A Family
Story
The encounter of happiness with the peace of the countryside
Monte da Aferrada is born from the pursuit of happiness and the encounter with the peace of the countryside. In the family since at least the 19th century, the Monte da Aferrada, passed down from generation to generation, is a handful of nature and memories that were almost lost in the inertia of time and the hustle and bustle of distant city lives.
Childhood memories and the desire to keep family memories led Filipa and her husband João Pedro to restore a refuge where they could enjoy the peace of Alentejo with their family.
The family quickly became enthusiastic about the idea of reviving family traditions, introducing the younger generation to the experience of country life, and preserving past memories and experiences.
Where nature and stories unite
The desire to maintain a heritage of five generations, the love for the land and countryside of Great-Grandfather João Felipe, and the childhood memories of Grandfather Zé, led the family to revive these teachings and pass them on to their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren!
This is where the family gathers and where the children learn to tend the plants, feed the animals and listen to the stories that have been passed down from generation to generation.
It is also here that we invite you to exchange the noise and confusion of the city for nights under a starry sky, the cool shade of a stone pine, the chirping of crickets at dusk, and the importance of learning old habits and traditions.
Inspired by the surrounding landscape, Monte da Aferrada was designed to make your visit a unique, comfortable, and relaxing experience.
