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.
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
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.
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.
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 Eulália 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 property is lovely. Spotlessly clean, well-equipped kitchen, large pool. Gardens nicely landscaped and has a couple of orange trees. Great views. Quiet- only birds and the occasional dog from across the valley. We were warmly welcomed by Eulalia, who can show you the shortcut into town and has good tips for places to eat, good beaches, etc. Despite feeling like you’re in the middle of nowhere, town is a 15 minute walk or a short drive, and beaches west and south are 45 minutes to an hour away. Our regret is that we only stayed a week.
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 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.
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this villa in Monchique, Portugal. The location is truly stunning – perched on top of the mountain with breathtaking views in every direction. It felt so peaceful, yet it was only around 40 minutes to reach anywhere we wanted to go.The villa itself was beautiful, spotless, and very well maintained. The grounds were just as impressive – perfectly kept, and a pleasure to wander around. Eulalia, the villa manager, was incredibly welcoming and helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable.The highlight for us was definitely the pool. It was large, crystal clear, and wonderfully maintained – we didn’t even need it heated in August. Relaxing by the pool while soaking in those views was unforgettable.The kitchen was also extremely well-equipped, making cooking at the villa a breeze. Overall, this villa exceeded our expectations in every way – we can’t recommend it highly enough and would love to return!
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Monchique. Das Haus liegt sehr schön, die Natur ist eindrucksvoll und der Pool herausragend. In den heißen Nächten war es ausreichend kühl, um gut zu schlafen. Die Kommunikation und das Einchecken liefen problemlos.Hier und da merkt man dem Gebäude und der Ausstattung das Alter an, kleinere Reparaturen und der Austauch von altem Gerät wären hier wünschenswert. Es war aber nichts, was unseren Urlaub nachhaltig beeinträchtigt hat. Wir haben die Zeit genossen und uns wunderbar erholt.
Un accueil très chaleureux de la part D ‘EULALIA nous a fait découvrir la maison son jardin et lla magnifique piscine..les paysages sont superbes ,la ville de Monchique et très joli et les gens très accueillant.Sans parler de la gastronomie où on s’est régalé, c’est un endroit très reposant au calme et très vivifiant..très triste de repartir, on serait bien resté un peu plus longtemps tellement c’est agréable.
A piscina é maravilhosa e tem uma vista deslumbrante. Excelente espaço para quem procura sossego e privacidade ( não tive essa sorte pois durante dois dias estiveram a tirar a cortiça dos sobreiros e um final de tarde a fazerem a manutenção da piscina), considero a falta de uma mala de primeiros socorros devia ser obrigatório, necessitei para tratar um corte e não tinha . Deixo a sugestão de terem atenção ao pó por detrás da cama e a decoração do tapete por cima também ser visto pois se não for limpo é um foco de acaros...
