Amazing and memorable family holiday at Vilafoia. From the swift response to our email queries before we had even left home, we were made to feel welcome and this was our experience throughout our stay from all the staff. The property is exactly as it looks in the pictures online - very beautiful, clean and well maintained throughout. Our rooms were spacious, with large balconies with beautiful views of the mountains with a glimpse of the sea in the distance. We enjoyed the pool and gardens which are lovely with plenty of comfortable seating dotted all around to enjoy the views and sunshine. Breakfast was delicious, varied and plentiful with a buffet of cereals, fresh fruit, cold meats, cheeses, delicious breads, and eggs made to order. We really appreciated the honesty bar - it was lovely to come back after a day out and sit in the gardens with a drink and star gaze. Prices of snacks and drinks was incredibly reasonable e.g 13 euros for a bottle of sparkling wine. Booking system for the wonderful hot tub is a great idea - we really enjoyed the experience of having it all to ourselves. Thank you so much to the Vilafoia team for making our holiday so special.

A very comfortable and quiet place
I stayed for 2 nights in Vilafoia and wished I had stayed longer. It is a perfect place to get away from it all and to just chill out. The welcome I received was outstanding-it was clear Margarita took her job very seriously and genuinely cared that guests feel at home there. She emailed directions in advance which were easy to follow and got me there with no trouble whatsoever. Each room has a large balcony which gets the sun in the morning and is a great place to watch the sky (and the shooting stars) at night. The entire property is spotless; rooms are cleaned every day. Breakfast is of a very high standard, fresh and delivered with a smile on the patio overlooking the immaculately kept gardens. I appreciated the coffee (and tea) available in the afternoon and the use of the fridge. It’s a shame they don’t have an on-site restaurant but there are three restaurants within walking distance-which is no harm as the portions in both restaurants I visited were huge!! I would recommend VilaFoia wholeheartedly and hope to return some day in the future. It really is worth the effort of getting there. Até à próxima! Abraços, Brian

What a beautiful location for a few days away. Peaceful, stunning scenery, a home away from home. You definitely need a car to get about but would recommend having a car to explore the Algarve anyway.

Best stay in Monchique area hands down
Wonderful stay in peaceful Monchique. Loved the location and service with fabulous views on hills above Monchique. The studio was quiet and private from the rest of the rooms and a perfect area to relax and enjoy the local hiking in the hills. Excellent service and friendly multilingual staff. Highly recommend.

Boutique like hotel. Very friendly staff, good bed and great breakfast. Floor heating makes the room a little top warm, but we opende the door to the terrace and it was fine, although not very sustainable. Turning of heating took 24 hours
