Peaceful place with spectacular views, away from the crowds

The house is spacious and nicely furnished with a wonderful outside patio and private pool. There are lots of interesting places to visit nearby and for those who like to walk a good choice of trails, both in the hills and on the nearby coast. Provisions for self catering can be found in Monchique or in some of the towns close by. Weather was very warm for our stay, and the greenery and shade around the house kept it comfortable, and cool enough for sleeping .

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.

Pleasant

We had a pleasant stay. The location and the terrace area is very nice, but inside the house could perhaps use some updating. The lounge and main bedroom are spacious. The second bedroom got very hot [it was 38c each day], and the kitchen had minimal counter space and a small fridge. More toilet rolls, bin liners, etc were needed.

Loved it!

My husband and I spent 4 nights at the Stonehouse during our 2 week trip around the southern part of Portugal. The only complaint I have is that we didn't have enough time here. We did several day trips i.e. to Albuferia for a cruise, to Salema, etc. It was about 40 minutes to these sites. Then we got to return the Stonehouse to relax for the evening to relax. The nearby town of Monchique had a grocery store so we stocked up on what we needed there. We had an evening meal in the town a couple of nights. Meals were delicious and reasonably priced. Sadly, I don't have the names of the places we choose. My bad....The house had everything we needed to prepare meals if we chose to. So much information in the binders at the house about local attractions, maps, restaurants. Those were an excellent resource. The house is in a very quiet location. I honestly wasn't sure our GPS knew what it was doing when we were first heading there. But we were rewarded at the end of the drive. I would recommend this location for a couple looking for a quiet relaxing visit to the area. The outdoor seating area and pool were just so perfect with the lovely view of the valley below. I can't say enough positive things. I would love to go back someday. We shall see. Thank you to Mark & Sharon for offering this place to travelers to this area. We certainly enjoyed our time at the Stonehouse.

Sejour à Monchique

Points positifs : -Tres joli emplacement avec une superbe vue sur la montagne et mer. -Endroit calme. -Maison avec du caractere. -Documentations sur la region particulierement fournies. Points negatifs : -Check in sans presence physique (merci beaucoup à la dame qui nous a guide) pour 2 semaines de sejour. La 1ere fois que cela survient avec Abritel. -La chambre du 1er etage n'est pas equipee des rideaux necessaires pour une chambre à coucher. -La terrasse est en mauvais etat : transats en mauvais etat,eclairage manquant pour diner dehors. -La piscine ne permet pas de nager; c'est un bassin.

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.

Melhor sitio para descansar

Adoramos a casa e a localidade, se o que precisavamos era estar isolados da vida de cidade, este foi sem duvida o sitio melhor que encontramos. A casa não tivemos grandes surpresas uma vez que as fotografias fazem jus a aquilo que é. O caminho é um bocadinho difícil de se fazer a noite pois não o conheciamos e por isso e algo assustador. Um grande obrigado Mark and Sharon

Excellent holiday property

This is a great property as described - the location is very peaceful and overlooks the hills down to the coastline. Has all facilities and equipment needed, whether it's a quiet stay or active holiday. Pool is plenty big enough for a quick cool down and the outside area is very useful. Monchique is close enough for a 10 minute taxi ride with several restaurants. We walked to a pizza place (around 20 minutes) but make sure it's before sunset! Highly recommended to stay here.

3 noites / 4 dias extremamente tranquilos

Foi uma passagem breve mas acertada. A localização da Stonehouse é encantadora. Tudo correu como esperado e até superou as expectativas. Casa limpa, espaços amplos, acessos fáceis (ainda que peculiares), silêncio, boa vizinhança (imperceptível), e uma “piscina” com a dimensão correcta. Fica a vontade de repetir!

Gostei Muito

Casa muito agradável num sitio bonito e sossegado. Tem uma vista deslumbrante sobre a costa de Portimão e um céu nocturno ao mesmo nível em que, por ausência de poluição luminosa, se vislumbra a via láctea. Apenas senti falta de uma luz mais forte no quintal que permita refeições nocturnas e auxilie na churrasqueira. O bonito quintal, por ter muitos vasos com plantas (para além da maravilhosa oliveira), apresentava-se com muitas folhas caídas no chão e merecia outra apresentação. Nada que não tivesse ficado resolvido com uma boa mangueirada. Uma atenção especial aos sobreiros queimados por cima da piscina pois, num dia de um pouco mais vento, partiu-se um ramo que caiu dentro da piscina, onde não estava ninguém, por sorte. Deveriam abater todas as arvores queimadas que estão naquela encosta.

Quiet and peaceful

The property was exactly as described so there were no unexpected surprises. The property was in quiet peaceful location on a hillside with great views over the countryside all the way to the coast. The kitchen was well appointed with plenty of utensils. The pool was not large but was ideal and very welcome to cool off in during the day. Even the the house seemed remote the village of Monichique was only 10 minutes drive where there is a supermarket which has everything you need for you stay.There are restaurants and here too. Communications withe Mark and Sharon were fast and responsive.

The Stonehouse

What a fantastic place to get away from everyday life & enjoy the peace & beautiful setting that the Stonehouse offers. Very well equipped with everything you need & spotlessly clean. Ana Paula who lives locally takes great pride in the upkeep of both interior & outside on the patio terrace. The directions we received from Mark & Sharon were easily followed & accurate. Definitely would like to revisit with a huge thank you to Mark &Sharon & of course to the lovely Ana Paula who is fantastic

Interessantes Haus

Das Haus hat ein gewisses Flair! Leider ist die Küche etwas in die Jahre gekommen und einige Vorurlauber halten es mit der Sauberkeit nicht so ernst. Vielleicht hätte auch nach der Winterruhe mal eine Komplettreinigung der Küche durchgeführt werden müssen. Die anderen Räume sind in Ordnung. Der auf den Bildern noch groß da stehende Olivenbaum ist leider stark zurück geschnitten wurden, (Waldbrand 2018?) und man hat nicht mehr sehr viel Schatten. Die Matrazen sind fest, wir haben sehr gut geschlafen. Alles andere ist nach portugisischen Verhältnissen sehr ordentlich. Das Haus ist für ein Paar, auch mit 2 Kindern, empfehlenswert. Man sollte aber die Abgeschiedenheit lieben! Uns hat es gut gefallen.
