Quinta da Fonte em Moncarapacho
Quinta da Fonte em Moncarapacho is an apartment hotel on a former farm with whitewashed buildings and red tile roofs set in a quiet, green setting. The property features simply furnished apartments, a large salt-water pool overlooking the countryside, and well-maintained gardens with trees and flowers.
The place started as a farm where vegetables, fruits, and herbs were grown for many generations. The traditional buildings were later carefully renovated and converted into a guest house, preserving the old structure and rural character.
The name Quinta da Fonte refers to its traditional function as a farm centered around a water source, visible in the local architecture with whitewashed walls and red tile roofs. The place is now used as a welcoming retreat where visitors can experience the simple, rural way of life in the region.
The place is about 15 minutes from Faro Airport and easily reached via quiet rural roads. Free parking on site, breakfast, airport shuttle, and laundry service are available, and small pets are welcome.
The property features a heated salt-water pool with a fountain and surrounded by green countryside, a rare feature in the area. This mix of rustic charm and modern comfort gives visitors an uncommon retreat in rural Algarve.
