Moorish architecture and charm are at every turn with a stay at this crisp, contemporary townhouse set right in the beating heart of Tavira, one of the Algarve's most dazzling coastal town gems. Discover its shady squares, leafy gardens, a crumbling hilltop castle, and an old Roman bridge above the Gilão River. And just wait until you hop on the ferry bound for the unspoilt golden shores of Ilha de Tavira. Stretching for over ten kilometres and flanked by straw parasols and beachside restaurants, this is the East Coast at its best.

When it's time to beat the heat and rest up at home, you'll love this three-storey townhouse's fresh and uplifting interiors. Once a former olive mill, the house has been carefully converted with light-filled rooms throughout, thanks to Juliet balconies and terraces galore. Each bedroom and ensuite sits on a separate floor, so there's plenty of space to spill out. And when it's time to get together and soak up the sunshine, you can't go wrong with an afternoon lolling about the shared pool and terraces surrounded by fragrant citrus trees and magenta bougainvillaea.

Speaking of indoors, you'll find several living areas in the open and airy space – ideal if the heat gets too much. And while you won't find much to do in the immediate area, you're a thirty-five-minute bus journey from the beach, and the palm-tree-lined Ribeirinha Promenade is just fifteen minutes away.

Nestled in Albufeira, this apartment offers easy access to a selection of beaches on the Algarve coast. Dine out on your private balcony, albeit a little overlooked by neighbouring homes, and you can even catch a glimpse of the sea peeking through the buildings. If that’s not the perfect spot to start your day, morning coffee in hand, then we recommend making your way to the rooftop terrace. Shared with the other residents, this communal space promises views that you’ll never tire of – best enjoyed, we think, from the refreshing waters of the pool.

This stylishly designed apartment is waiting to welcome you on your peaceful trip to the Algarve.

Why book a single apartment when you can reserve the whole building instead? That's the question prompted by this colossal address on the Algarve, which comprises of eleven separate homes on the same site.

It's a great option for families or couples travelling together as part of a larger group, as each unit has its own lounge, kitchen and private terrace. All of them bear traditional Mediterranean influences in the interior design, with lots of whitewashed walls, natural light and terracotta tiling underfoot.

However, when you want to gather together again, there's plenty of outdoor space in which you can do just that. As well as a large swimming pool – complete with a neighbouring children's pool and separate Jacuzzi – there's an alfresco dining table and a barbecue so you can enjoy open-air feasts that stretch long into the night.

What's more, filling up an itinerary will be one of the easiest things you're ever tasked with.

After a busy day, pick up some local food and head home to enjoy the private patio. The garden is a relaxing spot to spend an evening, with comfy sun loungers and space to unwind.

Lost In Luz

In the pleasant market town of Loulé, this apartment is ideal for a family seeking an authentic Algarve escape. The patio was the first thing that caught our eye – with its barbecue, it's perfect for alfresco meals in the shade. Talking of eating, there's also the well-equipped kitchen, and there's plenty of eateries within walking distance too. At capacity, two guests will be using the living area's sofa bed, so space might be a little tight. Luckily, Loulé offers plenty of reasons to be out exploring, and you can take a bus directly to the coast in less than an hour.

Algarve Whispers

Found in arguably one of the Algarve’s most charming coastal towns, Tavira, the setting for this sleek townhouse is hard to beat. Spend your days ambling through the historic Moorish streets surrounding the home – a sunny square dotted with cafes is waiting for you. And when the sea air calls, just hop on the ferry weaving down the Gilão River to the unspoilt, golden shores of Ilha de Tavira – trips to the beach don’t get much more scenic than this.

Back home, the interiors of this three-storey townhouse are as polished and contemporary as they come. So, it's a surprise to hear that this building started as a humble olive mill. Pay homage to the home’s past with a Mediterranean feast around that light-filled dining area – the nearby daily food market will deliver all the goods, including lashings of olive oil for salad plates. Then the rest of the day is yours to hang out beside the shared pool terraces. Surrounded by tumbling bougainvillaea and fragrant citrus trees, it’s a fine place to spend the day. And when it’s finally time to lay your heads, each bedroom with ensuite is set out on a separate floor, so you can all spill out with a little extra space and privacy here.

Paid Parking

Perfect for a family getaway by the coast, this bright and breezy villa in Albufeira boasts sparkling sea views – best enjoyed from the private balcony over a bottle of wine, although the vistas are visible from many rooms inside, too. Some of the bedrooms are a bit of a squeeze, and the balcony is the only outdoor space, but with Túnel beach just fifty metres away and a great selection of beachfront eateries to enjoy, you’re likely to spend most of your time lapping up the Portuguese sun away from home.

The sandy shores at Praia do Garrão Nascente are just a five-minute walk away, and there are several waterside restaurants to visit if you've worked up an appetite.
