Located on the eastern side of the Algarve in the beautiful Sotavento nature reserve the Vila Monte Resort was built in 1993 and recently renovated to a fine standard. The views is lovely and encompass the Atlantic. It is an excellent place for the sports minded people or lovers of good food.
Vila Monte Resort, for example, includes its own golf academy, 2 heated outdoor swimming pools (around 26 °C), tennis court, sun terraces, health spa, beauty parlour and a health centre all on site. A short drive away you will have plenty of other activities such as boating, diving and fishing. It is, of course, located in prime golf country with some of the finest clubs in Europe which can be easily reached. The quality of its cuisine has been recognised with membership of the Confrèriè de la Chaines des Rotisseurs in Paris. All rooms are individually furnished and contain works by Adolfo, who set up this resort.
I loved the modern design and concept matching brilliantly with the countryhouse feeling.
The park surrounding the villas is awesome and extremely well kept with a soothing athmosphere.
Young, friendly, multilingual and dedicated staff,
The place is so nice that we stayed for dinner every day, the meals are tasty and food is healthy and well presented.
Could be good to add some more variety to the menu for guests who stay longer.
Loveley holiday place, I will recommend it further.

Difficult to rate. There were good and bad sides. After checking in we were taken to the suite. We were informed that it is newly renovated. When we got there, we were greeted by a pungent smell of paint. Nobody could stay there. After some time we were offered another room which was smaller but still had a nice view. The room is said to be more expensive than the suite booked, but they would accommodate us and rent the room for the same price. However, it is correct that the room was about €100 cheaper per night. We checked this on the Secret Places homepage. After a short discussion and consultation with the management, the right price was granted. The host's attempt to rip us off remains, however. Pros: The environment was nice, the restaurant very good.
