Casa Santo Clair is set in the tranquil setting of the Monchique Hills with it's gentle climate and spectacular views of the Algarve to the distant sea.

The villa (280m) is set on the lower slopes of Picota which at 774m high is the 2nd tallest peak in the Algarve. The hills are extensively wooded with pine, eucalyptus, oak, mimosa and about 1,000 plant species.

There is a large variety of wildlife in the hills, including wild boar, lynx, otters, mongoose, eagles, storks, owls and nightingales.

Caldas de Mochique is ideally located to explore both coasts of the Algarve. The beaches to the south at Pria da Rocha, Ferragudo and Alvor are within 20/25 mins (20 Km) and the wilder west coast a little further.

Faro Airport is 80km (about 1 hour) mostly on the A22 (IP1) road.
