“Lovely laid back apartments”

Lovely place with a laid back feel. Away from the town but close enough to walk to. Self contained with all you need. The manager / owner was very helpful.

The accommodation is set in beautiful sorroundings, the host are incredibly and attentive and the Appartments are equipped with everything you need, you will want for nothing.

“Lovely location in refurbished farmhouse”

Wonderful location on an old farm in recently refurbished detached house 10 mins from beach but in fields with lots of bird life. the owner Pilar is super helpful but also discreet, beds were very comfy and house very cosy

Beautiful surroundings. Monte is like a small village, well take care of and very peaceful. They accept dogs, so it was a plus for us.

“Great family holiday in Monte da Lagoa”

Place is beautiful and villas are well equipped and nicely decorated. Great location, close to the beach and village, but still isolated and quiet. Pilar is a great, very attentive and accommodating host. We will certainly return!

“Looking forward to returning”

Quiet, nice gardens and fields. Functional kitchen.

Beautiful location very peaceful. Pilar the owner was lovely.

“Beautiful rustic Portugese charm and setting with an incredible hostess!”

The property and site were just phenomenal - the villas had real authentic and rustic Portugese charm, and you can see how much thought has gone into decorating each of them individually with such lovely and unique details. The view from the rooftop of our villa was stunning, and it was well-equipped with everything that we needed for our stay. The double bed was highly comfortable, too, and there was plenty of space for storage for us while we were there. Pilar could not have done more for us at all, even down to stocking our fridge so our toddler could eat when we arrived after a late flight. She is a truly exceptional host! The villa complex is a great distance from the local town and beach, and we were happy to stay local and walk everywhere as we wanted a relaxing family holiday to recharge our batteries. If you wanted to go further afield, renting a car or bicycles would be more beneficial, but Pilar even had recommendations for those, too! The plunge pool has incredible views of the sea, and is in really good condition with some chairs, loungers and cushions around it too. There was also a barbecue, launderette and airers available free of charge so that we could do emergency washing and drying (so, so helpful with a toddler in tow!). Thank you so much, again, for such an incredible stay. We will most definitely be back!!

“Another great time at Monte da Lagoa.”

Great location, easy to visit lots of local places. Close to the beach, restaurants and supermarkets. Pilar goes out of her way to help you have a great stay.

Perfect location, super quite, 10 minutes walk from a beach and city center. Nice rooms and kitchen with all amenities.

“A great stay and a great host”

Very rustic as described

The privacy and friendliness of the staff

“Full of character and rustic charm, in a fabulous location”

Monte de Lagoa consists of a group of charming rustic farm buildings that have been renovated to a very high standard. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable, beautifully decorated and full of character. They are in a lovely location, just a short walk to the beach, Altura centre and several restaurants. It was very nice being able to sit outside on our terrace and see the sea. Pilar was an exceptionally charming and helpful host and went out of her way to make us feel at home. Very dog friendly, with a nice field to walk around.

Spacious, in a quiet location with outside space

Pilar (host) very friendly and helpful. Good facilities Location ideal; easy walk to beach Very pleasant stay

“Just incredible…super host and wonderful stay”

This was an exceptional stay. From start to finish, Pilar made us most welcome. She was an extraordinary host, the house was incredible and it’s a perfect base to explore this side of the Algarve. I would highly recommend and for sure I will undoubtedly return. It was just brilliant in every way possible.

“Quiet rustic stay in Altura”

Host Pilar was friendly and helpful. Location was good and quiet on outskirts of Altura. Possible to walk into town but would be hot in middle of the day and easier to drive. Place is a converted farm with lots of outdoor space to relax and views.

“Beautiful stay and a very welcoming property”

Everything is taking care to the detail, beautiful surroundings and excellent decoration. My apartment had everything I needed for my family.

Very nice with several areas to hang out. Calm area with a lot of plants. Close to several beaches.

“Beautiful House in the Countryside just 5 Minute Drive to the Beach”

My friends and I had a lovely stay at Pilar's. The complex is a short 5min drive to the closest beach and there are also plenty of grocery stores and restaurants nearby as well. The house we stayed in had a beautiful patio so we could eat and drink outside and we also took advantage of the grill.
