About us

Welcome to Casas da Capela do Monte, one of the most unique and beautifully restored hamlets in the Algarve, located in the peaceful countryside of Monte da Charneca, near the village of Barão de São João, Lagos. Just 10 minutes from Praia da Luz and 15 minutes from Lagos, this historic site offers an authentic retreat in a region that enjoys an average of 300 days of sunshine per year.At the heart of the property is the Capela do Monte (Hillside Chapel), a remarkable chapel designed by the world-renowned Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza Vieira. This chapel serves as the focal point of a larger, ongoing project to restore the remaining cottages, introduce additional housing, and establish a restaurant and sports facilities, all while preserving the hamlet’s rich history and character.

A Restored Hamlet with Deep Roots

Once a small 19th-century farming community, Monte da Charneca, like many villages in the Algarve, was abandoned over time. In the past 40 years, the current owners—originally from Switzerland and the United States—have been carefully restoring the hamlet in collaboration with a local heritage architect, balancing tradition with modern comfort. Today they reside in two of the cottages, while four beautifully renovated houses are available for holiday rentals, each named after a traditional local tree.Whether in the warmth of summer or the mild Algarve winter, guests are invited to experience these charming cottages, which maintain the character of a traditional Portuguese village while offering modern comfort

A Sustainable and Peaceful Retreat

Set within 20 hectares of pristine land, the hamlet is a haven of tranquillity, away from the crowded tourist resorts. Guests wake to the sound of birdsong, enjoy breathtaking sunsets, and gaze at a star-filled sky unspoiled by light pollution. The landscaped gardens are filled with native flowers and plants, while an orchard of 60 citrus and fruit trees offers seasonal delights. The land is also home to hundreds of almond, fig, carob, and olive trees.Casas da Capela do Monte is committed to environmental sustainability. The property is fully self-sufficient in water and electricity, relying exclusively on renewable energy.The water comes from a 90-meter-deep borehole, with a natural filtration system providing clean drinking water directly from the taps.A photovoltaic solar facility generates approximately 50,000 kWh per year, covering all energy needs and returning excess power to the public grid.An above-ground water cistern serves as a natural swimming pool, preserving the region’s traditional irrigation methods.

An Unforgettable Experience

Guests staying at Casas da Capela do Monte enjoy privacy, peace, and proximity to nature, with easy access to the Algarve’s stunning coastline, historic towns, and cultural sites. A car is recommended, as public transportation is limited to the nearby village.The property also features covered parking for 13 cars, three restored threshing grounds, and two working bread ovens.More than just a place to stay, Casas da Capela do Monte is a living piece of Portuguese heritage—a rare and authentic escape for those seeking a deeper connection to the Algarve’s history, nature, and tradition.

A Masterpiece by Álvaro Siza

Located on the top of a hill overlooking the original hamlet of Monte da Charneca stands a structure of rare simplicity and profound architectural significance: the Capela do Monte.Designed by Álvaro Siza Vieira, Portugal’s most celebrated contemporary architect and the first Portuguese recipient of the Pritzker Prize, the chapel is a striking yet harmonious addition to the landscape, blending seamlessly with the surrounding natural environment.Inaugurated in March 2018, this small but extraordinary chapel is Siza’s first completed project in the Algarve. The Capela do Monte, translated as Hillside Chapel, is not just a place of worship and prayer but a study in purity, materiality, and spatial composition, embodying the essence of Siza’s architectural philosophy.Siza himself has spoken about the beauty of the site and the pleasure he found in designing a “pure architectural project,” free of constraints.

A Chapel Rooted in Tradition and Simplicity

The chapel emerges from the landscape with a minimalist form that integrates perfectly in the rural setting. Built on private land and used for contemplation and prayer, the chapel is a non-denominational Christian space. But its architecture speaks to a broader audience those who appreciate the delicate balance between tradition and modernity. It demonstrates Siza’s ability to extract the essence of a place and craft an experience that is at once sacred, intimate, and deeply human.

A Study in Materials and Harmony

One of the defining characteristics of the chapel is its choice of materials. The structure sits on the highest point of the property and is devoid of electricity, heating, or running water. So it relies on natural ventilation, insulation, and carefully chosen materials to regulate temperature, keeping the space cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The structure is made of insulated bricks which ensures thermal comfort, while the roof contains soil that has filled in with vegetation to further increase insulation.Siza selected a rose-beige stucco finish, which reflects the soft, earthy tones of the Algarve’s landscape. The structure is deliberately unembellished, with clean lines and a restrained aesthetic. Measuring just 10.34 x 6.34 meters (34 x 21 feet), the chapel has one single story.The building is not only sustainable but also deeply connected to the vernacular architecture of rural Portugal.

Sacred Spaces and Objects

The interior of the chapel is an exercise in peace and tranquillity. A single, large window made of two panes allows in the daylight while encouraging air circulation. The flooring is made of limestone sourced from around Portugal.The altar, cross, benches, and chairs were all custom-designed by Siza and crafted by Serafim Pereira Simões Sucessores, a renowned Porto-based carpentry firm. In the entry chamber, murals depicting scenes from the life of Jesus, drawn by Siza, have been transformed into hand-painted tile panels by the historic Portuguese tile company Viúva Lamego.Another tile panel contains a verse from the Bible from the prophet Isaiah (56:7) that was the inspiration for the chapel, written in Siza’s hand: “I will bring them to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer.”A churchyard (adro) extends the experience into the landscape, providing a meditative space for reflection. This courtyard, approximately the same size as the chapel itself, enhances the sense of openness and continuity between the built environment and the natural surroundings.

A House of Prayer

Since its completion, the chapel has attracted architects, artists and visitors from around the world who come to experience Siza’s work firsthand. However, the building is first and foremost a house of prayer, where visitors come to experience the presence of the divine, to reflect and to pray.The chapel is open by reservation only, ensuring that visits remain an intimate and contemplative experience.

Location

The Algarve is far more than just a summer destination. With its mild climate, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultural heritage this region of southern Portugal offers visitors a year-round experience unlike any other. Boasting over 300 days of sunshine per year, the Algarve is famous for its golden beaches, dramatic cliffs, charming villages, and historic towns—making it one of the most attractive and sought-after regions in Portugal.While the eastern Algarve is known for its lagoon landscapes and flat, sandy shores the western Algarve (Barlavento) is characterized by rugged coastal cliffs, hidden coves, and a wilder, more dramatic terrain.This is where you will find Casas da Capela do Monte, nestled in the peaceful countryside of Monte da Charneca, 1.5 Kilometers from the village of Barão de São João and just a short drive from the vibrant coastal city of Lagos.

Lagos: A City of Maritime Heritage and Natural Wonders

Located 15 minutes from Casas da Capela do Monte, Lagos is one of the most historic and visually striking cities in Portugal. With a history spanning over 2,000 years, it played a central role in the Portuguese Age of Discovery. This was where Prince Henry the Navigator lived and where the famous caravel ships were built—vessels that would take Portuguese explorers across the globe. Today, visitors can walk along the old city walls, visit the Forte da Ponta da Bandeira, or explore the slave market museum, one of the first of its kind in Europe.Beyond its history, Lagos is celebrated for its stunning coastline, including the world-famous Ponta da Piedade, where golden cliffs rise above crystal-clear waters, forming arches, sea caves, and secluded beaches. The city is also home to some of the Algarve’s most spectacular beaches, such as Praia Dona Ana, Praia do Camilo and Meia Praia, all offering golden sands and turquoise waters perfect for swimming, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding.

Silves, Sagres and the Southwestern Algarve

A short drive inland leads to Silves, the former Moorish capital of the Algarve, known for its well-preserved red sandstone castle that dominates the town’s skyline. With its charming streets, whitewashed houses and orange groves, Silves is a perfect place to step back in time and enjoy the region’s medieval past.To the west, Sagres marks the southwesternmost point of Portugal. Known as the "end of the world" in medieval times, Sagres was where Prince Henry the Navigator established his legendary naval school. The Fortress of Sagres, perched high above the Atlantic, offers panoramic ocean views while Cabo de São Vicente, the southwesterly tip of mainland Europe, is home to a dramatic lighthouse and breathtaking cliffs that stand 75 meters above the sea.
