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.
We loved this private villa in the hills. The property was beautiful with an amazing garden and large pool. Our only regret was not having more time here.
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 Eulália warmly welcomed us and set us up with the property and town. We are looking for excuses to visit again soon.
This house is nestled up and above Monchique, with expansive mountain views allowing for dramatic observations of the weather. The property is lusciously landscaped with fruit trees, flowers everywhere, delightful scents during the spring when we were there. The house itself is immaculately renovated, clean and very cozy. What a delight to cook in a traditional Portuguese kitchen and eat outside amidst the birds and views.

Fantastic house with breathtaking views
Typical Portuguese cottage, surrounded by a beautiful and well-kept garden. Master bedroom with comfortable bed and modern bathroom. Stylish, well-equipped kitchen. Excellent internet connection - suitable for remote work. Absolutely breathtaking view of the valley and the opposite hill. We fell in love with this beautiful and relaxing place. Hosts Marie-Pierre and Pascal are remarkably friendly, helpful and kind. Immediately responded to every request for help. When we recommend the place to stay in Algarve, Quinta das Oliveiras is the number one.
SchönesHäuschen inmitten eines riesigem Terrassengrundstücks mit alten Olivenbäumen und Korkeichen. Tolle Aussicht, schöner beheizter Pool, Granatäpfel 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 gefühlt 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 gefühlt.
Le séjour était tout simplement parfait!! La maison, l’emplacement et surtout la pisicne, tout est conforme voire encore plus beau que sur les photos
Merci à Eulalia pour son accueil et sa sympathie, je recommande vivement
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 :)
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 ‘touristy’. Being able to go for walks from the doorstep into the hills around us was fantastic. Pascal and Eulália were lovely hosts and extremely helpful. Would definitely return here.
Me and my girlfriend stayed here at the end of our portgual break to wind down after being by the busier towns and coast, my only regret is that we didn’t book for longer.
The hosts couldn’t be more accommodating, fast responses to any questions I had. The villa is fully equipped with everything you may need. It really is a beautiful villa, very spacious and as for the pool…. big, clean, the views were amazing, we could have easily hung out here for two weeks! We will 100% return and recommend to anyone we know visiting Portugal.
We stayed late May24 and found the villa to be fabulous. The pictures don't do the place justice at all. The gardens and surrounding area are stunning. Mature planting with orange and lemon trees. The pool is a great size with stunning view down to Monchique. Weather was in the mid to late 20's but we still opted for the heated pool which was great. A couple of nights the temperature dropped quite quickly so would advise some hoodies etc. The villa is well equipped and spacious for a small family. There are two bedroom areas both with doubles. There is also a pull out bed in the living area. The kitchen is well propotioned and has all the essentials.wifi is ok but patchy by the pool. Outside has several eating areas with a gas bbq. The owner and agent were both welcoming and responsive. There are a suprising amount of restaurants locally with at least 4 in walking distance (age depending). The town is a short drive and has a large supermarket and a limited amount of bars/restaurants and shops.A magical place for a relaxing week.
Some constructive critique is that the furnishings and linen could do with being replaced. Also a welcome pack with guide on how things work at the villa would have been welcomed. Mosquitos are prominent so would advise taking or buying solutions.
A hire car is essential if you want to see any of the surrounding area. Monchique itself is walkable but wouldn't advise with shopping etc.
Overall we couldn't fault it and hope to return in the future.
Unser Aufenthalt war perfekt! Haben sehr kurzfristig gebucht und trotzdem hat alles geklappt. Die Vermieter waren sehr freundlich und aufmerksam und haben wirklich an alles gedacht. Als wir abends ankamen, brannte schon ein Feuer im Ofen und auch für unsere Kleine war alles vorbereitet. Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man so braucht, lediglich das WLan ist etwas schwach. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig, da etwas außerhalb am Berg, aber ein toller Startpunkt für Ausflüge und auch ein sehr leckeres Restaurant ist fußläufig (3 Minuten) erreichbar. Was man mit Kleinkindern vielleicht noch wissen sollte, im Haus selbst gibt es von Raum zu Raum einzelne Stufen.
Wir waren wirklich begeistert, sowohl vom Haus als auch von den Gastgebern!
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!
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 für us in December. If you want to hide from tourist places at the south coast, that´s a nice compromise in the mountains.
Despite our late arrival (after midnight), we were welcomed by the property manager Eulália, 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.
