Ideally located in Albufeira, this villa is perfect for families. It’s just 1 kilometre from the soft sand of Praia da Faleisa and 800 metres from Pine Cliffs golf course, so there’s something for everyone. Kids will love splashing about in the private pool, while grown-ups can look forward to sipping drinks on the terrace. It’s worth noting that two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room, where privacy is limited, and that some of the decor is a touch dated. 

Summer in Algarve

Soak up the coastal views at this villa overlooking Maria Luísa Beach. Whether you're lounging on the sun-kissed terrace, cooling off in the private pool, or dining alfresco with the sea as your backdrop, we think this is Algarve living at its finest. Inside, the design merges traditional character with colourful accents and contemporary touches. Tiled bathrooms, stone walls, and light-filled living spaces – it feels like a true home from home. The cherry on top is the direct access to the beach via stairs at the edge of the garden. Of course, plenty of other popular beaches are within driving distance, too.

Coastal Sun

This stylishly designed apartment is waiting to welcome you on your peaceful trip to the Algarve. The biggest draw of the home is, of course, the large rooftop terrace offering views over this scenic landscape, but we also adore the little balcony, overlooking the Ria Formosa lagoon nearby, perfect for morning coffees in the sunshine. You’ll be in a central spot, close to the ferry boat to Beach Island so you can spend time relaxing on Praia de Cabana, while the charming fishing village of Cabanas, with its delicious seafood restaurants, can be reached in just two minutes by foot.

Inside, it's a wonderfully bright and open living space, where you can sink into the modern modular sofa or gather around the sleek dining table at the end of a long day spent sunbathing or exploring. The bedrooms are just as light and comfortable, while the kitchen will make preparing supper a breeze.

In The Sunshine

With a wonderful location near the Vila Real de Santo António waterfront, this stylish one-bedroom apartment offers a sleek base from which to discover the Algarve coast. The minimal living space is defined by a statement waved wall – making this pad feel vibrant in the best way. And with a comfortable interior, a rooftop terrace and a shared pool, we think this pad would be ideal for a solo traveller or a couple. With the marina’s restaurants and promenade a short walk away and the Marshland Nature Reserve of Castro Marim a short drive, it’s effortless to make the most of your location.

Real Blush

This rustic hideaway opens its doors to sweeping views and a range of features that will make you want to settle in and stay. From the heated pool and expansive garden to the games room and elegant bedrooms, you’ll find yourself in the perfect spot for pure relaxation. And for those in search of adventure, it’s just a twenty-minute drive to the beaches at Praia de Falésia and Olhos de Agua, while the nearest amenities are in Boliqueime – just 4 kilometres away. 


The Delightful

They say a picture speaks a thousand words, but even the gorgeous imagery of this property can't quite convey the uniquely magical feeling you will experience here. 

Nestled in amongst the rustling branches of olive trees and fragrant expanses of orange groves, this home is not only a delight to behold, but a treat for the rest of your senses too. Enjoy an unparalleled feeling of seclusion, pure understated luxury, and the particular tranquility that this part of the Algarve's hinterland offers those who visit.

Set on a large plot of around 86,000 square feet, the house looks out over the unspoiled verdant countryside between the towns of Silves and Messines, each of which is renowned for its abundance of typically Portuguese charm – kept alive by means of its authentic eateries and watering holes frequented by locals who come for a drink of the potent local tipple, Medronho (first-timers, beware!). 

Beautifully designed spaces within the home strike the perfect balance between elegant modernity and traditional stateliness, as its richness of original features is accented by the addition of high-end contemporary conveniences in order to provide you with a base that is comfortable without sacrificing character making for a truly unforgettable stay. 

We especially love the hints of Moorish influence such as we see in the pretty lanterns that create beautifully intricate patterns on the wall as well as the solid wood doors with cast iron detailing, whilst the quirky bathrooms, each with its own gorgeous freestanding bathtub further underscores the distinctive individuality of this home.

Make the most of the Algarve's average 300 sunny days per year and replenish your stocks of vitamin D as you lounge by the simply stunning pool area before making your way to the outdoor kitchen for a light lunch of Portuguese specialties, which can consist of anything from fantastically fresh sardines pulled from the water just 20-minutes away and grilled, to traditional chicken piri-piri, or the prized Porco Preto (black pork) from the region. 

Then the afternoon is yours to spend however you choose. Recline beneath a tree branch and dive into a good book, head down to the coast for a few hours of sand and surf, or make the most of the myriad hiking, biking, and golfing opportunities on offer here in one of the most bewitching parts of Portugal.

We think this home is perfect for large, extended family or friend groups as the separate two-bedroom apartment located just by the pool area offers additional privacy and a chance for undisturbed relaxation – something which often comes at a premium when travelling as part of a larger party! Three bedrooms each housing three single beds are ideal for children staying at the property.

Feeling Moorish in the Mountains

Just about a kilometre from the nearest sandy beach of Praia do Cavalo Preto, you will find this striking holiday villa in the quintessential Portuguese town of Quarteira. 

We love how this home brings the outside in and, indeed, the inside out – thanks in part to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the living spaces with light and provide direct access to the garden and its outdoor kitchen with dining table, laid-back seating area, and shaded terraces that are perfect for getting out of the sun and into a good book. 

In the summer months in particular, the carefully designed exterior spaces of the property are all about comfortable outdoor living – and we think you'll be amazed and just how much time you can spend outside when you have all the facilities you could need (not to mention that glorious Portuguese sun blazing triumphantly overhead). 

One of the best bits of this home has got to be that swimming pool. Tiled in a myriad of tiny mosaic tiles, the shades of which span from light turquoise to deep teal and so emulate the colours of the glistening Meditteranean Sea, and offering steps down into its refreshing waters, we think the prospect of a dip is simply too good to resist. Slide into the pool for the perfect morning wake-up call, before drying off in the sun and rejoining everyone else for breakfast to start the day off the right way. 

Does today feel like a beach day? Or perhaps you'd rather amble into Quarteira or the other small towns that dot the hills here to check out some of the cafés, restaurants, and shops. Golfers, rejoice! The fabulous clubs of Val de Lobo, Vilamoura, and Quinto do Lago are just around 5 kilometres away, so you can look forward to teeing off on some of the finest courses the Algarve has to offer. Those with a hankering for unspoilt nature are in luck too, as the Parque Natura da Ria Formosa Nature Reserve is closeby and just waiting to be explored. 

A Million Mosaics

Based in the picturesque town of Almancil on the sunny Algarve, this luxurious villa provides a peaceful backdrop to set the scene for many happy holiday memories. It sits just a short walk from Vale do Lobo beach, where you'll find golden sands where you can recline in the sunshine and crystal-clear waters for swimming and paddling. You're also close to an amazing golf course, as well as many friendly restaurants where you can sample the local cuisine.

The outdoor areas of this home are something special – we love the gorgeous private pool with its stylish Roman steps, where you can float all afternoon with a cocktail in hand – plus the balcony where you can gaze out at the views of the lush and leafy trees around you. Inside, you'll find modern interiors with an elegant touch, with a stunning fireplace that you can gather around on chilly evenings, plus a grand dining set where you can tuck into tasty Portuguese fish stews for supper.

It's Idyllic

Situated in the pretty town of Tavria, this boho-chic apartment is a place to bliss out after long days spent exploring the Algarve. The combination of natural textures and neutral tones makes you feel at ease as soon as you step foot into the home. Find the comfiest spot on the sofa with an espresso or take advantage of the warm sunshine and take a seat on the balcony. When hunger strikes, try your hand at recreating Portuguese classics in the well-appointed kitchen. 

Spend afternoons dipping in and out of the communal pool before catching the ferry to Ilha de Tavira for endless golden sands and the turquoise Atlantic Ocean. In the early evening, slowly make your way back into town – stop for a seafood stew in a traditional restaurant then end the day with a nightcap in a laid-back bar. 

 Uma Casa Portuguesa

Perched on the glistening Algarve, this family-size villa is the perfect setting for a relaxing coastal retreat. Inside, beige tones and traditional tiled floors give the home a rustic warmth, while the gorgeous roof terrace offers a lovely space to soak up the sunshine and take in your surroundings. 

Stepping outside, you’ll find plenty of other areas to unwind, from the outdoor dining space to the poolside sun loungers. Cool off with a quick dip in your private swimming pool, before drying off for lunch. The kitchen is fully equipped for rustling up a summer salad to go with a barbecue or a couple of snacks to accompany evening sundowners. All three bedrooms are bright and colourful, so whatever’s on your agenda, this place feels welcoming.

If you feel like a change of scenery, pack up your seaside essentials and take the ten-minute stroll down to the golden sands and turquoise waters of Alagoa beach. When dinnertime arrives, you'll find a sprinkling of beachfront tavernas and bars, just a short walk from your door. 

Poolside Reverie

We absolutely love the feel of this house. Combining authentic Portuguese charm with quirky touches such as the mosaic detailing in the living/dining and the carefully curated collection of colourful art, as soon as you enter you get a real sense of the home's unique identity and can tell how much love and care has been put into the finishing and maintaining of it. 

With three twin bedrooms, one double, and two extra sleeping places in the communal areas of the home, we think it would be ideal for extended family groups or a friends' getaway, whilst its prime location close to the restaurants, bars, and cafés of this part of Albufeira – as well as just 500 metres from the nearest sandy beach – make it a great base for a special holiday in the Algarvian sun. 

Start your day with a dip in the inviting turquoise waters of the swimming pool as the scent of the lemon trees warming in the sun begins to hang heavier in the air, before enjoying a leisurely breakfast on one of the numerous terraces. Perhaps you'll go to the beach, or into town to check out the shops and sample some of the fresh seafood delicacies on offer. Or maybe you'll finally make a dent in that book. No matter how your day pans out, come together in the evening by the traditional wood-fired barbecue to enjoy a homecooked feast of delectable local produce picked up from a local supermarket. 

One of our favourites has got to be the flavourful chicken piri-piri from this region. So why not try to replicate those spicy, savoury flavours before grilling it to perfection –yourself? Though you could always just head down towards the strip and get a taste of the real thing if you've hung up your chef's hat for the week...

The Coastal Kaleidoscope

Located just five minutes on foot from the beach and only three minutes from the historical town centre of Albufeira with its vast array of bars, restaurants and shopping opportunities – you'll have the best of the Algarve in the palm of your hand here. Overlooking the Old Town's rooftops, the home's best asset undoubtedly rests outside on the balcony terrace. With an alfresco dining area and seating, it's a great spot for soaking up the Portuguese sunshine when you're not on the beach. Inside, contemporary designs create a cool place to relax in comfort and retreat from the sun.
