Relaxing in the highlands

It was very peaceful setting to spend three days just relaxing up in the Highlands.

You definitely need some form to reach the hotel and if you want to eat out in the evening the nearest restaurant was about a 1/2 mile away.

It was a bit too cool to use the pool, but it sure looked inviting.

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.

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

Lovely stay for our family of four including two teenagers. We had a family room, very spacious and of course the main thing about this location is the views, great view from the balcony. The area is very quiet, you do need a car to get anywhere. Nice pool for a cool down in the summer too.
Breakfast is a good buffet with eggs cooked to order, you will not starve!
Overall an ideal stay if you are looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing.

Quiet Place In the Hills

Vilafoia is a small hotel in the hills near Monchique. Our room had an amazing view all the way out to the ocean, was very clean, very comfortable and had nice amenities. The shower was a little small (like all European showers). The grounds were very well maintained and it's easy to go for a nice walk on the quiet roads surrounded by cork trees.

Decent bed and breakfast

Warm welcome. Rooms functional and clean. Parking limited to Road outside if you can get a space. Good location for station amd regular trains to Lisbon. Breakfast slightly disappointing with cheap juice and no eggs. Rooms with shared bathrooms can be noisy with other guests using the bathroom through the night and you are disturbed by footsteps on the wooden floorboards.
. All in all a decent bed and breakfast but certainly not a boutique hotel.

A relaxing place to stay

We visited in early March 2016 when there was only one other couple staying.

The accommodation was clean and in very good condition. Our room was large, had plenty of lights (so it was possible to read with ease everywhere in the room), plenty of power sockets for charging computers/phones, etc (no need for a card key to turn on lights/power so they stayed on if you left the room), and a strong wifi signal everywhere. The double beds have two single duvets (as is common in Germany). Free coffee, tea, etc were available in the breakfast area and there was free fruit and water in the room. Each room had a separate spacious balcony with good views of the coast in the distance.

However it is in a remote location and accessed on a series of winding narrow roads climbing uphill. The hotel sent good instructions on how to find it and they were easy to use in daylight as there are plenty of signs. However, we did get lost later in the evening when going down to Monchique in the dark for a meal as the roads are unlit and the signs are not quite as easy to follow as they are for visitors coming from several directions (and, without a satnav, we might have had difficulty finding our way back to the correct route).

Vilafoia is owned by a German Children's charity.
