Charming Countryside Room - Outdoor Kitchen & Pool
Comfortable double room, originally the old garage of the farm, at the rural guesthouse Monte Rosa close to the beautiful beaches of Lagos. Decorated in green and yellow colors, the room is suitable for 2-3 people, featuring a double bed and an extra single bed if desired. It has a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, as well as 2 very private terraces. Guests have access to the swimming pool, yoga lessons and many other activities.
Monte Rosa is a peaceful rural guesthouse in the unspoiled countryside of the Algarve. Away from mass tourism, it's the ideal place to rest and unwind. But also, if you are looking for an action-packed holiday and love to go hiking or biking, do yoga, try out surfing, enjoy horse riding… When staying at Monte Rosa you will find what you are looking for!
* Accommodation Monte Rosa's comfortable accommodation consists of various renovated rustic buildings that once formed a farm with its own wine cellar and horse stables.
Set in 10 acres of rural land surrounded by old almond, olive and fig trees, guests can book any of the 8 rooms and apartments available, which vary in decor, size and facilities.
All rooms have pleasant outside seating areas and access to the swimming pool. In the winter, we provide indoor heating facilities.
* Location Monte Rosa is located only 2 km from Barão de São João, a picturesque village where you can find two small supermarkets and some nice restaurants and cafes.
The historical town of Lagos is only 9 km away from Monte Rosa. In Lagos, you can enjoy some of the most beautiful beaches of the Algarve, lots of restaurants, shops, museums and interesting monuments.
Faro Airport is about 90 km and a 1-hour-drive away. At Monte Rosa we provide a transfer service from and to the airport. We can also arrange car hire for you, which will give you the freedom to explore the southwest of the Algarve.
* Meals Breakfast: At Monte Rosa, we serve a daily breakfast (€ 10 pp, not included in your booking) with fresh fruit, juice, Greek yoghurt, granola, herbal tea and coffee, different types of bread with various kinds of cheese and your choice of eggs - laid by our own chicken. Our breakfast will give you tons of energy to start your day.
Dinner: On Monday, Wednesday and Friday we serve a home cooked three-course meal (€ 22 pp, not included in your booking) prepared with ingredients directly from our own garden. Usually we cook vegetarian or with fish, if preferred we can prepare a meat dish as well.
In case of any special dietary request, we will always try our best to accommodate your needs.
* Activities At Monte Rosa, you can unwind and enjoy nature in peace and tranquility. We offer a friendly and relaxed atmosphere where you can recover from the stress and strains of modern, everyday life.
If you are looking to fill your stay with enjoyable activities, we are able to offer many different experiences such as:
Hiking & Biking, Yoga & Meditation, Stand Up Paddling, Surf Lessons, Horse Riding, Boat Rides, Fado Nights, Massages
In our own activity room, the beautiful Round House, you’ll find a range of different classes and workshops, such as weekly yoga lessons, djembé drumming, spiritual theater workshops, mantra singing, sound healing, painting courses, etc. Guests of Monte Rosa are always welcome to join the activities in The Round House.
* Children We love children and enjoy their open attitude and spontaneous joy. At Monte Rose, kids will not be bored! They can enjoy our playground and pool, play different games, help feed the animals or use our dressing-up clothes.
Keeping with our ethos though, strive to maintain our peaceful environment and ask that all children show respect for one another, for other guests present at Monte Rosa, for our animals and the environment.

Thank you so much for staying with us! It was a real pleasure having you, and we would absolutely love to welcome you back anytime. We hope the memory of the peaceful mornings and the countryside will stay with you until your next visit.
Warm regards,
Joana & the Monte Rosa family
My partner and I absolutely loved Monte Rosa. It is simply the most ideal rural farm stay brimming with a lovely little kitchen garden, chickens, scratch cooked dinners and most importantly, the people who are there! 6 days was not enough. And as an added bonus you are only 15 min from the bustling towns and main city (Lagos) in the Algarve region of Portugal. So we had the best of the rural and the city!
Allison and I both work in urban farming and hospitality so we really valued all of the little touches and details that went into the place. We can not express how much we loved the hosts Fabio and Marisol! They are wildly exceptional humans. Gracious, clear communicators and simply a delight to be around.
Sandra's breakfast with her perfect 'Spiegelei' is the best! Theo helped us plan an amazing bike tour and Noémia set up the rooms so beautifully with foraged flowers and she is warm and wonderful. Marisol's dinners are exceptional (and she makes the best sangria!) and on our last night there we stayed and hung out with the friends we made enjoying some of the traditional dishes she made. Monte Rosa, we miss you already!
Você é o melhor! Jij bent de beste! From Philly, with Love.

Thank you so much for this incredibly generous message. It truly means a lot to all of us here at Monte Rosa.
It was a real pleasure having you with us, and we loved the conversations we shared during your stay.
Knowing that you both work in urban farming and hospitality makes your appreciation of the small details especially meaningful to us.
We’re very happy that you enjoyed the garden, the dinners, the peaceful rhythm of the place and the balance between the countryside and nearby Lagos. I will make sure to share your kind words with everyone — Sandra will be very happy to hear about her Spiegelei, Theo about the bike tour, and Noémia about the flowers.
Marisol also sends a big thank you for the compliments about the dinners and sangria!
Guests like you are exactly what make Monte Rosa such a special place. We truly hope our paths cross again one day — perhaps next time for a longer stay.
From the Algarve, with gratitude,
Monte Rosa family
Nous avons passé 3 nuits dans ce petit logement ouvert vers la nature. Tout le nécessaire était à disposition pour passer un séjour en autonomie. L'accueil convivial et chaleureux nous a permis de nous sentir bien dés notre arrivée et nous avons pu visiter de nombreux sites magnifiques autour de notre logement(prévoir un véhicule car le logement est un peu éloigné des plages et sites touristiques). Lieu calme, apaisant en pleine nature.

Merci beaucoup pour votre gentil message.
Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié le calme de la nature et l’atmosphère paisible de Monte Rosa. C’est toujours un plaisir de savoir que nos hôtes se sentent bien accueillis et peuvent profiter de quelques jours de repos tout en découvrant les magnifiques paysages de la région.
Merci également pour votre remarque concernant la voiture — en effet, notre situation à la campagne permet de profiter du calme tout en restant à quelques minutes des plages et de Lagos.
Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau lors d’un prochain séjour en Algarve.
