You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lovely Villa, perfect for a relaxing vacation, with pool and view to the coast.

Set in the Serra de Monchique hills, Villa Casa Estrelicia is surrounded by pine, eucalyptus and cork trees. And the views seem to go on forever – on a clear day even the coast can be glimpsed. There’s no shortage of quiet spots to relax at this villa. The dining terrace extends right round the side of the house, with steps leading down to the pool.

The swimming pool at Villa Casa Estrelicia is sunk into a tiled terrace stocked with loungers and parasols. In front of the pool, the hillside dips down into sweeping views of the countryside.

A wood-burning stove set into a stone fireplace gives a homely feel to the open-plan dining and living area, a spacious area with comfy sofas. And two sets of French windows lead onto the lovely dining terrace. The kitchenette at Villa Casa Estrelicia serves up a good-sized cooker, microwave and fridge-freezer. Meanwhile, a barbecue weighs anchor outside.

Holiday near Monchique
We had a lovely two weeks in this property. The view was spectacular, the outside areas and pool were great with the balcony comfortable and shady. Inside the house felt spacious and the kitchen well equipped. Lots to do within an easy drive. We found Portugal good value for money with great food and friendly people, we will return.

Peaceful with great views
Lovely place, (takes a little finding) tucked away with stunning views out to the sea. Would highly recommend this place if you want a little time to relax. Just a little FYI, take everything, there is nothing supplied, obviously towels & bedding are, but nothing else. I don't know if this is norm but we've stayed in many VRBO homes and this is the 1st without salt & pepper or only 1 loo roll 😆 (Intermarché in Monchique is excellent) However, don't let that put you off it's well worth it.

A beautiful villa
An outstanding villa with the best views. Very private place, spotless and clean. We had some trouble finding it late at night but Maria was on hand to meet us at short notice. The villa itself is very well equipped. A real gem away from it all. We all had a wonderful time. Thank you Maria.

Estrelicia
I understand why the location directions weren’t described in much detail in the listing. I may not have booked it. BUT I’m very happy I did! This house is BEAUTIFUL! Everything is well arranged and completely functional. The view is worth the drive even if one did not stay here. Again I’m very happy we did. The local restaurants are very good and the store is well stocked. The local people are friendly and quite sociable. Casa Estrelicia is unique and worth the stay. One comment to the contrary, the beds are VERY firm, it would appear that they are box springs without mattresses. My wife hurt each night during sleep. Unlike other reviews I did not find Maria responsive to text messages. But we didn’t need her after all. Thanks.

September break
Didn’t like the three point turn on the single track to the villa would be nice if there was another way to it. The noise from the quarry during the day time broke the peace and tranquillity at times But the villa, pool and the views where great. Directions to the villa was very good as well. Enjoyed our stay there Regards Martin And Lorraine

My family and I stayed here for a week at the end of August. The house was immaculately clean, the views from the terrace were stunning, the pool was enjoyed everyday by my children and communication with Maria was excellent. We had a fantastic, relaxing week!

Fabulous place far from the maddening crowd
We had a fantastic 2 weeks in March at Casa Estrelicia. It's clean, comfortable and well-equipped. It's also ideal for the cooler months of the year as it has a log burner and portable and effective radiators so nice and cosy on cooler evenings. That said the weather was generally very warm so enjoyed using the loungers to relax on the patio. And what a fantastic view from there down to the coast! Met the owners on a couple of occasions and they were very responsive to requests. Although the villa is secluded it's only a 5 minute drive from good restaurants and there are lots of great walks in the area. Very good holiday.

Mooie locatie met fantastisch uitzicht
Beetje gedateerd. Er is wifi en je krijgt de tekentjes maar het werkt niet. Dat is zo volgens de eigenaar. Slechte ontvangst. De douchekoppen zijn oud en er komt weinig water door. Er is geen centrale verwarming alleen een openhaard wat niet erg is in de zomer maar de twee losse elektrische kacheltjes zijn in de winter onvoldoende. Maar het uitzicht maakt alles goed. Wij hebben ondanks het frisse weer een leuk lang weekend gehad.
