Villa Monte Rosa

Pool

Villa Monte Rosa is delightfully situated and offers beautiful views with complete privacy and bright, spacious accommodation, set within grounds of about 3 acres, midway between the villages of Azinheiro and Barranco do Sao Miguel, both of which are 3 minutes walk. The nearby towns of Estoi (8 minutes), Moncarapacho (10 minutes) Olhao (15 minutes) and Sao Bras de Alportel (8 minutes) have banks, shops, supermarkets, local outdoor markets and a wide range of excellent local restaurants. The Eastern Algarve is still unspoilt and relatively underdeveloped and offers a more relaxed atmosphere for those wishing to escape the bustle of the main tourist areas while still having access to glorious beaches frequented more by the locals. Ideally situated between the East and West Algarve Golf Courses. Please see the 'More Photos' page for a location map of the villa.

Further details
Villa Monte Rosa is situated on a lower ridge of the highest hill of the Eastern Algarve, known as São Miguel and enjoys beautiful sea views of the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve Islands. In this peaceful and relaxing location, Monte Rosa sits on the boundary of two small rural villages, surrounded by folding terraced foothills. Azinheiro, 3 mins walk to the West, has a small minimarket for everyday needs and a very friendly local Cafe Bar owned by Maria and Jose who both speak fluent English. To the East,  also 3 mins walk, lies Barranco do São Miguel, a small community with an original Portuguese Tasca (pub), where you step back 50 years as you enter. All this is just 20 mins drive from Faro airport and 15 mins from the nearest beach at the lovely fishing village of Fuseta.
