VilaFoia

This is an excellent place to stay. We are a couple who have recently retired and decided to return to the hotel after a pleasant stay there in December. We were not disappointed. The whole experience left us feeling sorry to have to leave even though the weather was changeable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast nourishing and sufficient to see us until supper time! The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The grounds and surrounding countryside enhance the experience. Although relatively isolated it is an advantage in terms of relaxation and a brisk walk of around a km takes you to a choice of restaurants. We had no car but we're still able to take advantage of the town of Monchique and surrounding area. Recommended.

Being in our room was like being part of the cork oak forest with mature trees just outside each window. We stayed in a studio room 100+ steps up through the gardens away from the main building. It's perfectly tranquil up there but with all the facilities of the hotel at hand. Very comfortable and stylish in the room with plenty of cupboard space for our things

Fantastisch verblijf gehad met ons gezin. Oase van comfort en luxe ervaren. Lekkere bedden, top team, erg fijn ontbijt. Yoga vanaf het beste yogadeck ooit. Kinderen vonden het zwembad, bubbelbad en hun eigen kamer fantastisch. Wij komen zeker nog eens terug.

it’s a small paradise. Very peaceful and relaxing with great views. Unfortunately we only had some hours of clear weather. The rooms are spacious and with balcony. There is a nice common area with access to the terrace. The pool area must be wonderful in summer. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a list with nearby restaurants and made reservations for us.

As part of our Portugal hiking trip with Right Path Adventures, my husband and I stayed at Vila Foia for a night. Above the village of Monchique, it is tucked on a hillside, up a curving road, and an oasis - lovely, perfectly appointed rooms, beautiful grounds, and warm and helpful staff. Our group had a catered dinner arranged by the owner/host that was delicious. I would love to have stayed longer - there are lots of hikes amidst the forested hillsides, covered with cork trees.

What an amazing experience! High above Monchique the setting is serene and calming. Rooms are generous in size and very well appointed. Dining room is comfortable with a nice view. Breakfast amazing, same with dinner. Pool area is beautiful but because of weather not able to enjoy. Host was wonderful.
