We loved our stay here. Our family of 5 visited in the heat of August and made great use of the local pool and some smaller ones in surrounding villages. We loved wandering through the old passages and stairways, the town is just so full of character! Air conditioning was a godsend on a couple of hot evenings, the beds are comfortable and we all slept really well (although the endless barking of a neighbour's dog was a little irritating ). The kitchen is small and cleverly laid out with a lot stored high and accessed by steps. A cheese grater would have been welcome and pot pourri in the salad bowl was pretty but meant we couldn't actually use it. The kids were thrilled to have TV with Disney channel! There is a laundromat at Intermarché. We would have loved some guidance on waste segregation - we separated our recycling and left it, hoping for the best, but after having checked out I spotted municipal recycling, and even community compost (near the pool, actually!) which we would have gladly used. In all, I can imagine Casa Sofia would be a great place to visit anytime of year and I hope we can visit again some day.

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.

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.

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.
