€50 per night (for the plot, includes 2 people)
Elevated hillside stay — wide views across the Algarve and surrounding mountains
About This Place
Quinta do Pisco is a large, wild and untouched piece of land set on the south side of Picota mountain in Monchique. With over 40 acres of forest, valleys and open ridgelines, it’s a place to properly disconnect and experience the Algarve from a different perspective.
Algarve View sits on an elevated part of the land with wide, open views across the south coast and surrounding hills. It’s a calm and spacious setting, offering a strong sense of openness without being fully exposed.
The land is rich in wildlife and crisscrossed with walking trails, including access to natural sulphur springs hidden in the valley below.
