About The Baker's Cottage | Stunning Vineyard Views & Natural Pool

While it may be our smallest house, The Baker’s Cottage offers an exceptional experience. Nestled in the heart of the vineyard, it boasts breathtaking views of Picota, the second-highest peak in the Algarve. The cottage features private terraces and a natural plunge pool, fed year-round by fresh mountain water. It is perfect for a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat for two.

Once home to a bread oven, The Baker’s Cottage is a charming escape divided into two spaces: a cozy living area and a serene bedroom. The living area includes a kitchenette, a dining table, a seating area, and a wood stove for the winter months. Underfloor heating and air conditioning provide additional comfort year-round. The bedroom features an ensuite bathroom with a shower, toilet, and sink.


In keeping with our signature style, The Baker’s Cottage is furnished with unique vintage pieces, such as a rare 1960s floor lamp by Luigi Massoni and a pair of 1970s Bruno Rey dining chairs.

Outside, you’ll find a warm and cold water outdoor shower, a wooden deck with a dining area, a small lounge terrace, and a secluded platform perfect for yoga. The highlight of The Baker’s Cottage is its natural pool, fed by mountain water, complemented by a private sun deck.

Location & site
Algarve - Monchique

Monchique is an ideal destination for hiking and outdoor activities, with beautiful hiking trails and views. Monchique is a village located in the western part of the Algarve, and it is surrounded by the lush and mountainous Monchique Mountains. The village itself is situated about 20 kilometers inland from the coast, making it an ideal place for those seeking peace and nature. Monchique is known for its handmade products, including ceramics and cork products.

Monchique offers local shops for daily necessities, and for more extensive shopping, you can go to Portimão, which is located about 20 kilometers away on the coast. The village has cozy dining establishments where you can enjoy traditional Portuguese dishes and local specialties. At the heart of the village is the charming church of Nossa Senhora do Desterro, a historical landmark well worth a visit. Just 4 kilometers away from the village, you can find the thermal springs of Monchique, known as the "sacred waters" as referred to by the Romans in the first century BC.

Several stunning beaches are within a 30-45 minute drive from Monchique, making it easy to combine a mountain retreat with a beach day. On the southern Algarve coast, the nearest beaches include Praia da Rocha (about 35 minutes away), a famous beach in Portimão known for its golden sands and dramatic cliffs, and Praia de Alvor, around 40 minutes away, a beautiful, expansive beach with dunes and calm waters.

Heading west towards the Costa Vicentina, you can reach more rugged, natural beaches like Praia da Arrifana or Praia do Amado, both approximately a 45-minute drive. These beaches are popular for surfing and offer a wilder, less-developed landscape compared to the southern Algarve coast. Each of these beaches provides excellent opportunities for sunbathing, swimming, surfing, or simply enjoying a scenic coastal walk, making them perfect day-trip options from Monchique.
