Lock in a great price for Vilafoia - rated 9.2 by recent guests.

to get started.

An eco hotel with fantastic views and comfortable rooms. Enjoyed talking with Stephanie including about her partners ECO123 magazine, which is really informative

Hilary, New Zealand

Beautiful views & tranquil and the staff were very helpful

Susan, United Kingdom

Very friendly staff, nice location of hotel in the middle of mountains, clean hotel, beautiful view

Zbynek, Czech Republic

The friendly staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was well-furnished, bathroom modern, and the spacious balcony had a superb view. Breakfast was delicious, with a choice of eggs freshly prepared alongside the usual cold cuts, cheeses, cereals, juice, etc. Eating it outside on the terrace made it even better. The gardens and pool were lovely (having managed to avoid the recent fires which surrounded the area). Easy access (by car) to Monchique and Mount Foia. A few very good local restaurants (again car necessary). Excellent for a peaceful break.

Robert, United Kingdom

Fantastic accommodation. Beautiful setting, the pool is amazing. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very clean. Thank you for a lovely stay

“Peaceful break in a lovely setting”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Balcony and Panoramic View
- • Stayed 2 nights
This is not a criticism, as it's beyond the control of the property, but a car really is essential due to the location. Whilst the drive is not as tricky as some suggest, it does involve narrow country lanes, with hills and bends (hence why it's peaceful). The after-effects of the fire are visible all-round the area - obviously different scenery to usual but spectacular in their own right, and not affecting access to the property. No bar, so bring your own if you'd like a nice glass or two on the terrace - a fridge is provided in the breakfast room for storage of personal items.
The friendly staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was well-furnished, bathroom modern, and the spacious balcony had a superb view.

“Forgot”

Forgot Hotel not meeting our expectations despite the high price (140 €). It is compatible for fires that are an economic disaster for the region but for the rest, it is just inadmissible. Home pro and that's it. No information on local interests (visits, restaurants ...) Cold pool, sunbeds insufficient and damaged, no external maintenance, breakfast without interest due to lack of products, anonymous departure. But that's not all, the height is the presence of a career just in front of the hotel with constant noise until the shooting. Ashamed for the asking price.

You cannot bye annything else but softdrinks, why you need to bring everything to eat and drink your selves. A sharred fridge is found in the breakfast lounge. However I would recommend the Management to install a little fridge in all rooms. When this is said there is nothing to complain about.
Lovely view, great pool, and very fine rooms. However the friendlynes met by the staff is fantastic. Especially the sweet young lady doing breakfast, feeding us with local guiding, when planning our next trip.

A little hard to find, our GPS sent us to the wrong location about 7km on the other side of the mountain.
A secluded retreat in the mountains with fantastic views. It is a very modern facility with spacious rooms and a balcony with breathtaking views of the valley below. Full breakfast with lots of options. Your eggs, if so desired, are cooked to order. There is also a beautiful pool. The town several kilometers away has some excellent dinning at very reasonable prices.
