Amazing place with excellent rooftop view! But the place is made really special by the host Rita that makes you feel at home! Refreshing dip in the pool and nice food as well

Rita was wonderful and the other guest was great! Very nice common house and space. Nice veranda for drinking wine and watching the sun set. Close to lots of hiking trails.

Perfect location to flee the heat on the coast or to go hiking in the Monchique mountains. Rita is an exceptionally kind and welcoming guest.

Rita is an incredible host — the kind that turns a good trip into an unforgettable one. From the moment I arrived, she helped me carry my things to my room, and from there it only got better: she invited me to join her for dinner, and we spent...

Perfect quiet location, less than 30min from the most beautiful beaches. Great facilities and super comfortable beds. Rita and her two dogs are the perfect hosts. Highly recommended for a few days stay!

Our favorite stay in Portuga! We spent one night here while our host Rita took great care of us. Rita is super cool and friendly. Her large house is very quiet, clean and modern and situated in the Monchique Mountains of the Algarve. We would...

A lovely, genuine stay tucked away in the Monchique forests. Rita opened up her home to us and that's exactly how it felt — like staying with a friend. We had full use of the kitchen and the rest of the house, which made everything very...

Welcome to ōku forest house! Please note this is a PET Friendly house and it has 2 friendly resident dogs. Unfortunately we can not accept cats. Our Small double room is not suitable for Pet Stays. Due to the house location (hill top) there are stairs hence not suitable for people with heavy mobility issues. ōku house is set for connection with Nature and communal living.. The house is set on a hill and it features a spacious south-facing lounge with sea and mountain views, a fireplace, and plenty of room to lounge and chill out. There's direct access to a large outdoor terrace, perfect for al fresco dining and stargazing around the firepit. The bedrooms are located at the back of the house and in the attic, offering a sense of privacy and seclusion away from the main social areas. Our kitchen is shared and you will have an allocated space in the fridge. You are welcome to use the kitchen to cook or the barbecue but always being mindfull of other guests needs to use the same facilities. You will find several spots for meals around the house. We have a forest garden with a swimming pool and a deck and several dining areas
Hello, I am Rita and I am thrilled to host you at our Forest House! I will be personally welcoming you in the property. I live in the property so you will see me around. Please note this is a PET friendly villa and there are 2 resident dogs in the property. WE can not accept cats.
