Overlooking the Ria Formosa nature reserve and with spectacular views of the Algarve coastline, this little patch of paradise sits on a hilltop behind Almancil and the Golden Triangle resorts of Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo, in an area of natural rugged beauty. It is an oasis of tranquility and the epitome of slow living. An idyllic hilltop hideaway yet only six minutes from motorway connections spanning the whole Algarve …... Almancil, the hub of the Golden Triangle, with its quality restaurants and leisure opportunities, is 7 kms from Monte Borboleta. The charming village of Santa Barbara de Nexe is 2.8 kms, the market town of Loule 5.7 kms, the historic capital Faro 14kms. The Algarve’s largest and newest Mall, MAR Shopping Algarve and its adjacent Designer Outlet Village, are just seven minutes drive. ……. There are five accommodations to choose from, set out in the manner of a tiny Portuguese village clustered around a shared saltwater pool: two charming cottages, two romantic apartments and an enchanting main house. All have air-conditioned bedrooms, a kitchen or kitchenette and an outdoor terrace for dining .….. Monte Borboleta is accomodation only (there are two supermarkets at the nearby MAR Shopping) but we aim to provide all the home comforts of a hotel ……. Beds are doubles convertible to singles, and are laid with linen, bath and pool towels. Complimentary soap and shampoo is provided in dispensers, along with bathrobes and blankets. There is no daily room cleaning but we will exchange towels on reasonable request and bedding on longer stays …… For safety reasons and to maintain the magic of Monte Borboleta and its ambient calm, children under the age of 15 are not allowed. This is a place to slow down, relax and absorb the wonder of nature but also a perfect springboard to explore the myriad attractions of this beautiful region.

To ensure you get the most from your stay, we will take pleasure in sharing with you our enthusiasm for the Algarve - its stunning landscapes, beaches, culture and cuisine - and in guiding you to our favorite places.

Near arrival we’ll send you an extensive list of beach, restaurant, shopping tips via WhattsApp. There are so many great locations to explore and restaurants to satisfy every taste and budget. But if all you desire is a tranquil setting to unwind, while breathing some of the best quality air in Europe, you could not choose better. We look forward to welcoming you to our little patch of paradise in the heart of the Algarve. NOTE: Please note that a deposit is required on reservation, fully refundable up to 30 days before arrival when flexible rate selected.
