Monte Saraz - Tursimo Rural
 
An Oasis of serenity
Monte Saraz is a eighteenth-century 'monte' (a typical Alentejo farming estate) which has been restored to its original state, offering repose and quality during your stay, provided in comfortable, separate farmhouses or in suites located in the main building.
Allow yourself to fall in love with the Alentejo plain and discover this peaceful retreat in the heart of Alto Alentejo, only 45 km from Évora, from which you will be able to enjoy the magnificent view of the medieval town of Monsaraz, savour the regional cuisine, go on walking or bicycle tours, visit prehistoric monuments, discover neighbouring villages or even enjoy the beauty of the lakes formed by the waters of Alqueva.
In Monte Saraz you can find tranquillity at any time of year, be it by the warmth of a good hearth or swimming in the swimming-pool shaped by the arches of an old olive oil press. Surrounded by an ancient olive grove, by vegetable plots and orchards, it hints at a scenery worthy of Paradise, designed for those who appreciate the good things in life.

ACCOMMODATION
Apart from the elegance of its traditional architecture, Monte Saraz offers the comfort found in any modern residence (such as central heating). It includes the Casa de Lagar (the main building) where breakfast is served, containing the two suites, and four small separate farmhouses, furnished and decorated in a rustic Minimalist style, with the occasional example of ethnic art collected by the proprietor, Marc Lammerink, during his numerous journeys.
A privileged space, in which to rest far away from the confusion of the city, the estate (‘Monte’) is surrounded by bird-song and by the renown olive grove of Pega. The houses give direct access to gardens dotted by ponds covered in water-lilies and to a citrus fruit orchard, which invite you to take your time relaxing, sunbathing, reading at your leisure, with perhaps only an interlude to bathe in the refreshing swimming-pool.
At night, you can have dinner under the starry sky, close to the swimming-pool, having as scenery the illuminated medieval castle town of Monsaraz and, as musical accompaniment, the chirrups of crickets and cicadas.
