About this property

Beautiful Villa with pool and stunning views to the coast.

Villa Pica Pau (woodpecker) is situated on the quiet, pine-clad slopes of the gently rolling Serra de Monchique with arguably some of the best views imaginable, reaching all the way to the sea on clear days.

This compact one-storey villa sits just above a delightful pool, amid flourishing gardens. Pica Pau is comfortably furnished in neutral shades and well equipped.

If you are seeking a truly calm and relaxing holiday coupled with hypnotic views, this villa is an inspiring choice.

Wundervolle Casa Pica Pau
Sehr gepflegte und geschmackvoll eingerichtete Ferienvilla mit schönem Pool in toller Lage in den Bergen von Monchique; Aussicht über Portimao bis ans Meer. Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Eigentümer, denen sehr daran gelegen ist, dass sich ihre Gäste wohlfühlen. Eine wundervolle Oase an der Algarve. Hoher Erholungswert. Rundweg zu empfehlen!

Wunderschönes Haus mit fantastischem Ausblick
Das große und geräumige Haus (hohe Deckenhöhe, 3 große Schlafzimmer, großes Wohnzimmer, geeignet für 6 Erwachsene) hat eine wunderbare Lage am Hang mit Ausblick über die Landschaft auf das Meer (ca. 25 km). Von Monchique aus ist das Haus über eine abenteuerlich steile Straße in etwa 10 Minuten zu erreichen. Der hauseigene Pool ist sehr sauber und lädt zum Schwimmen ein. Frühstück auf der sonnigen Terrasse oder der Sonnenuntergang dort sind traumhaft schön! Wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen! Monchique ist ein schönes altes Dorf mit vielen guten Lokalen und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Die West- und Südküste sind durch gute Straßen relativ schnell zu erreichen, beide Küsten sind ein Traum! Wir können das Haus ohne Bedenken mit 5 Sternen bewerten.
