5 Bedroom Villa in Monchique

Relva de Cima is situated at an altitude of 600m on the south side of Fóia mountain, the highest peak of the Sierra de Monchique mountain range 15 miles inland from the Algarve coastline. An unspoiled picturesque part of the Algarve that enjoys breathtaking views, irresistible local charm and excellent regional food. A three week holiday in 1993 travelling the length and breath of the Spanish and Portuguese coastline was enough to realise Monchique must be one of the most idyllic places the world has to offer. I fell in love. A month later I was the proud owner of a broken down vacated farm house – My retirement project! We moved from the bustle of Hong Kong and started the decade build in 2000. The property is surrounded by wild trees & land with an abundance of flora & fauna. A paradise for nature lovers, trekkers, conservationists & orienteers. Its remote roads and tracks offer a fantastic cycling and running environment. The garden started off as a front lawn but soon grew and grew as I couldn't resist developing it with my 25 year old digger !! Dry stone walls separate the different lawn tiers which replicate the traditional walls farmers used to section off their crops. The property itself was built around an existing old farm house constructed from granite and mud visible by the sheer thickness of the walls (up to 3 feet thick). Where possible, natural locally sourced materials were used hoping to create a timeless Algarvian environment. Being at an altitude of 600 meters, the sun can be very powerful during the day but offers cooler evenings and is that much fresher, and generally cooler than the coast, which can be very hot and muggy mid summer. Evenings can be spent sitting around the open outdoor fire and you have the advantage of cooler sleeping conditions. Many evenings have been spent simply star gazing, waiting for the shooting stars and spotting satellites moving across the crystal clear skies & listening to the crickets chirping happily in the background.

Summary: Our visit to this extraordinary villa was very memorable! The host, James was extremely kind and very helpful with details and information regarding the villa and local surroundings. The views are outstanding and ground were impeccable! The interior was very impressive but yet comfortable and very clean. Highly recommend this villa to anyone who wants to create memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you James for sharing.

Summary: 4 of us (adults/friends) stayed the month of April at the villa. James was the very best attentive host we could have ever asked for. Would definitely give this a 5 star rating!

Summary: Very very nice home
Janet H. Sep 15, 2024 04:19:36 AM
Summary: Two couples very much enjoyed our stay in this amazing place. The pool was wonderful and the villa very comfortable. We had a few problems with mosquitoes at night when the wind dropped but the owner has indicated he’ll fit nets over the beds in future. We’d certainly be happy to stay here again!!!
Helen E. Jul 31, 2024 04:35:59 PM
Summary: Immaculate! Spacious & well equipped. The slide by the pool is an inspired feature, even Grandad went down it! We were a family group, Nana, Grandad, Aunt, Neice & great neice and nephew (9 & 12). Nobody wanted to leave! 😎

Summary: We spent a week in this beautiful house that really exceeded our expectations. It was spotless and offered many amenitieis. We also loved the large pool and the slide! Men become little boys again. The garden is large and very well kept, and the view is stunning. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit capricious, so we needed to heat the pool for a couple of days which made it even more wonderful to use. James is a super and helpful host - ready to make everything pleasant for us. We can highly recommend this house which James has built with love and passion. Great job.

Summary: The owner was communicating with us, gave us all needed details. The property is beautiful and clean. With a big pool. There is nothing missing. The view is great, you can see the sea. I can only recommend it.
LORI C. Jun 24, 2023 03:45:29 AM
Summary: The house is beautiful: light, bright and spacious; spotlessly clean; very comfortable; and with everything you could want for your stay. The garden and the view are stunning, and the heated pool is wonderful. James was a warm, welcoming and communicative host. He really made us feel that nothing was too much trouble. This truly is a highly recommended holiday rental!

Summary: This Villa is the perfect get away. It is quiet, private, and relaxing. The views of the coast are spectacular! The home is very special. The decor is fun! It is very comfortable and spacious. We enjoyed the patio especially in the mornings. James was very helpful and accommodating. We had an excellent stay!
Susan H. Sep 29, 2022 12:02:41 AM
Summary: We are three couples who stayed here for an 11-day vacation in September 2022. The roomy villa and its pool and grounds are beautifully maintained with a lovely view. The outdoor seating area off the kitchen has an outdoor fireplace which we used on cooler evenings. You DO require a vehicle as it’s a 10 minute drive into Monchique for groceries and about a 45 minute drive to the south coast. It’s a good location for exploring the southwest Algarve or not going anywhere and just relaxing. James was welcoming and very easy to communicate with. We highly recommend!
