About this property

Stunning holiday villa with beautiful views, private pool, large garden

Quinta Vista da Montanha - 27092/AL

A modern, stylish, well furnished villa, perfect for relaxing with friends and family. This is the ideal holiday spot for all ages.

Ideally located on a hillside, the villa has a real feeling of privacy and enjoys stunning views of the mountains and the traditional Portuguese village of Porches, which is just over 1km away. There you can find the nearest amenities including a mini market, bakery/cafe, ATM machine and even a hairdresser. Armação de Pêra, with its long sandy beaches and water front restaurants is only 5km away and the famous Marinha and Benagil beaches, from where you can take a boat trip to explore the many caves, are just 7km from the villa. A short 700m stroll down the hill brings you to Porches Beer Garden, a great place for lunch or dinner with a fantastic atmosphere, suitable for all the family. Around the corner you will also find the famous Porches Pottery where you can pick up some handmade souvenirs or enjoy lunch in the beautiful Bacchus Bar. For those seeking the thrills of a waterpark, Aqualand is only 4km away, with Slide n' Splash and Zoo Marine also nearby.

Arriving at the villa, there are electric gates which open onto a private driveway, lined with oleander bushes. At the top there is a plenty of space for parking, including a covered carport, which houses a table tennis table. The front door leads to a spacious entrance with stairs up to the first floor master bedroom. This has a king size bed and en suite facilities including a corner bath. There are patio doors which lead out to a south facing first floor terrace with stunning views - a wonderful place to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening aperitif. On the ground floor there are two twin bedrooms, one of which is en suite with a walk in shower, WC and sink. There is also a separate WC/shower room. All bedrooms have AC/heating units, fitted wardrobes with ample hanging space and drawer units.

At the heart of the property, the 5m x 10m private pool is great for exercise and enjoyment. There is a poolside charcoal barbecue with outside dining furniture to allow you to while away the long summer evenings with a cheeky glass of the local wines. The villa is nestled amongst sub tropical gardens, with a variety of fruit trees and plenty of room for children to run and play.

Inside, the property is bright and airy with a real holiday feeling. The lounge and kitchen/dining area is open plan, with 2 sets of patio doors leading out onto a large terrace. The kitchen has all modern conveniences and a large table/breakfast bar. The lounge area has two comfortable sofas, a flat screen TV with IPTV - UK TV and 7 day catch up and free Wifi.

We love our Algarve home and hope that you will see why. The villa is managed for us in Portugal by Algarve Holiday Lettings and they will ensure that everything is ready for you and will be on hand to help with any enquiries that you have, to make your stay as wonderful as possible.

Rundum gelungener Urlaub
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Woche bei herrlichen Temperaturen. Das Haus bietet alles für einen schönen Aufenthalt. Küche gut ausgestattet, Zimmeraufteilung super und Zimmer bieten viel Platz. Für unseren Aufenthalt mit Baby bekamen wir ein Reisebett und ein Hochstuhl. Einziger Verbesserungsvorschlag wäre ein zweiter Sonnenschirm auf der Terrasse um dort etwas sonnengeschützer zu frühstücken. Autoanmietung ist ein Muss um die Umgebung zu erkunden. Haus liegt etwas abgelegen und recht ruhig. Wir würden es immer wieder buchen und hatten einen tollen Urlaub!

Great central location which allowed us to tour much of the Algarve. Close to all amenities and beaches. Would recommend a car for this location. Pool was well kept and fortunately we had great end of September and beginning of October weather. Extra activities included golf at Alto golf club and a nice boat tour out of Portimão. Auto dromo international race complex as well as lots of great hiking and cafes in many towns.

Amazing Property,, amazing break!
We stayed for just over 4x weeks and made some amazing memories. The property was quiet and secluded but only a 5 minute Uber or drive from a nice restaurant, bar or 10 mins to the beach! The grounds and pool were amazing and well maintained with sun throughout the day. Well located close to Carvoeiro and Porches, we had a great mixed break of eating out, cooking in the large kitchen and regular BBQ's. We will return!

Amazing stay
We had a fantastic stay here and everything was in easy reach of the villa. The whole property was very secure and the communication with Sam was excellent even when we had a moment with the gate. Property is very secluded. We only had one disturbed night due to dogs barking as there are lot within the area. Everything was very much though off and all information was available and in great detail in regards to how everything works within the property. Pool was fantastic and a perfect escape from the heat. Thank you for a last minute stay and allowing us to arrive earlier than stated check in time following our first villa which we were very disappointed in. This one was perfect.

Haus und Pool grundsätzlich schön, aber in die Jahre gekommen. Nachts sehr viel Hundelärm.
DIe Zimmeraufteilung und die Ausstattung im Haus ist sehr schön. Auch die Anordnung der Terrasse und des Pools ist schön. Allerdings könnte es in den Zimmern mehr Möglichkeiten zum Handtücher aufhängen geben. Die Schiebetür zur Terrasse lässt sich nur schwer öffnen und schließen. Das Türschloss im Schlafzimmer oben ist komplett defekt. Die Terrassenplatten kommen zum Teil sehr stark hoch und werden zu Stolperfallen. Den Mitarbeiter für Garten und Pool haben wir nicht einmal in der Woche gesehen. Den Pool und Umgebung mussten wir selbstständig sauber halten. Leider war der Pool nicht beheizt, sodass das Wasser Ende Oktober ziemlich kalt war. Somit konnte er trotz guten Wetters kaum genutzt werden. Wir sind ans Meer gefahren, da dieses wärmer war. Nervig war auch das ständige Hundegebell von den Nachbargrundstücken. Das hielt auch die ganze Nacht an. Dazu kam auch noch das minütliche Anspringen der Außenbeleuchtung durch die Bewegungsmeldern. Also keine entspannten Nächte. Und die Poobeleuchtung funktionierte automatisch nur von 20:15 - 0:00 Uhr. Die hätten wir uns auch schon 2 Stunden eher gewünscht. Alles in allem hätten wir für das Geld einen Urlaub ohne Mängel erwartet!

Beautiful Villa
This is a truly beautiful villa in a fabulous location. The pool is gorgeous and very private. We really enjoyed our stay. There were no spices or staples in the house which may be a result of COVID but it would be perfect if some minimal items were available (salt, pepper, starter coffee, laundry detergent etc)

We loved it!
The villa was perfect for us, (6 adults), the pool was so inviting and the setting is out of the way and yet an easy walk to Porches village with shops and restaurants. We visited various beaches & great restaurants further afield as well, Ubers were easy to come by. We all rated our holiday 10/10!

Stay in August 2022
The Villa was lovely and spacious and exactly as described. The Kitchen was well equipped with crockery and utensils. The pool was large and the perfect depth surrounded by beautiful garden. We had a great time relaxing by the pool every day which was secluded and peaceful and a bonus were the outdoor speakers for music. It was great to have air con in the bedrooms as the weather was hot, it would have been good to have one in the living room as that got a bit warm. We stayed 10 nights and the towels were supposed to be changed mid-way through, but not too much of a problem since there was a good washing machine. It would have been nice if the 10 night stay included a light clean mid way through as we experienced in other villas. Overall we definitely recommend staying here as the location is perfect and it really is a lovely villa.

Schöner Familienurlaub in toller Ferienvilla
Die Villa hat einen großen schönen Garten. Man wohnt dort ganz abgeschirmt und ruhig. Die Ausstattung ist top und läßt kaum Wünsche offen. Als Anregung würden wir einen zweiten Sonnenschirm auf der Frühstücksterrasse empfehlen, um dort morgens im Schatten sitzen zu können. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und besonders den schönen Pool genossen.

Lovely time in Portugal
Samantha & Bruno we're very helpful and communication was very good. Overall the property lived up to our expectations. Unfortunately when we arrived at 10pm we found the villa hadn't been cleaned since the last guests had left, after contacting the local agent, he arranged for the cleaner to come out. Our thanks to both Phillip and Marion for their help. Beautiful villa in lovely gardens with a stunning swimming pool.

Wunderschöner Aufenthalt
Wir waren 12 Nächte in dem wunderschönen Ferienhaus und können den Aufenthalt als sehr positiv bewerten. Das Haus, die Umgebung und auch der Service sind top. Besonders gut hat uns der große Pool und der schöne Garten gefallen. Einen kleinen Verbesserungsvorschlag hätten wir noch: Da wir erst gegen 10.00 Uhr gefrühstückt haben, war es leider am Esstisch auf der Terrasse schon zu warm. Hier wäre ein zusätzlicher Sonnenschirm hilfreich…

Great Algarve villa
Just returned from 7 nights in Sam & Bruno's wonderful Villa. The villa is 10-15 min drive away from the the main costal towns and beeches which means the Villa is in a very quite location with spacious grounds whilst offering easy access. Everything you need for a stay is provided; directions and access instructions were excellent and we had a wonderful time. We wouldnt hesitate in booking again.

About the host

Hosted by Samantha

Host profile image
Having spent many years travelling far and wide and living in different countries around the world, I fell in love with the gorgeous Algarve. I love the bright, vibrant colours and the fact that you are never far from another stunning beach.

Why they chose this property

During the property search I made many trips to the area and looked at lots of different villas and apartments. The moment I drove up the driveway to Quinta Vista da Montanha, I knew that this was the one for me and my girls. It is such a special place. It is very private and secluded, without feeling isolated. You cannot see any neighbours from within the grounds and they cannot see you. You are close enough to the best that the Algarve has to offer whilst staying in your own corner of paradise. I wanted somewhere that I could come to enjoy quality time chilling with friends and family and this is the perfect spot. The pool is long and deep enough to swim lengths in and a perfect place for the children to play. I loved the indoor/outdoor living opportunities that the house provides - as soon as we arrive, we open the patio doors out to the terrace and use the spacious terraces, garden and pool area as an extension of the house. I have decorated throughout and have tried to ensure that you have all home comforts here but really feel that you are on holiday.
