About this villa rental
O Monte is a converted farmhouse set in an impressive private estate with unbroken views of the Alvor river estuary and the Monchique hills in the background.
The villa has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and can sleep up to 6 people. It has a well equipped kitchen and an airy double reception/dining room that opens up to a terrace with typical Portuguese paving and beautiful views of the river estuary - perfect for sunset drinks and open air dining.
In the garden at the front of the villa lies a secluded and gated swimming pool, surrounded by a leafy terrace and complete with sun beds and a BBQ area - ideal for long and relaxed lunches by the pool.
The property is well suited to small families or a group of friends to share. There is wireless internet access throughout. The house is within easy reach of the lively fishing village of Alvor, beautiful beaches and numerous golf courses and tennis clubs.
Out & About: Ladeira da Nora is only 2 km from the busy fishing village of Alvor with its fun restaurants and bars. Praia da Rocha, the well known resort with beaches, hotels, casino and bars/restaurants is only 6 km away. The historic town of Lagos is 15 minutes drive and offers good restaurants and great nightlife.
There are many golf courses, beaches, scuba diving, surfing, jet skiing, windsurfing & kite surfing, riding, fishing, cycling, sailing, to mention but a few and when the kids have tried of all these there are still water parks, jeep safaris and Zoo marine world. For those seeking other challenges, skydiving is an active sport at Alvor aerodrome at certain times of the year. Additionally, there is the racing track 15 minutes away in Mexilhoeira that hosts Formula 1 Motor Racing, Super bike and Go Karting.
Only 20 km away is the mountain of Monchique with its Spa and thermal water, where you can enjoy a fantastic view in a cooler mountain climate while enjoying the famous piri-piri grilled chicken or regional almond cake.
On hand there are a number of companies providing catering and entertainment services for special days such as weddings and anniversaries.
Golf: Those who enjoy a round of golf have easy access to Alto Club (5 km), Meridian Penina (4 km) both designed by the grandfather of courses Henry Cotton. A little farther afield, Palmares at Meia Praia, Boavista at Lagos and Gramacho at Carvoeiro are only four amongst thirty courses throughout the Algarve.

We have just had the most wonderful week in Casa Monte! A stunning villa with lovely views, great pool and a short distance to Alvor with its many restaurants and bars. The villa itself is beautiful and utterly charming as too is it’s wonderful owner Jim! It was such a pleasure to meet him and hear the history of his farm, what a lovely man! We hope to be back!

We spent 14 lovely days in the house, everything we needed was there, the facility was very clean and well maintained.
On nice days, the tranquility of the complex is occasionally interrupted by the cheers of skydivers. We personally found this more interesting than annoying.
The landlord Jim is always available to give advice and support in all areas.
We couldn't find the WiFi problems noted by other tenants because we simply took the WiFi hotspot with us to the pool, for example.
We would like to thank you for the wonderful time and can recommend the facility and the landlord 100%.

Communication with the host was easy and we were given detailed directions from the airport. The host’s father was waiting for us at the property and he gave us a warm welcome and an extensive tour of the property with rolls, ham and drinks for us to enjoy. He popped around regularly and let us use the pool in their other villa next door for a couple of days. The villa was clean and we had our sheets and towels changed half way through our stay. The villa was a fairly short walk to the centre of Alvor and the location is easy for you to go on day trips. My parents joined us and We had enough room for 6 of us and enjoyed the outdoor eating area. It was exactly how it was shown on the website and was ideal for what we wanted.

The villa is 10/10 gorgeous. Tons of character and the surroundings are stunning. Location is great. Pool is wonderful. Jamie, who we later found out was owner Jim’s son, was great in assisting the booking. Very courteous and helpful. No issues. Despite all this, we wouldn’t be back because of Jim the owner. Day 1 his wife Nina, who was very accommodating, showed us around, and after having travelled all day and night from western Canada, we lay down in the bedrooms to nap. We’re later woken by Jim letting himself right into the house and looking for us. Very odd and intrusive. The next 3 mornings Jim would pop by, even walking into the house to check on us. Our kids (6 and 13) noticed him peering through the windows. The day before our departure, he came down to us at the pool and asked for a 30 in tourist tax. No mention of this in the contract, which I noted but this turned into an argument. I paid him just to be done with it. Jim then asked my husband how he turned on the air conditioning. My husband explained he just pushed the “on” button. “Well it’s a 60 charge per day to turn on the air conditioning”. No mention of this in the contract, on the policies in the home nor on the unit itself. My husband made the point that based on Jim’s logic, he could just arbitrarily set prices and expect us to pay. It was an incredibly uncomfortable interaction. It also proved that Jim had let himself into the house while we were out and had gone into our bedroom.
