Monte Gois Country House e Spa  

Out in the rolling countryside of Almodôvar, this country house and spa sits within reach of the Algarve coast. It’s about 43 km from Loulé and close enough for day trips to Belharucas and Olhos d'Água beaches and Zoomarine. Pet-friendly and with free on-site parking, it’s a chill base for beach and countryside mixes.

A small property with just 10 guestrooms, the rooms have flat-screen TVs, satellite channels and private showers with complimentary toiletries and hairdryers. The lobby centers on a cozy fireplace, and wellness touches include a massage room, sauna and a fitness center. Practical extras include an elevator, DVD players in some rooms, daily housekeeping and cribs or irons available on request.

Dip into one of two outdoor pools, relax in the sauna or hit the gym for a quick workout. There’s a barbecue area, luggage storage, complimentary newspapers in the lobby and multilingual staff to help with local tips. Expect quiet countryside mornings and easy access to both beach days and Algarve attractions.

Complimentary wireless internet is available across the property and free self-parking makes arrivals simple. Luggage storage and a helpful front desk add convenience for short stays or working travelers.

An on-site restaurant and a coffee shop/café serve meals and snacks, while the bar/lounge is set up for evening drinks. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 9:00–11:00, and the barbecue area invites casual al fresco grilling.
