Moncarapacho was actually better than we thought at first sight. It's just a very small very quiet rural town with nothing to recommend it. There are 2 supermarkets with reasonable prices, a v good bakers housing a coffee/cakes bar, a couple of restaurants - we went to Colibri (I think) twice - very good but very simple. To find any more to say would be surprising.
Review by Jaci & Keith Chesworth from Hazel Grove Cheshire
Moncarapacho a small town with some excellent inexpensive restaurants do not be put of by the exterior of some of them.
Review by betty buchan from edinburgh
Moncarapacho was only minutes away by car and was convenient to buy groceries and the daily papers. Could buy papers on the day they were printed and not two or three days later. Reasonably priced cafes but I found the place itself a bit boring. Not much going on!

Review by Colin & Aideen Rochford from Wicklow, Ireland
This holiday was perfect for us. We returned home totally refreshed and relaxed. This was top class in every aspect. The accomodation was spotless and very well maintained. In the villa itself there was a very well laid out guide of "where to go and what to do". We had three young children with us and they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The local bistro and the restaurants in Moncarpacho were all very welcoming and the food was great. This holiday was our seventh time to visit Portugal... this visit was by far the best, we really relaxed ..We will definitely be going again.
Review by Julia Gascoyne from Wokingham
We were a bit lazy the first week and generally popped to the town in the afternoons for extra provisions, when Moncarapacho seemed extremely quite; also you may be disappointed at the lack of fresh fish in the local supermarkets, albeit that Olihao is not that far where you'll find everything in abundance. However, if you do manage to go to town in the morning you will find it to be quite a bustling little place, with plenty of locals watching the word go by in the cafe's a small bars and there is an indoor market just behind the first bar on the left going in to town which does supply a good range of fresh fish, veg and meat.
It's great to have a choice of local 'supermarkets' as what you can't get a one, you're bound to get at the other.
Great choice of restaurants too and the local 'internet cafe' is a real bonus for home coming check in.
Review by Jackie Beckett from Morecambe
Unspoilt rural Algarve with a wonderful Sunday Market with local farmers selling fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and local produce.
Review by Helen Hopwood from Ampthill
Pleasant, unspoilt area with a handy supermarket and some friendly places to eat
Review by Janet Whitaker from Grundisburgh, Suffolk
We found it a pleasure to be on holiday in such an unspoilt, rural setting, but if you wanted more hustle and bustle Villamoura is only a 30 minute drive away. Moncarapacho is close to great golf courses and lovely beaches.
Review by PETER CONEY from BOURNEMOUTH
Having been to the Algarve 3 times before we decided to explore the Eastern side and were not disappointed.The restaurants in the village were very friendly,particularly with the kids,and the food we had was excellent.
Review by Kevin Stone from Torreguadiaro, Spain
A wonderful escape to recharge the batteries. Very quiet and relaxing!
Review by Mandy Lawrence from Worsley
One of the most unspoilt area in Portugal, We have been going for over 10 years and would like it to be kept a secret.
Review by jim harwood from northants
Good value relaxing holiday with lots to do.
Review by Ian Whitehouse from Shatton, Derbyshire
Whilst the Eastern Algarve is undeveloped as yet, the small towns contain some great restaurants/bistros. Moncarapacho itself is fairly typical unspoilt small town where the development has been restricted to parts of the surrounding countryside. It reminds us of the Western Algarve 25 years ago!
Review by Diana Scott from Stafford
Moncarapacho was a typical small Portuguese Village, few shops and restaurants. Quite adequate for a get away from it all holiday. Nice food, and very friendly.
Review by Joanne & Steve Dudeney from Essex
A wonderful little town which needs exploring to be fully appreciated!
