Boho-chic hotel in the midst of nine hectares of magical landscaped gardens.
The epitome of the classic Farm House: A timeless simplicity, a local, genuine atmosphere and a boho chic spirit.
Discover newfound tranquility as you gaze out over Vila Monte’s beautifully landscaped nine-hectare grounds, which feature many aromatic plants, olive and fig trees, reservoirs, and a vegetable garden. With an excellent rustic restaurant, à Terra, on site, and two fully equipped bars, you can truly relax. Vila Monte boasts a fully equipped gym, a wellness center, two outdoor swimming pools and a tennis court. If you do manage to drag yourself from Vila Monte’s charm, enjoy the magical Portugese countryside, cobblestone squares and pretty street-side cafes, where time slips away unnoticed.
The hotel’s high ceilings, bright spaces and beautifully styled interiors take their inspiration from traditional materials and artisanry of the Algarve region. Designed by Vera Lachia, the spaces use natural woods and whitewashed walls to create a welcoming and authentic yet contemporary aesthetic. The hotel and its grounds were themselves born from a creative collaboration between architect Jorge Guimarães and landscape architect Teresa Barão.
Exclusive standards, private terraces or gardens, a personalized butler service, are some of the options available for a wonderful stay.
Discovering new flavors in the À TERRA restaurant or laying in the sun on a desert beach are some of the experiences you can live at the new Vila Monte.

Location
Enjoy the local area
Outside the large tourist masses of the Algarve, Vila Monte is distant and, at the same time, close to the city.
Very close to the village of Moncarapacho, a unique and very calm location.
About ten minutes away sits the Ria Formosa Natural Park, where you will find deserted beaches and very rich fauna and flora.
Vila Monte is a 9-hectare property, where you can walk or run without having to leave.
With a low density of construction, here we favor large and aromatic gardens.
Located in the Eastern Algarve, right between the Mountains and the Ocean. Here, time is ancient. It is a time of traditions, of flavors, a time of the rhythm of the seasons, which dress the trees of our garden in different shades, flowers and fruits, a time of the tides of the Ria Formosa, the lifestyle preserved there and the fragile ecosystem in which it persists, a time of the villages whose origins are now long gone, a time of the shepherd’s slow step or of the time it takes for the fisherman’s net to reach the sea after it has been cast.
Located in Moncarapacho, Algarve, nearby the wild beaches of the Ria Formosa Natural Park.25 km from Faro Airport, 20 km from Tavira and 9 km from Olhão.
