Once a farmhouse, this lovingly restored villa still boasts the traditional high, vaulted-wooden ceilings. This feature, combined with large, panoramic windows inviting in floods of natural light, ensures a warm and airy ambience awaits guests. The spacious living room boasts a large L-shaped sofa, TV, chic seating area, decorative fireplace, and an expansive dining table seating 18.
Adjacent to this is an expansive and fully equipped kitchen. Complete with the full range of modern appliances and ample counterspace including a generous kitchen island, the kitchen is a haven for culinary enthusiasts whether you’re tossing together a Summer Salad or preparing a holiday feast for family and friends.
The villa’s seven bedrooms and two separate apartments are spread across the villa. Each room is tastefully designed, featuring a harmonious blend of modern amenities and Portuguese charm. Three bedrooms feature king-sized beds, two feature queen-size beds, and two include twin single beds that can be converted to kings. Each room also boasts its own sitting area, its own outdoor terrace, and ensuite bathrooms with walk-in showers. The last two bedrooms can be found in separate 1-bedroom apartments which boast king-sized beds, a living room with sofa, dining room with four seats, a kitchenette, and even a jacuzzi on the outdoor patio.
The villa seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living, with sprawling terraces overlooking the azure pool and lush gardens, creating a seamless connection with nature. From the grand al fresco dining setting and plush seating area, stairs lead down to the saltwater infinity pool surrounded by sun loungers and Bali beds.
With its charm and sophistication, Casa Montinho invites guests to immerse themselves in Portuguese allure, creating memories that linger long after their stay.
Beautiful Albufeira (30 minute drive) is one of the most popular seasid resort towns in the Algarve. The Old Town with its fascinating history and Moorish-inspired architecture is a certainly worth checking out, especially the square known as Largo Engenheiro Duarte Pacheco. The square and its surrounding streets are brimming with restaurants, cafes, bars, and independent shops. Something fun to check out is the Albufeira Tunnel, which connects the Old town to the main beach.
From the Old Town there are two other interesting sights, including the Old Fisherman’s neighbourhood overlooking the sea at Praia Pescadores, and the beach at Peneco, which can be reached for an impressive glass elevator. Albufeira is also happy to oblige those who are looking for a taste of local nightlife. A street lined with restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, and known as The Strip, is brimming with bright neon lights and excitement into the early hours of the morning.
The various beaches of Albufeira, including Praia do Tunel, Praia do Peneco, Praia Pescadores, and Praia dos Alemaes (where the villa is located), may all bear different names but are actually all connected in one giant, white-sand beach ideal for swimming and long walks by the sea.
One of the best things to do anywhere along the Algarve coastline is a scenic boat tour. There’s a variety of tours, from sightseeing ventures to see the stunning coastal cliffs and caves (with the famous Benagil Cave as the sure highlight). But there are also dolphin watching tours and water sports adventures such as parasailing, jet skiing, kayaking or paddle boarding.
