Monte Meu

Costal Farm Stay

Wir, Ute Gerhardt, Pädagogin und Reitlehrerin, und Walter Bofenschen, Stadtplaner, leben seit 1990 in dieser ursprünglichen Gegend an der Südwestküste Portugals, mitten im Naturpark Costa Vicentina. Alle, die in intakter Natur direkt am Meer Erholung suchen oder die traumhafte Dünenlandschaft zu Pferd entdecken wollen, laden wir ein, ihren Urlaub bei uns zu verbringen.
4 Apartments stehen für Sie zur Verfügung.

Autumn table flowers: Leucadendron from our neighbour, being grown here a lot for export. Tagetes from the garden. Simple but warm. Matching colors to the sweet patatoe dinner they were going to.

On Wednesday we had to let go of Mali. It was a long day and she tried so hard to get up. But at some point we realised she just wasn’t able. A hard decision, with lots of tears. Daughter of our black mare India. Always the first to say hi and neigh. Beautiful long legs, round belly. Morning cuddles with Diego. Brave, eager to work and learn. She would test boundaries with new people, but o so sweet once you’ve bonded. The herd has to find a new balance. And so do we.

We love to share some bits from our daily life working with the animals and in the garden. Today we share some curiosities with you. Peak inside Monte Meu on this gallery.

Autumn sun, afternoon walk. Follow the path trough the pine forest, our backyard, a moment to re-charge, to sit and listen and observe.

The sound of the ocean reminds us daily how close we are. One of our favorite moments is waking up or going to bed listening to the waves crashing on the shore.

Between gardening, painting, or running the kids around, it’s easy to think, ‘I’ll go see the ocean tomorrow’. Because one thinks and knows it will be there tomorrow also.

But while you’re staying with us, please go as often as you can! Because it’s stunning. The waves, the cliffs, different colors of stone and sky, the fog, the wind, the sun. Take it all in.

Who knew that a steamjuicer bought at 01:00 AM (after spending slightly to much time on insta looking at other people process grapes) would be such a succes!

Volunteers and guests helped us pick them, because we had so many this year. Leading to a freezer full of grapejuice.
Great to add to jams also.

Next up: Feijoas.

One last round of fresh tomatoes. They’re great as a little sweet snack during the day, or served warm for breakfast.

The temporary veg garden is coming to end and the new raised beds are ready for the next stage: filling them with organic matter.

We started planning during our ‘seed meeting’ the other day. Simultaneously getting to know each other better, through their herb, veg and flower preferences.

The best crunch you’ll hear all day.

Watermelon season is still going strong, and the farm crew definitely approves. Sharing the harvest with our five horses is one of our favorite summer routines.

They live outside full-time at Monte Meu and we love seeing them enjoy horse life out in the fields.

Our “Cuddles & Grooms” is just as therapeutic for them as it is for anyone who loves horses.
Do you have a special bond with horses, or would you like to experience it? We’d love to share that with you.

Life of a Leek!

Grown right here at Monte Meu. Pulled from the garden beds and grilled outdoors just before sunset.

Simple food, farm to table.

While we were setting the table we realised we don’t have any chargerplates.

‘What if we use figleaves?’
’One or two per plate?’
’Two’.
A quick conversation where one of us has the idea and the other makes the decision. Something Sara and I do often.

Antiques from moms, vintage lace sewn by grandma, wineglasses found when treasurehunting at a 2nd hand store and a touch of sunshine. We love mixing old and new with fresh garden energy to create tables that feel warm, welcoming and relaxed.
