Gorgeous and quiet retreat
Lovely place, charming town. My family and I enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and the use of the outside space and pool. A great stay away from the noise and chaos of big cities. Fully stocked home with thoughtful extras such as juice, milk, and snacks to get us started. One thing to note is that the pool draws a good number of insects, such as bees and wasps. If you are allergic be mindful of this. The beds are very firm, but if you are used to this it's no problem. Overall a really perfect place, even better than listing seemed to show.

Lovely peaceful holiday
We had a wonderful week at Casa Pica Pau. The location is very quiet with a stunning view to the sea. The children loved the pool, and the weather was hot but the villa remained cool through the day. Being provided with lots of towels for in doors and for the pool was a lovely bonus. The only very minor comment is it would have been helpful to have been provided with a few extra basic essentials on arrival (eg a couple of spare bin liners and a dish cloth and a little washing up liquid) just to cover us until we could go shopping. Otherwise , we seriously couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and enjoy our holiday in Portugal. Thank you so much.

Quiet peaceful house
A lovely, away from it all stay at this house. Very well equipped for all our needs. A perfect place for our 1 year old grandson to explore . Monchique is very nice, lots of restaurants, we liked Jardim das Oliveiras! We really enjoyed the beach at Aljezur, no sun lounges there, just a vast expanse of sand, good to watch the surfing. Lovely views of the coast from the house and pool area, would definitely return.

Fabulous views at a lovely villa
We loved our stay here it was so quiet and relaxing with a lovely fire to come home to on the cold evenings making it very cosy and warm. Thanks to maria for showing us some different routes to get back to villa there are lots of little roads to choose from and for helping us with the fire when we failed to get it going one night! We would love to come back maybe at a different time of the year so we could use the pool :)

Beautiful location but compromised by the recent fires.
Property provides perfect location for a quiet getaway. It is well designed and fitted out but let down by beds that are not comfortable.

Fantastic view
As always a wonderful view, a house to rest, to read and do exercise at the pool. Although this year, the property has the same beauty, the fires in Monchique did not help much.
