Quiet place with quiet guests. Lovely property. Rooms are a bit outdated but beds are confortable. From the balcony, the view is awesone. You can catch the Sun Rise if its not cloudy. Breakfast is fresh and eggs minute. Ito really enjoy the peace of the place, a 2 night stay is better

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.

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.
