Do you want to feel a part of the country you visit? Part of the village? Part of the family? Then stay here. Jovanka and Philip provide exactly the warm welcome and genuine hospitality that we had heard Monte***** is famous for. Philip's family have lived here for generations and he has re-built the "Villa Old Castle" with care and artistry using traditional materials and making the most of the spectacular hillside views. The result is accommodation offering self-contained apartments with a quality finish, excellent and well-equipped kitchens, superb showers with ample hot water and washing machine. In addition, a nice pool in quiet, walled courtyard offers a welcome reprieve from the bustle of the coast. Wifi is free and signal unfailing (even poolside). If self-catering isn't your style, you can order an evening meal, in advance. One night, we benefited from slow-roasted young pork from our hosts' home-grown stock along with tomatoes from their garden which were all simply prepared and wonderfully tasty. Thank you so much - Jovanka and Philip for making our first trip to Monte***** so memorable.
