Monte Abastura is a former stable dating from the late 19th century that was meticulously restored in 2021. The property preserves the essence of traditional Portuguese architecture and combines historic features with modern comforts, all set amid an extraordinary natural landscape.
Nestled on a three-hectare private estate, Monte Abastura is situated in the rolling hills of the Reserva Natural do Sapal de Castro Marim nature reserve in the eastern Algarve. Its tranquil setting among pine trees, Mediterranean vegetation, and sweeping views makes the property a retreat far removed from mass tourism. At the same time, the natural beaches of the eastern Algarve, the lagoon landscape of the Ria Formosa, and the Atlantic coast are all just about 15 minutes away.
Inside the house, natural materials, traditional architecture, and a minimalist design create a warm and relaxed atmosphere. The spacious kitchen-dining area forms the heart of the home and opens onto the indoor and outdoor dining areas, offering sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. The bright living area leads directly to the south-facing terrace with a shaded pergola and private pool. Two comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms offer ample space for families or couples. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and Marshall Bluetooth speakers provide additional comfort during your stay.
The large private pool, measuring 10 × 5 meters, blends harmoniously into the landscape and invites you to enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings. A crib is also available upon request.
The region around Castro Marim is one of the most unspoiled areas in the Algarve. Hiking and biking trails lead right through the protected natural landscape of the Sapal Nature Reserve, which is known for its birdlife and salt marshes. The historic towns of Castro Marim, Tavira, and Cacela Velha are just a few minutes’ drive away and offer regional restaurants, weekly markets, and an authentic glimpse into Portuguese culture. At the same time, the miles-long sandy beaches of the Eastern Algarve are among the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Portugal.
Monte Abastura is a destination for travelers who appreciate architecture, nature, and privacy. Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean, a nature reserve, and the tranquil landscapes of the Algarve, it offers a retreat characterized by tranquility, open spaces, and the slow pace of life in the South.
