About this cottage rental
The Stonehouse is a Detached Converted 2 bedroom farm house nestled in the hillside with it's own private swimming pool and south facing terrace with a panoramic view across tree tops towards Portimão, where the sea can be seen glistening on the horizon, yet is just minutes from the quaint market town of Monchique offering all the local amenities, restaurants, cafes and bars. Monchique has the added benefit of being only a 25-minute drive from the South Coast Beaches, approximately 45 minutes from the more secluded and picturesque West Coast Beaches and 30 minutes from the Portimao Autodrome, home of the Portuguese F1 from 2027.
The Stonehouse offers Privacy, comfort, space, character and as much seclusion as you desire. Restaurants and traditional bars are a few minutes’ drive away or make use of the stone BBQ on the terrace and fully equipped kitchen.
Entering through the kitchen to the spacious living room with dining table, 4 dining chairs, sofa, 2 armchairs, TV, Cd player & wood burning stove you can continue to enjoy the panoramic view.
Adjacent to the fully equipped kitchen which has a full electric cooker, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, Iron & board is a further bedroom which can accommodate 2 further people, either as a Double, Twin, or Single.
Downstairs is the main bedroom (5ft wide bed) & bathroom (bath with shower over bath) toilet and basin, also housing a washing machine. All ground floor windows are fitted with fly screens.
Across the Private terrace is a small private swimming pool, perfect for cooling off on those gloriously hot sunny days! or just relax and enjoy the view in the shade of the old olive tree.
A patio table, parasol, 4 chairs, 4 sun loungers and stone BBQ are provided. Terraced gardens with washing line. Hillside secluded location with stunning view.
Car parking space alongside of house.
For the winter months there is a log fire and oil filled radiators.
There is a weekly maid service.

The Stonehouse occupies a stunning location with panaramic views across the hills and down to the coast. Access to Monchique and its supermarket and restaurants is a matter of minutes and to south or west coast is only 30 or 40 minutes.The value is good too, at a considerably lower price than most properties in the area, but there are some compromises to be made: During our stay the pool filter didnt appear to be working so we had to use the net a lot to skim the surface. The microwve is temperamental and turned when it felt like it, but mostly it was the bed. At home we have an extra firm mattress but the one at the Stonehouse is so unforgiving we struggled to sleep, and the bed is noisy, each time one of us rolled over it woke the other up.Overall its a nice place to stay but does need a little tlc.

It was the idyllic Country House stay in the Portuguese hills with amazing views from the Lounge and Terrace that were magical. The House is very tradition giving you that feeling of an escape to another world and time. We enjoyed having a meal and wine on the terrace while looking at the amazing views and the flora that abounds. Access via the local roads is good and there is parking right next to the house and minimal local traffic passing making for a very quiet ambience. Everything you need is provided, plus amazingly well researched and presented information folders about the area, which make for great reading and tips. Monchique and nearby localities have much to offer, we stayed 4 nights and could have stayed another couple.

The Stone House, lovingly owned by Mark and Sharon was a step back in time. The stone structure, while I suspect it was built many years ago still had all of the modern conveniences you would want.This well appointed home was set in the mountains and we were able to step out of modern chaos and truly relax. The gardens, the pool and the outdoor patio set the stage for a lovely glass of vhino verde and great conversation.Thank you Mark and Sharon for sharing your well-loved home with us! We will be back again if possible.
