We spent a couple of nights at Vila Monte in late February enjoying the winter sunshine of the Algarve while visiting the area. Vila Monte is in a great location and we used it to visit Tavira, Santa Luzia and the area directly around Moncarapacho. The hotel's site and architecture are beautiful - cool, white buildings, terracotta roofs, blue swimming pools and green lawns and the public spaces give off a beach club vibe. Every member of staff that we interacted with was superb - extremely friendly, really willing to chat and talk about places to visit, dishes to eat, etc. Our room was superb - we had a junior suite with a separate bedroom and sitting area and it was well appointed, very comfortable and provided a great night's sleep. We made use of the (heated!) outdoor pool during our stay and it was a real luxury to be able to swim when the sun was strong but the air temperature wasn't so high. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner in the restaurant and found it to be a really good place to eat. In terms of lunch/dinner the food is very good and there's a lot of variety so that you can eat there multiple times without running out of options. We also found service to be very good. Breakfast was also good but it's served buffet style and you could imagine that it might get a little crowded at busy times. The offering is fine but it's not super varied and it's perhaps one area where the hotel could improve. The other area I'd call out is that of the drink prices - we found local wines (by the glass) here to be pretty expensive which made it easy to bloat up your restaurant bill. That said, they were very nice wines and they're not compulsory ;-) I'd happily return to Vila Monte and would recommend it to anyone looking for this type of stay in the area - it's a really good hotel.
