Notes
- MONTE BRANCO is a peaceful country haven.....ideal to rest and unwind from the hectic life....but for those active souls.....there's plenty to do. Wonderful walks through the olive groves, to visit ancient neolithic monuments (burial chambers from 3,000 BC), visit the historical village of Monsaraz, a pedestrianized walled town with its ancient Roman arena, Churches and chapels, craft shops and very good inexpensive restaurants. The newly formed lake Alqueva provides great spots for picnics,fishing,boat trips. The town of S.Pedro Corval is a pottery shoppers paradise, being the largest pottery centre in the Iberian peninsular with 40 different family potteries selling their handmade painted wares. If birdwatching, or stargazing is your passion...this is the place. Children can run freely, visit the neighbours' farm with goat's, chickens, rabbits CEILERO (Old Barn) - Perfect for residents to get together, wine, dine, relax or party. Ideal for meetings, parties, weddings.

Ask a questionAbout Jane Doody
Born in England and having travelled the world extensively, I am so priveledged to have discovered the wonderful life in Portugal. Living in Sintra and bringing up my two sons Anthony and Francis...Monte Branco became our weekend and summer home. Bought in 1985 the Monte was abandoned so first priority was to install a bathroom and running water in Casa Antiga... second priority was to build a swimming pool to refresh from the summer heat...and plant palm trees to creat a little oasis! Monte Branco then grew slowly each year, converting another building and becoming a fun meeting place for friends and birthdays. The last conversion was the old animal barn ...now the Celeiro a large communal room ideal for events, weddings, yoga workshops or just for guests to gather and relax. Monte Branco guests are made to feel at home and even when full (20 - 25 guests) there is always a quiet shady corner! It is wonderful to now be able to share this hideaway with others!
