"Enjoyed the spa ❤️"

"We stayed for 19 days in March 2025. The villa is very charming-we loved the sun room and used the log burner as it was March and a bit chilly. We used the sauna and spa bathtub a lot. We spent almost all of our indoor time in the sun room. Great sunrises! Kitchen is great-had everything we needed to cook all our meals. The grounds are so beautiful. It is like being in a botanical garden-citrus trees, flowers, herbs, olive trees, palm trees. The pool area was great. Again, being March, the weather only got warm enough to swim the end of March. Views are out of this world. The owners, Pascal & Marie live on the property and were very helpful with some electrical-storm related issues. Marie gave us some oranges that she picked from the property and some home made olive oil. They have a very friendly and quiet dog. We also liked how close the Via Algarviana trail is to the villa. We hiked Foia 3 times. There is a restaurant next to the villa and from that parking lot there is a path that leads into the centre of Monchique to explore by foot rather than driving into town. Overall, it was a fantastic stay! "

"Property was exactly as described. Hostess couldnt have been more helpful. Spent 2 nights discovering Monchique, great memories. Place was spotless."

" If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat in nature with all the comforts of a luxury home, this villa in the Monchique mountains is the perfect choice. It’s a place where you can truly unwind, create lasting memories with your family, and experience the beauty of the Algarve in its most serene form. We can’t wait to return!"

"Water heating system is very inconsistent--temperature fluctuates madly when you shower. Also need some more supplies--just a few extra toilet papers would be appreciated. The apartment is very nice and the view is incredible--worth the three flights of stairs! Monchique is a wonderful little village. "

"Helpful and accommodating. Only flaw was the mini fridge did not work. It was not such a big deal and we did not report it"
