By Emma Tudor Stayed 19-Jun-2023 Mary was kind and accommodating from the first time I contacted her. The villas are beautifully traditional, the views are amazing. We loved the pool and exploring the local areas, we enjoyed it so much that we are returning next year.
We have stayed at Monte Velho many times and just can’t wait to go back. Casa Catarina is one of our favourites. It’s ideal for two and has an annex for two more. Lovely pool and stunning views also some lovely walks. Mary and Bill are the kindest and laidback hosts you will ever meet so don’t think about it book it. M&M
We had 3 wonderful apartments with a gorgeous view along the shore. The pool is great! And last but not least our amazing hosts Mary and Treasa, thank you for the warm welcome. It wasn't our last stay at Monte Velho.
We've been to Monte Velho for three weeks in August. We felt save, because the Portuguese are very disciplined with Corona rules. At Mary's houses you can feel save too. There is enough space for all guests and there is no risk like in hotels. We sometimes left some crowded beaches, especially on weekends but found some others with beautiful water and enough space. Even our children want to go back to Monte Velho. They enjoyed the pool, the beautiful views and the nice owners.
Review #25220389 “ Seaview, Quiet 5-Acre Hilltop, 3 villas, 2 bedrooms each” A place you'll definitely want to return to again! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We have regularly stayed at Monte Velho for a number of years, that in itself speaks volumes not only for the property but for Mary and Bill who are excellent hosts, always on hand should you need them but in no way intrusive. These days it's just my wife and I so we always stay in Casa Catarina which is ideal for two but has the option of a second bedroom should we manage to pursuade our "kids" to come to. The overall property provides magnificent views out to the coast , with the gardens providing a perfect setting for the pool. This truly is a retreat and an ideal place to relax, soak up the sun or dip in that pool. The Casa whilst being equipped with everything you need has a rustic charm that is very endearing. You can only love this place. Each Casa has it's own patio for sunbathing and eating al fresco. You could'nt ask for more! Moncarapacho is just a few minutes drive and provides food shopping, the usual village market and a number of restaurants. Two of which are located in the square, a perfect place to unwind in the evening after a day at the beach or just playing tourist. The beaches in the east of Algarve are amazing, flat beautiful and go on for ever, you are never going to get crowds here. Take a ferry trip out to one of the islands off Fuseta and you won't be disappointed. The whole coast line is ripe for exploring. Don't miss Praia do Barril and Praia de Cabanas which is on the east side of Tavira. This year 2019 we hope to explore the coastal lagoons and attempt some bird watching. I cannot recommend Monte Velho highly enough, make that booking you will not regret a moment Date of arrival 04 June 2018
: We just ended our 2nd stay with Mary & Bill & family at Monte Velho, and we are already planning a return trip. The villas are gorgeously built and appointed, with every need and convenience you can imagine (down to sunhats and sunlotion and condiments for cooking). They are spacious and comfortable and quiet, and with the patio, pool and gardens, they provide the perfect retreat from day trips around the Algarve. We have brought our baby (now toddler) twice, and he loves it, too. We cannot recommend highly enough! •
