Our 2 week stay at Monte Calicos was fabulous. Having holidayed in the Eastern Algarve for the last 5 years we have to say that this is the most well equipped and situated villa we've ever stayed in; the amenities, the pool, gardens, bbq area, big shady verandas, and beautiful views made this a perfect place for us to stay. Everything was clean and well maintained. Tim & Sharon have thoughtfully equipped the kitchen, we did lots of cooking in our party of 8 and we had everything we needed. Great sound system too! There are restaurants within walking distance in Moncarapacho or a short drive away, all are very reasonably priced and the food can not be faulted - Colibri and 'Maria's' were our favourites. There is a beach a short drive away at Fuseta and a 5 min boat ride to the island with its spectacular sandy beach - a favourite with the kids. We also spent some lunchtimes at Villa Monte (golf / hotel 5 mins walk from villa) for cocktails and light lunch and kids enjoyed the pools there. We recommend the fish festival in Olhao which takes place in August and a visit to the local markets is quite an experience. We also loved Tavira - a beautiful riverside town, the road train takes quite a long time but tours all round the new and old parts of the town. We can thoroughly recommend this fabulous villa and have booked to stay here again. Our thanks to Tim and Sharon who provided great customer service, answered all our questions and took care to ensure we all enjoyed our stay.

Thank you so much Sharon & Tim for our stay at your wonderful villa, it exceeded all of our expectations. The villa is very well designed and equipped. The gardens are really pretty and I loved the opportunity of being able to walk at leisure through the orchard over your extensive grounds. The location is even better than you described and we loved the walk into Moncarapacho. The men went off golfing to several different courses which kept them happy! We enjoyed sitting by the pool and sampling the occassional glass of wine. The weather during our stay was great, we didnt see a cloud all week. Thanks for the list of restaurants, we really enjoyed Colibri but Antonio's homemade pate really takes some beating What a fantastic unspoilt area of the Eastern Algarve, We will be returning!
