Casa Estrelicia
in Monchique , Algarve
- On the hills of Serra de Monchique
- Charming dining terrace
- Sweeping country views
A charming house with possibly the best views in our programme.
From the secluded pool terrace to the pretty tree-shaded garden, this is a place to really get away from it all. Set in the Serra de Monchique hills, it’s surrounded by pine, eucalyptus and cork trees. And the views seem to go on forever. On a clear day you can see all the way to the coast.
With the successes of other Simply properties – Villa Golfinhos and Villa Pica Pau – under their belts, the owners knew what they were doing when they picked Casa Estrelicia. This one-storey villa is every bit as lovely.
Inside, it’s cool, calm and very stylish, with white-washed walls and terracotta tiles. Big squashy sofas and a wood-burning stove set into a stone fireplace give a very homely feel to the wide open-plan living and dining area. And the whole room is filled with light from two sets of French windows that lead onto a lovely dining terrace.
There’s no shortage of quiet spots to relax at this villa. The dining terrace extends right round the side of the house. And that’s before you step down to the swimming pool, sunk into yet another tiled terrace on a lower level below the villa.

Your guide to Monchique, Algarve
“Sensational views, mountain walks and pine forests – if that sounds like your type of holiday then let Monchique work its magic on you.”
Drive up the winding road to Monchique and you’ll catch the heady fragrance of pine, eucalyptus and mimosa from the woodland-cloaked hills. This sets the scene for one refreshingly rural holiday. Perched on the hillside, this is a market town in the true sense of the word. Every fortnight the local market transforms the town, with locals selling handicrafts and ceramics alongside regional hams and farmers’ produce. Look out too for the wooden chairs with a distinctive cross back which have been made around here since Roman times. Give your wallet a rest in the shady main square. Pull up a pew in one of the restaurants and sample some mountain dishes. Admire the pretty, white Parish church with its striking Manueline doorway. Or take one of the spectacular walks through orange orchards and pines to the peak of Picota – the views are amazing. Just down the road, the popular little spa resort of Caldas de Monchique is tucked into the valley. Once the bolt-hole of late 19th century, wealthy Spaniards coming here to take the waters, this pretty little village has now been restored to its former glory. Wander in and out of the boutiques and cafés, picnic beneath the pines, or walk up the valley alongside a burbling stream to the church or the spring. Bliss.
