"This was the perfect place to stay for hiking the Fishermans Trail. It was lovely walking out and seeing the cliffs, beach and amazing surf. There was a clothes washer but no instructions for how to use it, so we were unable to do our laundry. Also, Vrbo sent different check-in directions which caused confusion at the beginning. It was one of the nicest places we stayed for our three weeks in Portugal."

"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! "
