Monte das Aranhas is a unique, lovingly-restored farmhouse set in tranquil vineyards with wide-open views of Alentejo. It is one of the few farms practising organic viticulture in Portugal and is part of the sustainable touism movement; the owner is fully committed to developing environmentally-friendly processes.
The property has two separate three-bedroomed houses, Casa Mae and Casa Agricola, which have been beautifully restored in keeping with its traditional use as a farmhouse, but also with finesse and taste to offer a unique and stimulating experience. Casa Mae has a large sitting room and an ensuite bathroom in the master bedroom. Both houses are fully equipped with air conditioning, TV, Wi-Fi, wood-burning stoves and full kitchen facilities.
We always welcome our guests personally on arrival, and our friendly staff will offer you a complimentary drink and an orientation to the property and the area. A homemade breakfast option is available on request, and guests have full use of all the facilities including bicycles and walks in the private grounds. Monte das Aranhas is situated 16 km from Estremoz and 35 km from Évora; both towns offer days out and sightseeing opportunities.
We also offer our guests a wine tasting experience and a tour of the vineyards to learn about some of the eco-friendly practices that go into producing our variety of grapes.
So, come and enjoy perfect relaxation in the silence of the countryside, lounging by the garden pool or on the sun terrace. In the evenings or autumn days, enjoy relaxing in front of a fire, reading books from the library or playing board games.
