Monte da Xara....The luxury of silence, nature and privacy… Monte da Xara has capacity for 2 adults and 2 children, and all the necessary ingredients for a relaxing stay, and an array of extras including free WI-FI, king-size bed and self catering breakfast (local products are at the disposal of the guests inside the house). We provide all the information about the region and organized activities. Recently we improved the WI-FI for our guests.
I have a great pleasure in hosting because I like to meet new people and new cultures. I have a great pride to live in Aljezur and I like to share that feeling with others. As I only have a single accommodation, I have time and willingness to meet, talk and help guests in all that is necessary. A very personalized service.
Near the best wild beaches of Southwest Alentejo and Costa Vicentina Natural Park, Monte da Xara - Cottage House is a cosy independent apartment in the middle of nature. With private terrace and separate entrance. The neighbors are 100 metres away. I have 2 very friendly dogs and the neighbors have horses, chickens ...etc. ...
