A lovely authentic cottage in pretty gardens. A gem to find a rural property within walking distance of good restaurants. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Useful to know... If you arrive after 9pm, all the supermarkets/shops are closed, so get the basics you need or want for the night and first thing in the morning, such as water/coffee/milk before you leave the airport. The pool is a great size with lovely views. The Monchique area is delightful. A lovely holiday.
We loved our stay at this property! Lovely helpful host and such a beautiful authentic area to stay! The house and the pool were better than the pictures :)
This is the best place to stay in Portugal. The home has everything you need with a wonderful view of the valley and the sea. The host is most accommodating and helpful. We truly intend to return.
Perfect for a quiet holiday with choice of local restaurants and lovely walks.
This is such a lovely place. Peaceful and relaxing with a great pool and fabulous mature but well kept garden. The house has everything you need and is spotlessly clean and larger than the pictures suggest. Several of the local restaurants are just a walk away and the town has a relaxed vibe and is certainly not âtouristyâ. Being able to go for walks from the doorstep into the hills around us was fantastic. Pascal and EulĂĄlia were lovely hosts and extremely helpful. Would definitely return here.
Lovely peaceful villa surrounded by beautiful countryside. very comfortable, well equipped and tastefully furnished.
We loved our stay here and enjoyed explorin and walking in the surrounding area.
the pool is fantastic and wonderful to come back to and cool off after a good walk.
thank you
A very nice guesthouse near Monchique and very quiet.
Also very good for the winter saison (fireplace!) Big garden area with orange trees. Big pool, unfortunatly too cold fĂŒr us in December. If you want to hide from tourist places at the south coast, thatÂŽs a nice compromise in the mountains.
We needed a quiet recharging holiday and it was fantastic! Pascal was very responsive, the host was very attentive and the property was exceptional. Very snug in winter and we enjoyed lots of fires and cooking together. We will definitely be back! Thank you
Just concluded 7 nights at your property and absolutely loved it. The property provided all the lovely comforts of home along with a beautiful pool and landscaping that excites us daily. We felt spoiled with all the space and privacy. Monchique is such a charming town isolated town yet 30 minutes away from the action of Portimao and Lagos. Our hostess EulĂĄlia warmly welcomed us and set us up with the property and town. We are looking for excuses to visit again soon.
Delightful Month in the Most Lovely Part of the Algarve!
We had the pleasure of staying more than a month at this charming villa! Aside from the very pleasing design, this comfortable and well equipped house (there are actually 3 separate sleeping areas ), we loved having a working fireplace, and a well-fenced garden for our little dog. The garden is gorgeous with large citrus trees (help yourself!), lush flowering plants and plenty of outdoor places to sit. For some the large swimming pool might be the focus ~ it's very inviting ~ unfortunately the weather did not permit us to use it. We definitely appreciated meeting our exceptional hosts Pascal and Marie, and Eulalia (whose help was enormously valuable to us). Rent with confidence ~ you're going to LOVE this place!
This is a quirky house with lots of personality.
Beautifully decorated, cozy and comfortable. The bright sunny kitchen is well out-fitted with all the conveniences of home. Direct access to the patio dining area was a bonus! Livingroom, dining room, kitchen and bathroom are all quite large. The bedroom is small but more than adequate.
Outdoors, the gardens, pool, sitting areas (many), and the surrounding property are sublime. It is the perfect place to relax. We really enjoyed picking fruit right from the tree. Fresh oranges for breakfast are a real treat!
The property is situated in a perfect location. Easy walking distance to Monchique (1km)
Several nice walking trails right from the property.
Fabulous views with not a neighbor in sight.
Several good restaurants located within a 5-10min walk.
We'd like to thank, both the property manager and the owner for making our stay PERFECT! I really hope that we can come back for another visit sometime soon!
Despite our late arrival (after midnight), we were welcomed by the property manager EulĂĄlia, who met us at the local supermarket and shown us the way to the villa and gave us a thorough guide to the property. The villa itself was lovely with everything you need for your stay. The surrounding garden was beautiful with stunning views of the valley below and neighbouring hillsides. I can imagine the private pool being an absolute godsend in the summer months, but could have been a little warmer for our autumn visit (I myself swam in it most days - took a couple of minutes to get used to the cool water - very refreshing all the same). The log burner was great to have for the evening time and there's an unlimited amount of wood available, supplied by the owner. to the location and the terrain, hiring a car an absolute necessity when staying at this villa. Monchique is a five minute journey and the nearby towns + the south and west coastlines are relatively closeby, no longer than an hour's drive. We even drove to and from Lisbon for a day trip, but I'd recommend using the A22 and A2 toll roads rather than the road from Monchique leading in a north easterly direction (very winding- so not good for travel sickness). Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend staying in this villa.
Heel goed, lekker rustig, mooi zwembad, echt in de natuur. Leila heeft binnen 10 minuten opgepikt op de afgesproken plaats. Ronsleiding door het huis met waar nodig was uitleg. We hebben haar 2 keer nodig gehad en stond binnen 5 minuten paraat en heeft de problemen opgelost. Chapeau. Niets anders dan geweldig.
SchönesHĂ€uschen inmitten eines riesigem TerrassengrundstĂŒcks mit alten OlivenbĂ€umen und Korkeichen. Tolle Aussicht, schöner beheizter Pool, GranatĂ€pfel frisch vom Baum⊠Ausstattung war auch super, alles da bis auf scharfe Messer⊠tolle Lage, direkt am Ortsrand aber trotzdem in der Natur, sogar Meerblick vom Garten aus.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt und sind etwas traurig dass die Zeit dort vorbei ist.
Sehr schönes Haus in toller ruhiger Lage. Der Pool ist einfach wunderbar. Es ist alles vorhanden was man braucht. Toller angelegter Garten. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt.
