Monte Bagão

This place was a huge disappointment. The photos and description are misleading: the so-called “Turismo Rural” has nothing in common with the charming agriturismi we expected. The rooms are extremely bare, more like cells than guest rooms. No TV, no amenities, nothing to make your stay pleasant. Check-in was careless and rushed – basically just a door opened and left at that. The shared kitchen was constantly occupied by a large group of families and left dirty, making it unusable. Reaching the property is another problem: you need to drive 2 km on a rough dirt road that puts your car tires at serious risk. We later discovered in reviews that some travelers actually had punctures because of it. As for the “view,” it is not scenic hills but rather an antenna and a water tank. At night, barking dogs disturb your sleep. There wasn’t even a clothes rack to dry wet beach towels, which is the bare minimum in a seaside location. Overall, this is not only uncomfortable and poorly managed, but also bad value for money. We would not recommend it.

Cozy room with great views and nice shared area for cooking. Tip: approach from the east not the west. The road on the west side has some pretty terrifying holes in it that are scary for cars (side of the road in places is collapsed). East direction is bumpy but manageable with seemingly no craters.

Very quiet. Good value for your money.
