We visited here for a week of sun at the start of June 2022. We were also the very first people on a new All inclusive option. We had never gone All inclusive before as I have always been a bit wary of paying up front for sub standard food etc. The room was very good and Nearly excellent. Just a few small things would improve it a great deal. The food was very good and Nearly excellent. Just a few small things that could make it really excellent. The hotel generally was Nearly excellent. Just a few things could make it really excellent. The one thing that we loved were the excellent staff. These were mainly young and inexperienced. Every single one were helpful and friendly and with a bit more experience will be fantastic. There were a few things that were not quite right but lots of things here were very good. When going back again to the Algarve we will certainly look to book here again. Thanks.

Where to start ?

Reviewed By Curiosity697339

This place is located in a beautiful setting of older buildings. However the service and rooms aren’t good. The food is very average. Even milk, one of the basic things, wasn’t available at breakfast on the last morning of our stay! Breakfast itself is very poor, with one of the hotel employees serving a tired and limited selection of food to guests from behind a cordon…no friendliness! We were v disappointed

Monchique is a charming place to visit

Reviewed By Graham T

We stayed at the hotel which has been nicely decorated. The hotel was clean and the surroundings wonderful. The room included breakfast which was great. My only complaint was a bad experience with the manager at the Alkaline bar. He was extremely unhelpful and quite miserable - I cannot recommend the bar.

Vinha do Gaio

For those, like us, with a passion for the beauty, soul food and the magic of nature, Vinha do Gaio takes this connection to new heights. It is located on the southern slope of the Serra de Monchique, near Casais village, Vinha do Gaio is evolved into a 2 ha terraced garden retreat of grand oak, pines, olive and other delicious fruit trees. We offer 6 suites, all has terraces with panoramic views.

Beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature

Reviewed By CarolienBAC

Agriturismo Vinha do Gaio is the ideal place to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature in the Algarve. The farmer who welcomed us was very friendly and clearly proud of the produce his farm provides. My boyfriend and I stayed in a brand new annex to the farm, in a room with a terrace overlooking the country side. From our terrace we could see Portimão and the sea in the distance. We spent a lovely evening with a bottle of wine and some snacks on that terrace looking at the colors of the sunset and the flickering lights of Portimão. We loved the breakfast with fruit freshly picked from the garden. Some bread, charcuterie and cheese, a glass of fresh orange juice and home made yogurt were all we needed. The farmer always brought something extra from his farm for us to taste: small bananas, passion fruit and blue (!) tomatoes. Lovely! The room was comfortable and clean and the bathroom was nice also. Loved the old fashioned vibe of the bathroom. Worth mentioning: this is the first place we stayed in that offered different bins for recycling. Vinha do Gaio clearly is a eco-conscious place. If you're looking for a place to relax and leave your stressful job behind you for a few days, this is it.

We stayed in the Wild Oasis over the weekend as a birthday treat and the wild oasis did not disappoint! We had such a wonderful few days, the natural mineral pool and sauna were amazing, so relaxing and with a fantastic view over the Serra. On our first night we ordered dinner and the food was delicious. A very healthy vegetable coconut curry with homemade naan bread. All members of staff were friendly and very helpful. Would highly recommend staying at the wild oasis for a peaceful break.

Estalagem Abrigo da Montanha

The restaurant and sitting room, with its fireplaces, give it a cozy atmosphere with a sense of well-being only possible in places of the highest quality.

This lodge is in my top ten of WORST places i have stayed in. Decor bedding and curtains date back to 1960's. Room in February was freezing.The guy who showed us the room, plugged in a radiator which started to smell and in the morning we realised it had burnt inside the plug and melted into the wall. Breakfast was basic to say the least. Cold coffee and no English tea. No marmalade only peach jam.The same guy who gave us the room was eating his breakfast whilst face timing a friend for at least 30mins. Only upside was the view. Avoid at all costs.No maintenance money spent on it. For sale for many years...think it will be for sale for many more. A total rip off.
