In 1850 Monte das Uvas was a self-sufficient agricultural estate and
the Guest House/Cottage was its cookhouse. It has been modified into a
2 bedroom, 2 bath guest house, with traditional eucalpytus beam and
bamboo ceilings throughout. It is private and self-contained within
its own walls and gates.
The main house at Monte das Uvas is a typical manor farm house of its
period. Dug into the slope of the hill, it has been a standing
structure of stones, boulders and earth for over 150 years. Supporting
walls are one meter thick, providing cool insulation in the summer.
Tastefully restored, there is a traditional eucalyptus beam and bamboo
ceiling in the living/dining area of the house.
No pets in either house.
Outside
The Cottage has a large south facing patio with lemon trees and a view
to the sea. Plunge pool, barbecue, four sunbeds, outdoor dining tables
and chairs.
The Main House has a bricked terrace roof for private sunbathing. At

There is a cobblestone patio next to the pool. Privacy gates separate
