Mountain-side Villa with view to the coast, ideal to relax, complete with Pool.

Villa Golfinhos sits almost completely alone in a valley on a wooded hillside. It really makes the most of the peace and quiet, not to mention the fantastic views over the valley and distant sea. This villa has been designed with the views in mind. Large windows adorn the rooms, the French doors open on to a raised terrace, and even the pool comes with an impressive vista.

The pool at Villa Golfinhos is small but sweet (8mx4m), with pretty mosaic banding and Roman steps. It comes complete with a suntrap of a terrace. Although there’s a sense of being away from it all, the sweeping Algarve beaches can be reached in about half an hour by car.

A barbecue sits on the pool terrace – perfect for not only the odd al fresco meal, but also enjoying the panoramic views. The roomy dining-living area is lovely – contemporary but with a distinct Portuguese flair. The kitchen, meanwhile, is well-equipped.

Vacation in Algarve
Great Villa with lovely pool,which we used daily. House had everything we needed. Close to town with a sensational view all the way down to the Atlantic. Very quiet area with no traffic. On the negative side, better mattresses would be a improvement.

Peaceful escape in the hills
Location was fabulous with beautiful views from the balcony and an excellent base for walks along easy tracks with stunning views. The villa was well appointed with everything needed in the kitchen and comfortable furniture. The pool was really cold, but that was reflective of the weather at the time. There were a few minor points - the shower was good but the cubicle needs a bit of attention, the cd player doesnt work, there was no facility for bluetooth, apparently Portugal does not permit streaming of IPlayer and there were no board games so evenings after dark were quiet (worth taking a speaker) We also found the double bed exceptionally hard (would have purchased a mattress improver if we were staying longer) However such things were insignificant compared to the beauty of the scenery and the peace and tranquility.

Beautiful Location
Great location. Close to the beautiful town of Monchique. The villa had everything we required to have an enjoyable family holiday. The kids loved it and we're never out of the pool. Supermarket and restaurants were about 5min drive away in Monchique. Around a 30min drive to the coast and waterparks. It was very hot during our stay and air conditioning would have been a welcome addition as the fans provided did little to cool us down. We had an issue with ants in the kitchen, but managed to resolve this. The kitchen was dated but added to the feature of the home. The sun loungers need to be upgraded and some tiles came loose in the pool. Overall, a great stay. We would be happy to return.

a little paradies in the Monchique mountains
The villa is in a very quite location. The perfect spot to calm down and enjoy the nature of the beautiful area. The house comes with nearly everything you need. In the kitchen you'll find a coffee maker, microwave, oven, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The Dining and living room are spacious and you have the wonderful view overlooking the mountains. You can even see the ocean. On the terrace is a wonderful barbecue place just around the corner of the sitting area. So you won't get bothered by the smoke from the fire place. The pool is just awesome and there a enough sunbeds to work on your tan. Make sure you bring detergent for the washing machine.

Beautiful home with a view!
We really enjoyed our week at Casa Golfinhos. The property was as we expected ( clean, well-equipped kitchen, ..), fairly central for visiting the coastal towns, and the view, simply gorgeous! Thank you Maria :)
