HOTEL
Termas de Monchique Hotels
(Termas de Monchique; s/d €105/140) Termas de Monchique owns four hotels, all of which have
the same room rates (and include breakfast). You can book weekend or week-long pack-
ages that include treatments. Prices are cheaper in low season.
Situated next to the Termas de Monchique spa, Hotel Termal is the oldest, biggest (and
least modern) hotel of the spa's four hotels. Next to the spa's main reception, Hotel Central
has 13 beautifully furnished rooms. Estalagem Dom Lourenço is the most luxurious option, but
for style, Hotel Dom Carlos is the newest and most contemporary.

Eating
Café Império
( 282 912 290; mains €6-12; lunch & dinner Wed-Mon) From the outside there's nothing particu-
larly hot, although the view it offers of the valley is lovely. Locals flock to this place for
what is reputedly the best piri-piri chicken in the region. Heading north, it's 700m on the
left-hand side past the turn-off to Caldas - look for the tiled 'Schweppes' sign on the wall.
GRILL HOUSE
Restaurante 1692
(mains €9-18; lunch & dinner) This upmarket place has tables in the tree-shaded central
square, and a classy interior.
