About this property

Monte da Estrela - Country House & SPA

Hidden in the peaceful countryside of Alentejo, Monte da Estrela is a private estate created for unforgettable moments with family and friends. With exclusive access to the entire property, guests enjoy complete privacy surrounded by nature, silence and open landscapes beneath one of Europe’s clearest night skies.

The estate comfortably accommodates up to 18 guests across 8 bedrooms, with generous indoor and outdoor living spaces designed for gathering, relaxing and slowing down. Days begin with long breakfasts outdoors and flow naturally between the pool, the spa and the lounge areas, before ending with endless dinners under the stars. As the sun sets, the fire pit and the central fireplace become the heart of the experience, creating the perfect atmosphere for long conversations, good wine and peaceful evenings together.

Located near the Alqueva Dark Sky Reserve and next to Alqueva Lake, the largest artificial lake in Europe, Monte da Estrela offers a rare combination of authenticity, comfort and absolute privacy. Guests can enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, BBQ area, games room and spacious social areas, while additional experiences such as breakfast service, massages, horse riding, boat tours and water sports on the lake can also be arranged upon request.

Whether for a multi-generational family holiday, a getaway with friends, an international retreat or a corporate offsite, Monte da Estrela was designed to bring people together and offer a true Alentejo experience at a slower pace.
