Four beautiful en suite bedrooms with cool marble or elegant timber flooring comfortably accommodate families or groups of up to eight guests. Indulgent finishing touches include Molton Brown toiletries and a nightly turn-down service. From the upstairs rooms, a wrap-around terrace, partially shaded, offers lovely views and a quiet place to unwind over coffee or a nightcap.

Downstairs, French doors open onto a delightful patio, with graceful arches, a timber pergola and Roman-style columns providing a choice of sun or shade for alfresco dining. The superb private pool is edged with traditional terracotta tiles where stylish sun-loungers invite you to stretch out and savour the warm Portuguese sunshine.

For those evenings when you don’t feel like cooking, there’s an excellent room service facility, delivering first class cuisine straight to your villa. The resort also offers a range of outstanding dining options under the expert eye of renowned international chef Jaime Perez. Whether you’d like a casual snack overlooking the magnificent fairways or fine dining in the opulent Vistas restaurant (open April to October) you’ll find plenty of choice right on your doorstep.

Besides the renowned Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, Monte Rei also features at its hub a large communal pool, restaurant and bar, gymnasium, spa and beauty salon, as well as tennis facilities and a children’s play area for the use of resort guests.

The outstanding villas come highly recommended for golfers and non-golfers, families or groups of adults in search of a relaxing, exclusive holiday experience.
