About this property

Mountain Cottage with stunning spectacular views, peaceful and safe

This traditional Portuguese cottage is set on a mountain estate with breathtaking views surrounded by native trees and plants. It has been refurbished to a high standard with three bedrooms, two bathrooms including one en suite. A well equipped kitchen with washing machine, dishwasher, fridge and separate freezer and all other convenience items. The sitting room is well equipped for six persons with internet access and television with many channels and an indoor dining table. A barbecue area for a perfect place to have lunch or dinner, with outdoor areas for eating undercover or in the sun. A secluded pool (5m x 3.5m, overall 1metre deep) ideal for cooling off on those hot summer days. Well located within 10mins of the old town of Monchique, a town where time stands still. An ideal location for that get-away holiday, whether it's soaking up the sun, hiking in the hills, cycling or simply just relaxing by the pool with a book. It is close to the Autodrome, great for Formula 1 and Motor GP.

Guests comments:

'What a wonderful location and the house! - everything you could wish for. We'll definitely come back, but longer next time'.

“My daughter & her family live in Monchique, so we have stayed in many cottages around, but we felt so at home here, that we will return next year for three weeks, a first for us!”

“View to die for is an understatement. We've had a fabulous week, and we will be coming back”

'It was our second visit to Portugal but our first to Monchique - and we will come back! The great view and the silence are perfect for relaxing.'

'Wow! Our first visit to Portugal and we are hooked. Waking up every morning to the view of 'the world below' is the best tonic ever. The cottage felt like home as soon as we arrived - the best nights sleep ever'.

A beautiful holiday home in a stunning location made our holiday really special and unique'.

Perfect holidays in Algarve
We had an wonderful vacation at Casa Andorinha ! Trevor and Francesca are really kind and welcoming people who gave us plenty of advice on things to do in the area. We particularly loved Sagres and Cabo do Sao Vicente. We also really liked Praia do Amado on the west coast. The food in Algarve in fantastic ; we also cooked at home for diners and used the BBQ every day, it was really nice. The view from the house is absolutely stunning (much more that we can see on the pictures). We will definitely come back !

Großartiges Landhaus
Wer die Ruhe liebt, ist hier richtig: das Haus ist sehr sauber, die Küche ist großzügig ausgestattet, das Anwesen bietet viel Platz, die teils überdachte Terrasse ermöglicht herrliche Mahlzeiten an der frischen Luft mit einem überwältigendem Ausblick. Bei guter Sicht ist das Meer gut zu erkennen. Der Pool ist mit einem Meter Tiefe gut zum Abkühlen, aber nicht zu tief für kleine Schwimmanfänger. Und das alles garniert mit der Herzlichkeit und Fürsorge der Vermieter, die immer für Fragen und Wünsche offen sind, denen aber auch die Privatsphäre der Urlauber wichtig ist. Einfach toll!

Wonderful villa, lovely hosts Tessa and Trevor could not have been more helpful. The views are amazing and the place is so relaxing. Could not have wished for more. Will be back hopefully very soon and will definitely recommend to family and friends.
