Wintering in the Algarve
Boutique Guesthouse-Moncarapacho in Portugal, in the eastern Algarve near Spain, will open on July 1, 2025 and will be open to winter visitors from October 15, 2025!
The winter months at our Guesthouse are from October 15, 2025 - April 15, 2026. We have fond memories of this period. Breakfast in the sun around 10 am and back inside around half past four when the sun sets. Then it really gets colder and it is more comfortable inside.
Also in these months we like to have lunch on the various terraces in Olhao, Fuseta or in our own village Moncarapacho. Nice outside in the sun, a thick sweater is really not necessary! There are also many other people in this period of the year who enjoy the wonderful temperature and the pleasant bustle in the restaurants and shops.

The weather
Yes, of course it rains sometimes. Good for replenishing the water supply in Portugal and our Mediterranean garden. And for the evening and the morning you really need a sweater, it cools down considerably. We haven't worn a jacket yet, but we have many layers. When the sun starts to shine you can at least take off some layers! Read here about the 12 months of weather in the Algarve.
When it is less sunny, you have large shopping malls in the area. But also many nice restaurants where you can also eat delicious Portuguese dishes, tapas, Chinese or sushi. It is all there. A lovely breeze at the sea is another good option!
And of course you can participate in the various activities here in the area. Think of yoga, painting courses, Portuguese lessons, gym, walking trips, golf, swimming. You will also find plenty of wellness here. A wonderful massage, facial or having your nails done in our village. We will gladly make an appointment for you!
Casa Pauline and Casa Florine Overwintering (long stay)
Our accommodations are luxuriously and cozily furnished and are comfortable due to underfloor heating. In Casa Pauline There is also a wood stove and it is a wonderful place to stay in colder weather.
It is now possible to book our two holiday accommodations Casa Pauline and Casa Florine for wintering. The minimum period is 4 weeks and the maximum wintering period is from October 15, 2025 to April 15, 2026.
Both Casa Pauline and Casa Florine will be kept free for winterers from 15 October to 15 April. In mid-July 2025, when winterers have already had the opportunity to make their booking for winter 2025-2026, the calendar will be opened again for shorter winter bookings.
Dutch club Algarve
The NCA, or Dutch Club Algarve, offers Dutch speaking members and non-members all kinds of activities throughout the Algarve. These vary from coffee mornings, (architectural) tours through the city, beautiful organized walks, creative workshops, drinks at the most beautiful places and much more.
You can participate in this for a small fee or become a member. You can follow them on the Facebook page of the NCA and their website Nederlandse Club Algarve .

Remote working
Our two accommodations are also suitable if you want to work remotely for a longer period during the winter months. We provide a good office chair, lighting and of course a good internet connection.
Small warning
In short, if you want to escape the Dutch winter, see if wintering suits you. You can start with a month and if you like it, book for a longer period the following year.
A little warning in advance. Once you have spent the winter, you will not want anything else! Do not wait too long to decide. The number of accommodations for comfortable wintering here in the Algarve is not that big.
If you want to hibernate next winter, be sure to book accommodation with good (floor) heating. Most (holiday) homes in Portugal are not set up for the winter period like we are in the Netherlands. Outside it is often warmer than inside! From 2025 you are very welcome with us!
