The Place
Our guesthouse is situated in an old cork-oak forest in the rural mountain-scape of Monchique, only 35 minutes away from the magnificent beaches of the Atlantic. An intimate place to rest in nature, walk the many trails and enjoy the local gastronomy.
Vila Foia is a wonderful base from which to explore the region and come home to tranquility and privacy. Perfect for walking groups, training and strategy meetings and seminars, wellness workshops and family celebrations. The entire guesthouse can be booked for such events. Vila Foia has 11 rooms, all with private balconies and breath-taking views of the coast, a terraced garden and swimming pool. We serve a generous buffet breakfast each morning with locally-sourced, fresh produce.
VilaFoia was completed in the summer of 2009. The building respects local building esthetics and was built using mostly regionally-sourced and environmentally-friendy materials. It features granite from the local quarry, uses solar power for its heating and respects water efficiency practices.


The Garden
Majestic old cork oaks form the backdrop to our garden which has a variety of flowers and offers many quiet, shaded spaces.
The Pool
Our salt-water swimming pool is situated on a lawned, private terrace below the guesthouse. We provide deckchairs and pool towels. There are toilets and showers on the pool terrace for your comfort.

The Art
Vila Foia is also a place of Art.
Original Salvador Dali tiles are embedded in every bathroom. Find out more!
