Monte Meu Costal Farm Stay

Wir, Ute Gerhardt, Pädagogin und Reitlehrerin, und Walter Bofenschen, Stadtplaner, leben seit 1990 in dieser ursprünglichen Gegend an der Südwestküste Portugals, mitten im Naturpark Costa Vicentina. Alle, die in intakter Natur direkt am Meer Erholung suchen oder die traumhafte Dünenlandschaft zu Pferd entdecken wollen, laden wir ein, ihren Urlaub bei uns zu verbringen.
4 Apartments stehen für Sie zur Verfügung.

Life of a Leek!

Grown right here at Monte Meu. Pulled from the garden beds and grilled outdoors just before sunset.

Simple food, farm to table.

While we were setting the table we realised we don’t have any chargerplates.

‘What if we use figleaves?’
’One or two per plate?’
’Two’.
A quick conversation where one of us has the idea and the other makes the decision. Something Sara and I do often.

Antiques from moms, vintage lace sewn by grandma, w**eglasses found when treasurehunting at a 2nd hand store and a touch of sunshine. We love mixing old and new with fresh garden energy to create tables that feel warm, welcoming and relaxed.

When you think the garden slows down and you didn’t plant anything new… still a handful of garden memories, made of vibrant Dahlias, a touch of Sweet Peas, Amaranthus and who whould have guessed, Zinnias.

Nature keeps mesmerizing.
Simple, fresh, and full of life - exactly how we like to bring the garden into the Monte.

Our Monte calls for cooking, dining and living outdoors.

No four walls: an open view and a cool ocean breeze.
And prepping dinner as the sun sets over the sea is our favorite summer plan.
Garden vegetables on the grill, animals around and everyone lending a hand. Good food nourishes us, but the time we spend being together, that’s what truly brings the week to life.

Have an idea for a gathering or want to host something here but don’t know where to start?

Let’s brainstorm and design your bespoke week or weekend together.

Architectural details here carry a story forward, take the cana wall in the breakfast barn.

Monte Meu and all the old farm houses in the village had ceilinging covered with the abundant cana, long bamboo like reeds, that shape the landscape.

Nowadays, new ceilings are insulated and plastered but we wanted to keep the beauty and tradition alive so we turned the cana vertically to create a striking piece that brings the outside in and the old finds the new.

We had lots of fun harvesting the Cana, scaping them clean and fitting them together like a puzzle.

We are enjoying watching them mellow from green to a warm ochre color.

A special thank you to our helpers Ben and Luna for their hard work and good cheer!

Making friends in the field.
Farm life through little eyes!
Spending the day outdoors, getting to know the animals and making memories around Monte Meu.
Days made for running wild and slowing down.

Nothing beats cooking outside and sitting down as the sun begins to set. Simple, fresh dishes made to be shared around the table.

Join us for week-long themed stays, retreats or a gathering with family and friends.

Make yourself at home here: get creative in the kitchen, put fresh flowers on the table and enjoy.

What we’ve been up to lately (besides playing with shadows and spending time with our horses):

We harvested the grapes and turned them into fresh juice. Succeeded in putting up the handwritten signs by auntie Chill. so happy with the result!
Took dips in the Atlantic for a quick recharge, shared colorful meals fresh from our horta and caught some nice sunsets.

This table has seen so many stories, so much laughter and people who arrive as guests and leave as friends.

There’s something about sitting outside under the Alentejo sky that makes everyone slow down and just be.

Save a seat, we’re passing the w**e around! And drop us a message if you want to create something with us.

It’s our year of the Zinnia.

Colourful joy, easy care, flowered amazingly (and is currently in need of my attention).

For a family gathering table, the breakfast nook or to add a natural touch to your bedside table, flowers do the trick. No formal arrangements, just flowers that make Monte Meu feel like home and bring us joy.

Whether you’re planning a family gathering or a creative retreat, we’d love to welcome you. Send us a message to plan your stay.
