All cottages have air conditioning, kitchen with stove, fridge, dishwasher, and the living room has a fireplace for the colder days. Each cottage has been decorated in accordance with a theme and each has a tale to tell. Do you know the name of the oak fruit? Have you ever seen a wild olive? Do you know what cork is used for?

The decoration took into account the earthy tones and materials processed by hand in order to make this a unique, simple, authentic and, above all, a warm and cosy atmosphere. We want you to feel at home at Monte do Giestal!

At Monte do Giestal you will find a wide range of activities to occupy your leisure and rest periods.

• How about a bike ride or a walk in the extensive area of the property?
• For the children, playing in the sand or spending a good time at the playground. Everything will become an adventure;
• Or a picnic in the countryside;
• A glass of wine and a good book sitting on a traditional bench amidst the cork trees;
• Do you have time for a nap after lunch or before dinner? No! So, do enjoy. Lie down and fall asleep to the sound of birds and wind, under the shade of a centenary tree;
• But if it gets too hot, it is best to take a swim in the pool and play with your little one in the water;
• In the evening, maybe a game of tennis;
• Alternatively, you can spend the afternoon enjoying the traditional games we have at your disposal, which is perhaps the best way to wait for dinner: a sack race, playing hopscotch, or a game with marbles;
• If you enjoy decorative works and handcraft, what do you think of attending classes where you will be able to produce true “masterpieces” in a short time, or perhaps oil painting in the countryside?
• Have you ever seen cork harvesting? Have you ever visited an olive oil mill? Or black pig production using the camping system? This is your chance!

If you prefer other activities outsider the property, perhaps you can enjoy:

• A jeep tour;
• A dip in the sea or a boat trip along the Alentejo coast;
• A good fishing session;
• Paint ball, archery, abseiling, among many other cultural, heritage, and sports possibilities.
