Monte do Casal is a real 'hidden gem' – the type of place you think doesn't exist. It has taken 20 years to evolve from an old manor house to the most wonderful hotel it is today – your holiday is one you will always treasure.

Monte do Casal is a beautiful old 18th century Country House Hotel, offering a high degree of privacy with an emphasis on comfort, personal service and first class food in a very special atmosphere of total relaxation – it has recently become a member of the prestigious and exclusive 'Small Luxury Hotels of the World'.

There are twelve individually designed and decorated spacious Suites and Bedrooms at the hotel, each with their own large private terrace – and it is here where your breakfast will be served each morning. The luxury breakfast is brought to your private terrace by your personal maid, discreetly and directly without bothering you – one of many reasons that makes Monte do Casal a superb, unique hotel.

During 2004, all the Suites, Bedrooms and Bathrooms in the hotel were beautifully refurbished with mahogany furniture, extra large beds, choice of pillows, white marble and double basins, extra large showerheads with separate controls and the finest bathroom tiles.

Monte do Casal is in a protected preservation area close to the ancient hill village of Estoi, just 15 minutes drive from the airport, 25 minutes from Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo and the world famous golf courses and beaches.
