Estalagem Abrigo da Montanha

Hectic and stress are foreign words in the expanse of Algarve hilly interior around Monchique. Since times immemorial knotted mountain farmers and small women in straw hats dressed in black meet to exchange longish gossip on the street and in small shops or chemist's. Goods are indeed transported on a donkey's back or carried on the head. The air is clear and pure and scents with eucalyptuses, chestnuts, cork trees and herbs typical of the region. Here, time stands still and slowness rules. 8 km north of Monchique, near the mount Foia, our 4-star hotel Estalagem Abrigo da Montanha is located. Situated 900 m above the sea level, it is the highest settlement in the mountains, offering breathtaking views on the plains up to Portimão and the Atlantic. On a clear day you can even spot the westernmost point of Portugal, Cabo San Vincente.

The hotel, typically for the region built of granite and wood, gives the impression of warmth and a rustic charm. Surrounded by terraced flowerbeds and embedded in a natural land plot of 10,000 sq.m. area planted with vegetation typical of the region, this hotel offers everything that you need for thorough relaxation. Whether you wish to have a good time by the pool, take a relaxing massage or aromatherapy on request, or enjoy hiking and trips in the idyllic countryside, this area has something interesting on offer for everyone. The hotel staff will be happy to compose a picnic basket for your hiking trip. The large outdoor dance floor with its own bar invites you to enjoy hot salsa rhythms or tranquil Fado evenings under the clear starry night skies. Finally, you can wind up the evening in front of the open fireplace of our comfortable lounge with a glass of delicious Portuguese red wine or Port in hand.
