Monte das Louzeiras

Nestled within the sun-drenched Alentejo region near the Spanish border, Monte das Louzeiras is an extraordinary farm-stay camping destination where nature, tranquillity and local flavours combine to create a truly memorable experience. You’ll find yourself on a 40-hectare olive grove and vineyard estate in the Serra Adiça, surrounded by ancient olive trees (some 250-300 years old) and a working vineyard.

The atmosphere here is warm and personal — hosted by Ana Luisa, Marc, and their friendly ostrich, Dunga, who welcome every guest as part of their family. The farm produces its own wine and olive oil, along with local delicacies like honey, piri-piri, and handmade olive-oil cosmetics, all available at the on-site shop.

You can enjoy a delicious breakfast or petisco (Portuguese snacks) in the shady patio surrounded by orange and lemon trees, or join a barbecue evening as the sun sets over the hills. The estate also has a swimming pool and terrace, perfect for cooling off or sipping local wine while watching the golden Alentejo light fade into evening.

Guests can unwind in the palm park, read in a hammock, or enjoy some friendly games of badminton, volleyball, or boules — all equipment is available on site. The park also provides a calm space for yoga, pilates, or meditation, making it perfect for wellness retreats or peaceful getaways.

Whether you arrive with a tent, caravan, or motorhome, you’ll find generous, well-kept pitches surrounded by olive trees, with options for electric hook-up, water access, and Wi-Fi. The property combines rustic charm with comfort — an authentic countryside stay enriched with genuine hospitality and slow-living at its finest.

Set in the peaceful countryside of southern Alentejo, Monte das Louzeiras is surrounded by beautiful landscapes, small villages, and cultural treasures waiting to be explored. Just a 35-minute walk away lies Vale de Vargo, a quiet village with a local café where you can experience Portuguese village life.

A short 10-minute drive takes you to the nearest supermarket, and the charming town of Serpa is just 20 minutes away. Here, you’ll find shops, restaurants, museums, and cultural events — the town is famous as the capital of “Cante Alentejano”, a traditional UNESCO-listed singing style that still echoes through its historic streets.

If you’re looking for outdoor adventures, there are several attractions within easy reach. The Pulo do Lobo gorge on the River Guadiana (around 50 minutes away) offers breathtaking natural views and hiking routes. The Alqueva Reservoir, one of Europe’s largest artificial lakes, is about 45 minutes away and ideal for canoeing, paddle-boarding, or boat trips.

For those who prefer to stay close to nature, the area surrounding Monte das Louzeiras is a paradise for walking, cycling, bird-watching, and photography. Every day ends beautifully here — with a glowing sunset over the olive groves and a night sky full of stars, far from city lights.

Camping Monte das Louzeiras is open all year round, offering guests the chance to experience the Alentejo in every season. While the property is set in a rural area, it’s easily accessible by car and offers plenty of space for motorhomes, twin-axle vehicles, and caravans.

The campsite is pet-friendly, so you’re welcome to bring your dog — just remember that friendly farm animals like geese, peacocks, and chickens roam freely, so pets should be kept supervised. The calm environment makes it ideal for families, couples, and digital nomads seeking inspiration and serenity.

The site provides water hook-ups, electricity connections, clean sanitary facilities, and Wi-Fi (4G router available). A barbecue area and outdoor dining terrace make it easy to enjoy meals outdoors, while the patio and pool area are perfect for socializing or relaxing in the sunshine.

If you plan to explore, it’s recommended to have your own transport — shops, restaurants, and attractions are a short drive away rather than within walking distance. There’s no nightlife here; instead, you’ll find peaceful evenings with soft music, starlit skies, and the sounds of nature.

Above all, Monte das Louzeiras is about slowing down. It’s a place to reconnect — with nature, with good food and wine, and with yourself. Between the olive trees and vineyards, every stay here feels like a deep breath of the real Alentejo.
