Photos and Description of this Sao Bras de Alportel region holiday villa 1 double and 2 twin bedrooms, 1 Bathroom, 1 shower room. Sleeps max 6

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 restaurant nearby. Extensive terracotta terraces surround the house and 9X6.5m 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 grov

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.

Review Submitted: September 24, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Staying at the Villa was like a home from home. We all enjoyed the large pool, which was kept cleaned and well maintained by the local management personnel, as was the villa. The villa is in a great location, ie. quiet but within easy reach of Loule and a number of restaurants on the main road to Sao Bras Alportel, all of which are very good and resonably priced. Villa also in reach of a number of supermarkets. We really enjoyed our 2 week stay and in fact have already booked to go back in 2009.
