Discover the Beauty of the Mountain
Montalma was born out of the desire to share the tranquility and the many moods of the mountain. Our family country home is the perfect place to disconnect, rest and recharge nurtured by nature and breathtaking skyscapes. Located at Montes da Foia, it is a walk away from the highest point of the Algarve. We are surrounded by thousands of hectares of natural woodlands, moorland, eucalyptus and cork oak forests with wild, open spaces and sheltered valley bottoms. As a guest you can simply walk out of our gates and be in a world far from the noise of the city and the jostling of people. You and the wind. You and greenness. You and the sun. You and the clouds.
