"A lively self-sustainable homestead, where we grow our own food,

care for our animals, and live in harmony with nature."

Welcome to Monchique Homestead

Nestled in the beautiful Serra de Monchique in the Algarve, our self-sufficient homestead is driven by sustainable farming and permaculture principles. We grow our own food, care for our chickens and goats, and embrace a lifestyle rooted in organic, self-sufficient living. Our thriving vegetable garden yields fresh produce year-round, while our happy animals provide farm-fresh eggs, milk, and homemade cheese. With years of hands-on experience in sustainable agriculture and homestead management, we’re eager to share our permaculture techniques and farming knowledge with you.

Enchanting place! Delightfully restful. A big tent with a phenomenal view. (...) A real recommendation for parents with (small) children. And also people without children. Actually, for everyone. Especially with the hospitality offered by Tom and Monique. Super!
