This is such a lovely villa in a quiet, beautiful part of Portugal. If you're looking for sleek and modern this won't be for you but if you're looking for rustic charm then you've come to the right place. The villa is quirky and spotlessly clean with a beautiful deep pool and endless fruit-filled gardens. The villa has everything you need and Eulalila was so very helpful. Both coasts are within easy reach by car and there are beautiful walks nearby. We would definitely come back.

The villa was snuggled in the woodland..soo peaceful, private and calm but close to supermarket and restaurants for all you need. Car is essential really due to access and busy road down to Monchique, but everything only a short drive away.Property full of character and traditional features...a real taste of Portugal with everything you need for a self catering hols. Pool is huge and deep so perfect for swimming. We arrived in a heatwave, so found ourselves living next to it to keep cool.Thanks for a lovely stay.

Beautiful private estate in Monchique

Nice traditional place on a large estate. Room for 2 couples had we known how spacious it was. Owners are very nice and helpful people and they have engaged a fantastic local property manager in the event that they are out of the country during a rental.

Unique Getaway

Charming and unique property minutes above Monchique. We had a lovely week here and enjoyed all aspects of this property. Eastern exposure gets the morning sun with shade splashing across the outside living areas by mid-afternoon. Walking distance to several excellent restaurants. Fabulous and highly recommended!

Lovely break and villa

Lovely villa with magnificent pool (deep) not ideal for younger children but great for swimming. Sauna added bonus and rooms tastefully decorated. Pascal and Eulalia hosted very discreetly but where there when needed. Thanks all for a wonderful visit. Restaurant at top of garden excellent, try the wild boar local delicacy.
