Marc Lammerink
A traveller by profession: I worked in Africa, Asia and Latin America since 80's as a researchers and development worker. As a user I got to know many aspects of the hotel industry. Early 2003 I came across a beautiful eighteenth-century farming estate. It is situated near glorious Monsaraz, in Alentejo. In my opinion one of Portugal's prettiest, yet unspoiled regions. A year later as the new owner I could start to design a small boutique hotel.
Architecture and interior design has always been my passion. So I wanted to develop something really charming, based on all my good and bad experiences. Pure beauty of the building, minimalist in decoration, rich in comfort but not overdone, good attendance, fresh good quality food, friendly and personal atmosphere, privacy, tranquillity and cleanliness, beautiful garden, those are qualities I incorporated! First years of designing, recovering, planning with my than 14 years old son Ruben was a fantastic experience. Monte Saraz has been restored to its original state, offering repose and quality during your stay, provided in comfortable, separate farmhouses or in suites located in the main building.
I am quite happy: my guests find it a real oasis of serenity.

In Monte Saraz you can find tranquillity at any time of year, be it by the warmth of a good hearth or swimming in the swimming-pool shaped by the arches of an old olive oil press. Surrounded by an ancient olive grove, by vegetable plots and orchards, it hints at a scenery worthy of Paradise, designed for those who appreciate the good things in life.
