Location & Activities
Moncarapacho is an ideal village to escape to for a relaxing vacation spent by the pool, on excursions to nearby towns, or taking the local ferry to the beautiful beaches on the surrounding islands. While close to larger cities, such as Olhão, Faro, and Tavira, Moncarapacho is an authentic village where you get to experience local culture and food at a slow pace--you can enjoy a coffee at the town square, go olive oil tasting at the Monterosa olive oil farm, or read a book by your own private pool.
Local beaches and islands
The area is filled with islands with beautiful beaches. The closest beach is just 5-10 minutes driving away from the property in the picturesque small town Fuseta.

On the island is a beach bar serving drinks and food you can enjoy from your sunbed--a perfect place to spend a vacation day.
