Nature and surroundings
This beautiful country house as a nature house is located in a mountainous nature reserve near the reservoir Barragem de Bravura, yet offers good access to many tourist attractions in the area. Within half an hour you can reach, for example: Monchique, Aljezur, Foia and the beaches on the west coast. Also the famous surf beaches Arrifana and Carrapateira, cities Portimao and Lagos, several golf locations and the south coast beaches can be reached in about half an hour. There are many opportunities for cyclists and hikers. A visit to the Serra de Monchique is also worthwhile; at 902 meters the highest point in the Algarve. It offers a beautiful panoramic view of the entire area. Caldas da Monchique is a Roman seaside resort. Within five kilometers you will find several Portuguese restaurants (good daily dish/choice menu €6, wine €1) and a supermarket. Upon request, a hostess will accompany you to the location and she will show you around if necessary. Interim cleaning is also possible. The landlord will gladly, for a small fee, lay out the first groceries for you.

A gem!!! Lovely house, beautifully decorated. Pool top! Everything was there. We really enjoyed our vacation and would love to come back again! Contact with the owner (via email and app) was also very pleasant.
Een pareltje! Heerlijk huis, mooi ingericht. Zwembad top! Alles was aanwezig. We hebben enorm genoten van onze vakantie en komen graag weer een keer terug!
Contact met de eigenaar (via mail en app) verliep ook heel prettig.The house is beautifully situated, completely surrounded by greenery. Plenty of privacy!
Het huis is prachtig gelegen, helemaal omringd door groen. Volop privacy!

We had one week of good weather, and then enjoyed the pool and sun loungers, but also a week with bad weather so we had to sit inside more and then the house is perhaps a bit dark. If we would have had 2 weeks of good weather and much outside around the house could stay, it would have been a 9
Wij hebben één week mooi weer gehad, en toen heerlijk ook genoten van het zwembad en ligstoelen, maar ook een week met slechter weer waardoor we meer binnen moesten zitten en dan is het huis misschien wat donker. Als we 2 weken mooi weer zouden hebben gehad en veel buiten rondom het huis konden verblijven, dan was het wel een 9 geworden
We had a wonderful time in the beautiful house among the fragrant eucalyptus trees. I found it a unique experience to be so in the middle of nowhere yet also near authentic villages and towns. The house is comfortable, lovely beds, and has a fine wood stove. From the house we made many well-marked walks, along the beautiful rugged coast and also in the hilly interior around Monchique, a nice town nearby and also near Marmelete, the village to which the house belongs. The communication with Lotte, the owner, was very good. If there was any ambiguity or a small problem she immediately came into action and tried to solve it for us.The only small drawback is the bumpy dirt road you have to take the last 2 or 3 km to get to the house. But that also added to the feeling of being completely in nature.
We hebben het heerlijk gehad in het mooie huis tussen de heerlijk ruikende eucalyptusbomen. Ik vond het een unieke ervaring om zo in de middel of nowhere te zijn maar toch ook in de buurt van authentieke dorpjes en stadjes. Het huis is comfortabel, heerlijke bedden, en heeft een fijne houtkachel. Vanuit het huis hebben we veel goed gemarkeerde wandelingen gemaakt, langs de prachtige ruige kust en ook in het heuvelachtige binnenland rondom Monchique, een leuk stadje in de buurt en ook bij Marmelete, het dorp waar het huis bij hoort.
De communicatie met Lotte, de eigenaar, verliep heel goed. Als er onduidelijkheid was of een klein probleem dan kwam ze direct in actie en probeerde het voor ons op te lossen.
Het enige kleine nadeel is de hobbelige zandweg die je de laatse 2 a 3 km moet nemen om bij het huis te komen. Maar dat droeg ook bij aan het gevoel van lekker helemaal in de natuur.This text is automatically translated.
