Monte do Vale Porquinhas comprises a valley and several hills, and is situated
    at the foot of the Serra do Cercal in the West of the Alentejo Baixo district.
    It is close to the typically Portuguese seaside town of Vila Nova de Milfontes,
    where the river Mira flows into the Atlantic Ocean. 

    Despite a difference in altitude of 75 meters (including a waterfall of 32 meters,
    which runs dry most of the time) the estate is mainly rolling countryside, and is
    surrounded by the hills of the serra. The vegetation consists of various species
    of trees, including many cork oaks, a wealth of herbs and – especially in March
    and April - a wide variety of wildflowers.

    It is an excellent area for guests looking for peace and quiet, hikers and lovers
    of nature, but mountain bikers, off-road drivers and beach fans will also find
    everything that they are looking for.
    There are plenty of places to enjoy the sun or sit in the shade, for the children
    there is space enough to play and there is always the swimming pool of course.

    To enjoy all this you follow the road, which becomes a gravel path for the last
    five kilometers, where you may encounter a herd of sheep or a flock of goat. At
    the end of this road you will be welcomed by the Dutch owners.
