An intimate guesthouse-hotel nestled in a cork forest with views to the sea in the heart of the Monchique mountains. Vila Foia has 11 rooms: 6 double rooms, 2 family rooms, 1 suite and 2 studios with kitchenettes, all with balconies and wonderful views of the Algarve coastline. Lovely place to relax next to the salt-water swimming pool, walk the mountain trails and enjoy the local gastronomy. Generous buffet breakfast served daily. Village of Monchique is 3km away. Faro Airport is 60mins away.

Peace & tranquility!
My 19 year old daughter and I stayed here from Aug 12th-16th. Loved every minute. The setting is simply stunning, the staff were all very friendly and incredibly helpful and the accommodation lovely. We stayed in a suite as it had a kitchenette. It was very spacious and very nicely finished. Would definitely like to return one day. Peace perfect peace!

Relax and enjoy the view
This little hotel is a real gem: nice rooms, all with their own balcony to enjoy the magnificent view, very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was also very good. Perfect location to explore the area and relax in the lovely garden after some serious walking.

Hill side retreat
We had a wonderfull stay at the Vilafoia. The rooms are large and bright and clean. The bed was very comfortable and spacious. The bathroom was clean and nicely done. The setting of the hotel on the hill side among the cork oak's is beautiful with a great vista towards Portimao and the ocean. The staff (Maggie) was very helpfull in helping us find things to do, information we needed and serves a great breakfast as well. We had beautiful hikes on the hill sides, visited the spa, ate wonderful meals at restaurants nearby and had a great time. We will be back for sure!!!

Great hotel
Great boutique like hotel away from the crowds. Perfect beds and very good breakfast. Floorheating is good for the cold season! It can evendoor be too warm, then open the sliding doors! Fire damage in the surrounding is extensive, but no smell and a lot of new green is visible.
