About our home
Villa near Alvor and Portimao, Western Algarve, Portugal - Chilled location, in community of individual, exceptional homes, very safe, peaceful environment.
This luxury, recently refurbished, spacious villa has hosted many happy holidays. It can comfortably sleep up to 8 & provides a great base for those who want to visit the beautiful Algarve beaches, mountains and golf courses and/or see all the history and tradition this popular part of Portugal has to offer.
This is an ideal location for a fun, relaxing family holiday or a more activities based break. The accommodation is spacious and well laid out, with all the necessary amenities to provide a great holiday. The area around the villa is very quiet during the day, so you will need to decide whether to just chill, with a great pool and all the facilities you need to do very little whilst the kids have fun, or to head for the Algarve's great beaches (Alvor is perfect), the water parks or the views and cafe bars of Monchique. In the evening, it's a wonderful place to BBQ (and very cheap) or you can walk to Fonte de Pedra or Tasco for a great steak or sea food for some of the lowest prices anywhere. A short ride to Solar de Forelo, again superb food, plus Fernando's many Ports! Alvor for restaurant selection, great atmosphere and Irish singing is fabulous, and for more nightlife Portimao has something to offer all tastes. Golf, cycling, auto and watersports - so much to do Outside: A variety of covered terraces overlook the large 10m x 4m pool (great for fun & exercise), and established garden, giving a choice of shady eating areas or quiet reading alcoves. The built in BBQ by the covered large dining area (up to 8) provides a great focal point for lunches & dinners. There is ample, quality outside furniture & sunbeds. There is an outside shower at pool side There are two driveways leading to the house, with roofed, gated entrances. The fully fenced and stone walled plot ensures privacy and space, allowing the sun to be enjoyed at all times of the day. The abundance of mature trees, shrubs and hedges ensure lush, leafy green colours throughout the year, offering relief from the hot summer sun and a beautiful environment to spend some time. To the rear of the house there is a large wood store together with ambling stoned pathways meandering through cacti and planters. There are 2 lawn areas giving more room for play. There is a double garage / playroom. Utility Room: Separate utility area with washing machine, dishwasher and fridge-freezer. (Additional fridge freezer in garage / games room). Cleaning / Towels / Linen / service: Towels for bathing & pool use and all linen are provided, and changed every week. The property is cleaned comprehensively before all new arrivals. UK Cotton sheets, pillow cases and quilt covers are used, with full UK sized pillows. Other: Outside covered dining room and chill area for 8 people. Open on 3 sides with ballustrades. Also table tennis table. Games Room with pool table, table football, darts board, kids games, Lego etc. Also, separate drinks fridge. Pilates mats a.o.r.

Simon's reviews
As a host (2)“It is indeed a beautiful oasis! The villa was in a very strategic location which is on the hill enjoying complete serenity and lovely sea breeze but yet only short driving distances from a few lively neighbouring towns. The garden was meticulous with amazing tropical plants, herbs and fruits. We had a wonderful holiday at the villa enjoying swimming and soaking up the sun by the lovely swimming pool. There was ample space for our whole family and plenty of activities such as pool table and table tennis to entertain the children. All four bedrooms were tastefully colour coordinated with top class mattresses for a quality slumber. We loved sampling the local fresh seafood and produces both at nearby restaurants and cooking in the villa, fascinating to watch the smoke channeling through the chimney when barbecuing. We had fantastic experience at restaurant Solar Do Farelo, the owner was friendly and an interesting character, and free flow white and red wine from the barrels :). It was also a therapeutic experience to enjoy an espresso and watching the laid back lifestyle of the locals in the cafes nearby in the village. Gazing at the stars and full moon at night in the garden was too an unforgettable experience for all of us! Missing the clear blue sky, the stars and the moon in Monte Canelas! Thank you so much for your hospitality, Simon!”

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
Monte Canelas is a long established resdiential area with a mix of unique villas, all individually designed. A great spot for a quiet break, but close to a couple of excellent bar restaurants.
Location is perfect - 15 minutes from the best beaches in the Algarve as well as similar distance to Portimao and Lagos, 20 minutes from the mountains.
