I loved the large windows with so much light and the views. We wanted a house that had 3 bedrooms so the children could bring friends or we could come out with our parents. It is very spacious. Unlimited internet. TV box with 40 English speaking channels. Netflix app available via TV, you login in with your details. It has a spacious balcony with space to eat outside, you could even eat out there if its raining (which is quite rare as far as we are concerned). There are lots of different areas to sit outside. There is a front garden where you can watch the sunset in the evening, or the back garden under the palm trees. The back garden is not fully enclosed and not suitable for unsupervised younger children. We have some light but very comfortable sun chairs, which are easy to move around to the area you feel like lounging around in. If you want to lie out in the sun there are plenty of loungers in the pool area, which is restricted use to the owners and their guests at Quinta Do Montinho. The pool area has toilets and showers, plus the use of a fridge to keep your food and drink cool if you want to spend all day by the pool, perfect. Well stocked kitchen for those that want to cook. Oven with spit roast. Microwave. Coffee maker. Fridge/freezer, washing machine & dishwasher. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Pool - Pool loungers ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Freezer - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Netflix - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Streaming services ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Safe - Unlimited smartphone data usage ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the sea ### Things to do - Golf - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,292 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27130000/27120800/27120754/1de4c161.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gorgeous house in the beautiful Western Algarve.

The townhome is fabulous and well Located in a beautiful quiet area. The kitchen is well stocked and the house had everything we needed. We could have used more toilet paper for a four night stay and it is really so much easier if the shampoo and conditioner is provided. It is very difficult to fly internationally with excessive toiletries. We were a few minutes drive to the beach and the towns in this area are very cute! ##### McGinn10 M.

We have been to this property twice now, and will definitely be going back again. The house is equipped with everything you need, and we especially liked the juicer which we used every day to enjoy the fabulous oranges which are sold everywhere (but we were lucky enough to have a stall 5 minutes down the road). A leisurely breakfast of freshly squeezed orange juice and fresh baked bread from the local bakery in Budens, eaten on the balcony with great views is simply the best way to start the day. We liked the quiet of the location, away from the hustle and bustle of the larger resorts on the Algarve. Definitely need a car to get around, but there are many lovely places to visit, and we particularly like Sagres and Lagos. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicolas B. Jul 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very nice and spacious apartment in quiet location We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful and large apartment. There is a wind-protected balcony with a beautiful distant view towards the sea. The sheltered location is important because it is a very windy place (permanent, strong northwest wind). The pool a few steps down in the complex is also very nice and large and deep enough for swimming and diving. Beautiful beaches are only a few minutes away by car. Salema is a very nice, small seaside village with nice beach and good restaurants. There is a supermarket 800 meters from the apartment. If you want, you can also play golf directly in sight of the apartment. ##### Nicolas B.

After nearly 30 years of experience renting various properties in the area we can safely say that this is one of the best we have ever stayed in. The house is truly a "home from home in the sun" It is very clean, comfortable and well furnished. everything about it makes you wish you could stay there longer. Added to which the views are spectacular. We would not hesitate to recommend it to our friends, and indeed we are thinking of returning to it sometime next year. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 16 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer S.

This rental house was one row down and everything was perfect. Great views of the countryside out to the sea, really really quite esp. at night. Fab pool which in June we had to ourselves for the 3 weeks. The house was very clean and has a great layout. You can dine in or out depending on how good or bad the weather is. The house looks small from the outside but is big and very well laid out inside. It had every appliance and facility that we needed including really good wifi (which we were not expecting). Close to Salema village which is picture perfecta and20misn form Lagos if you need some nightlife. You are also 20mins form the west coast where there are beaches that go on for miles and great for big wave body boarding and surfing. The host was great to work with and check in etc. was so easy, the host also checked in online to see if everything was ok and if we needed anything. Highly recommend. ##### andrew b.

Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura L. Aug 12, 2018 #### Beautiful house with great facilities and gorgeous views This house has almost everything a family would need on holiday. We are a family of 5 with 3 teenage daughters so it was gr8 to have the space to spread out. Kitchen was very well stocked. Only thing lacking was a coffee maker. There is a cafetiere which isn't as good. The balcony gets the full force of the sun in the morning but later in the day it shelters you from the wind so is lovely to sit out on. It is on the side of a hill so not the place for those with mobility problems. 3 sets of steps to the pool area. Pool was a good size and plenty of lounges and umbrellas. We brought our lunch down a few times. There is a bar within walking distance but it's up a VERY steep hill and pricey compared to other bars we visited. Food there is just ok. There's an amazing restaurant O'Tiego less than 10 mins walk down the hill. You have to book as it's so popular but on our first visit we immediately booked for a 2nd night. Fabulous. The bedding and towels are replaced after 1 week which was a nice touch and the place cleaned. There are basically no tv channels. Luckily we'd brought our Amazon Firestick and we paid for some Wi-Fi. Also there are quite a few dvds, mostly kids ones tho not all. Plenty of drawers and hanging space in the bedrooms. The village of Budens is very very quiet but you are in a good position from here to visit the West Coast which is stunning. Loads of secret wee beaches and amazing scenery nearby. Overall the house is spacious and comfy and I would not hesitate to stay there again ##### Laura L. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin P. Jan 27, 2018 #### Schönes Haus in wunderschöner Umgebung Wir suchten nach einem ruhigen Ort um das neue Jahr fernab der täglichen Hektik einläuten zu können. Das liebevoll eingerichtete Haus von Claire war hierfür genau das richtige. Im Vorfeld wurden wir bereits bestens informiert, die Kommunikation war wirklich super. Vor Ort sind wir mit einem kleinen Willkommensgruß empfangen worden, auch hierfür vielen lieben Dank! Das Haus bietet ausreichend Platz, ist schön geschnitten und hat einen fantastischen Ausblick. Die Anlage ist unglaublich schön gepflegt und besitzt einen großen Pool. Ein Auto ist sehr hilfreich um die kleinen Orte im Umkreis erkunden und die Strände genießen zu können. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und können Claire und Ihr schönes Haus nur weiterempfehlen. Viele liebe Grüße ##### Martin P.

Lovely property and location. Great communal pool. The house is part of a small complex on the Parque da Floresta resort, very close to Budens village, so handy for the local shops & hostelries, you can also walk over to the Parque da Floresta spa/golf complex easily. Our hosts provided a good welcome pack (we were late arriving so it was much appreciated - particularly the bottle of wine for a post-journey tipple & the fresh milk for the morning cuppa) and the pre-arrival info was spot on. We booked at the last minute for a 5 night break and the owners were extremely helpful in rising to our challenge. Would recommend both the property (very much had a feel of the "home from home") and the owners' attention to detail, helpfulness and quick response when contacted. ##### Jo Y.

Sep 29, 2017 #### A large holiday home with the personal touch Following the excellent directions from the owner, we arrived to a clean fresh house with a welcoming feel. The personal touch meant there were items in the fridge and dotted about which gave a positive start to our holiday. The house is large and facilities and equipment more than adequate. There is plenty of space to soak up the sun if that is your bag, but equally it is a peaceful, tranquil place. Ideal to really unwind. The pool is large and also a great place to chill. We never found it too busy. The area is rural but close to some great beaches. Facilities in Budens are ok with Vila de Bipso and Aldi only a few miles away. OK, would have like more TV choice, but actually not missed that much. ##### Steven P. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzy T. Jul 24, 2017 #### great location- spacious and clean Lovely House up the hill from the village of Budens which is a quaint Portuguese village in the Western Algarve. Local bakery just a stroll down the hill for fresh baked bread and custard tarts!! Swimming pool area really nice and clean and great for kids - safe and not to busy when we were there. We were worried as House had no air conditioning and we were there in a heatwave but the owner reassured us and it was absolutely fine - lovely breeze in the evening and the house stayed cool as bedrooms downstairs. Lovely view across to the sea and beautiful beaches within driving distance. Quiet location but really close to Salema for some great restaurants and Bars. Hope to return and would book again and would recommend to friends and family. ##### Suzy T.
