About The Granite House l Vintage Luxury and Stunning Views

An extraordinary retreat perched atop the estate, The Granite House is ideal for couples yet perfectly suited for up to four guests. This stunning house combines rustic charm with modern comfort. Surrounded by natural beauty and built from raw stone, The Granite House offers a cozy, intimate atmosphere with breathtaking views – the perfect destination for those seeking tranquility and style.

Due to the nature of the estate, it is not recommended for families with children under the age of 12.

Upon entering The Granite House, you are welcomed by an impressive oversized lounge sofa that dominates the stylish living area. The space is further enhanced by vintage Nodo chairs from 1976, designed by Mauro Pasquinelli, and the iconic The Rock sofa by renowned Dutch designer Gerard van den Berg. A vintage Moon lamp, attributed to Verner Panton, adds an artistic touch.


The well-equipped kitchen and chic bathroom, featuring dark plastered walls, offer both style and functionality. A cozy wood stove and underfloor heating keep you warm during the winter, while air conditioning on both floors ensures comfort during warmer days.

A solid oak staircase leads to a charming mezzanine featuring a spacious double bed and ample storage.

Eco-friendly amenities from 8950 Cosmetics, a local Algarve brand, are provided. These products are made with 99% natural ingredients and are free from microplastics.

Outside, you can relax on the expansive terraces with stunning views of the vineyard. The Granite House also boasts an herb garden and an orchard with fruit trees, including lemon, orange, lime, and the rare Pera de Monchique apple. A beautiful plunge pool with a deck, sun loungers, and umbrellas offers the perfect spot to unwind in this idyllic setting.

The Granite House is part of the stunning Quinta da Lila estate. All houses on the estate can be rented individually but are also ideal for group stays. When rented individually, every guest enjoys ample privacy and serenity. Additionally, no young children (under 12 years old) are present on the estate, contributing to a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.


The Granite House is available for rent with a minimum stay of 4 nights, with no fixed check-in day, allowing for arrival and departure on any day of your choice.

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.
