Villa holiday rentals in Monchique

We had a fantastic stay at Susana’s place. The accommodation was beautiful and spotlessly clean (very happy to let my little one crawl around on the floors it was so clean!). Much bigger than the photos. Pool area was very peaceful. Lots of amenities without being cluttered. Well stocked kitchen and generous welcome pack. Restaurants and beautiful beaches within walking distance. Great communication and very helpful host. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

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!

From first booking we had excellent communication with the owners. We decided to get the pool heated and use there transfer service. The pool was a good temperature on arrival and the transfer was excellent service. We were greeted at the villa by Pavel (Villa manager), he was very friendly, he showed us the working of the villa and what the area had to offer locally. We did have an issue with the A/C, we made contact with Pavel and the issue was sorted within a few hours (great service). Everything that was advertised on the listing page described the villa exactly. I would highly recommend staying here and we look forward to a return holiday at the villa.

Great place to stay! property was in great condition, and was a great base for our group of 8. All the bedrooms were an even size and the open plan space downstairs was fantastic. lovely garden and pool. BBQ also extremely clean which is not always the case and all appliances were easy to use. check in and check out were easy and the host was always contactable.

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.

Excellent villa with an excellent host! would use the villa and Kinga again in the future. Thank you Kinga for the warm welcome and the unexpected welcome pack with groceries. Very easy to communicate with when needed! Thank you again. The Stewart

Casa Mu is a beautiful home with zen like qualities and an expansive view. We were staying at the house during the black out. Matthijs reached out to us while the cell towers were still live and came by to open the gates manually so we could get back to the house. Yannick stopped by later in the day to give us updates. The home has a Big Green egg and we had bought charcoal the day we arrived so we were able to cook dinner. Thankfully power was down for only a short time. Casa Mu has one of the best equipped kitchens I’ve ever seen in a rental. We bought oranges and limes from a roadside stand and made fresh juice using the electric juicer. Beds are super comfortable and bathrooms well equipped. I would suggest bringing bar soap for the shower. There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room to hang out both inside and outside the house. The pool is not heated, but I did go in. A bit bracing, but not too cold. For food shopping, go to Apolonia in Lagoa. Great store that has all you need

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!!

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.

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!

Great house! Loved that it was walkable to the beach and several restaurants. Everything was clean, pool was amazing, hosts were so kind

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

Had a wonderful 8 days at the villa. Cristina has been a wonderful host, helping us with any queries re the villa and surrounding area. The villa is fabulous, with amazing views of the beach and sea, peaceful surroundings and a beautiful pool area. It’s a 40min walk into Lagos harbour area, approx. And a 10min car drive. All the rooms were clean and minimalist which was perfect. It would have been nice to have had a shower holder/mount in our room (double that looks over the pool) as we had to use the showers in our friends rooms. The kitchen was fab and filled with all the utensils and equipment we needed. Living areas and balconies were comfortable and relaxing. Loved the neutral decor throughout. Would be more than happy to come back for a future stay. Thank you! ☺️

The accommodation was perfect, it was clean, spacious and well equipped. The outside area was the highlight with seating, sun beds, pool and bbq area. Bruno was very helpful and answered questions quickly. The location was a short uber/taxi from the main area (€5) which was no problem for us. A fantastic stay and would definitely recommend.

We stayed at this property for three nights with my children and parents, and it was perfection. Everything was brand new and top quality. You could tell there was a lot of attention to detail when designing / refurbishing the space. Stefanie was super-responsive and it was a breeze getting in and checking-out. We hope to stay there again when it warms up so we can use the breathtaking pool area. 10/10.

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.

Madalena was a fabulous host, really friendly and always a quick response to my messages.. a stunning location, the photos really don't do it justice. We stayed for 4 nights, enjoying walking to nearby Loule. A supermarket just 5 mins walk away and a cafe. Would not hesitate to go back, thank you so much Madalena

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 ; )

We had a wonderful time staying at Sebastian's place and highly recommend the place! The apartment was clean, modern, and stylish. The location was perfect, with short distances to shopping and short drives to a variety of beaches. Sebastian was very friendly and helpful, he took care of everything and was always available. We will be back :-)

Amazing location and well appointed accommodation. Very helpful hosts - we were able to check in early and lost our keys on day one and they came to the rescue immediately. Loved the outdoor area and proximity to the beach and town with some lovely restaurants. Would love to go back !

We had a wonderful weeks stay. Everyone was exactly as described. We arrived very late at night but found the villa so easily from the pin drop provided and so easy to access. We received very welcome recommendations for restaurants and activities and tried a number of these which were excellent. We would definitely return as we enjoyed the villa so much.
