A quiet house eighteen minutes from Portimão
Want to be close to Portimão and Praia da Rocha, yet sleep somewhere quiet and green? monslívius sits on a private 1-hectare estate near Silves, about 18 minutes from Portimão — the beaches and marina by day, the orange grove and castle views by night.
Portimão in about 18 minutes
Praia da Rocha, the marina, the riverside and the Portimão market are around 18 minutes away by car — near enough for a beach morning or a seafood dinner, far enough to leave the crowds behind when you come home.
A private estate, not a hotel
Around one hectare of private grounds with two independent houses, two pools and a jacuzzi, and only one family at a time. No lobby, no neighbours — just the garden, the orange trees and the red castle of Silves in the distance.
You just arrive
Round-trip transfer from Faro airport is included, your host meets you at the door, and a welcome basket is waiting. Fibre Wi-Fi and a 24/7 concierge in your language — plus private outings to the coast whenever you like.
Eighteen minutes from Portimão, and that is the point
Portimão has the marina, the market, the restaurants and the boats to Benagil. What it does not have is quiet. Eighteen minutes away, the estate gives you the town when you want it and the countryside when you are done with it — and you park in your own garden, not in a paid space.
The market, and what to do with it
The Portimão market is worth an early morning: fish landed the same day, fruit, cheese. Both houses have their own kitchen, so the simplest evening of the week is often the one you cook yourself, on the terrace, with what you bought that morning.
Two little houses, two retreats
How far is Portimão from the house?
About 18 minutes by car. Praia da Rocha, the marina and the Portimão market are all within easy reach, while the estate itself stays quiet and green near Silves.
Can you arrange boat trips near Portimão?
Yes. Among the private outings we can arrange is a sunset boat trip along the coast, as well as visits to the Benagil sea caves and the nearby beaches.
How long does it take to reach Portimão?
About 18 minutes by car. Albufeira is 23 minutes, Silves 7 and the Arade dam 4.
Is there parking?
You park on the estate itself, in the garden — not in a paid space in town.
Where do the Benagil boats leave from?
From the coast near Portimão and Carvoeiro. The concierge can book the trip for you, and a private sunset boat trip is also possible.
