About this property

Leaf Mountain: Private 3 Bed Villa with Salt Pool

  • The property is encased within walled boundaries and is surrounded by a salt swimming pool, orchard, and delightful tropical gardens. The salt pool provides a refreshing alternative to chlorine, while the orchard is full of the fruits of life: orange, tangerine, mango, red grape, fig, carob, and olive. The landscaped gardens are of a tropical nature and provide a pleasant backdrop while walking around.
    The light and bright bedrooms take advantage of the great views of the locality and provide sumptuous accommodation as they have been tastefully decorated and furnished to a high standard, two of which have ensuite bathroom facilities. One of the bedrooms has twin beds and the other bedrooms have a King Size and Queen Bed. The ground-floor bedrooms have sliding glass doors that lead directly out onto the outdoor terrace and swimming pool.
    The fully equipped fitted kitchen and oak-style dining table with high-backed leather chairs provide comfortable seating for home-cooked evenings. Large sliding doors connect the lounge and kitchen for an open-plan contemporary feel.
    Stylish furniture complements the neutral shades of the decor and is evidenced in the lounge which has a pine drinks cabinet from where we operate an honesty bar, a large family leather sofa, several artifacts, flat screen TV, DVD, and Broadband. The wood-burning stove offers the opportunity for warm fires on the odd winter evening. The views are simply stunning as the terrain has been brought into the living space.

Total relaxation

A lovely villa on the outskirts of town. Lovely views over the valley. Nice large bedrooms, comfy lounge, modern bathrooms with great showers. The private pool is not overlooked and the terrace with table is great for outdoor dining. This was our 2nd visit and we have booked for next year too.

Lovely Property with Excellent Views

We really enjoyed Leaf Mountain Villa. Such a relaxing place. It had nice views & a lovely swimming pool.Only thing was slight dampness in downstairs bedroom. It also would be helpful just to have an information sheet about recycling & garbage etc. but otherwise the place is a great get away destination with excellent road network & shops!

Wonderful views!

Absolutely loved our stay here. Villa very well equipped with excellent bathrooms and entertainment facilities. Sao Brás is quiet and pretty with other lovely places nearby to visit making it a great base for exploring. Peaceful, private and just what we needed with the most beautiful views both day and night. Loved watching the sun go down on the patio with a drink. Looking forward to returning which says it all. Super efficient hosts with easy check in and comprehensive instructions. All in all a lovely stay. Thank you!

Wonderful villa

Having just returned from Leaf Mountain, we are already missing the place! It is a beautiful villa in a great location not far from the town of Sao Bras. The villa is clean, comfortable and very, very well equipped. Communication with the owner is extremely prompt and the property agent responds to any queries/questions almost immediately. Really couldn’t fault this villa. The pool is amazing - a great place to relax with countryside all around. We loved it so much we can’t wait to return. Thank you Floyd and Paulo.

Relaxing Stay

Just returned home from 12 days at Leaf Mountain, where we stayed for the first time. We have been holidaying in the Sao Bras region for 20 years and have good knowledge of various villas within this area. I can assure you in all the time spent in the Algarve, we have never slept as well as on this trip. This was down to a few things. Firstly the high quality of beds, which are so comfortable it was easy to drop off, the spacious lay out of all bedrooms, the quality of the air conditioning and the remote setting of the Villa. The pool area is lovely, spacious and private and not overlooked at all, and with electric gates is very secure. The whole villa layout is very spacious and maintained well. We would highly recommend this villa to friends and acquaintances, and are already planning our next visit.

Wonderful family holiday get away

We stayed 9 nights in April and found Leaf Mountain to be a very enjoyable location for a relaxing family holiday in a private and pleasant rural setting. Floyd and Paulo both responded promptly to queries and helped make our stay very enjoyable. We look forward to possibly returning for another holiday at some point in the future.

Mountain Leaf Villa provided a central location for our Algarve holiday. We stayed 10 days. The home smelled musty but I believe we may have been the first people there for a while. Opened the sliding doors and windows to let fresh air. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well maintained and the pool area provided a lovely spot to have outdoor meals. The town was a short drive, less than 5 minutes, and had good restaurants, a pharmacy and a medical clinic which I required once.If you prefer a quiet setting away from crowds and have a car to explore the area, this is the villa for you.

Most relaxing villa

Leaf mountain is a well equipped and maintained villa just to the west of Sao bras de alportel. Three large bedrooms and three excellent bathrooms and a superb kitchen dinner make this an excellent place to stay we have booked again for next year which will be our fifth visit. The pool is excellent and the views down the valley are beautiful. Only 25 minutes from Faro airport. You will find you can relax within minutes of arriving. I have recommended leaf mountain to many friends and family.

Wonderful relaxing villa with stunning scenery

We had a lovely stay in Leaf Mountain villa which had everything we needed, a fantastic pool and wonderful scenery. The location was excellent for a short drive into Loule for the Saturday market, and a short ferry trip from Olhao to the Ilha da Armona. Sao Bras itself has lots of restaurants, cafes and supermarkets to choose from. Floyd and Paulo were always quick to help with any questions. Overall a wonderful experience at Leaf Mountain.

Peaceful haven.

We booked at short notice but everything was as smooth as possible, good communication with Floyd the owner & Paulo his representative in Sao Bras, the property is very peaceful, decorated to a very high standard and a home from home, so much so it dragged us back early from our travels everyday just to lounge by the pool. Sao Bras is in a good location to carry out day trips and many places can be reached in 30 minutes and the roads are very good. We would recommend this property very highly and we will be back again.

Scenic, spotless and secure

Our second visit to this villa with 3 beautiful bathrooms, mountain views to the south and security behind automatic gates. Very private pool surrounded by interesting and well maintained gardens. Almost walking distance to the supermarket ( but a car will be required for the numerous restaurants in Sao Bras). Easy drive to Loule, Estoi, Faro and the coast without using the Autoroute. Paulo never seen, but very helpful on the phone.

Best part was the view

Outdoors disappointing garden and drive desperately needs weeding and tidying up. Outdoor furniture very basic and uncomfortable, only one area of shade available around pool. Shame as most of holiday is spent outside.

Here again in Sao Bras

Very nice property, clean and tidy. Had a few problems which Paulo resolved quickly and efficiently . Just a few niggles… As a family of 5 the patio table was too small and only had 4 chairs . Had to keep bringing a chair out of the kitchen at meal times.. Also no shade around the pool. We did contact the host to be told the awning was supplied as shade . We did feel this wasn’t sufficient. There were parasols but the bases were not compatible. Anne

Belle propriété mais lits déficients

Dans l’ensemble, la propriété est bien, bon emplacement, plutôt tranquille, tres belle vue sur les collines de l’Algarve, bien équipée, sauf pour les lits des 2 chambres principales. Les matelas sont vieux et de pauvre qualité (aucun support) , de même que pour les sommiers qui ne sont pas solides. Ceci n’est pas acceptable pour une telle propriété. Ma conjointe et moi avons dû se résigner à dormir dans les lits simples de la 3 e chambre, qui étaient mieux. Dommage car cette propriété serait très bien avec de bons lits.

Très belles vacances!

La villa est très bien située et permet d'aller facilement sur le bord de mer et dans la réserve naturelle de Faro (20 mns en voiture). La villa est spacieuse, très bien équipée avec tout le confort. La piscine est grande et le jardin très bien entretenu avec des arbres fruitiers (oranger, citronnier....). les modalités d'arrivée et de départ sont très simples et M. Smith à l'écoute et très disponible! En conclusion : séjour très agréable et reposant!

Leaf Mountain 2020

On arrival at the property with Owner's Agent we entered through a locked gate and were pleased with the overall look of the well kept property and gardens. The inside of the villa was very clean and well presented and as seen on advertisement. Bathrooms, bedrooms and living spaces were superb. Towels and linen including pool towels were of good quality and were changed weekly by pleasant conscientious cleaning ladies. We spent a lot of time around the pool and eating outside but there is television with games and videos. The villa is situated near Sao Bras and Loule isn't far away where there are several cafes and restaurants close by. We had a first rate contact with the Owner before going due to difficult Covid 19 circumstances. We don't think there is a better recommendation than saying we will be going again - soon.
