Notes on accommodation
Prices include full linens and towels (beach towels not included), pool cleaning, gardener and maid service. In 1850, Monte das Uvas was a self-sufficient agricultural estate and the Guest House/Cottage was its cookhouse. It has been modified into a 2 bedroom, 2 bath guest house, with traditional eucalyptus beam and bamboo ceilings throughout. It is private and self-contained within its own walls and gates. The Main House at Monte das Uvas is a typical manor farm house of its period. Dug into the slope of the hill, it has been a standing structure of stones, boulders and earth for over 150 years. Supporting walls are one meter thick, providing cool insulation in the summer. Tastefully restored, there is a traditional eucalyptus beam and bamboo ceiling in the living/dining area of the house. No pets in either house. Smoking outdoors please.
