Winner - Best overseas retirement development
Luxury Retirement Village and Nursing Home in the Algarve.
Feel at Home - Feel Safe - Enjoy Life.
The tranquil village of Monte da Palhagueira is the base for a Luxury English Retirement Village and a professional Nursing Home in the sun-dappled Portuguese Hills. It has elevated luxury retirement living to new heights.
With beautiful villas, houses and apartments, Monte da Palhagueira offers luxury independent retirement living in a beautiful corner of southern Europe, with the added reassurance of qualified medical assistance on hand should it ever be required. It makes you feel at home and safe at the same time.
Echoing the charm and romance of the ancient village of Alte, the award-winning Monte da Palhagueira’s mellow Portuguese stone walls enclose traditional cobbled calcada streets framed with brilliant bougainvillea and fragrant almond blossom.
Sitting in the tranquil hills of Gorjões, near Faro in the Algarve, the village has been exclusively designed for the over-55s, with 33 properties in 22 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, an ornamental lake, fine dining restaurant, swimming pool and clubhouse, and the region’s only consecrated Anglican church. That all comes with the safety and daily convenience of an onsite Nursing Home with 24/7 professional services.
The location is just perfect. It offers amazing views across the rolling hills of the surrounding landscape. At the same time it is only 10 minutes away from Loule and 20 minutes away from Faro airport. And the famous Portuguese towns of Tavira and Olhao are in close driving distance.
The Village: Enjoying Life in a Landscaped Garden
Living in Monte da Palhagueira combines the Portuguese way of Life with the safety and comfort you can expect from the Amesbury Abbey Group. The Village offers a wide range of different houses and apartments. In the center of the village is the large pool with the community center directly aside a romantic lake. The landscaped gardens give you the feeling of peace and tranquility.
This is combined with an outstanding restaurant on site and services like a hairdresser, art classes, a transport van and a weekly gathering with a glas of wine and nibbles.
The location is perfect. Loule is just a few minutes away. It offers everything from shopping to dining in a typical traditional Portuguese town with a central market and a small castle. It is not far to the next beach or golf club on one side. One the other side you have the many rural inland towns which still offer the charm of the past without being overrun by tourism.
The Professional Nursing Home
For your peace of mind there is also a small British-run nursing home on site, in the old Quinta, providing exceptional professional 24-hour nursing care from an English speaking team. The Nursing Home is open for Village Residents and external Residents. It covers a broad range of health services: from Assisted Living to End-of-Life Care.
The Nursing Home is run by four principles: safety, feeling at home, enjoying life, integration of the Resident’s family.
The Nursing Home offers three different types of rooms. All have a very high quality. Some have direct access to the terrace or have a balcony with outstanding view across the beautiful Algarve Landscape.
Retirement in the Algarve
Retiring in the Algarve is a popular choice for many. The region offers a warm Mediterranean climate with over 300 days of sunshine per year, beautiful beaches, and a relatively low cost of living compared to many Western countries.
The Algarve offers a high quality of life with its stunning coastline, rolling hills, golf courses, and fresh local food. The market hall in Loule, just 15 minutes away from our village, offers a wide variety of fresh fish and especially the Saturday market with its fresh vegetables and fruits is a very popular shopping destination. If you prefer the experience of traditional and characterful fishing town, then Olhao with its market hall is the place to go.
Retiring in the Algarve and exploring the divers range of Portuguese wines is the perfect combination for this who appreciate both a tranquil lifestyle and fine wine culture.
