About this property

Immaculate & luxurious modern Villa, Infinity Pool & Spa (sleeps 10) free Wi-fi

Our Villa is located on the fringes of Cerro Azul Resort, Nr. Olhão and Moncarapacho in the sunny Eastern Algarve region of Portugal.

Located in a beautiful and traditional unspoilt countryside location within 10-15 mins drive to some of the best Golf courses, white sandy Beaches and stunning Restaurants serving some of the best local and international cuisine.

"Monte Vista" is a beautiful spacious luxury family villa, with 4 large bedrooms and 3 luxury bathrooms (2 en-suite), which comfortably sleeps up to 10 people.

Purpose designed & built to perfection for two families with 4 kids!

There is air conditioning in all of the rooms to allow a good nights sleep and free Wi-Fi for those who must post their epic dive on Instagram or show off their tan on Facebook.

It has a private and luxurious 10m x 5m South facing Infinity pool with a constant depth of 1.2m overall, giving maximum sun exposure from sunrise to sunset.

Encompassed within 1.5 acres of private natural gardens with 1.8m high hand-built traditional stone walls to keep you secluded and the paparazzi at bay.

The pool terrace is fully furnished and expansive with purpose built BBQ area and external dining area, and is fully equipped with sun-beds and separate relaxation sofas for the cheeky Bombay and tonic or three with a slice of lemon hand picked from your very own trees within the grounds

There is plenty of things to keep you and the kids entertained with the infinity pool and 12 person spa for the closest of friends, pool table, dart board and artificial games lawn for the energetic amongst you for ball sports such as volleyball, tennis, football and bowls.

Enough fun for everyone of all ages, whether your their to relax with a book in the shade under the canopy of the ancient trees or to enjoy the remoteness and make as much noise as you like.

This is due to the secluded location with no neighbours overlooking you as there are only five properties in the surrounding vicinity.

The villa is gated with lots of off road parking for up to eight vehicles and boats.

Locate just on the outskirts of the beautiful village of Moncarapacho for steak cooked over volcanic stone at Colibris or the best chicken Peri Peri in Olhao.

The villa is centrally located between both towns and within a short five minute drive and is host to numerous other wonderful restaurants and bars.

Olhao is famous as the main fishing marina for the Algarve and the fish market supplies fish to the whole of the Algarves restaurants so you cant get fresher as its travelled all of forty feet from the shore to your plate!

Many unspoilt white sandy beaches stretch for miles in the protected Ria Formosa and the Local beach at Fuseta is reported to be the best beach in the whole of the Algarve and the Telegraph reports Tavira beach as the fourth best in the whole of Europe!

For the golfers amongst you, you are centrally located between 42 of the Algarves best golf courses and all are within a thirty minute drive, including Monte Rei, San Lorenzo, Oceanico and Quinta do Lago, the algarves top five golf course which are rated as some of the best in Europe are all on your doorstep.

Why not come and enjoy all the unspoilt Eastern Algarve has to offer with lovely countryside, empty white sand beaches, low prices with no looky-looky men allowing you de-stress in seconds upon arrival !!!!

Activity and Interests

Coast/Beach:

Fuseta with its wonderful lagoon beach is only 5 miles away with ferry boats to wonderful unspoilt beaches & islands. There are boats from Olhao, Cabanas and Tavira which take you to wonderful deserted island beaches. Tavira beach island has been voted 4th best beach in Europe! (Telegraph June 2005).

The bigger, noisier Central Algarve beaches, water parks & go karting, etc, attractions are only 30 mins drive away, if that is your wish. Then you can return to the peace and tranquillity of the villa!

Travel:

Car hire essential to enjoy the villa and allow you to explore the area to its fullest.

Faro airport is approximately 20 - 25 mins drive away via the N125 coast road or the newly built A22 Motorway. We are located at the foot of San Miguel mountain which is easily recognised from the tall antenna masts and is noted as the highest mountain in the Algarve region.

Distances:

Within easy distance are Tavira (regarded as the loveliest town in the Algarve), Estoi (with its Rococo palace and Roman ruins), Olhao (fishing port), Fresh fruit, veg and fish markets, wonderful restaurants and of course Faro with its fine shopping malls and walled city.

Come and enjoy many aspects of the unspoilt Eastern Algarve. Fish, meat, beers and wine are plentiful and all low cost............why you would want to go any where else?

We stayed for 2 weeks in July 2022 and had a fantastic time. Air conditioning wasn't working in one room on our arrival but was sorted after reporting it to the manager although it took a few days as the guys were so busy. A couple of other issues were sorted quickly. The villa is beautiful, spacious and of great quality with lots of extras such as toys for children, books etc. The bedrooms were good sizes, the kitchen very well equipped. Everything we needed was there. Location was beautiful and very easy access to main towns and tourist attractions of The Algarve but you do need a car. Overall I would highly recommend this villa.

The property is very good.
The property is very good, but it's on an unnamed road to getting taxis or anything like that is very very difficult. We had to walk round the corner to another address to get picked up and then drive to the property to collect the rest of the family. Everything else was really good

About the host

Hosted by Vicki Ferrari

Host profile image
We were a regular visitor to the Algarve region before we had kids which made a nice escape from our busy lives in London & Essex.
With the addition of Keira & Ella we new it would be a good place to have a second residence for family holidays so we looked in 2008 to find a suitable plot to build our dream villa.
Sean's been in construction since school and now runs his own successful development company and designs & build luxury indoor swimming pools and basements for the rich and famous in town and I spent many years in the city before having the children and now work within the family business.

Why they chose this property

We found the plot and new we could deliver something special here.
Remote enough to be away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to be a short drive to anywhere.
The location is peaceful and private, but will allow you to be as noisy as you want which I can assure you our kids are experts at believe me!
We designed and built the villa in 2008 with the brief of allowing two families to co-habit with ease, which made perfect sense for us as we often holiday with friends or family.
The villa design is perfect in this scenario and allowed the reduced cost for future rental use to be met as the rental cost could be split between two families.

What makes this property unique

As we designed and built the villa it was purpose built to be traditional on the outside but with a modern and contemporary interior.
We knew the way we would want to use it so we included the large 10m Infinity pool with 12 person spa and kiddies pool which is very unique with cascades and jumping jets the kids simply love it.
This allows the whole family to use the pool which has a constant depth of 1.2m all over, relax in the spa or for those with small children we have built the separate kiddies pool which is like a bath in the wonderful Algarvian sun.

The villa sits in large expansive natural grounds within the unspoilt location and a 1.8m high hand-built traditional stone wall surrounds the property to keep the family villa and grounds completely secluded & private.

We have a large entertaining terrace and artificial grass lawn for activities & sports as well as areas of natural garden for relaxation as the site is so large.
This allows you to entertain very comfortably and the whole place was designed for family fun and entertaining.
