The Penedo Monteiro Viewpoint Garden is located in the Quinta do Brejo area, in the heart of Castelo de Vide. Its position, strategically situated on the Ring Road, offers a privileged perspective over the surroundings, establishing it as an accessible observation point for those exploring the village.
From this viewpoint, the gaze encompasses an admirable landscape. It is possible to contemplate the vast expanse of the Serra de S. Paulo, rising on the horizon, and the breadth of the fields surrounding the village of Castelo de Vide. The view extends over the plains, reaching, on days of good visibility, the bordering lands of Spain, offering a scenic tableau that blends rural nature with the grandeur of the Alentejo landscape.
This place offers a pleasant environment, inviting relaxation. Beyond its function as a viewpoint, it incorporates a well-maintained garden, with landscaped areas that provide a relaxing stroll. The ensemble is enriched by decorative elements such as a staircase that invites exploration of its levels, a fountain, and a sundial, which punctuate the space with a touch of uniqueness. For those seeking a more prolonged moment of pause, the garden also features a picnic-equipped area, allowing full enjoyment of the serene environment.
