About this property

On top of the Algarve

Set in a peaceful and tranquil location, high in the Serra de Monchique, The Studio at Fóia Mountain Lodge is a charming 1 bedroom apartment with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and distant views to the sea.

You will enjoy light, modern interiors, finished to a high standard and generously equipped to ensure that you have everything you need for a relaxed and indulgent stay.

There is also a swimming pool, perfect for cooling off on a hot day.



The Studio is a self-contained 1 bedroom apartment with its own private entrance and parking area.

You'll have a small, but fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable lounge space, and a separate bedroom with blackout blinds for a good night's sleep.

High-speed satellite internet (Starlink) is available, with download/upload speeds of around 100mbps/10mbps.

The lodge is surrounded by nature, with hiking trails on your doorstep, and there are plenty of opportunities for walking, mountain biking, and exploring the local area.

The small mountain town of Monchique is about 4km away, and offers a variety of shops and restaurants, including a well stocked supermarket (Intermarche).

Some of the best beaches in the Algarve are accessible within about 40 mins drive, and the larger towns of Lagos and Portimão are both about 45 mins away, for a greater choice of restaurants and nightlife.

We look forward to welcoming you.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include an oven and a stovetop.
