Relaxing stay near Monchique

Lovely relaxing holiday far from the madding crowd!! Gorgeous pool and views from the mountain. Region fairly untouched by tourism so not your usual shops and amenities. Car essential. Property could be more modern but really didn’t bother us we had everything we needed including lots of linens. Excellent communication and welcome from caretaker/property manager. Would definitely come back!

A piece of paradise tucked up in the hills and so peaceful with nature all around.Only draw back was a lack of a microwave oven.And access was a bit tricky but for an experienced driver no problems have driven worse roads.One word sums it up EXCELLENT.

Die Lage vom Haus ist unbeschreiblich schön. Es ist der perfekte Ort für Leute, die Ruhe und absolute Entschleunigung wünschen, bei dem Ausblick kann der TV auch aus bleiben. Wir haben nichts vermisst und kommen sicher nochmal wieder. Der Weg dahin ist etwas holprig, aber mit jedem PKW eigentlich gut machbar. Aylin, die das Haus vor Ort betreut, ist super nett und beantwortet eventuelle Fragen zeitnah. Ich war schon in einigen Ferienhäusern, aber dieses übertrifft alle um Längen, vor Allem die Lage, der Pool und der Blick ins Tal. Einfach WOW! Absolute Empfehlung.

Eine wahre Perle unter den Ferienhäusern

Einsam am Berg gelegen mit umwerfenden Blick auf Monchique und die umliegenden Berge. Ausgestattet mit allem was es für einen gelungen Urlaub braucht, sauber und sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Wir waren 2 Familien mit Kleinkindern und haben uns rundherum wohl gefühlt. Den Kindern hat es insbesondere der Pool sehr angetan! Auch die Dinge des täglichen Bedarfs sind nach wenigen Autominuten gut zu erreichen. Der letzte Weg zum Haus ist allerdings nichts für allzu schwache Nerven, mit einem normalen Auto aber machbar. Wir können das Haus guten Gewissens weiterempfehlen!

Perfection!

The photos on here just don’t do this place justice - the beauty is out of this world! The views are incredible. We ate dinner out on the terrace most evenings looking out over the mountain - paradise! I travelled with my 16, 11 & 2 year old daughters, who absolutely loved it. They spent all their time in the fabulous pool and investigating the surrounding forest area. The wildlife was so exciting - eagles flying overhead, dragonflies, lizards, geckos and a frog even jumped in the pool on the last day- they LOVED it! :) You will definitely need a car to drive up the track to the house- it’s quite steep and bumpy, as the house is tucked away in the mountain. We can’t recommend this place enough and hope to return next year for longer!

Endroit paisible pour celui qui recherche le calme et la tranquilité tout en ayant un magasin à proximité (4 km), avec une magnifique et grande piscine avec une vu splendide sur le Monchique. Belle région pour celui qui aime la mer et les montagnes. Anthony,Sylvie et leurs 3 enfants ;)

Un petit paradis !!! Isolé mais prêt de tout, charmante maison rurale pour se reposer...

vous êtes accueilli par Simon et son épouse qui sont vraiment très charmants et dévoués !!! La maison se trouve sur la hauteurs de Monchique ( 5 minutes du centre ), on y accede par une piste ( praticable avec une voiture normale en faisant doucement ) c'est ce qui en fait tout le charme... Une fois à la maison, on a l'impression que rien ni personne ne viendra troubler votre tranquilité !!! Si cela vous plait vous pourrez passer votre séjour complétement nu sans aucun soucis !!! La piscine est tres belle avec une belle vue, elle est adaptée aux jeunes enfants... La terrasse devant la maison nous réserve tous les soirs un merveilleux couché de soleil, comme dans les films !!! les chambres sont spacieuses et confortables, le salon et la salle à manger accueillants, la cuisine est fonctionnelle et bien équipée, seule la salle de bain est vraiment trop "rustique" mais très propre... Dehors on trouve tout, BBQ, transats, parasols, séchoirs, etc, etc... Je recommanderais vivement cette maison, et je suis prêt à y retourner !!!

Fijn huis op een prachtige locatie

We hebben een heel fijn verblijf gehad in dit huisje. Bij toeval hadden wij een auto gehuurd die wat hoger op de wielen stond, waardoor we gemakkelijk de hobbel weg naar het huisje konden nemen elke dag. Lage auto's zullen hier wat meer moeite mee hebben. De eerste week was het koud en konden we de openhaard, samen met de gaskachel, gebruiken om het warm te stoken. Er was genoeg hout op voorraad. Gelukkig werd het de tweede week mooi weer. We hebben heerlijk buiten gegeten en genoten van het mooie uitzicht. We hebben zelfs even kunnen genieten van het zwembad (ook al was die nog heel koud). Simon de beheerder was zo vriendelijk om op zondag avond toen het gas op was, nieuwe te komen brengen. De omgeving is prachtig en in de buurt kan je mooi wandelen. De zee is ongeveer 3 kwartier rijden, dus je rijdt niet even heen en weer. We hebben een heel fijn verblijf gehad. Dank!

We were extremly suprised to discover this beautiful and charming place

21. - 28.5.2017 Liebe Hoerders! Eine wunderschöne Woche in Eurem wunderschönen Haus geht zu Ende – leider! Nun das erste mal nach 12 Jahren, vor denen wir zu Zweit alleine hier waren, mit Kindern :-) Die 3 haben sich keinen Moment gelangweilt und ausgiebig das Haus, den Garten und vor allem den Pool genossen! Ab und zu haben wir sie auch mal vom Pool und Garten wegbekommen, um an einem der beeindruckend schönen Atlantikstrände (Praia Arrifana, Monte Clerico, Casteleiro) mit meterhohen Wellen zu fahren … Auch wenn man insbesondere mit Kindern wegen der gefährlichen Strömungen etwas Vorsicht walten lassen muss... das haben unsere Kinder aber auch schnell selbst bemerkt. Und wenn man dann noch in einem der netten Strandlokale – oder auf der Terrasse der Casa Limao – sitzt, ist der Urlaub perfekt. Tausend Dank! Wir kommen wieder – und das nicht erst in 12 Jahren :-) St., R., L., S. Und J. aus Hamburg 13. - 20.8.2016 We came here with a group of 8 french friends. We knew that the house was a bit remote but we were extremly suprised to discover this beautiful and charming place. We experiened the beautiful view and the fact of being up in the mountains. Silence! The road to the house is not that challenging and is being part of the experience, I guess! Everything is provided and fully furnished, the pool is amazing! We enjoyed playing volley ball and spending the time on the sunbeds! The area of Monchique is ideal to spend the time far from the touristic zone such as Faro or Portimao. We discovered a lot of restaurants, very local... Nice house, nice place, nice food, nice area, nice country! I., L., M., A., E., T., J. and L. from France 6. - 13. 8.2016 Nous avons passé une excellente semain dans un cache apaisant aux paysages magnifiques. Nous reviendrons trés artairement. La maison est trés agréable... Trés bon accueil de la part de locatair. J. y Les Bretons 11. bis 18.7.2016 Liebe Familie Hoerder, uns hat es aus dem „verregneten Juli Deutschland“ in ein Stückchen sonniges Paradies entführt – eine traumhafte, ruhige Welt aus besonderen Pflanzen. Als Luxus empfanden wir die Abgeschiedenheit aus dem Alltag – herrliche Ruhe. Die Einfachheit des Hauses und der Ausstattung hat uns nicht gestört – sie war Teil unseres Urlaubes. Unsere Kinder waren kaum aus dem Pool zu bekommen. Wir kommen wieder – uns hat es an nichts gemangelt – ein toller Urlaub... Familie W. aus Unna
