About this property

Mountain Cottage with stunning spectacular views, peaceful and safe

This traditional Portuguese cottage is set on a mountain estate with breathtaking views all the way down to the south coast surrounded by native trees and plants. It has been refurbished to a high standard with three bedrooms, two bathrooms including one en suite. A well equipped kitchen with washing machine, dishwasher, fridge and separate freezer and all other convenience items. The sitting room is well equipped for six persons with internet access and television with many channels and an indoor dining table. A barbecue area for a perfect place to have lunch or dinner, with outdoor areas for eating undercover or in the sun. A secluded pool (5m x 3.5m, overall 1metre deep) ideal for cooling off on those hot summer days. Well located within 10mins of the old town of Monchique, a town where time stands still. An ideal location for that get-away holiday, whether it's soaking up the sun, hiking in the hills, cycling or simply just relaxing by the pool with a book. It is close to the Autodrome, great fr Motor GP.

Guests comments:

'What a wonderful location and the house! - everything you could wish for. We'll definitely come back, but longer next time'.

“My daughter & her family live in Monchique, so we have stayed in many cottages around, but we felt so at home here, that we will return next year for three weeks, a first for us!”

“View to die for is an understatement. We've had a fabulous week, and we will be coming back”

'It was our second visit to Portugal but our first to Monchique - and we will come back! The great view and the silence are perfect for relaxing.'

'Wow! Our first visit to Portugal and we are hooked. Waking up every morning to the view of 'the world below' is the best tonic ever. The cottage felt like home as soon as we arrived - the best nights sleep ever'.

A beautiful holiday home in a stunning location made our holiday really special and unique'.
