Very special place in the mountains above the Algarve
This place is perfect. The location and views are spectacular. The place itself is quiet and tranquil. It's perfect for a peaceful holiday. There are only three rooms, so only a few people there when fully booked. We had a pool view apartment, you can see it on the far right of the picture, but all the apartments are near the pool. The apartment is well equipped and set up. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The hosts (Benedita & Marc) are extremely nice and ready to help with info on places to visit and eat. The drive there is quite straightforward, but you do need to follow the directions for the last couple of kilometres. The place is in the mountains so the roads are a bit windy, but fine. We went walking in the area for the first 4-5 days, which was amazing. We also visited the Atlantic coast (Monte Clerigo) for walking. The coastline is spectacular but challenging walking through fine deep sand on the coastal paths. But then it went very hot so we chillaxed after that and just visited Silves (with the castle) and Lagos. There's a big supermarket in Monchique, on the main roundabout. There's a place to park a car near the house. Which is ideal. You can drive up to the house/apartments, though, to drop off cases, etc, then park up. We loved our stay at Pirilampo, we would highly recommend it
Nothing. This is a special place.

Idyllic. First rate. One to return to.
Idyllic haven in the mountains. Top notch accommodation in terms of quality, style and equipment. Private. Peaceful. Green countryside and sea views. A place to catch your breath and reset.

A quiet paradise, ideal for thinking, meditating and just being.
Nothing. As an afterthought - people with reduced mobility should enquire about apartments with easy access. The steps to mine were a bit tricky.

Beautiful, idyllic, picturesque: three words to describe our stay at Pirilampo.
We loved the property! It’s such a beautiful setting - Benedita and Marc have really put so much thought into making the gardens just beautiful to look at every day. There is always something new to explore and look at - flowers, plants, shrubs, herbs! The rosemary and lavender make the place smell amazing. I loved that there were different places to sit and enjoy the surroundings - a hammock, a day bed, a bench, patio tables and chairs, etc. The pool area is clean and tidy and there are plenty of loungers and shade if needed. The pool is lovely and we liked how it looked out on the view.
The accommodation itself had everything we needed - some self catering kitchenettes are a bit useless, but this one was great; it had everything we needed (on occasion, we had to think around how to cook something without an oven, but this wasn’t a problem - you have the induction hob and the microwave). There is an indoor table and chairs and a little sofa. The bathroom is clean and well presented, with a great big sink and a lovely rainforest shower (it washed my thick mane of hair quite easily). There is a hairdryer. The bedroom was nice too - the bed was large and although the mattress was a little hard for us, Benedita was happy to provide another duvet to put underneath the fitted sheet to make it a little softer (she even helped us put it on!) If you sleep with the window open, make sure to use the mosquito net as there were a few chompers.
Benedita and Marc (and Bolinha the dog) are great hosts - checking that we were happy and had everything we needed. The property felt safe and secure. We were the only guests in the property the week we stayed; it was lovely getting to know our hosts a little bit.
I wouldn’t say I disliked it because I wanted to be in the middle of nowhere on this trip but make sure you plan extra time into your journeys to and from the property if you are not used to mountain roads (small, windy, steep, etc).
Be prepared also that it gets cold in the mountains even when it’s been really hot all day. We (stupidly) didn’t consider this in our packing - make sure you take a hoodie and a pair of trousers in case that wind picks up! (Which it can do, you’re in the mountains, for crying out loud!)
If you’re a light sleeper like me, you might benefit from earplugs if you sleep with the window open as the beautiful big palm trees outside get a bit noisy when the wind is up.
Pirilampo is een paradijsje in de prachtige omgeving van Monchique.
De locatie, de prachtige tuin, het heerlijke zwembad en de uitzichten. Alles was magnifiek!
We zijn heel hartelijk ontvangen door Mark en Benedita. Een welkomst-pakket bestaande uit een fles wijn/fles water, geitenkaas, eigengemaakte jam, verse broodjes, koffie en thee en vers fruit. Wij kwamen in de avond aan en hadden de volgende ochtend een heerlijk ontbijtje!
Het appartement is mooi, schoon en sfeervol. Fijne bedden.

Pirilampo is een paradijsje in de Algarve. Het appartement is mooi ingericht, alles voorhanden en een goed bed.
Het uitzicht vanaf je terras is werkelijk geweldig. Je kijkt uit op een prachtig aangelegde bloemrijke tuin met uitzicht op het groene landschap van de Algarve en in de verte op zee. Marc en Benedita laten je meteen welkom voelen. Bij aankomst is er een welkomstpakketje met lekkernijen. Het zwembad is heerlijk. Monchique ligt op 5 minuten rijden en dankzij de tips van Benedita hebben we iedere avond heerlijk gegeten. Het is 30 minuten rijden naar de indrukwekkende westkust van de Algarve.
