The staff were amazing. Engaging and the friendliest team we have ever encountered. They are one of a kind.

Amazing staff throughout. We had a suite with a plunge pool - bliss

Staff are excellent, particularly key restaurant team members and the concierge. More family orientated than anticipated, could do with an adults only bar adjacent to the AO pool. Significant wasp problem in August, couldn't eat outside before 8pm.

Family friendly, yet peaceful luxury hotel.

The staff and the location were amazing. Food was excellent. Our room was nice and had plenty of space. The bathroom was a bit dated but that was our only very minor complaint :).

Disappointed they fail to book my spa appointment even it was confirmed before our arrival and haven’t received any of the vip treats I’m supposed to have with Expedia membership.

Incredible vibe and extremely accommodating for families. The kids club is amazing.

Perfect in every way! This is what 5 starts looks like! My husband and I were traveling for our wedding anniversary, and our Secret Suite was perfect--the private pool, the patio, the concierge, the breakfasts...it was all heaven. The hospitality is warm and down-to-earth. The food at the restaurant is amazing--including amazing vegetarian dishes. The resort includes different activities like yoga, cocktail-making classes, and wine tasting. For an unforgettable experience in the Algarve, don't hesitate--book this now!

The Octant Vila Monte is a beautiful hotel set into the countryside about 4-5 miles from the beach. As soon as we arrived we felt relaxed and peaceful as the hotel, its grounds and our room were presented beautifully. The staff in all areas were so kind, friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. The breakfast was outstanding with fresh produce and a stunning view and the hotel restaurant served amazing food each day. The adults only po was t heated but with the sunshine that wasn’t a problem. I borrowed a bike to cycle into the local towns which was a great addition. All in al, highly recommend - we’ll be back as soon as we can!

Wonderful retreat, very relaxing, accommodating, warm design and lovely people. Will come back for sure.

This place is out of the movies! It is so amazing and worth every 2nd of the drive to get there! It is next level beautiful experience! Trust and go, you will not be disappointed in anyway! That’s all I want to share because it is such a special place!

Wonderful relaxing couple of days. Beautiful setting and hotel grounds. Excellent food. Perfect anniversary celebration.

What a wonderful experience and literally every single person who works there could not have been more friendly, helpful and accommodating.

This was an unexpected outstanding property. The grounds are magnificent. The rooms are lovely and very well appointed. And the staff were all super friendly. We absolutely loved this place and would highly recommend it.

Vila Monte was simply spectacular! The rooms were spacious and beautiful and the grounds were breathtaking! Rui and Oliver at A Terra were so sweet, Ana from housekeeping was just lovely, and Bruno at eh pool was just great! We will definitely be back again but next time stay longer!!

Best service ever, staff will go above and beyond, they give a lot of attention to details. This place is extremely kid friendly while keeping the exclusive boutique vibe that you would expect.

A beautiful, relaxing place to visit, just a short drive from Faro airport. The weather was amazing and the staff were excellent. Look forward to staying there again.

The hotel is amazing, great breakfast, the staff was super kind. It was in was in the beginning of October, so the weather was still very nice to swimm :) During my stay I felt like it could be a 5 star hotel. The decoration is so simple, and at the same time beautiful. Well done :)

Amazing & special place to stay! We really enjoyed our visit to this hotel and we were made to feel special from the moment we arrived. The staff here are phenonemal and will make you feel so looked after. The grounds are beautiful and in a rural setting, its a drive away from visiting the towns and attractoons but if you want to repax, then this is perfect The restaurant was really good, with options to suit any budget. The fresh cookies & cocktail invites were such a lovely touch!

Relaxing, quiet retreat in a less touristy part of the Algarve
