Weddings at Monte do Facho
A Monte do Facho wedding is listed for 20 to 150 guests on a venue-hire basis.[1] The undated directory does not state whether VAT is included. It names a civil ceremony area, terrace, garden, pool and catering kitchen, with celebrations ending at midnight and one event held per day.[2][3]

How much does a Monte do Facho wedding cost?
A Monte do Facho wedding is listed on a venue-hire basis for groups from 20 to 150.[1] The directory range has no year, season or VAT statement, and no qualifying venue-owned wedding tariff was found. Ask for a current official quote tied to your date, guest count and access hours.
The listing describes venue-only hire and says outside catering can use the kitchen.[2] Ask for an itemised proposal separating the estate fee, catering, furniture, staffing, cleaning, security and VAT. That is the only fair comparison with a hotel menu or a complete package.
Which spaces can we use?
The directory names a civil ceremony space, terrace, garden, pool and kitchen for caterer use.[2] It does not give a separate capacity or fee for each area.[6] A viewing should therefore test the actual flow: where guests arrive, where drinks happen, how dinner fits, where music goes and what remains usable if the weather changes.
The estate listing seats up to 150 overall.[5] If you are planning for 80 guests or more, request two layouts: the maximum seated dinner and the same room with a dance floor. Those are often different numbers.
| Space | Setting | Guests |
|---|---|---|
| Civil area | Ceremony | Not stated[6] |
| Terrace | Outdoor | Not stated[6] |
| Garden | Outdoor | Not stated[6] |
| Whole venue | Estate | Up to 150[5] |
The pool and caterer's kitchen are also listed, without individual capacity or fee.[2] Ask which spaces are inside the hire boundary and whether suppliers may access them before guest arrival.
What is the finish time?
The directory states that celebrations end at midnight and that one event takes place per day.[3] Midnight is an important budget and atmosphere decision, not a small-print detail. Ask when the bar stops, when amplified music stops and when transport must collect the final guests.
One event per day gives a useful question about access, but it does not by itself define exclusive use. Ask when the first supplier may arrive, which areas remain private, and when the kitchen and hired furniture must be cleared. Put those hours beside the midnight finish so the caterer, music team and transport provider all quote the same working window.[3]
If dancing later matters, compare the rule with Pestana Alvor Praia. If a garden day matters more, browse garden wedding settings and the wider Alvor venue area.
How far is Monte do Facho from Faro Airport?
The directory map places the property at approximately 37.1219, -8.57464, but the source record does not contain a verified driving-time estimate.[7] Do not use a town-centre journey as if it were the venue journey. Confirm the entrance pin with the venue, then price coach and taxi transfers from that point.
This matters for guests choosing accommodation. A venue described as Alvor or Portimão can still produce a very different late-night transfer depending on its entrance road and the hotel's location.
What should we confirm before paying a deposit?
Put these questions into the same email so the answers arrive together:
- Which dates and seasons does the directory hire range cover?
- Is VAT included, and what does the hire fee include?
- Which caterers may use the kitchen, and what equipment is provided?
- What is the indoor seated rain plan?
- Does midnight mean music off or all guests gone?
- Is the venue exclusive for the whole access period?
The directory classifies Monte do Facho as an estate in Alvor, in Portimão municipality.[4] Until a current official brochure confirms the commercial terms, keep every unpublished cost as a separate line in your working budget.
Accommodation is another open item. The listing does not publish guest rooms at the estate, so plan on comparing bases in Alvor and Portimão unless the venue confirms otherwise. Ask taxi and coach providers to quote from the exact entrance, then include the last collection time in guest information. This is especially important when the published celebration finish is midnight.
For Algarve-wide guidance, the named IPMA Faro station's 1991–2020 normal gives May an average high of 23.5°C with 3.8 rain days. September averages 26.4°C with 1.9 rain days.[8][9] These are historical regional averages, not a forecast for Monte do Facho. Use them to ask about ceremony shade, terrace wind and a fully seated indoor alternative.
The nearest town guide is Alvor. No verified Faro-airport route is present in the venue record, so confirm the entrance pin before calculating a drive time from that exact point.
For a ceremony in the garden or civil area, ask who supplies chairs, signing table, shade and power.[2] The directory confirms the spaces but gives no individual capacity, so your contract should name the actual ceremony location and the indoor alternative rather than referring only to the estate.
Next step: See every package price, then compare Monte do Facho using the same guest number, meal scope and finish time as every other venue.
