Monte da Ribeira - Agroturismo — Hotel in Faro

A big recommendation if you love views, personnal service and local! We have spent a full week at Monte da Ribeira in the large appt 6 with views on the hills opposite, including great breakfast with home made jams, honey etc. Hearing the birds from morning to evening, basking in the sun or seeking shadow, it's all there. Honesty bar with soda's, ice cream and even wine if you don't want to go shopping. The shower has good pressure and piping hot water if needed. Aircon in main room and sleeping room.

Really friendly and helpful.||We originally booked for 2 nights but extended to 4 and may go back at the end...

Breakfast comes in a beautiful basket with all local foods. The jams are made on the property. They provided roaming wifi to take off the property during the day. When we arrived check in was quick and efficient and Isabelle gave great local information. Faro is just a few kilometers away. We spent one day in Faro and traveled the entire coastline to the farthest point west. We were never more than 1.5 hours away from the hotel. We did not deal with hoards of people, buffet food, or loud crowds. This property is a gem hidden away for peace and quiet. We will stay...
