We enjoyed a lovely week at the villa which was not long enough! Our plan pre-holiday was to go into Monchique town regularly to eat and explore but once we arrived we didn’t want to leave!! The villa is large and spacious and the views are wonderful however the plants around the swimming pool were in need of cutting back as they were very overgrown and trailing into the water.Eulália met us on arrival and was great and extremely helpful with many suggestions. Hopefully we will return soon.

Paradise

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!

Lovely villa with character. Large shared living space. Rooms large - twin on ground floor 2 en suite rooms one almost a mezzanine and one accessed through a separate door outside the building. We didn’t try the sauna or pool as it was February. Kitchen has everything to cater for a large group with a big dining table.Log burner was fantastic.Great location halfway up the valley side above Monchique.

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.

Really lovely stay

Pascal's villa is a great place to spend a week. There was space for everyone and a really nice sheltered place to spend evenings outside while the kids were in bed. One of the double bedrooms is accessed from a door outside the house so worth considering for families, but it didn't bother us - in fact we had more peace and quiet for it! The pool is amazing - huge and deep enough for diving. All in all we had a lovely time. Thank you!

A perfect holiday

A great place to stay, lovely location in the mountains and a amazing villa with everything you needed. Great pool and house surrounded by nature. The host were very helpful and friendly. The local town Monchique was very nice with a few good restaurants our favourite was Velochique. We went when there was a festival on which was great to see all the locals out. The town also had a great Lido for the kids costing 1Euro each. Food and drink was also very cheep. The villa was a perfect place to explore the rest of the algarve. A big thank you, we miss it already

Wonderful stay in Monchique

My wife and I had a wonderful stay in Monchique. Pascal and Eulália were both lovely and very helpful. The villa has everything you’d want. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the pool is a real blessing after a hot day exploring. Several nice restaurants within walking distance, the town is nice to explore with some nice bars, and the town festival on our last night was great fun. It wouldn’t be suitable for those with mobility issues due to the steps, but for everyone else, it’s great! Thank you for having us!

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.
