Vista da Colina means 'hill view'. In this case this is a beautiful wide view of the distant Monchique Mountains. Sitting on the veranda with this view immediately relaxes!
The owners have completely restored the house at the end of 2019 at the beginning of 2020 to modern, luxury standards. The main house has a north-facing living room with veranda and open kitchen and uninterrupted views of nature. On this ground floor floor are 3 spacious, bright bedrooms and 2 large bathrooms. The kitchen is very modern and fully equipped. There is air conditioning in all areas. After waking up, you can jump directly into the swimming pool through the sliding doors of your bedrooms and these rooms are situated in such a way that there is all privacy. There are enough sun beds for everyone. An outside table and a barbecue area complete the whole!
Do you want to come with 8 people? Then you can rent the lower part of the house. This apartment consists of a modern furnished living room with kitchenette and a very spacious bedroom with small bathroom and suite with shower and toilet. Here is also air conditioning.
Vista da Colina environment
This thoroughly modernized house is located in the quiet residential area of Monte Canelas, close to the charming resort of Alvor. This former fishing village is beautifully situated at the river, and has two very popular beaches, plus a wide range of restaurants, bars and shops. There are 3 restaurants, a café and a mini market in the immediate area. The villa is not far from the 5-star resort Le Meridien Penina, which offers a championship golf course and a choice of restaurants. Casa Vista da Colina is located in the countryside, at the foot of the beautiful Monchique Mountains and Alvor is only a 15-minute drive away. Portimão is 4 km east of Alvor, on the Arade River. A lively, truly Portuguese city with good purchasing possibilities. Lagos and the coastline (half an hour's drive) are also very worthwhile. Beautiful nature reserve Costa Vicentina with its rugged cliff coast is half an hour away. Golfers will also find the beautiful Palmares golf course a short distance away.
Worth mentioning: This area offers very good cycling possibilities! Good mountain bikes and bicycles can be rented from the owner for 25 euros per day.
