  • Swimming pool on site; snacks, drinks and local produce for sale
What might you sink your teeth into at Monte das Louzeiras, near the Spanish border between Seville and Serpa? Wine, harvested by the site from the vineyard next to the olive grove with 300-year-old trees… petiscos (local snacks)… sunset drinks… a barbecue? When it comes to scenery, the set-up is just as tasty, with a 40-hectare olive grove in the Serra Adiça and animals like sheep, horses, dogs, cats, geese, chickens, peacocks and an ostrich on the farm. The hosts Ana Luisa, Marc and VIP resident Dunga the ostrich live on the farm. They produce wine in amphorae and oak barrels, but their store stocks more besides wine: olive oil, piri piri, honeys, vinegars, flavoured salts and oils, and cosmetic products made from olive oil. It’s a family business with Swiss and Portuguese roots – and they’re very welcoming. There’s a good slice of nature at Monte das Louzeiras. In the garden, the hosts can provide breakfast, petiscos or even a barbecue. There’s a spacious patio surrounded by orange-toned trees, where they’ll be happy to serve you their wines and other drinks at sunset. And you'll be able to use the outdoor pool for a cooling dip too. When it comes to sampling local produce, you’ve got two main choices: olive oil and wine-tasting in the site’s adega or heading out on the Alentejo Wine Route. For snacks, the options are those served on site or a café in the little village of Vale de Vargo, 35 minutes’ walk away. Collect any groceries you need from the supermarket 10 minutes’ drive away, and then make your way to Serpa, 20 minutes’ drive away. This small town has cultural events and museums, plus it’s considered to be the capital of Cante Alentejano, a UNESCO-listed traditional Portuguese music genre.

Electric optional grass and earth touring pitch

Liked: Adorámos a hospitalidade e o espaço em geral, a generosidade e ajuda dos anfitriões, os animais e toda a envolvência. Espaço com um enorme potencial para ser ainda mais cativante no futuro.

Disliked: O que não gostámos foram tudo aspetos menores e que em nada estragaram a experiência. Os proprietários já os têm identificados e a seu tempo irão resolver, nomeadamente devido à chuva alguma lama e o número de casas de banho.

Simon W. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass and earth touring pitch

Liked: The ambiance and friendliness of the site, low level formalities and plenty of pitch space, the local area is also worth spending time in especially Serpa. The site owners are a wonderful family. The diverse range of animals who live at the site are an attraction in themselves too, a real experience of a Portuguese working olive grove and grape farm.

Disliked: Not a dislike at all, the plan for more WC and shower facilities will be a real bonus (when completed) to future guests.

Highly recommended.

Electric optional grass and earth touring pitch

Liked: Everything about the place.
Amazing, helpful, interesting people, always had time for us and we learned a lot about them snd their business (olives, wine..) and about Portugal.
We camped in the olive grove, max 10 vans, loos, shower, water, elec etc.... indoor and outdoor communal spaces to use, handy if raining, great to wash up in proper kitchen area.
Great cycling, birds (and that doesn't include the peacocks, chickens and geese here), countryside, small towns around.
Peaceful, gentle environment. Don't come here if you want shops and restaurants.
Main thing though is the people, Marc and Analuis. Wonderful hosts.

Electric optional grass and earth touring pitch

Liked: Absolutely loved it here. Mark and Louisa could not have been more friendly and welcoming. Despite the cold and rain we enjoyed walking through the olive groves, sampling their wine and honey. There are chickens, cats and all manner of animals here roaming freely and our dog thoroughly enjoyed it! Sad to leave, made some friends with the volunteers too and would definitely come back

Disliked: Possibly need another toilet and shower but Mark has this on his agenda

Recommend to friends Visit again

Absolutely loved every minute there. We will definitely be back.

Electric optional grass and earth touring pitch

Liked: What a beautiful site and the owners are such a lovely couple. When we arrived the peacocks, chickens and their dog were roaming free around the pitches. There is also an ostrich and a horse in a separate field. There is a room with eating tables and washing up facilitys. The family will light the wood burner in the evenings and with get you home produced wine, which is very nice, and will join in the conversation and made you feel part of the family.

Disliked: You have got to remember your caravan is on a farm and when it rain it does get muddy

Liked: Wat een paradijs. Een mooi terrein tussen de olijfbomen, prima faciliteiten, mooie omgeving voor wandelen en fietsen, rust en gezelligheid. De eigenaars zijn geweldig en zeer behulpzaam met alles. Ze schenken en verkopen heerlijke wijnen. Die maken ze zelf, net als de smaakvolle honing en olijfolie.
Zij zorgden ervoor dat ons verblijf een feestje werd. Grandioos!!!

Liked: Mark and Anna couldn’t be more helpful beautiful surroundings this is a working farm so expect some animal noise which wasn’t a problem for us with sheep wandering by and hens and peacocks coming to say hello also Lunar the sheepdog called many times a day for a stroke ,being a vineyard as well you must try the wine all in all we had a very enjoyable stay and if in area again will call in 👍

Local attractions

Just because you’re in landlocked Beja doesn’t mean that there are no water activities… the Alqueva (45 minutes’ drive) is the largest dam in western Europe, and there’s more than one way to take in the landscape. Take to the water with a canoe, paddleboard or boat or cruise around the shore on walking and mountain biking trails past castles. Along the route is Luz (an hour), a village that originally sank beneath the dam before being relocated, and the medieval houses of Monsaraz (an hour and five minutes). The area around the lake is a popular patch for stargazers; in Alentejo, the stars are often very vivid. In the way of water, pretty Pulo do Lobo (50 minutes) – which means ‘wolf’s leap’ in Portuguese – is another gorgeous spot. On the river Guadiana, the gorge has the tallest waterfall in south Portugal. Take a picnic trek or grab a bite to eat in the local villages.
