We first discovered Armona on a day trip several years ago, and this September was our third time holidaying on the island. The island of Armona is beautiful and peaceful. The house is well situated, just two minutes from one of the small shops and restaurants on the island, about 5 minutes walk in one direction to the ferry, and 15 minutes in the other direction, along the path and boardwalk, to Armona beach. The house is very well fitted out, with far more plates, cutlery and cooking equipment than we needed… even a toaster and a kettle! The dishwasher was a bonus too. The best part of the house for us was the covered terrace. All through the day this has some shade and some sun, so is perfect of eating, reading and just relaxing. It’s above the surrounding houses, so has a view in several directions (we watched to moonrise from here). Monica greeted us on our arrival to show us around, and was easy to contact if we needed anything. It was lovely holiday and a lovely place to stay… we hope to go back… thoroughly recommend it.

Truly wonderful place with spacious outside area and a lot of privacy on idyllic Armona island. Monica and her family are very friendly and helpful. Thanks!

We loved our stay in this beautiful house on armona. The house is very well equipped and decorated. We will be back!

Perfect location very homely.

The owner was really helpful meeting us when we arrived and showing us around. She also contacted us during our stay to see if all was okay for us. They have provided everything you could wish for to have a comfortable holiday. Would certainly like to go back again.

Monica is a fabulous, helpful host. And the house itself is amazing. We enjoyed the time on the island as much as we can. Obrigado!

We’ve stayed on Armona a few times but this was our first time in this house. It was a great experience and to have all the mod cons you would find at home was a bonus. The house has 3 equally comfortable bedrooms. There’s plenty of storage in the bedrooms so unpacking your things is really easy. The kitchen is well equipped - probably one of the best I’ve seen in a holiday rental. If you are planning on having most of your meals at home I can’t recommend it enough. Great for our small family with a good oven and plenty of plates. Having Wi-fi in the house was a huge bonus for us as we are both self employed. The weather outside was not great when we arrived but the house has plenty of heaters which warmed us up nicely! Our son loved the big shower - there was always hot water for all of us. Put simply, if you’re going to stay on Armona stay here - it’s a gem.

We visited Ilha da Armona as day trippers 4 years ago and promised ourselves we'd stay on the island next time. Our holiday was precious to us and we did lots of research to find a home with modern comforts in a great location. We found it! This home has been in Monica's family for generations and is their holiday retreat too. It has been thoughtfully equipped and would be great for couples and families with 3 bedrooms, a large shower in the main bathroom and a great kitchen. Monica has installed air con in the main living room/ kitchen and 2 of the bedrooms, creating a cool and welcoming space after a day on the beach. The windows are new with insect mesh screens - an essential addition which we didn't notice on other properties. We spent a lot of time on the veranda. we drank coffee at 8am in warm sunshine and watched the stars from the loungers at night. It's a peaceful location about a third of the way from the ferry terminal and Atlantic beach. Opposite King Chameleon for those that know the island. It's off the main path so you'll have lots of privacy while enjoying views over the Ria Formosa towards Fuseta. It inspired us to get up early and explore the island before heading to the beach. Your host is wonderful. Monica cares about her home, the island and your neighbours. She wants you to have the best holiday and describes Armona as "paradise". She communicates by email and eventually we swapped numbers so we could meet up and be guided to the property. You'll love meeting her and she'll share lots of useful tips (best restaurants, where to buy bread and essentials etc.) Thank you for a great holiday Monica and we'll see you soon.
