It sleeps 2 in the cottage and two in the annex both have 6ft beds they both can be divided into two singles) so
Easily four people….altogether


Kettle/coffee facilities and fridge (I supply a bottle of wine and beers for the en-suite as well as the cottage. Neither is let to separate people so not unexpected surprises and you have the pool to yourselves as well.


This ‘extra bedroom’ is in fact the whole bottom floor. It has a very large room which opens out through sliding glass doors onto a very large private patio. There is a fridge, washing machine, a microwave and bathroom with a shower. It is totally private and has its own entrance/front door. and is totally separate from the cottage…obviously I only let it friends who are staying in the cottage. And everyone goes round to the cottage for barbecues etc.,

Peaceful, relaxing and quiet.

By Stephen P on 30-Sep-2023

Very private accomodation with no disturbance apart from the odd visit from a very friendly Bear (not that kind). Who can be kept away if you so wish. We would normally go to Lidl and stock up before we arrive at a property but Joan warned us to see what our welcome pack consisted of first. I''''m glad we heeded her advice as it kept us going for a couple of days. I''''ll not go into details as I''''m sure it changes with seasonal availability but I guarantee it won''''t be disappointing. The studio/cottage has all a cook needs in the kitchen and outside you have a choice of a charcoal or gas BBQ. One fridge outside and another inside gives enough room for fresh food and drink. Privacy is high on the agenda with Joan keeping out of the way unless you want to speak to her but she is very welcoming and attentive of any requests. The pool is close to the accommodation, up a few steps. It''''s adjoined to the main villa but very private and peaceful - no interruptions again. Joan apologised for the weather, so I''''m holding her responsible for the sunshine on our next visit as we''''ll definitely be back and I''''m looking forward to a social drink with her because I know she''''s sitting on some excellent tales. Thanks Joan for being a wonderful host and look after yourself! Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023

A haven in the hills

By N Dahl on 12-Sep-2023

Wow what a place to spend a week! The cottage is delightful, views amazing day and night, huge pool in lovely gardens and patio area. Joan our host and Xana her friend are really lovely people. From before we arrived everything was sorted with full instructions on how to find the property. When we did arrive the welcome package was AMAZING!! Quite used to getting nothing on arrival, well we had a roast chicken, pork stroganoff, salad, water, wine, bread , eggs and ice plus a fab stock cupboard full of useful bits. In short, the place is excellent. Clean, quiet and simple. What more do you need…. Lovely local restaurants, supermarket 5 mins away, you do need a car. Shared G&T’s with Joan on a couple of evenings. What a lady, wish we had longer, we will be back. Dahl N., UK 12 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness

Fantastic accommodation in a stunning location.

By Barry B on 31-Aug-2023

The cottage is in a fantastic location, only 30 mins from Faro airport and the charming towns of Loule, Olhoa, Fuseta and Tavira, set on high ground with uninterrupted views to the coast. We arrived to find the accommodation immaculately clean, and it included a very well equipped kitchen, 2 barbeques and a huge marble table on the terrace where we spent many relaxing evenings. The icing on the cake was the very generous welcome pack that Joan provided, which included a couple of delicious home cooked meals and enough other food and drink to keep us going for a number of days. The pool is excellent, located only a few steps up from the apartment, easily the largest we have enjoyed in a private hiring, with loads of sun loungers to choose from and amazing views towards the east Algarve coast. Joan is a charming host, very discreet but readily available if we required any advice about local places to visit. We had a couple of hugely enjoyable evenings in her company sharing a bottle of wine. True to Joan''''s word, we were the only guests and had the place to ourselves. All in all, we absolutely loved our stay. It was very relaxing and stress free, largely thanks to the huge effort Joan had put into making the cottage comfortable and well appointed. We like to travel to different places, but having enjoyed our time here so much we are already talking about when we can return to Casa Monte do Cerro for another stay. Thank you Joan for a wonderful holiday! Barry B. 31 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness 10/10 Excellent
