Beautiful setting in the mountains. However the gardens and pool area were very shabby and needed a tidy up.

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.

Das Hotel befindet sich außerhalb des Ortes, inmitten der Natur. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker. Es gab unter anderem frisch gepressten Orangensaft und verschiedene Eivariationen, die auch frisch zubereitet wurden. Der Service war sehr gut und das gesamte Personal ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Unique and wonderfully maintained property. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Short drive to town of Monchique and many amazing hiking options. Definitely recommend trying the PR9 hike which includes fantastic views and a really cool suspension bridge over a valley and river. Monchique is a nice change of pace from beach towns in the Algarve or the busy streets of Lisbon.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à la Vila Foia. L'établissement est très reposant se situant en retrait des villages côtiers. Le personnel très accueillant, les petits déjeuners sont copieux. Les chambres spacieuses et propres. Nous recommandons cet établissement pour celles et ceux qui aiment la tranquillité.
