About this property

The perfect getaway secluded location with pool on terrace.

The Stonehouse is a converted 2 bedroom detached farm house nestled in the hillside with private swimming pool and secluded south facing terrace with a panoramic view across tree tops towards Portimão, where the sea can be seen glistening on the horizon, yet is just minutes from the quaint market town of Monchique offering all the local amenities, restaurants, cafes, bars and free internet access in the internet Espacao and Library. Monchique has the added benefit of being only a 25-minute drive from the South Coast Beaches, or approximately 45 minutes from the more secluded and picturesque West Coast Beaches.
The Stonehouse offers comfort, space, character and as much seclusion as you desire. Restaurants and traditional bars are a few minutes’ drive away or make use of the stone BBQ on the terrace or fully equipped kitchen.
Entering through the kitchen to the spacious living room with dining table, 4 dining chairs, sofa, 2 armchairs, TV, Cd player & wood burning stove you can continue to enjoy the panoramic view.
Adjacent to the fully equipped kitchen which has a full electric cooker, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, Iron & board is a further bedroom which can accommodate 2 further people, either as a Double, Twin, or Single.
Downstairs is the main bedroom (5ft wide bed) & bathroom (bath with shower over bath) toilet and basin, also housing a washing machine. All ground floor windows are fitted with fly screens.
Across the terrace is a small private swimming pool, perfect for cooling off on those gloriously hot sunny days! or just relax and enjoy the view in the shade of the old olive tree.
A patio table, parasol, 4 chairs, 4 sun loungers and stone BBQ are provided. Terraced gardens with washing line. Hillside secluded location with stunning view.
Car parking space alongside of house.
For the winter months there is a log fire and oil filled radiators.
There is a weekly maid service.

Quiétude
A lovely villa with a pool, situated in a tranquil location offering stunning panoramic views. While the house is charming, it could benefit from some furniture renovations, especially in the bedrooms, and the addition of air conditioning for the summer months.

Schöne Lage, altmodisches Ambiente
Schöne Lage, Terrasse mit Olivenbaumschatten, Pool und schönem Ausblick werten dass doch sehr altmodische Interieur mit eingestaubten Kunstblumen und Häkeldecken auf. Perfekte Lage für Ausflüge zu den Küsten der Algarve.

vue à couper le souffle, Maison de charme
Emplacement idéal avec une vue à couper le souffleSur la côte de l’Algarve à l’horizon. Une terrasse très agréable pour dîner le soir même si malheureusement les conditions météorologiques n’étaient pas optimales durant notre séjour.

We purchased the Stonehouse in 2007 having spent a wonderful holiday there to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary.
We have continued to rent the property since we bought it and regularly visit to ensure the upkeep of the property is maintained.

Why they chose this property

Having never visited Portugal before we stayed at the Stonehouse to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary and fell in love with the house, location, and area. As fate had it, it turned out that the property was for sale, so on a whim we decided it was to good a chance too miss and bought it!
The Stonehouse offers seclusion and privacy yet is within close proximity to the quaint market town of Monchique that has all the amenities one requires when on holiday - cafes, restaurants, fruit/veg market, bank, chemist, butchers, souvenir shops and supermarket.
The view over the 'valley' towards Portimão and the south coast, just made us want to own this best of both worlds, seclusion but without being isolated. It is an ideal base to explore both the southern & western area of the Algarve.

What makes this property unique

The panoramic view from the private terrace and pool offering seclusion along with the unique layout of the property allowing the view to be enjoyed to the full.
