Vila Monte Farm House

A Design Hotels farmhouse

Vila Monte Farmhouse welcomes travellers in an authentic and timeless atmosphere, with the natural simplicity typical of a classic Algarve farmhouse. Set between the mountains of south-east Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean, the property houses 55 rooms and suites in a bright boho-chic spirit, characterised by white walls, wooden elements and artisanal decorations. Vila Monte embraces the charming codes of traditional Algarve architecture, offering numerous terraces where it is pleasant to listen to the sounds of nature or sip a glass of Portuguese wine. In the middle of the 9 hectares of delightfully manicured gardens, guests can enjoy 2 outdoor swimming pools, an outdoor cinema, a tennis court and a fitness and wellness area. Those keen on spiritual experiences can indulge in Vinyasa Yoga, Hatha Yoga or Kundalini in the company of instructor Janet Shook. More than just a restaurant, À Terra draws inspiration from nature to offer a culinary journey that is both healthy and rustic, enhanced by the region's flagship products including fleur de sel, olive oil, figs, tomatoes, aubergines, coriander... and bread baked in a traditional wood-fired oven. For a change of scene, take the orange tree-lined path that leads to the second restaurant, Laranjal, settle on the terrace facing the bucolic landscapes of the Algarve and enjoy creative dishes inspired by the Mediterranean basin.

ETHICS

Vila Monte Farmhouse reduces its energy consumption, optimises its waste management and ensures recycling, minimises the use of single-use plastic and uses eco-friendly cleaning products. The hotel grows some of its own fruit and vegetables on site within its gardens, and prioritises local produce for its restaurants. Lastly, local artisan pieces decorate the interiors.
