Villa Vida Nova

Owner from Duncan, Canada

About

Originally I am from the UK and my wife from Canada. We have lived in the UK, Africa and Canada but now live in Portugal we spend our winters at the villa and our summers on the Silver Coast just north of Lisbon, best of both worlds! Having been in the Hospitality Business for many years we decided to put these skills to use in the renting of our Villa and for the past 11 years have seen almost 100% occupancy rates, thank you to all our clients! We were in the business of building villas for expat's and so we chose to build this one using our years of experience and putting our dreams into action. We chose this location because of the spectacular views and that the area is unspoiled, yet we are just a short drive to the best beaches, golf courses, shopping, airport and some of the most inspiring scenery in Portugal.

★★★★★ Just a Dream We stayed in the villa for 1 week. The house is very modern and has everything you could need. The interior is very nice and the house has a lot of space. All technical things are perfectly described (electric garden gate, pool cover, etc.) The sea in this area is amazing. You can walk to the beach in 15 minutes on a beautiful path. Here you will find few people and huge waves - just a dream

★★★★★ Sorry we had to leave. Had a great vacation here everything you could wish for. Super clean and modern. Excellent wifi, warm pool, great walks and Sao Maritnho is an incredible location with an amazing choice of very good affordable restaurants, sorry we had to leave!

★★★★★ I am missing all things Monchique and Villa Vida Nova. Thank you for a lovely time at your villa. The past two weeks have been restorative and oh so much fun. You may have the best view in the Algarve! I will be dreaming of it often. We’ve been back from vacay for several weeks now and I am missing all things Monchique and Villa Vida Nova. One of the reasons we like Monchique, aside from the glorious weather, cool mountain air, and phenomenal views are the excellent restaurants of which there are several: Foz do Banho is close to the Monchique Resort & Spa. We had the most AMAZING cataplana there. It was so good that we went back again and again. It was one of the most delicious culinary experiences of my life. Luar do Foia (our go-to spot) is an excellent restaurant. We were impressed by the quality of the food and service. My husband runs a large restaurant group at home and was quite pleased. It’s almost impossible to please him especially when it comes to service. For that, I am grateful.

★★★★★ Beautiful Sunrises Serene in the morning especially. Beautiful sunrises, delicious bbq’s, juicy sweet oranges, spacious, memorable views and peaceful sleeps. We found a favourite pastry shop in town we visited daily. Even twice on one rainy day. Dice and Arte pastry shop. Don’t miss it. Mostly a local shop.

★★★★★ Silver Coast Experience We recently spent one week in the beautiful Villa Vida Nova. Communication with Nigel from the first inquiry to his follow up after our stay was great. We appreciated the information and advice he shared regarding the area. The large three bedroom home was clean, comfortable and well furnished; it did not lack for anything. It was a great space to return to at the end of the day. We appreciated the peace and quiet of the area. We loved the proximity to the hiking trails, beach and ocean and took full advantage of this by adding a couple of great hiking days to our stay. It served well as a central location to explore the Silver Coast. We would definitely return and highly recommend this villa!

★★★★★Wow, this is a super place. Very comfortable, well-managed, and private, with wonderful views. Lots of sunshine during our stay. The Owners said help ourselves to the orange and lemon trees - a thrill to pick for the first time. Really enjoyed the area; it is a good base from which to explore the Algarve. And we loved sharing the swimming pool with the swallows!

★★★★★ Absolutely Amazing Just got home from having a wonderful Silver Coast experience. We had two weeks of bliss and are so sad we had to leave. The villa had everything you could wish for, privacy, peace and quiet, lovely views from the huge upstairs terrace a great place to sit and enjoy the sunsets after swimming in the heated pool. The rooms are spacious and tastefully furnished, beds are very comfortable with quality linen. I think everything is brand new including all the kitchen equipment, cleanliness was excellent. A few minutes walk takes you to the cliff tops with stunning views of the beach and Nazare in the distance. We didn't use the path here to the beach but took the car to two parking lots just 5 minutes drive. There are two fabulous restaurants within walking distance but must admit we drove, the road is so quiet, there are also fantastic views from this road and we watched the hang-gliders launch off the cliff tops. A five minute drive will take you to Sao Martinho do Porto where we bought our provisions and there we found more restaurants than we could count, highly recommend Portobello. This is a great place to people watch on the promenade. Its an amazing beach almost like a lagoon, the water was much warmer here. Dealing with the owner Nigel from start to finish he was so helpful with tips and advice that made everything so easy. We will certainly be back and will recommend this villa to all our friends. Thank you Nigel
