First night of our Portugal...
Quick stop after arriving in Faro . We arrived late , but somebody was waiting for us to check us in . In the morning there was coffee and breakfast waiting fir us on the balcony just outside the room . Very clean room and decent breakfast made it great place for first day of our trip in Portugal .
comfortable
I got a lovely room with an extremely comfortable bed and a terrace with garden view. The apartment was very clean, the personal nice and helpful. The breakfast was very well organized and delicious.

Breakfast was terrific more than enough to feed an army. Endless coffee Quiet once you closed the doors it was silent if was not that much noise anyway. Shower was hot and lots of pressure.
I would stay again.

The couple that runs the whole thing is super nice, everyone is treated super well and I would definitely recommend everyone to stay there, the hospitality is unlike most places, 10/10 for being amazing people
There was nothing I didn't like about the location besides it being a 15 minute walk from the beach but I skated everywhere so it was not a problem at all

Keen bird watcher this property was excellent. Rooms were clean tidy bath room cleaned daily new towels hosts so helpful, amazing price, When I visited in late April, I was upgraded to a larger room at no extra cost as they were not very busy, Continental breakfast included, great coffee Really is a no brainier! Would recommend to anyone visiting the region, whether passing through as Spain just 15mins away, Great base to explore the local culture and countryside. I really enjoyed the my stay here and will be returning in late summer/autumn, For me the hotel was just away from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist centre yet on the main routes to explore the area,
These are not dislikes, more opportunities for improvement 1/ When its busy the car park can be quite tight, but the host was away there to assist 2/ An extra plug in the room would have been useful as I had a lot of electrical equipment and batteries that needed charging 3/ WiFi was really useful
Nice friendly couple who run the business, a little terrace to sit out on which we enjoyed and 10 minutes walk to the beach. an enclosed safe compound for my motorcycle which gave us peace of mind.

Spacious room with a little terrace in front. Comfortable chairs, table besides a desk.
WiFi was weak. Had to sit on the terrace to get a decent signal.
Very nice room, good breakfast and very friendly.
A very clean, cosy guest house. Spotless rooms. Very good breakfast with cereal, fruit juice, toast, croissants, and rolls , ham and cheese /plus fruit. Only one English channel on tv, news only. A very quiet location one km from the town. Supermarkets not far. Have stayed four times. No noise whatsoever from other rooms/guests on all stays.
Bed a little firm for me, but personal preference.
Owners served an excellent breakfast earlier than advertised as we had an early flight. We were given an upgraded room as it was available. Exceptional value for money with excellent hosts. Would return and recommend to fellow guests.

Very nice and clean good breakfast.
The staff was very helpful and kind, the room was nice and clean and the minibar was equipped with affordable goods :) Also there's a nice piece of lawn in the front of the house, which you can use to relax. The train station is very close.
Wifi wasn't working in the room, but the staff said they will get it fixed in a matter of a few weeks. Additional info (not related to Vila Formasa): We were attacked by two stray dogs when we were walking a bit outside of the town. So please be cautious when leaving the town, especially when dark.
Very nice and helpfull owners.
Thr place was nice, the owners friendly, the rooms quite big and clean.
On the map the location seemed quite central, short stroll from the beach. but in real life it was near the main road, and quite industrial (we did not like monte Gordo at all).
Outside area where kids could play on the grass, staff (special thanks for the restaurant that you have recommend), parking. Obrigado!
Probably you need to have car or a bike for your holiday. We did, so location was not an issue for us
Very clean and the location is very nice!!! Quiet place and the continental breakfast is very good!!! All the staffs are very nice!!! Very good for family!!!
The bed was very comfortable. The staff is extremely nice and competent!
The bathroom needed more hangers!
Everything! The room is comfortable and well equipped, very clean, the tenants are very nice and helpful, and the breakfast included so all in all very good value for price, would totally go back if I return to Monte Gordo
Maybe just the location next to a roundabout but really not annoying

Vila Formosa is situated close to the Monte Gordo railway station in Monte Fino. This makes it ideal for guests using the train to travel in the eastern Algarve. It is also good for watching flamingos which can be seen from the station platform or the salt marsh of Monte Fino. Storks visit the field across the road in the evening when there are sheep - perhaps to roost. Mullet and other fish can be seen in the clear water of the estuary on the other side of the tracks. The continental type breakfast includes a variety of fruit and yogurt.

Quiet nice place 800 m from beach with parking. Much better for pleasant stay than in the center of monte gordo if you are not afraid of walking 10 min to the beach. Fresh orange juice for breakfast.

Very clean, very friendly, lovely fresh orange juice. Even had a drying rack outside with pegs for towels and swimsuits.
The bed covers were synthetic which are not to my liking but one takes them off for the evening so not a problem.
Very friendly people, nice spacy room and everything works. Also very nice breakfast.
nice quiet place to stay , given the required privacy.Great safe parking.Wonderful helpful staff.lovely bathrooms /other rooms

Close to Monte Gordo and to Vila Real De Santo António. Clean and large room, with air conditioner. Parking place. Friendly staff. Good cost-benefit ratio. Breakfast was included (it was simple but quite good).
It's not in the center of the village nor in front to the beach (but it's quite close, though - 5 minutes by car).
This was 1 of the loveliest places I have ever stayed. Jose & Theresa were so friendly& helpful . THe guesthouse itself was beautifully laid out & the rooms were spotless. Sunloungers in front garden, little terrace with tables & chairs, a truly lovely breakfast with the most scrumptious fresh rolls & coffee. Nothing was too much even finding out train timetables for us & finding alternative accomm for us when we made an impromptu decision to stay an extra 2 days. Cant praise this place enough.
It's on a roundabout with 5 roads leading off it but honestly ( & I'm a really bad sleeper) it doesn't cause a problem as the double-glazing is very effective & ear plugs guarantee a good sleep. The + side of the location is that it's a 3 min. walk to the train station fro where you can get a ticket to Faro for 4 euro pp!!! Taxi works out at approx 55-60euro.
what a pleasant surprise superb value,staff couldnt do more
Excellent welcome and extremely helpful staff. Convenient location to explore the local area and further afield over the Spanish boarder.
apart from the good quality of the accomandation it accessibility to the main highway was excellent making it a perfect location for a base.
