Villa holiday rentals in Monchique

Great villa very close to shops and beach. Host had very good communication. Jets in hot tub didn’t work during our stay and when the gardeners come they were very loud but overall a great stay and would go again! Building a villa next door but was not in anyway noisy and host told us before we confirmed the booking.

Spacious villa with comfortable beds & bedding, good air con and large communal areas. Good location with small supermarket/shops within walking distance or Aldi 5min drive away. Restaurant options also nearby. Marina with lots of bars is a 45 minute walk away, with old town being 8-10 minute drive away. Lovely pool with comfortable loungers and enough shaded areas if needed! Although the pool made our swimwear and skin go green (we were told this was because of our sun cream, but have never had that happen previously and we all used different creams), so don’t wear pale swimwear and towels around the pool!! The villa could do with a much larger bin considering its occupancy size and also basic cleaning supplies (disinfectant spray or wipes & bin bags) would be useful. Have to buy all your own supplies including sponge to wash up and dishwasher tablets. Otherwise lovely stay and would definitely return again!! Thank you ☺️

The villa is very well equipped, literally had everything we needed/wanted. Housekeeping also visited multiple times and were very accommodating. Quiet neighbourhood, you can walk to the beach but a car is probably needed otherwise. Great communication. Would highly recommend, thank you Rene and team!

Beautiful house 5 min drive to a beautiful beach. The pool is heated but we enjoyed the Jacuzzi and normal fireplace more in November. We were able to eat outside at lunchtime. The environment is very quiet and the house is spacious and very well-equipped. Thanks again to Izabel and Taylor for their hosting, welcome gift and great availability.

Blue Hill Boutique and Antonio have been fantastic. The villa is first class and the photos are an exact likeness. It truly made for a luxury stay and we will absolutely book again. We are a family of 2 children, 2 adults and the villa is both private, peaceful and very secure. The layout of the villa is perfect with every bedroom opening up to the pool. Olhão harbour was a favourite for gelato when we could convince the children to have a break from the pool. Antonio’s hospitality is first class and nothing was too much trouble and appreciated, especially the welcome bottle of rose

If you're looking for a place to stay near Praia da Arrifana, book Lyn's beautiful home - you won't regret it! We were there during a major storm, and even with poor weather we had an absolutely wonderful time. The house is very spacious and comfortably decorated, with an extremely well-equipped kitchen for cooking (a huge plus for us). The house is walking distance from the beach and the Rota Vicentina hiking trails, and there's a good supermarket just a few minutes away by car. Lyn and Mariana were very easy to communicate with and helpful...we'd love to go back some time!

We had such a wonderful week at Villa Ocean Dreams! Giuliana’s home was even more beautiful and spacious than the photos! The location was fantastic with the beach so close and the boardwalk to walk into the marina or town right across the street. The pool and hot tub made our week even better. We spent much of our time in the comfortable gathering areas by the pool, under the shade and awnings upstairs and downstairs, or playing games in the evening at the dining table. All of the beds were very comfortable and the air conditioning was perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals for our group of five and was so well stocked with cooking utensils and appliances. Giuliana was so helpful and welcoming, making us feel right at home.

My wife Beth and I just had our wedding at the tiny whale lodge and it could not have been more perfect! Every single detail was considered and taken care of and the team we met could not have been more friendly, helpful and responsive. We would come back every year if we could!!

The most amazing place we’ve ever stayed. We travel as a family of 7 and use Airbnb regularly all over the world. This is the best presented, best location, so close to fun experiences, history, culture, beaches. We all loved it and wish we’d stayed longer. The house is beautiful, well thought out and stunningly decorated, with well curated art. It felt like home much more than the average Airbnb experience. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous beach just a little walk away. Town is very nice w beach bars etc. house has awesome views. Views when in pool are not good due to wall. Suggest to maybe put up acrylic wall? Host was super responsive. We loved our stay at this very large house!

Beautiful place in a lovely area. The house looks just like the pictures if not better. It’s very functional and everything you might need is there. It’s located close to the beautiful beach. Everyone was very helpful and I would definitely recommend this place and stay there again . Thank you!

Our stay at this villa was fantastic! The new outdoor kitchen was amazing, and the heated pool made it extra special. The Arkeo team went above and beyond, even installing a fence to keep our small child safe from the stairs. The location is perfect, and the elevator was incredibly convenient for our luggage. One thing that really stood out is how much better the villa feels in person—it’s elegant and understated in the photos, but the space, design, and atmosphere are even more impressive when you’re actually there. Although our stay was too short, we can’t wait to come back for a longer visit. Highly recommend this villa for a luxurious stay in Quinta do Lago!

We loved our stay in Benagil. The house on a cliff overlooking the ocean was amazing and peaceful. We hiked to the beach and along the cliffs from the house and we took day trips by car to nearby towns. The house was large and pristine. Marco was very responsive and provided local recommendations. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip.

The villa was absolutely beautiful. It looked exactly like the photos. It accommodated 6 adults and 2 children comfortably. Whilst we were there the towels were changed, beds were stripped, pool cleaned, gardens maintained. The villa is very well cared for. Agree with other reviews that you either need a car or be prepared to get a taxi (7 euros to the marina). The walk is doable but part of it is along a quick road with blind corners and no pavement. We didn’t feel safe doing it. We had one issue that was dealt with - thank you for the responsive communication. Thank you for the welcome drink left in the fridge. We were met personally on arrival and could check in early due to a morning flight. We would 100% stay here again and recommend.

What a fantastic property and location. We had high expectations from the photos and price, but they were met and more. Modern with all of the amenities: cooking essentials, beach gear / toys, towels, beers if you're lucky the previous guest didn't finish them! Wendy and Manel are very responsive (when asked - not interfering!) and I am so glad they have shared their home with us for a week. We've walked the coastal path on past visits and wondered what it would be like to live in one of the villas right next to it... Now we know and want to do it again!

Our party of 8 stayed at Cristina's Villa for 10 days at the beginning of June. It is truly gorgeous, spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, super large bedrooms all with en-suite and as already mentioned on other reviews the view from the terrace is amazing. So lovely to have the pool with sun loungers, many a happy hour was spent there enjoying the sunshine. Cristina is a great host… very helpful and quick to respond if we needed her for any queries or local recommendations etc. We didn’t hire a car but very good beach bars and restaurants are nearby.. we also walked into Lagos several times returning by taxis which were readily available from the main road near the old town… Pingo Doce supermarket are happy to call a taxi for you … Also we were lucky to find the services of N&E taxi company… Vitor and Nuno offer a fantastic friendly service. We all had a great holiday and can thoroughly recommend the Villa of Magical Light.

Very nice house with beautiful garden and refreshing swimming pool. Has all the comforts and more than enough space. We had a wonderful time in a beautiful setting with beautiful beaches and in the middle of nature.

We booked Filips place quite last minute but he was very responsive and helpful so everything went well finding the house. Upon arrival he greeted us, showed us around and kept being very responsive during our stay. We enjoyed the beautiful house and it's quiet location very much and would happily book the house again should we decide to travel to Algarve again.

Our stay at Vila G, Mira Luz was all that we had hoped it would be. The stunning views were not hard to take every morning over coffee. The accommodations were very comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. Walking distance to the beach and the little shops/restaurants. The area was quiet and well maintained with a gated community to feel safe and secure. We even survived the blackout ! Thank you for hospitality would definitely recommend.

Joana was a fantastic host and the property was perfect. There’s a lovely coffee shop just down the road with extremely helpful staff. The property had everything you need and is abundantly spacious. Joana is so helpful with her recommendations. We had a 16month old with us and no question or request was too much. I especially loved the baby friendly features such as the cot (not a travel crib) and the highchair. You’re a short distance to supermarkets beaches and restaurants but far enough out to feel peaceful. We will be coming back!

One of the best AirBnB we staid in during our trips to Portugal. The place is spacious, large living room with high ceiling, good size open kitchen, master with on suite. Ideal for a family with kids. The outdoor space is fantastic, quiet, always a place in the sun or in the shadow depending how hot it is. The pool is lovely. Christin's place is impeccable, and the attention to details (equipment and decoration) is a notch above what you usually get with AirBnB. Christin is lovely and has a few stories to tell. German organisation with Portugese chill ; )

It was a very nice holiday in the BellyBeachHouse! When you enter, it smells pleasantly of freshly washed laundry and it is very clean! The area offers great opportunities to do something, surf, hike, cycle, etc... But you can also just relax and unwind for a day by the pool. The nearby beach (Praia de Bordeira) is perfect for surfers and families and one of the most beautiful beaches I've seen so far! The only small drawback is the construction site behind the house. But luckily, it won't last forever!

We were two families and had a great time! The house is spacious, well equipped and the sea view with the fantastic sunsets was a highlight. The beach is within walking distance. The only point of improvement would be air conditioning - otherwise everything was perfect. We would come back anytime!

Beautiful house in a good location. Slightly disappointed that the fireplace was not operational. The house was also short on basics : eg: tea & sugar supplied, but no salt & pepper No soap in any bathrooms. Hopefully the supplies we left are there for the next occupants. Otherwise it was fairly good & the host was always responsive.
