In the garden at the front ofthe villa lies a secluded and gated swimming pool, surrounded by a leafy terrace and complete with sun beds and a BBQ area - ideal for long and relaxed lunches by the pool.

The property is well suited to small families or a group of friends to share. There is wireless internet access throughout. The house is within easy reach of the lively fishing village of Alvor, beautiful beaches and numerous golf courses and tennis clubs.

    We have just had the most wonderful week in Casa Monte! A stunning villa with lovely views, great pool and a short distance to Alvor with its many restaurants and bars. The villa itself is beautiful and utterly charming as too is it’s wonderful owner Jim! It was such a pleasure to meet him and hear the history of his farm, what a lovely man! We hope to be back!

    We spent 14 lovely days in the house, everything we needed was there, the facility was very clean and well maintained. On nice days, the tranquility of the complex is occasionally interrupted by the cheers of skydivers. We personally found this more interesting than annoying. The landlord Jim is always available to give advice and support in all areas. We couldn't find the WiFi problems noted by other tenants because we simply took the WiFi hotspot with us to the pool, for example. We would like to thank you for the wonderful time and can recommend the facility and the landlord 100%.

    Communication with the host was easy and we were given detailed directions from the airport. The host’s father was waiting for us at the property and he gave us a warm welcome and an extensive tour of the property with rolls, ham and drinks for us to enjoy. He popped around regularly and let us use the pool in their other villa next door for a couple of days. The villa was clean and we had our sheets and towels changed half way through our stay. The villa was a fairly short walk to the centre of Alvor and the location is easy for you to go on day trips. My parents joined us and We had enough room for 6 of us and enjoyed the outdoor eating area. It was exactly how it was shown on the website and was ideal for what we wanted.

    We stayed at O Monte for 10 days in June and it was just fabulous. From the surprise Welcome Pack of bread, wine, milk cheese,ham and the gorgeous salad, to the lovely warm welcome from Jim the next morning. The villa is huge and has lots of space for a family of 5, and plenty of areas to relax. The pool was great too and we had many BBQ's and relaxed nights in with extended family in the area. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Villa O'Monte, it's probably one of the nicest villas we've ever rented and a big hit with our family, which included two teenagers and a tween. Also, not too far from Alvor village which has plenty of nightlife and restaurants if needed.
