Monte Borboleta - Self-catering in Algarve
Sítio do Cerro 18, 8005-487 Goldra de Baixo, Algarve
Southern Portugal,
Portogallo
Birds, bees and sea breezes rustling the trees in the leafy garden. That's all you'll hear from your lounger as you sit beside the glittering pool. Choose from a two-storey villa with a private pool and outdoor shower, an apartment or a standalone cottage, or take all five whitewashed casas and bring the whole tribe (grown ups only).
Moorish details are dotted throughout: original terracotta floors and decorative tiles, pretty stained glass windows, domed ceilings and arched doorways. The feel is relaxed and unfussy with comfortable furniture making the most of the light-filled bedrooms - some en suite. Every window frames a knockout view.
Arrive to a delicious hamper of local treats in your kitchen, none are huge but most open onto the living room for extra conviviality. Barbecue in your private al fresco space or gather with fellow guests in the shared gardens. Drive to restaurants and Loulé market in under ten minutes, or be on the coast in fifteen.

Local points of interest from Nick Logan:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Nick Logan:
- Stroll the wooden boardwalk across the breathtaking Ria Formosa saltpans, lagoons and sand dunes, a UNESCO-protected hibernation/breeding area for birds and fish
- Sip an Alentejo rosé and feast on a bargain-priced shellfish platter at our favourite marisqueria. Quality restaurants abound but we will also point you to authentic dining experiences in neighbouring hills and villages.
- Explore this beautiful region. Monte Borboleta is an idyllic “hidden gem” but centrally placed, and only minutes from the motorway than runs the length of the Algarve
- Faro, Silves, Tavira, Lagos are historic and bustling towns. Join the locals who flock to the vibrant Saturday market in the nearby hilltop town of Loulé, a centre of local crafts
- Monte Borboleta (Hill of Butterflies) is a haven to return to after exertions in towns or on the beach. Fill a glass, survey the panoramic coastal view and wonder at the glorious sunsets. The air here is some of the best in Europe
- Hop on a water taxi or ferry to one of several islands off the unspoilt Eastern Algarve coast. Some have restaurants and fishing villages, others near-deserted golden beaches that can pass as ‘Caribbean’ in fashion photo shoots
