About Quinta da Lila | A breathtaking estate surrounded by serene mountain ranges

Nestled in the lush green hills of the Serra de Monchique, near the charming town of Monchique in the Algarve, Portugal, Quinta da Lila is a tranquil rural retreat. Surrounded by the breathtaking natural beauty of the region, this serene haven offers the perfect escape into nature. The estate masterfully blends historic charm with modern comforts, creating an eco-friendly getaway in one of the Algarve's most peaceful mountain settings.

Spanning 3.3 hectares, Quinta da Lila features terraces lined with historic stone walls, predominantly cultivated as a vineyard, along with olive, lemon, orange, and mandarin trees, as well as the rare local apple variety, Pera de Monchique. Beyond the landscaped terraces lies a vast expanse of cork oak and strawberry trees, used in distilling the famous local brandy, medronho.

A standout feature of the estate is its three historic irrigation tanks, converted into swimming pools while retaining their original charm. Two of these pools are equipped with UVC filters to minimize chemical use, while the third is naturally fed by a spring with fresh mountain water that flows year-round. Natural springs and streams further enhance the serene atmosphere and deep connection to nature.

Due to the estate's unique layout and features, it is not recommended for families with children under the age of 12.


The estate offers flexible accommodation options:

  • For 2 to 8 guests: Combine The Yellow House and The Baker’s Cottage.
  • For 2 to 10 guests: Combine The Yellow House and The Granite House.
  • For 2 to 12 guests: Rent the entire estate, including The Yellow House, The Granite House, and The Baker’s Cottage.

The Yellow HouseThe largest of the three houses, The Yellow House accommodates up to six guests and includes a main building and two separate annexes (Suite 2 and Suite 3). The main building houses the master bedroom, bathroom, living room, and kitchen, while each suite is fully self-contained with a private toilet and shower. The separate buildings provide privacy, making it ideal for groups who enjoy traveling together while valuing their personal space.

The Granite HousePerched at the top of the estate, The Granite House is an extraordinary retreat perfect for couples but also ideal for up to four guests. Combining rustic charm with modern comfort, this stunning house, built from rough stone, offers cozy, intimate spaces and breathtaking views. It’s the ideal choice for those seeking tranquility and style amidst natural beauty.

The Baker’s CottageThe smallest but most unique accommodation, The Baker’s Cottage, is located at the heart of the vineyard. It offers stunning views of Picota, the second-highest peak in the Algarve, and features private terraces and a natural plunge pool fed year-round by fresh mountain water. Perfect for a romantic getaway or a quiet escape for two, this cozy retreat promises a truly memorable experience.

Quinta da Lila is a perfect destination for those seeking serenity, natural beauty, and the comforts of a thoughtfully designed estate. Whether you're looking for a romantic retreat, a family gathering, or a group escape, this remarkable estate offers unparalleled charm and tranquility
