Monchique Fonte Santa Hotels

"Muito bom É para voltar"

"All was good - rooms need a little paint touch up"

"Comfortable cozy home in the peaceful hills above Monchique. Beautiful sunrises. Cooked most of our meals at the villa, well equipped kitchen. Easy, friendly communication with Pascal and Eulalia. "

"Everything was good, however the elevator was broken and with a weird smell in the first floor "

"Clean room"

"Villa Monchique Royal was the ideal place for our family holiday. The villa is spacious, clean, and very well equipped. We spent hours relaxing by the pool and enjoying meals in the outdoor barbecue area. The peaceful mountain setting provided the perfect backdrop for a stress-free break."

"The room was okay the rest was not great at all. This is marketed as a relaxing/spa experience resort but is non of that. Would not stay here again. "

"The Stonehouse occupies a stunning location with panaramic views across the hills and down to the coast. Access to Monchique and its supermarket and restaurants is a matter of minutes and to south or west coast is only 30 or 40 minutes.The value is good too, at a considerably lower price than most properties in the area, but there are some compromises to be made: During our stay the pool filter didnt appear to be working so we had to use the net a lot to skim the surface. The microwve is temperamental and turned when it felt like it, but mostly it was the bed. At home we have an extra firm mattress but the one at the Stonehouse is so unforgiving we struggled to sleep, and the bed is noisy, each time one of us rolled over it woke the other up.Overall its a nice place to stay but does need a little tlc. "

"We loved our stay here. Our family of 5 visited in the heat of August and made great use of the local pool and some smaller ones in surrounding villages. We loved wandering through the old passages and stairways, the town is just so full of character! Air conditioning was a godsend on a couple of hot evenings, the beds are comfortable and we all slept really well (although the endless barking of a neighbour's dog was a little irritating ). The kitchen is small and cleverly laid out with a lot stored high and accessed by steps. A cheese grater would have been welcome and pot pourri in the salad bowl was pretty but meant we couldn't actually use it. The kids were thrilled to have TV with Disney channel! There is a laundromat at Intermarché. We would have loved some guidance on waste segregation - we separated our recycling and left it, hoping for the best, but after having checked out I spotted municipal recycling, and even community compost (near the pool, actually!) which we would have gladly used. In all, I can imagine Casa Sofia would be a great place to visit anytime of year and I hope we can visit again some day."
