General Info |
|
| |
Amidst the scent of pine and eucalyptus trees, the property is set away from the road which ascends to Foia, the highest point in the Algarve and is a five minute drive to Monchique, a traditional market town with a good range of shops which cater for daily needs, including a fish and vegetable market. Only 45 minutes from either the renowned South Coast or stunningly rugged West Coast. The views from the villa are spectacular over the rolling foothills of the Serra de Monchique to the coast from East of Albufeira to beyond Lagos in the West. There are many good and inexpensive restaurants within a short distance, especially the well known Restaurant Rampa famous for its excellent piri piri chicken. There are many attractive walks through the cork oak, olive and eucalyptus woods in the area. |

Details on the area surrounding the property/accommodation |
|
| |
Casa Rosa is situated in a secluded position amongst pine, mimosa and chestnut trees and will appeal to those seeking a relaxing holiday in a well equipped and comfortable villa. The lush green views as you climb up the hill to Foia are in stark contrast to the beach scene of the coast. |

Further Details |
The linen is changed once a week and also the bathroom towels. Each bedroom has a free standing fan. Separate pool towels are also provided to avoid the extra weight for visitors when travelling. Rosario looks after the house and any problems that may arise. Sergio looks after the pool. A gardener makes regular visits to tend the garden and water the plants. The quiet unspoilt beaches on the west coast are about 45 mins easy drive. Monte Clergio has a long sandy beach backed by dramatically steep cliffs and there are two restaurants making it a pleasant day out. There are of course the nearer beaches of Praia de Rocha, Praia de Vau. The stunning Meia Praia is near Lagos and again there are many restaurants dotted along this six mile length of sand!

What visitors have said about Casa Rosa |
| |
| |
We wanted a secluded villa with a large swimming pool in Monchique. As we were travelling with three of our children and one boyfriend, the villa had to be on the large side. On arrival we could not believe how beautiful the villa was. The pictures do not do the magnificent setting justice. Inside Casa Rosa has a 'lived in' homely feel, something that is lacking in other properties. The kids loved the upstairs balcony with the superb view over the Monchique hills. They also loved the massive swimming pool and actually preferred to stay there all day rather than go to the beach. Our favourite evenings were having a barbeque under the pergola with soft music playing with a glass of wine. I wish I was back there now! Highly recommended by all of us.

The location is superb if what you want is a 'get away from it all holiday'. The views are incredible and the villa itself is all you could ask for. The pool area is raised which allows the views to be enjoyed whilst also being secluded. There are a variety of eating areas in and out of the sun so when it gets too hot (and it can do) there are shady areas to relax in. The villa is well laid out and spacious with all the amenities you are used to at home. There is a veritable library of books to read and of course TV if the weather turns. The villa is well equipped with loungers and cushions etc and pool toys and towels. There are a number of eateries within walking distance offering local cuisine though a car is essential for shopping etc. The villa was clean and obviously well maintained and the gardener visits regularly. We would highly recommend this villa for a family with older children and older people though if infirm it would not suit due to a high number of steps around the property. For us it was the perfect getaway to share with friends.
