Vacation Rental Description
Pleasant in all seasons Monte Serra is a great place for gathering family and friends when all are looking forward to sharing joy and pleasure. Straddling a ridge in a still unspoiled rolling landscape overlooking the coastline basking in the sun, hidden at the end of a long access road, here is peace, quiet and safety for children: no traffic, except for your self, the neighbour, the shepherd with his flock. And a gated wall seals off the pool area. 
Stroll over the grounds, pick your grapefruit for breakfast, listen to the birds and at night, enjoy the starry sky and perfume of ”dama da noite”, a flower that awakens when the sun has set. Thirty acres of centuries old trees ensure your tranquility and privacy.  
Restored to its 19th century glory, the CASARÃO features Moorish flavoured doors and windows, period furniture, Kazakh rugs and stylish bathrooms. Original terra cotta tiles clad the floors and antique tiles depicting birds or flowers adorn kitchen and bathroom walls. The well equipped kitchen kept its original oven which once roasted twelve piglets to celebrate a village wedding. The cashier's office became a stylish dining room and through the wrought iron window bars one may catch a glimpse of the shepherd and his fluffy flock as they go past the old country track.  
Cobbled terraces amidst rose beds beckon for an 'al fresco' lunch. Thick stone walls, high ceilings and whispering fans keep the house amazingly cool during the hot summer days; come winter and log fires, art nouveau stoves and heaters take over. 
Summary: 245m2/2700 sqft for 6~7 guests; corridor, living, dining, large kitchen, utility room, 3 bedrooms (2x double, 1x twin beds), 3 bathrooms(2x bath, 1x shower) 
The estate features 3 other independent accommodations:  
- the PATIO HOUSE for 4 guests, living, open plan kitchen/dining, 2 bedrooms, shared bathroom, wood-burning fireplace;  
- the WHITE STABLES for 2~5p. G/F with open plan cooking/living/dining area, bedroom (twin), bathroom; mezzanine (30m2) with master bedroom and bathroom.  
- the COTTAGE, 750sqft of rustic luxury, open plan living/dining/kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, toilet.
