We had a truly great 11 night stay at Quinta do Monte. The whole villa is very well laid out with excellent facilities including very comfy beds,great showers,fully fitted kitchens and super outdoor dining with the barbecue. The area around the pool is exceptional with sun all day and plenty of options for shade when needed. There are plenty of sun loungers and other seating as well. The pool itself is beautiful and got a lot of use. We picked lots of fresh fruit from the huge gardens which was a real treat! Pechau has a well stocked shop only a short walk from the villa,a butchers and a couple of small cafes. A car would be handy ,but in the end we didn’t bother as Olhao is a short Uber ride away and has a great selection of bars and restaurants. There is also a train station there and we used this for trips to Tavira and Fuseta. We visited Porto,Lisbon and Lagos earlier on our trip to Portugal and it was lovely to finish with a very chilled out time at the villa. We have no hesitation in strongly recommending a stay here with everything exceeding our expectations. Heartfelt thanks to James and his team for making this a stay to remember.

Dear Chris, Thank you very much for your super review. We were so delighted that you and y our family had a fantastic stay, and we hope to welcome you back very soon. Kind regards, James and the Villa Dochi Team
We had a super holiday at Villa Dochi and took the whole house for our family group of 5 adults. The pool area and gardens were beautiful with plenty of sun loungers and parasols and the garden had some lovely plants to admire and explore. The pool area is lovely and relaxing and the home cosy with everything you need for a great stay. Even though it’s in a village setting, there’s plenty of grounds with trees and the pool is screened off with planting, which is great for swims - it feels secure and private. We ate outdoors and bbq’d a lot. Inside the beds were very comfortable and everything has recently been renovated. The TVs also have Netflix which is a bonus for movie nights! We mainly used the downstairs kitchen but both kitchens are well appointed and include a dishwasher and washing machine. I used the roof for my daily yoga practice which was lovely to do in the morning sunshine. The location is superb, in Pechao itself it’s only a 2 minute walk to a shop, pharmacy, café, butchers and bar. It’s a 15 minutes drive from Faro / the airport and 10 min from Olhao with its markets and plenty of restaurants and shops and supermarkets. Really enjoyed our boat trips from Olhao :) We had a hire car but also used taxis when needed which were inexpensive. The Roman ruins just up the road are also well worth a visit, great spot! We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again a beautiful spot and lovely home. Thank You!

Dear Kati, Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review and awe are so glad you had a lovely time at Villa Dochi. We do hope to see you back in the near future. Very best, James
What a fantastic holiday we all had! 7 adults and 2 children aged 2 1/2 and 11 months. We rented out the whole villa with the downstairs apartment being used by the couple with the kids which worked out really well (would have appreciated a highchair for the little one). Upstairs was only really used for sleeping, the beds are extremely comfortable and the air conditioning is great. Nicely furnished with everything you need for a self-catering holiday. The beautiful outside space was used daily, the huge moveable parasol was a life saver when the sunshine became too much. The pool is gorgeous and was much appreciated, there were even plenty of inflatables left over from previous occupants that were put to good use. When we didn’t eat out, all meals were cooked on the downstairs BBQ. We found that Lidl had the best selection for BBQ’s such as hummus, potato salad, guacamole. Lidl’s meat was excellent and much cheaper than the Continente. We used Uber quite a few times to go into Olhao, which only costs around 5 Euro each way. James was extremely helpful and accommodating resulting in a stress-free booking. Thank you!
