8.9/10
4.4/5

The nature house is located in the Serra de Monchique, a protected nature reserve. The house consists of 2 attached houses and is located in the middle of the mountains of Monchique. The nature house is on the ground floor of an old Portuguese house that was completely renovated in 1994 and brought back to its original state. The 2 houses are not rented out at the same time, only in the months of April to September the owner occupies the other house. The ideal combination of the fantastic coastal/beach areas on the west coast and the south coast to enjoy and relax in this vacation house!

Nature and surroundings

The environment is overwhelming: no neighbors only the original nature where you can relax. For hikers and nature lovers a unique region. From the house you have a view of the many old cork oak trees belonging to the plot. Next to the house is the beautiful large garden overlooking vast valleys and hills. In the distance you can see the mountain Picota (774m). The garden is full of fruit trees, ornamental bushes and flowers, among other things. From the house the west coast (magnificent) can be reached within 45 minutes, the south coast (no less fascinating but very touristy) within 35 minutes. The distance from the wide access road, with 2 gas-paved lanes, to the house is about 500 m. of which the first part goes down rather steeply. Arriving at the house you get the impression of being in another world.

    The village of Monchique is 5 minutes away by car and has everything you need - including Portuguese charm. We really liked the surroundings.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5/5

    The house and property have been designed with great attention to detail and a view of the mountains. It is well equipped with everything you need: from kitchen equipment to light switches and fly screens so that you can ventilate well even in warm August. The countryside is quiet and very green. The owner is very friendly, helpful and radiates the same tranquillity as the place itself. Highly recommended:)

    Cozy cottage in beautiful, traditional style. Spacious enough for two people and well equipped with all the necessities. Spacious covered terrace with tables, bench, deck chairs, a large, sturdy parasol and surrounded by beautiful flowers and plants (lemon, oleander, hibiscus, figs, all kinds of succulents, roses, ...). In less than an hour you can get from the hills of Monchique to the sea of the south or west coast of the Algarve.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5/5

    The house is in an idyllic, green setting in a valley full of cork oaks, eucalyptus trees, olive trees and earthen trees. All you hear is the rustling of the wind, birdsong and the occasional rooster. A fox would occasionally come and take a look from a distance at night. At night incredible stars to see. The cottage is close to charming Monchique where you will find plenty of stores and restaurants. You can make beautiful walks and about ten routes in the area are also well marked and documented (PR and GR routes).

    The cottage is very nice and quiet and private. It is equipped with all amenities. Truly a gem. The bathroom could be made a little more practical. When using the shower, everything is wet and the floor is very slippery. Otherwise a really lovely cottage!

    Nature, peace & environment: 2/5

    Unfortunately, nature has been destroyed around the cottage. Not only by fires of 2017, but especially by the construction, everywhere you can look, of eucalyptus, pine or cork oak plantations. The ecostructure has been totally destroyed. There are few birds or mammals to be seen. This is very unfortunate and you do not expect from a mountainous area
