Monchique is a very busy small market town located in the forested Serra de Monchique. The town feels like real Portugal and is a welcome change to the hustle and bustle of the popular holiday hotspots in the Algarve. Breathtaking views and wonderful walks to the summit are just part of the natural charm and ambience that may be enjoyed by all who visit. Nearby Caldas do Monchique is in a valley abundant with trees of Eucalyptus and Mimosa, the Spa is very fashionable and has recently been refurbished offering many types of therapeutic treatments emanating from the natural mountain spring waters. Historically, the Romans loved its 32ºC slightly sulphurous waters! With the quiet and peaceful surroundings this surely must be a favourite haunt for those seeking nature at its finest together with tranquillity. The Residencia Minhu, ´The Jewel of Monchique`, is a wonderful opportunity to purchase a well presented Guest House/Residencia, currently run in conjunction with a small restaurant and licensed bar. Approached by a paved walkway through the forest some 10metres from the main Residencia is a converted farmhouse currently utilised as the owner’s family residence. The accommodation & facilities at the Residencia comprises as follows: Guest House has 7 double rooms, 2 single (all bar one have en suite bath rooms), separate reception area, kitchens, laundry, patio area, separate self contained apartment, off road parking for approximately 10 cars and use of small pool.

The climate is very agreeable in this area being some 5 degrees cooler in the summer and sheltered from coastal winds in the winter months These 2 properties are offered as joint venture, however the Residencia / Restaurant / Bar complete with furniture, (other than personal items), and equipment may be purchased as separate business (price on application).
