"Muito bom É para voltar"

"All was good - rooms need a little paint touch up"

"Comfortable cozy home in the peaceful hills above Monchique. Beautiful sunrises. Cooked most of our meals at the villa, well equipped kitchen. Easy, friendly communication with Pascal and Eulalia. "

"Perfect!"

"We loved our stay here. Our family of 5 visited in the heat of August and made great use of the local pool and some smaller ones in surrounding villages. We loved wandering through the old passages and stairways, the town is just so full of character! Air conditioning was a godsend on a couple of hot evenings, the beds are comfortable and we all slept really well (although the endless barking of a neighbour's dog was a little irritating ). The kitchen is small and cleverly laid out with a lot stored high and accessed by steps. A cheese grater would have been welcome and pot pourri in the salad bowl was pretty but meant we couldn't actually use it. The kids were thrilled to have TV with Disney channel! There is a laundromat at Intermarché. We would have loved some guidance on waste segregation - we separated our recycling and left it, hoping for the best, but after having checked out I spotted municipal recycling, and even community compost (near the pool, actually!) which we would have gladly used. In all, I can imagine Casa Sofia would be a great place to visit anytime of year and I hope we can visit again some day."

"We stayed at this villa for a week July 2025- 2 adults and 2 teens. Booking experience was great and Nigel sent lots of helpful info. What an amazing property. The view from the garden and infinity pool alone was worth the booking. All set in a beautiful cork oak forest. The roads to the property are windy and steep - but the cooler mountain breeze and stunning scenery are worth it. The villa has everything you need - comfy beds, pool towels, decent sized fridge freezer, outdoor furniture inc sun loungers, off-road parking.The nearby supermarket is well stocked.We did a few trips - a boat trip to see the Benagil Caves and dolphins, a beach trip to Praia de Odeceixe, a water park trip and a zoo trip, All good- and then lovely to get back to our quiet haven. We enjoyed some night swims with the pool lights on, gecko spotting and using the BBQ. The gardens are beautiful. Air con a bonus"
