Villa holiday rentals in Monchique

I don't think there are enough words to describe Villa Vida Nova. It is an amazing place, the house , the gardens, the views and the pool. We stayed for 1 week and it wasn't long enough. The house is exactly as you see in the photos, completely equipped for all your needs. kitchen is fully stocked and I love that there was ware for both inside and outside use. We loved eating out on the covered patio. The weather was beautiful so we made full use of the pool. The location is stunning, views amazing. I would definitely recommend a car as it is too far to walk to village or supermarkets but it's only a 5-7min drive. There is a lovely square to have coffee and pastries and everyone is very friendly. The quality of local restaurants is top class and most favourite is Laur Da Fóia at the top of the road. Very busy so I'd recommend booking in advance. Nigel was a superb host, very quick to respond and very knowledgeable about the area and advise where to go. Check in was effortles

The house is amazing, it has everything you need, the location is beautiful, Megan and the house managers are super nice - I strongly recommend to stay here!!

Great house to stay with family, we had room for all of us. The pool was awesome to have!

Exceptional setting, quality home with hosts with onions (French expression😂! ) We are fortunate not to have shared the facilities because we were almost alone on the premises: Hammam, Jacuzzi, Massage , pool , Sauna 😍 The Villa is isolated from the rest of the city but ⚠️ be careful there are 2 or 3 additional lodges. In any case Mitchel and Selina are really great, respond quickly to the group's questions, adapt very quickly too and are smiling and full of nice little touches: breakfast several times, welcome beers etc ... Thanks again to them And I can't wait to come back in a few years to see the improvements that have been made to this little corner of heaven 🥰

What a pleasure to stay at Johann's. The house is impeccable and the environment is so peaceful! I highly recommend it. Thanks again for this week!

Wonderful gem hidden in the deep eucalyptus forest . Amazing and very comfortable house . Ideal for rechargeable vacations . Laura was very kind to proved us with woods for the fireplace . Also they have a very nice restaurant with local food . Thank you we will come back.

great place to stay. surrounding nature's and very nice view

If you are looking for a beautiful location to unplug and relax, look no further than Bernardo & Laura’s place. The photos don’t do justice to the breathtaking views. Their place is in a very peaceful and quiet spot in the mountains; while still being only about 35 minutes from the amazing beaches of the Algarve. We were a group of 6 people, including 2 young kids, and we always felt very comfortable in the spacious accommodations. Laura was super responsive and helpful in all of our communications and was able to accommodate an early check-in, which we appreciated after a long flight. We would definitely recommend this home.

A really lovely villa, photos don’t really do it justice. It’s very spacious and there was plenty of room for our group, 6 adults and 3 young children. The pool and play area were very popular. Lisa and David were great hosts. They provided everything we needed and more and were very good with communication and info. Some lovely personal touches for our stay left in the villa too which were much appreciated. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this villa and hope to return again sometime.

Villa is absolutely beautiful exactly like it is in the photos highly recommended, Would definitely stay here again villa is only a few minutes from the town by car. Everything you could possibly wish for in the kitchen, right down to a third fridge in the outside barbecue area. We stayed with friends, as 2 families so eight in the villa and had plenty of room. also separate areas for all of us so it never felt like we was all on top of each other I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of staying here Till the next time 😎

Absolutely perfect stay — 10/10! This was the ideal place for a visit to the Algarve. Rosa was hands down the best host I’ve ever had on Airbnb. From the moment I booked, she went above and beyond. Before I even arrived, she sent a detailed guide with everything I needed to know about the property, plus amazing recommendations for local restaurants, sights, and hidden gems. The home itself was spotless, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a fantastic stay. I truly couldn’t recommend this place more — I’ll definitely be coming back!

We spent a total of two weeks in the accommodation with adults plus small children. The house and the surroundings left nothing to be desired. The kitchen equipment and the furnishings of the premises were great, each room has its own bathroom, everything was very clean and well maintained. We felt immediately comfortable and were able to relax very well. The area and the (natural) pool invited you to linger, but great beaches or restaurants are also easy to reach by car. The communication and check-in went perfectly. The accommodation is absolutely recommended, we had a great time and would come back anytime.

Returning to this luxury property feels like coming home. The hosts and Laura, go above and beyond to ensure each stay surpasses the last. Their attention to detail, proactive communication, and warm hospitality make every visit exceptional. I'm grateful for the consistency and quality of care they provide and look forward to many more stays. Highly recommended for those seeking a truly attentive and luxurious experience. Thanks again for another perfect visit!

Incredible stay in this beautiful villa hosted by Wilson. We had such an amazing time! The view is simply magnificent, there is plenty of room and seating areas to enjoy it every minute of the day. We had the pool heated and it was totally worth it. Note if you are travelling with kids, there is a small separated part of the pool that is PERFECT for toddlers. Wilson was such a great host, starting from the Booking. He gave us plenty of suggestions and tips to make the most out of our stay and he welcomed us with a welcome basket which was much appreciated as we just arrived from our night flight. Everything was super clean and there was even everything you need to enjoy the pool and the beach with kids. Don’t look further, if you have a car, this villa is the best base to explore the Algarve. We would happily come back!

Honestly, I can’t say enough about Ana on how she went above and beyond to make my weekend celebrating my birthday and bachelorette with my friends special! She went as far as to in on the surprise to ensure that I was completely blown away! The villa is spectacular and my only regret is the number of balloons we left lying around when we left (sorry Ana). The rooms were spacious, immaculately clean, great convenient location with a grocery store and cafes nearby. Also wasn’t too far to get to the main strip! I highly recommend booking this gorgeous villa!

Great time at a beautiful villa, perfect for a large group. Ubers and taxi only 15/20 mins to busy location. Would definitely recommend.

Great hosts - super communication and very good recommodations for activities and restaurants .... everything was perfect - hope to come back again (with better weather 😉) ... we fully enjoyed our stay... thx Lina for all your help ....

We really enjoyed our stay. We felt right at home. Inspiring place. Amazing view and great host. Lina was always helpful and gave us some great recommendations. We would be happy to visit again.

Lina was extraordinary from the moment I reserved the rooms to when I left. We changed so many messages that were replied super quickly! She organized two dinners during our 2 night stay with so much attention to the details and love that made all the difference. The house is located on the top of the mountais so imagine the view!! Amazing! I would for sure come back.

Wonderful for switching off or for working remotely. Everything was very nice and stylishly arranged! We were able to cook in the small outdoor kitchen and made an excursion to a beach one day that was about 40 minutes away.

The accommodation is beautifully located and furnished with a lot of taste and love! You can see the attention to (Swedish) detail! The grounds are large and green, the rooms are very cozy and comfortable. It's great that it's also dog-friendly! We were there at the end of February, it was a bit cold + damp, especially with the kitchen and living room outside. But we would love to come back in the summer!

A beautiful place nestled away in the peaceful hills of Monchique. You’ll wake up to birds chirping and the sun rising right in front of you. The place is carefully decorated and felt like a home to rest from the moment we arrived. The surrounding area is peaceful, the nature abundant and many towns and attractions easy to reach by car. A special place for a special get away!

We spent a week in this really charming accommodation. It was very lovingly furnished and had its own charm. We arrived at night, the way was a little adventurous, but we had wished for a quiet area and got it. It all corresponded to the pictures and information. If you are looking for an idyllic area in a feel-good apartment and are traveling by car, you will certainly find it here. We would come back.
