One-Off Feature

A glorious three bedroom villa just half a mile from the historic town of Monchique in Portugal.  With private pool, panoramic views of the coast, and within walking distance of several excellent restaurants, this is a perfect position for a Portuguese holiday villa.  One of the Algarve’s best kept secrets!

General Info

The villa is set in private grounds and surrounded by an abundance of flowers and fruit trees.  You can walk in the surrounding olive and cork oak forest, or sit back and enjoy the sounds of nature.  Monchique town is a two minute drive from the villa and is oozing character - a pretty central square with street cafes, beautiful gardens, and narrow historic streets.  All amenities are here too, with supermarkets, butchers, cafes, banks, petrol stations, chemists and gift shops.  There are over 40 restaurants in and around Monchique, some of which are within walking distance of the villa.  Monchique is famous for producing several unusual food products, Porco Preto- black pork, these are reared locally and fed acorns, smoked black pork sausage, honey, chestnuts, cherries, goats cheese, Javali-wild boar, and Medronho-firewater, distilled from the berries of the Arbutus tree.  There is an amazing selection of wines and ports to enhance your dining experience.

The Area Surrounding The Property / Accommodation

Monchique is nestled in a valley between the only two mountains in the Algarve, Foia and Picota. From the villa there are many attractions within a short drive. The peaks and contour roads of Foia and Picota afford 360 degree panoramic views. For the more adventurous, take some of the side roads and visit deserted watermills or the ghost village of Barbelote with its stunning cascade. The mountains here are quite spectacular - ideal for the biker, hiker or just a casual stroll.  The famous village of Caldas de Monchique with its health spa is only 10 minutes drive away. There are several golf courses, the nearest Morgado do Regengo just 15 minutes drive away, and the new Autodromo do Algarve, F1 designed race track, features various motor sport events and track days and if you are up to it, a stunning go kart track open to the public. The busier tourist areas of the south coast and the town of Portimao with shopping malls, night life, sardine restaurants, sandy beaches and marina is just 25 minutes away. Take a boat trip from Portimao or Lagos to watch the dolphins in their natural habitat.  Portimao has now surpassed Faro to become the shopping mecca of the Algarve and is just 20 minutes drive from Monchique.
