About The Granite House l Rustic charm with design and modern comfort

The Granite House is an exceptional retreat located on the Quinta da Lila estate, offering a serene and intimate setting for couples or groups of up to four guests. Built from natural stone and surrounded by lush landscapes, the house combines rustic charm with modern comfort and provides breathtaking views.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a spacious living area featuring an oversized relaxation sofa. The interior is carefully designed with vintage pieces, including 1976 Nodo chairs by Mauro Pasquinelli and the iconic “The Rock” sofa by Dutch designer Gerard van den Berg. A vintage Moon lamp by Verner Panton adds an artistic touch.
The well-equipped kitchen and stylish bathroom with dark plastered walls offer both functionality and elegance. Comfort is ensured year-round with a cozy wood-burning stove, underfloor heating, and air conditioning on both floors.

A solid oak staircase leads to a charming mezzanine with a large double bed and ample storage space. Guests can enjoy eco-friendly amenities from 8950 Cosmetica, a local Algarve brand made with 99% natural ingredients and free of microplastics.

The outdoor spaces of The Granite House invite relaxation. The terraces offer stunning views of the vineyard.
The property includes a private garden, an herb garden, and an orchard with fruit trees such as lemon, orange, lime, and the rare Pera de Monchique apple. A plunge pool with a terrace, sun loungers, and parasols provides the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the surroundings in peace.

The estate is not recommended for families with children under 12 years, contributing to a calm and tranquil atmosphere. The Granite House can be rented independently or together with other houses on the estate, ensuring privacy and peace. The minimum stay is four nights with flexible arrival and departure days. During July, August, and the Christmas and New Year period, a minimum stay of seven nights applies, and bookings must align with existing reservations.

Reviews
5.0

In the heart of the Monchique mountains, this traditional house has been fully renovated and equipped, tastefully furnished, and fitted with high-quality amenities. The surroundings are peaceful, with no neighbors overlooking the property, a perfect place to truly get away, especially by the pool, a refreshing gem that is much appreciated. A car is essential to explore the area.

We stayed for a week in one of the houses at Quinta da Lila. A comfortable home for two people with a beautiful view from several terraces. The house is furnished with high-quality (garden) furniture and accessories. Communication with the landlord and owner is excellent, and they do everything possible to make the stay as pleasant as possible. One nice addition would be to equip the windows and entrance door with screens. This might not fit the design aesthetic, but it would definitely increase comfort. For visitors planning to cook for themselves, a tip: the kitchen does not have a built-in stovetop, but two electric hot plates instead. My advice is to use these mainly outside because cooking and frying odors tend to drift up to the sleeping area and linger. By the way, outside there is a fantastic 'red' egg barbecue waiting for you.

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.
