We moved to Portugal end of 2017 and opened Monte-Bougainvillea in April 2018.
It was a bit stressful for us as this was our first experience in this type of business. We were not fully ready, we had just moved in, and we did not speak much Portuguese. But we had a vision and we were motivated to make Monte-Bougainvillea a success.
In January 2019, after only a short 1st year of operating, Booking.com recognized us with a 2018 Client Review Award for our average rating of 9.4 / 10. Those who follow us will know, this made us very proud.
But this also raised the bar. We determined throughout 2019 that we could do even better.
And we did.
Sylvie and I are extremely proud to announce that we have been attributed a 2020 Traveller Review Award in recognition for our rating of 9.7/10!
It's a bit confusing because they changed the name, and the year logic. So although it's called 2020 it's about our ratings for 2019. Anyway we have to thank all our kind guests who have taken the time to provide such positive feedback to Booking.com concerning their stay with us at Monte-Bougainvillea. Thank you!
We'd also like to thank our employee of the year: Dixie. Our guests have almost unanimously made a special mention of her in our Guest Book. Part of those great ratings belong to our very special dog. She is everyone's friend. Our team would not be complete without her, and we suspect she knows it. Anyway, she got a special treat when we got the news of the award !
Now it' about 2020 and the bar has been set higher. 9.7 on 10 is going to be hard to beat. So we hope you will forgive us if this year we only aim to be a least as good ;-)
Will we be able? You can find out by following our Project Bom Dia Facebook page or the monthly Blog Dia on our web site www.monte-bougainvillea.com.
But really the best way to find out is to come find out for yourself and see how we earn Your rating. We have great deals for off season weeks, a winter season special and for summer 2020 we are already 25% booked with yet many great slots still open.
So really, there is no better time to book than now,
See you soon?
Sylvie & jc
-- Monte-Bougainvillea
De retour de cette propriété que j'aime tant. J'y suis retourné pour la deuxième fois et toujours avec grand plaisir. Les propriétaires sont très sympas, présents et discrets. Les apartments sont très bien équipés et vraiment rien ne manque. L'endroit est situé au milieu d'un jardin magnifique agrémenté d'une piscine. Le plus est la voiture, une voiture à disposition à partir de 7 nuits sur place imaginez vous seulement l'économie réalisée sur une location de voiture pas négligeable vous en conviendrez.
De plus vous n'êtes qu'à quelques km de la plage, donc si vous le désirez la foule dans la journée et le calme et la relaxation à la villa le soir. Que du bonheur
I just came back from Monte Bougainvillea. I was there for the second time as I simply love it. It is a beautiful property with friendly owners always available if needed but however very discreet. The property is set amid a beautiful garden. You have a great pool and the apartments are extremely comfortable, spacious and more over very well equipped. If you book 7 nights you get a free car rental just imagine how much saving it represent especially in a very touristy area. You are in a quiet area though close enough to get to the busy area whenever you want since you have a car at disposal. A great place to relax and to do a lot…
