Algarve, Olhão, Portugal

Nestled in the peaceful countryside between Moncarapacho and Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo, this fully renovated 3 bedroom quinta enjoys a highly desirable location in the Eastern Algarve. The charming village of Moncarapacho, with its authentic markets, local restaurants and welcoming atmosphere, is just a short drive away, while the picturesque fishing village of Fuzeta and its golden beaches lie close at hand. Set on a private, levelled and fully fenced plot of over 5,000 m², the property was completely renovated in 2023 with great care to preserve its authentic character. Original wooden ceilings with exposed beams add warmth throughout, while modern comforts create an inviting and flexible home. The quinta offers a total of three bedrooms and two modern bathrooms, thoughtfully arranged across two wings of the house. This clever configuration allows the property to be used as one residence or divided into two independent living units—a two bedroom home and a separate one bedroom unit, each with its own entrance and therefore offering excellent potential for guest accommodation, rental income or multi-generational living. With its generous outdoor areas and flat terrain, the property is particularly well-suited for family life, allowing children to play safely and also the possibility of keeping animals. Technically the property is exceptionally well equipped with underfloor heating powered by a heat pump, air conditioning for both heating and cooling, a pellet burner and solar panels providing hot water – all conspiring to award the home a solid B energy certificate. An above-ground swimming pool completes this exceptional countryside retreat, offering a refreshing escape on warm Algarve days. Viewings are highly recommended.

Moncarapacho
Moncarapacho, a typical village of the Algarve’s Barrocal, is situated among soft hills where fig trees, almond and pomegranate trees are plentiful. Moncarapacho offers many amenities yet enjoys a friendly small town character. There is plenty to do with the very active Casa do Povo (the village association) which offers different courses for residents ranging from Yoga, to painting to Portuguese lessons.
From Moncarapacho, it is a short distance to the top of the 411 metre Cerro de São Miguel which is the highest point of the Eastern Algarve and offers one of the most beautiful panoramic views in the whole area. The coastal town of Fuzeta, with its stunning blue flag beach and sea front restaurants, is only a 10 minute drive away. Moncarapacho is the perfect countryside retreat for those looking for a more peaceful pace of life.

Fuzeta
Fuzeta was still an unknown village for many up to about 10 years ago, but has since become a popular destination for many Northern Europeans, who wish to wake up and smell the sea. Fuzeta adjoins the ocean, but compared to many of the other coastal towns, benefits not only from a stunning island (the Ilha da Fuzeta) but also a wider beach strip that invites to go for walks along the waterfront in wintertime without having to cross over to the islands.

Fuzeta has a great fish market, and a vibrant little town centre with bars that attract residents, tourists, surfers and water sport lovers alike. The fish restaurants offer good quality Portuguese food at fantastic prices and there is a local second hand market that is held once a month. The town has a train station whilst both Tavira and Faro are just a 15 minute drive away.
