About The Baker's Cottage | With an eco-pool and views of the vineyards

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.

Details of The Baker’s Cottage:

  • Large double bed (1.60m x 2.00m)
  • Bathroom with a water-saving rain shower
  • Stylish, well-equipped kitchenette
  • Tasteful interior decor
  • Beautiful plunge pool (4m x 2m), fed with fresh mountain water

The Baker’s Cottage provides a truly unique, serene experience amidst natural beauty – a perfect retreat to reconnect with nature and unwind in comfort and style.

Location & site
Algarve - Monchique

Monchique in the Algarve is a picturesque mountain town known for its fresh air, lush landscapes, and peaceful atmosphere. Surrounded by forested hills and natural springs, it offers a cooler, greener side of the Algarve, perfect for those looking to escape the busy coast and connect with nature and local traditions.

Nearest Beaches
Although Monchique is nestled in the mountains, the coast is still within easy reach. A drive through the scenic countryside brings you to beaches like Praia da Rocha and Alvor, where you can enjoy wide sandy shores and refreshing ocean views. After a day in the hills, a beach trip adds the perfect balance of sea and sun.

Authentic Villages and Towns
The area around Monchique is dotted with charming villages that give a glimpse of authentic Algarve life. Small places like Alferce offer quiet streets, friendly locals, and beautiful views over the valleys. Further down, towns like Silves bring a historic touch with their castles, cobbled lanes, and lively markets that are full of local flavor.

Attractions and Activities
Monchique is a great place for outdoor adventures and cultural discoveries. You can hike up to the highest point in the Algarve at Foia or visit the calming thermal springs in Caldas de Monchique. Children will enjoy nature trails and exploring the forests, while adults can relax with a local meal or browse artisan shops selling regional crafts. The mix of nature, tradition, and laid-back activities makes Monchique a refreshing destination for all.
