The Experience

This elegant house is tucked away at the end of a track lined with cork and eucalyptus trees and feels very secluded, but the quaint town of Monchique is just a five-minute drive and you can walk to two restaurants in 10 minutes.

Find plenty of different areas to spread out in – a sitting room with games, books and an open fire, a terrace overlooking the magnificent garden, which rolls down towards distant views of the sea. Orange and lemon trees add heavenly aromas, and you’ll find a tennis court, heated pool and summer kitchen, as well as a vine-covered seating area to the side of the house.

This part of the Algarve is peaceful and the hills above Monchique are a protected natural reserve with trails you can hike or bike. The beach is 30 minutes away or you can drive to the Costa Vicentina in an hour, for more beaches and wilder surf.

Reviews

Our time at The Pink House was like a fantasy. Each morning waking up to those incredible views from our bedrooms; strolling through the blossom laden gardens that went on and on, picking fruit and vegetables as we strolled felt like a dream. Our days were filled with exploring the coastal towns and charming Monchique... and in the evening we would have dinner on the luxurious patio enjoying the twinking lights of those towns, and recounting our day over a glass of wine with the occasional shooting star. Our favorite days were just spent at the house enjoying all it had to offer.

We were greeted by the scents of eucalyptus and citrus as we arrived, and 'wowed' by the spectacular garden with sea views. This is a peaceful spot yet within an easy distance of Monchique. The ideal place to relax with friends or family

Location

The neighbourhood

The long-distance hiking trail 'Via Algarviana', which starts in Sagres in the south-west and ends at the Spanish border, passes by the Pink House and will take you into the mountains. Nearby Monchique has quaint cobbled streets and a central square lined with cafes and restaurants from which you can watch the bustle of local daily life. As well as restaurants, the town has a butcher and a wine shop.
