Peaceful, not isolated, hillside country villa , pool, stunning views
Monte das Pedras is a privately owned house situated in one acre of south facing hillside with panoramic views of the valley and village of Gorjöes beyond. The tranquil natural rock garden setting makes for an ideal 'get away from it all' holiday. Whilst secluded, it is ideally situated between the towns of São Bras de Alportel (a typical Algarvian town) and the well-known market town of Loulé. Good shopping and restaurants are all within 6 kilometres, with a superb French restaurant nearby. Extensive terracotta terraces surround the house and large private pool with furniture, sun-loungers and barbecue for al fresco dining. A roof terrace is ideal for sun-tanning or a cool evening place to view the Mediterranean sunsets and night sky. Shade is provided by bamboo covered terraces. The house is recently furnished in local pine with comfortable settees and an open fire for cooler evenings. French windows open onto the breakfast terrace with extensive views south across the olive groves

Monte das Pedras is situated down a quiet lane in beautiful countryside 20 minutes drive from Faro Airport, mid-way between Loulé and São Bras de Alportel. Set in one acre of hillside it has no neighbouring properties close by. Depending on the season it offers wonderful spring flowers, spectacular sunsets and good walking and birdwatching, certainly a place to unwind. North lie the mountains and conservation areas of cork oak and eucalyptus forests and the Alentejo, whilst the Spanish border is only 45 minutes east. It is 25 minutes from beaches and top class golf facilities at Val do Lobo and Quinta do Lago. There are a number of small food shops and bars in nearby Gorjöes, with a good French restaurant less that 2km away, and good supermarkets and restaurants in Loulé and São Bras de Alportel, no more than 6km away.
