About this property

Light-flooded country house with large plot and panoramic view of the sea

Casa Monte Cabeça is a luxurious house in a traditional Algarve villa style. With a fine sense the Portuguese architectural style was brought under the workmanship of time-tested materials in line with today's demands for a house in the south of Europe. Tasteful furniture, colourful fabrics and selected accessories set beautiful accents in the interior.
This very spacious villa offers a lot of comfort to its guests in the interior. The three bedrooms each have a large queen-size bed, built-in wardrobes and pedestal fans. Each of the rooms has direct access to one of the many patios. From all the rooms in the house, you can enjoy the view of lush greenery. Wooden shutters on all the windows are offered in summer for a pleasant room temperature, so that in the well-insulated house air conditioning can be deliberately avoided. Two elegantly tiled bathrooms are available for the guests, one of which is en suite in the master bedroom.
Over the large hallway you enter in to the living area, which is divided into a kitchen and a living room. The two rooms are separated by a sliding glass door from each other. The fully equipped kitchen provides ample space and comfort to accommodate a family of 6. One dining table is there in the kitchen, another one is in the living room. The living room impresses with its high ceiling decorated with reed and large windows facing three different directions. From the comfortable leather couch you can either take a look into the romantic blazing furnace, or out into the beautiful garden, or focus on the big screen TV.

Around the house are completely wide, tiled and partly covered patios, where any time of the day sun or shade can be found. They are lined with fragrant herbs, flowering shrubs as well as palm trees and birds of paradise. In between, you can see the Atlantic sparkling. Over the refreshing outdoor shower paths lead across the large grounds with its typical trees. Thanks to the idyllic quiet location of the house this is the ideal place to recharge your cells and recover from the stresses of everyday life.

The jewel with its 17,500 m2 plot is situated in one of the many regions used for agriculture with small fruit and vegetable plantations, a few kilometres away from the lively town of Moncarapacho. Casa Monte Cabeça sits on a gentle hilltop and offers a 360° panoramic view, which can be enjoyed especially from the huge rooftop terrace. Towards north a broad valley dominates, at the end of which, the first hills of Serra rise up. Towards south the view sweeps over the evergreen coastal region and the vast Atlantic illuminates on the horizon alluringly. In between is the nature reserve of Ria Formosa, a large lagoon which is home to many rare species of flora and fauna. The offshore islands with their beautiful sandy beaches can be reached from the house in just 7-9 kilometres. From Fuseta there are ferries that ride in the summer months regularly to the island, behind Luz de Tavira the beach of Barril can be reached all year round on foot over a floating bridge or with a small little train.

Casa monte cabeça, nos vacances en Algarve
Maison très agréable, sans aucun vis à vis, un toit terrasse incroyable avec vue à 360°sur la mer et les environs , chemin d accès poussiéreux et caillouteux, avoir une voiture en conséquence, manque une climatisation vu les chaleurs et une piscine serait la cerise sur le gâteau, merci à jens pour son accueil très chaleureux

Landhaus mit Oasencharakter
Wir waren im Dezember in der Villa Cabeca und es war eine wunderbare Auszeit von dem tristen Grau in Deutschland. Die Villa verfügt über eine sehr gut ausgestattete Küche und eine äußerst gemütliches Wohnzimmer, welches durch den tollen Kamin auch ordentlich warm zu bekommen ist. Zum Meer mit seinen tollen Stränden der vorgelagerten Inseln ist es mit dem Auto nicht weit und auch die Fels-Algarve lässt sich in 45 Minuten leicht erreichen. Wir hatten eine tolle Woche.

Ambiance (presque) tropicale
Excellente propriété suffisamment isolée pour la tranquilité et l'intimité ! Une piscine aurait été la cerise sur le gateau au regard de la distance pour se rendre à la plage (Voiture obligatoire car mini 10KM) L'absence de climatisation est néanmoins le poste à prioriser Sinon, excellent sejour en famille !

Spring break at a wonderful place
All the information given online was what we found when we entered the surrounding and the house. The host was very kind and showed us the property and told us a little about the area. We had a great Spring break at the house and very much enjoyed the layout of the house, the convenience the kitchen and bathrooms offered but most of all the outdoor space.

Comfortable, well-equipped house in a beautiful site
Monte Cabeca is an amazing property. Even for well-travelled people, as is our case, this house beats many other properties (including 3+ star hotels) as far as value for money, overall quality, space, and available amenities. Superb host/managers who are not just kind, but attentive and responsive complete a very positive experience for us and our dog. Just be sure to have a car if you book this property, as this is a country house and the nearest store is 45 minutes on foot..

Entspannung in ländlicher Umgebung
Das Ferienhaus liegt ländlich auf einem großen baumbestandenen Anwesen ohne unmittelbare Nachbarschaft. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind in 5 min mit dem Auto erreichbar. Die Strände/ Fähren zu den Stränden der Ria Formosa und die größeren Orte Tavira und Olhao sind in 10/ 15 min erreichbar. Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet mit allem was man an Geschirr und Haushaltsgeräten braucht (auch WLAN und Sat-TV). Rund um das Haus sind mehrere Terrassen, so dass man zwischen Sonnen- und Schattenplätzen wechseln kann. Von der Dachterrasse hat man einen weiten Rundumblick auf die Landschaft, das Meer und die Berge. Der Kontakt mit der Vermieterfamilie Röver war unkompliziert und sehr freundlich. Vielen Dank für die Möglichkeit, uns in Ihrem Ferienhaus zu entspannen, wir kommen gerne wieder.

¡Cómo en casa!
Nos decidimos por esta casa después de leer todas las críticas tan buenas que tenía y acertamos. Sí, tienes que coger coche para comprar e ir a la playa (muy cerca), pero vale la pena porque es una casa llena de comodidades en un sitio perfecto. Incluso pudimos hacer rutas de running que pasaban por la zona.

Wonderful stay
Wonderful property, fantastic view and a very peaceful place. We have to enfasize the ecological concern of the house, namely solar panels and the fact that no air conditioning is needed due to the fantastic construction tipe and the beautiful doors and windows facing all directions. And finally we have to mention the great simpathy of our host, Jens. For sure, we will return to this house.

Did we find paradise ?
This house is wonderfully designed and built, from the general layout to the smallest details everything is close to perfection! Spotlessly clean in all aspects, stunning and various shaded terraces including a fantastic rooftop for enjoying the Milky Way at night ... Local supermarket nearby, small but well stocked with excellent meat, less than 10 'from Fuseta and various beaches, including one allowing dogs and within walking distance depending on the low tide schedule ... We really hope to come back !!!

Wir waren begeistert von dem Haus, super gepflegt, sauber und einfach schön gemacht. Die Betreuung von Rövers ist sehr nett und perfekt. Leider konnten wir nicht so gut schlafen, da die vielen Hunde in der Nachbarschaft die ganze Nacht bellten. Ansonsten alles bestens!

Sehr schönes Haus, umgeben von Pfanzen, wie in einer Oase! Alles tipptopp sauber, aber „einsam“
Die Umgebung machte gleich auf uns den Eindruck eher verlassen zu sein, viele Ruienen auf dem Weg dorthin! Aber unser erster Eindruck bestätigte sich nur partiell.... es gibt wunderbare Häuser in der Nähe und Tavira ist ein beeindruckender Ort!!! Sehr positiv fanden wir auch, dass es wahrscheinlich 100 Möglichkeiten gibt ans Meer zu kommen;-)! Wir fuhren Wassertaxi, Bimmelbahn, Fähre.... an das andere Ende der Lagune! (75ct pro Erwachsenen).... Zurück im Ferienhaus genossen wir die 3.5 untern Terassen, die Dachterasse (mega- groß) war uns zu sonnig im August! Und wir haben fast jeden Abend gegrillt, wunderbar ;-) Fischmarkt ist in 10min Entfernung, einkaufen auch! Das Haus war mit ALLEM ausgestattet was wir brauchten (Toaster, herkömmliche Espresso Maschiene, Eierbecher, Siebe, Tuppa- Dosen, Staubsauger,... alles was wir irgendwie, irgendwann suchten war da! Einen sehr subjektiven Punkt Abzug gibt es wirklich einzig und allein von mir (mein Mann hatte überhaupt kein Problem damit)....wegen der einsamen Lage... ;-(, sorry!

splendid isolation
Das Ferienhaus übertrifft die angezeigten Bilder und bietet dem Gast ein Zuhause abseits des eigenenen Zuhauses. Wir, Familie mit 2 Kindern, fühlten uns von der ersten Minuten wohl. Heidi und Jens Röver empfingen und herzlich und erklärten uns das Wenige erklärungsbedürftige. Die Lage ist traumhaft. Neben dem großen Grundstück mit Mandel-, Oliven und Johannisbrotbäume überzeugt insbesondere der 360 Ausblick von der Dachterasse hin zu Meer und Berge. Vom Haus aus erreicht man schnell Olhao und Tavira sowie über die Autobahn auch Spanien oder die Westalgarve. Wir und die Kinder hatten wirklich 2 erholsame Wochen. Das war ein großes Verdinest dieser wunderbaren Unterkunft. Andreas

Schönste Tage an der Ostalgarve zur Erholung
Wir haben schon viele Häuser gemietet und dieses gehörte zu den Besten, was Sauberkeit und Einrichtung betrifft. Danke, Herr Rövers für den netten, unkomplizierten Empfang sowie Ihre äussert schnelle und pragmatische Hilfe als der Kühlschrank ausfiel! Alle Fotos stimmen, und es gibt wirklich nichts auszusetzen. So haben wir (viel zu) viel Zeit im Haus und dem schönen Garten mit Sicht auf die Umgebung verbracht. Ein Auto wird natürlich unbedingt benötigt, und man kann sehr schöne Ziele anfahren. Auch gibt es ganz gute Restaurants in Santa Luzia (Tintenfisch und Meeresfrüchte). Der Strand Praia do Barril ist unbedingt empfehlenswert. Gerne kommen wir wieder, um uns hier verwöhnen zu lassen. Merci und ein lieber Gruß aus Zürich Daniel & Andre

Traumhaus!
Ich will mich kurzfassen und kann die abgegebenen Bewertungen nur bestätigen. Es ist wirklich ein Traumhaus! Die Beschreibungen können nur bedingt die Wohlfühlatmosphäre wiedergeben, die den Gast empfängt. Wir waren von dem Haus begeistert und haben eine wundervolle Zeit gehabt. Und wir haben den phantastischen Sonnenauf – und untergang auf der riesigen Terrasse genossen. Die Betreuung vor Ort ist sehr zuverlässig und von einer herzlichen Freundlichkeit.
