“My stay at Monte Rosa was beautiful. The garden and the whole surrounding is amazing. It’s quiet and they serve good breakfast, very friendly. I enjoyed it very much and I will definitely come back.”

Monte Rosa is a pearl and a little oasis in the crackling dry hills of Western Argarve. The room are simple and the bed super comfy – a dreamy garden all around and sparkling pool – it has been put together with much love and care and I was thrilled to be there. The staff are utterly wonderful , easy, kind, hospitable and thoughtful – they made me feel so welcome.

Monte Rosa es a really special and nice place; the pool and all the area are great, everything is cared but relaxed. Our room was delicious, all that we need in a well designed and decorated interior, and the open kitchen was cosy and practical. The staff is really kind and we really hope to come back soon. THANKS and best regards.

The room was clean, cozy and confortable. Monte Rosa is a nice place a few minutes from Lagos. Jim is a great host, we took dinner and breakfast and we loved both. I recommend this place for every couple or family.

Lisbon, September 2019
Sparkling clean, very spacious apartment/room at an amazing location… way quieter than Bairro Alto, yet minutes walk from that neighborhood. Walking distance to Time Out market, multiple other restaurants, cafes, bakeries, the river etc. Really great location! Arianne was a great host, punctual, very responsive and accommodating. I enjoyed meeting her and staying in her lovely home. I am sure you will too.
Lisbon, September 2019
Arianne is a great hostess and very hospitable. She has a very nice apartment located in a quiet area, but close to Barrio Alto, with everything you need to rest from a long day of strolling around the beautiful city of Lisbon. Definitely a city trip we will remember!

Lovely place, amazing staff – I want to live here
Lisbon, August 2019
We had a wonderful stay at Arianne’s beautiful apartment in Estrela. You can see the assembly from the living room window and it is a good distance away from the centre of Lisbon for some quietness. The beds were so comfortable and it is easy to fall in love with the decorative ceilings. The apartment is very close to Time Out Market and cafés. This is the best place I’ve stayed in Lisbon this far and it is super good quality for the price.

Thank you so much for a lovely stay in this special place. The food was yummy! Thankyou. I loved the home grown tomatos and strawberries. Such a great space for yoga too.

We found all things, like Arianne‘s discription. If you search a wonderful place to start your Lisboa-Adventure, here it is. With the Buslines 706 and 727 in front of the house, it’s easy to start. The Tram 28 starts few minutes away. It was our first visit in Lisboa, but we‘ll come back.

Thank’s to everyone of the Monte Rosa team (including Boris and Floris and the chickens). I have had a wonderful time here with you in Sandra’s paradise! Good luck with everything and hope we’ll meet again.

Dear Arianne, thank you very much for your kind hospitality. I found your apartment very convenient. I was visiting ISEG Business School for a conference and I believe that among all 150 participants I stayed the closest to the venue. I am only sorry that I could not stay longer. To other guests, I recommend to visit also places out of Lisbon, such as palace and gardens of Queluz, Cabo da Roca – a cape which forms the western most continental Europe, and Cascais and Estoril. Farewell and goodbye.

From a Soulcollage retreat of 5 faces of the Wild Woman this has been exactly the right place at the right time! I have fal like part of a loving and slightly dys-functional family from the start. My group of Soulcollage is now a tribe I will keep with me forever! Fiona, Gerry, Jacqueline and the gentle soft Sandra; love you all.

Thank you very much Arianne

I love this place. So peaceful. So many little corners to relax in. I love the hummocks in the trees and the round house for singing. Eating outdoors is a real treat and the food is delicious.
I would love to come back again.
