In Portugal, Algarve, large villa in Monchique, swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi

Great country house with lots of charm and character, located in a unique area, secluded and quiet, with a beautiful view over the ocean and mountains, a few minutes walk away from the town centre.
It boasts:
On the ground floor: living area, fireplace, large kitchen, American-style bar, 1 bedroom (2 single beds) with en-suite shower room including 1 toilet.
Upstairs: 2 double bedrooms with 2 en-suite bathrooms (including 1 with Jacuzzi bathtub) and 2 toilets, a sauna.

The villa and its pool are nestled in a wooded park where all the tree and shrub species of the Algarve grow.
In its garden, you will find rare rose bushes, agave and fruit trees.
At 460 m altitude, at a turn in a footpath the city of Monchique offers the spectacle of the sea, the freshness of crystal clear water crashing against the rocks, the orchards and terraced vegatable crops.

Fantastic
Lovely property, well situated just outside Montchique. Very well appointed and comfortable. Delightful and helpful hosts. The only downside is that the third bedroom is in a tiny room with two single beds. Not only claustrophobic and would be intolerable, given it has not a/c, in summer temperatures.

Idyllic private getaway in the mountains
A beautiful property, very well equipped and an absolute tranquil setting with everything you could need within a 5 minute drive. Very private and remote off the tourist track a slice of heaven. Local restaurants are excellent too.

Traditional Portuguese House
The property is lovely, with gardens to explore and a great pool. Unfortunately we were there during a few weeks of bad weather. I would have gone later in the year to get more sun and warmth. Great hiking trails nearby, but not much to do in the village — so go to relax.

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.

Short summer stay
My wife and I arranged to stay for two night but with a early check in on the first day. So we had 2.5 glorious days in the property. We spent most of that time in or by the pool and around the bbq but loved it!! Would go back with friends and there is plenty of room

Monchique Getaway
Loved the laidback position of the villa. Great views and relaxing. Outside steps need handrail and description should make it clear that one of the bedrooms has separate access and no internal link to rest of prooerty- maybe an issue for families with younger children.

Magnificent Mountain Villa
Pascal and Marie are very attentive and lovely hosts. We were greeted and guided to the house by Eulalia (the sweet and informative house manager). The house is fantastic, the sauna and the pool got a lot of use. The kitchen is well equipped. The house is located in the scenic mountain region of Monchique, a 10 minute walk to town down the garden trail. The the gardens are lush and we had a fantastic time exploring the region. We would highly recommend this beautiful place.

A Unique Experience
Outstanding property, perfect for a restful 15 days which was exactly what we were seeking. The pool and sauna are very private and we enjoyed daily. It’s a week equipped Villa with the added bonus of being within walking distance of two excellent restaurants. The orange and grapefruit trees provided us with an excellent breakfast each morning. The view from the property is remarkable. We’re already planning our next visit. Thank you Pasquale and Eulalia.

Wonderful week
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was bigger than expected with several different spaces to enjoy, depending on the time of day, and all with great views. Both Eulalia and Pascal were very welcoming and helpful. We planned to do quite alot of walking during our stay and found plenty of great walks nearby. (For those interested we would recommend viaalgarviana.org). We also like to cook and found plenty of utensils to use in the kitchen. There are also some great restaurants in walking distance, we really enjoyed Luar da Foia (reservation needed).

Lovely villa in beautiful gardens with amazing views
Stunning views, beautiful pool (heated and open in February) and well-equipped villa. Relaxing, homey feel to the villa (rather than the showhome feel you often get) and cosy with the fireplace in the living room. The sauna was a nice extra. We did the walk down to and up from the village centre quite a lot and it was fine for us averagely fit adults (aged 23-61), took 15-20mins each way. Location is fantastic - distant view to the sea from the villa, even better views from the top of the mountains (Foia and Picota). We visited Sagres and Praia da Rocha on the coast, and managed a couple of dips in the sea (not cold compared to the UK sea). We loved getting all the fresh citrus fruit from the garden.

Awesome Accommodations and Gardens
We found the property exactly as advertised and perfect for our family of 7 (grandparents, daughter, her spouse and 3 children ages 3 to 8). The separate accommodations for Grandma and Grandpa worked out nicely allowing a space to occasionally "chill" and a break from the high activity of the young ones. Furnishings were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the gardens with fresh fruit trees and all types of flora were a delight for all ages. It was especially convenient to have both a washer and dryer available with our children who go through clothes quickly. The option of using the beautifully enclosed sunroom or the open patio to take in the view on cool nights and warm mornings/afternoons was a big plus. The property is convenient by car to the town of Monchique for shopping and nice restaurants are just a short walk away through the gardens. Lastly, the grandkids welcomed the opportunity to play in the heated pool as a break from touring the Algarve sites. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who enjoys being away from the hub bub of tourism. The owner and property manager couldn't have been more pleasant to work with and so easy to communicate with.
