CASAS MONTE CLERIGO consists of four separate houses on four individual building lots. In designing this project, the focus was primarily on working with the unique setting right next to the nature reserve and finding a balance between privacy and openness to the outside.
ALGARVE
The Urbanização do Espartal is one of the very few communities located within the Western Algarve nature reserve and sought-after for its proximity to two of the most beautiful beaches of the Costa Vicentina: Praia Monte Clerigo and Praia da Amoreira. Both beaches are in walking distance and connected via a trail along the cliffs. You will not find many nightclubs, hotels or shoppingmalls here, but tranquility, nature, a wonderful local community with international flair, and great little restaurants where you can enjoy the catch of the day fresh from the ocean.

The small town of Aljezur marked by its traditional white houses, lovely old town and the remains of a Moorish castle is a few minutes drive by car. There you will find supermarkets, medical services, cafes, stores and a weekly farmers market. A sought-after international school can be reached in about 15 minutes. Due to the growing popularity of the West Algarve (by tourists and digital nomads alike) and the lack of hotels in the area, the houses are also a perfect location for vacation or short-term rentals.

“Once you travelled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey.”
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
