Hotel Vila Monte is located in Moncarapacho. Carefully preserving the traditional architecture; the property was transformed into a manor house in 1979. In 1985 the property was transformed into a guesthouse, laying down the foundations for the present hotel and resort. In 1993 the guest houses Ermitage and Vila d’Este were added as well as the Patinho, which presently houses the bar, reception and lounge. With the inauguration of the Orangerie in 1999 the resort reached its present size. The well preserved park with its spectacular ancient trees gives the resort a unique atmosphere.
The guesthouses are spread around the park amidst ponds and a pavillion. Three pools, one heated in winter, are an inviting and refreshing oasis. The guesthouses, which have their own sun terraces, offer 55 rooms with a capacity of 107 beds. The Quinta's six rooms are located in a romantic garden, amidst ancient trees. The pool is surrounded by terraces and a lawn, where you can enjoy the sun or cool off in the shade. The entrance to Ermitage opens into a bright courtyard which leads to the 20 pleasant guest rooms. The viewpoint “Miradouro” with its beautiful Swallow Tower is a popular place for sun-worshippers to relax. The private character of Vila d’Este with 5 individually furnished rooms makes it the ideal accommodation for large families or a group of friends. The separate pool further provides a private atmosphere to this little oasis. The Orangerie built in monastic architectural style offers 24 bright suites with a modern interior. The suites on the ground floor have their own seating covered by arcades and a terrace with sea or countryside views. The junior suites on the upper floor lead onto a spacious terrace, ideal to relax in the sun. All suites are comprised of bedroom, living room (with sofa-bed), and bathroom.
The restaurant with its high open pyramid ceiling is clearly the pride of the hotel. The terrace offers spectacular views to the sea and the countryside. Experience the haute cuisine, served by a friendly team, under the Italian-designed romantic chandeliers! The weekly Gala Dinner is accompanied by live music.
