Casa Sofia - 2 bedroom apartment in quiet street in picturesque rural Monchique

2 bedroom flat in the most peaceful street in the village of Monchique. 25min drive from quieter beaches in the West and busier ones in the South. if you're looking to avoid the Touristy busy-ness, this is a good place for that. Monchique boasts of some amazing walking trails, natural sprint Spa, genuine great produce on the food and drink front and an amazing sense of community. For example, you can go to the big supermarket and chances are, the lady at the checkout will know every other person There’s also a large public pool in a beautiful outdoor space that is free entry 5 minute walk away. there's lots to see and to do

Spacious modern apartment in a wonderful town
This is a spacious apartment in an old, maze-like part of Monchique. The apartment is hard to find, as is parking the first time, but once you figure out the maze, you appreciate Monchique all the more. The neighbors across the street who greet you are wonderful people, and despite their not speaking English, everything is pretty well communicated. We enjoyed Monchique's access to hiking trails (the Via Algarviana runs through Monchique, and the hike up to Foia is worth all the effort, and up to Picota even more so) and its overall character. The apartment is in a lovely quiet part of town (save one dog who may bark until its person comes home). The bed is very comfortable, and the kitchen is simply but adequately equipped. We cooked in successfully. If you want to be in a quiet part of the Algarve, away from the tourists, traffic, and crowds, this is a great choice.

Ferienwohnung in Monchique
Sehr netter Empfang und guter Kontakt zum Vermieter. Ferienwohnung war in Ordnung. Bis zum Meer an den Strand sind es ca. 35 min mit dem Auto.

excellent rooms, very nice contact
If you are looking for a very nice and modern apartment, you should choose this one! english speaking whatsapp-contact is answering all questions regarding our booking, before and while our stay. In Monchique you get the keys from the friendly neighbours. They dont speak english but that wasnt a problem at all. The rooms are modern and very clean with a stunning kitchen I would love to take back to my home ;) The apartment isnt easy to find and we got stuck in the small Monchique streets. Follow the route on the map you get before your stay. Parking is easy around the marked spots, only a minute away from the apartment.
