Enjoy a charming stay at this stylish townhouse, based on the western side of Lagoa in Portugal. This peaceful abode features serene interiors, together with gorgeous outdoor areas – along with all the mod cons necessary to make your stay convenient and comfortable. We are particularly impressed with the sunny roof terrace, complete with loungers and sun umbrellas – creating a private little paradise where you can kick back and relax.

Start each day with a delicious Portuguese breakfast of fresh breads, cheeses and meats, and tuck in at your trendy breakfast bar. Spend the afternoon sunbathing on your roof terrace with a glass of Prosecco from the wine cooler, or enjoying the shade on your hidden courtyard with a good book. As the evening rolls in, gather round your wood burner fireplace or cosy up on the sofa with a movie on the TV.

You’re perfectly located to explore Lagoa from your little townhouse, with the Lady in Red gallery being a short journey away, as well as lots of bars and restaurants right on your doorstep. Or, venture a little further out to see the Benagil caves, and take a kayaking tour around this jaw-dropping nature spot.

Nice to haves

Child Friendly

Occupying a prime position on the Algarve, this sleek and stylish one-bedroom apartment has been recently renovated by your host, transforming it into a perfect for a romantic couple's getaway, or for the solo traveller looking to experience the best of southern Portugal.

The apartment is situated within a family-friendly resort, just a short walk from the picturesque former fishing village of Carvoeiro. With its sandstone sea cliffs and horseshoe-shaped bay, it's easy to see why it's regarded as one of the Algarve's best beaches. Beyond the beach, plenty of visitors to the area make the short trip to the remarkable Benagil Cave by boat or head along the coast to take in the finest natural scenery the Algarve has to offer, hiking the clifftop Sete Vales trail.

However, if you don't feel like venturing far, extensive on-site facilities mean there's not much need to leave. With a vast outdoor pool, tennis courts, several restaurants and even a diving school, the scene is set for a restorative getaway with your significant other.

Private Pool

Whether you're enjoying breakfast on the terrace, taking an afternoon dip in the private pool or ending the evening with cocktails under the stars, this breezy villa is made for relaxing. Life is easy as can be here. One glance at the sun beaming in the clear blue skies and you'll feel your troubles melt away. 

Spend your days lolling about in the garden, dashing between the swimming pool to the lounge chairs and back again. Need a break from the rays? Stretch out on the leather sofas for a quick snooze in the living area, then wake up to the smell of piri-piri chicken sizzling on the barbecue. As the night slowly rolls in, gather the whole brood together and dine alfresco on the covered terrace, keeping the conversation (and the local wine) flowing well into the night. 

When you fancy a change of scenery, set off and explore Carvoeiro. Both the town and beach are within walking distance, so you'll be able to enjoy the variety of restaurants, cafes and scenic outlooks on foot. Also worth doing is The Seven Valleys hike – the perfect way to admire the Algarve's stunning scenery.

This two-storey villa in the Algarve offers up a stunning outdoor space that's just perfect for relaxing. Surrounded by vegetation and with an alfresco dining area, this house shines (pardon the pun) best when you're outside. And with each bedroom having French doors, you're never more than a few seconds from the sun. A car might be a good idea here, with the nearest beach two miles away – a little further afield, you'll also find the popular beachside resort of Carvoeiro. When you prefer to stay closer to home, there are plenty of eateries and shops in the local vicinity.

Just outside Carvoeiro, with its stunning coastlines and dramatic natural scenery, you’ll find this charming home-away-from-home. Away from the hustle and bustle, you have everything you need here for a peaceful retreat. 

As you walk up to this villa, you’ll be captivated by the gardens, which are clearly a labour of love. Beautiful green grass, an abundance of flowers that wrap their scent around you, and palm trees rustling gently in the breeze. Calmness will wash over you – this home is inviting you to relax. Wander through the front door, and light bounces off the white walls as it pours in through the generous windows. The living area is cosy and welcoming, just the place to snuggle down with your loved ones at the end of the day. 

Your days are meant to be spent outdoors here. Whether lounging in the Portuguese sun with a glass of wine while others enjoy the private pool, or dining alfresco, there’s so much to enjoy. The yellow sun loungers and umbrellas cast a happy vibe – it really is all sunshine and flowers here. Fire up the barbecue and as it sizzles gently in the background, listen to the backdrop of birdsong. As night falls, look up to the blanket of stars stretched out above you. It’s the perfect way to end the day. 

Sunshine Blooms

This home is perfectly positioned to explore the charming oceanside town of Carvoeiro and the broader Algarve region of sunny Portugal. With its child-friendly features, we think this is the perfect holiday home for a family or group of families, and the play area and basketball net will keep kids entertained while you enjoy the leisurely living this home offers. While the kids splash away in their very own pool, it’s easy to let your mind wander while you sip your favourite beverage poolside. 

Inside, the tiled floors speak to its Portuguese charm, and the sprawling outdoor terrace beckons you to feel the sun’s warmth on your skin. After you wake up in the comfy confines of your bed, take in the salty ocean air from the upper patio with a cold brew in hand. Adventure out to the centre of town for a glass of ginja in one of the many beachfront bars before you enjoy a sit-down meal in a local restaurant, serving up traditional delicacies.

Fenced Property

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. There are a wealth of beaches and coves in the surrounding area, starting from as close as 2 kilometres away, and a good choice of dramatically beautiful coastal walking routes on the map. The local town of Carvoeiro has you covered for bars and restaurants, too.

A Rose on the Shore

Cool and contemporary, this apartment is based just 100 metres from the beach in Praia da Rocha, and just a short drive from the heart of Portimão, making it ideal for beach lovers and city explorers alike. We love the decor of this home, with swinging chairs and a funky mural that make it feel warm and welcoming. A stay here means you'll have access to the shared outdoor pool and tennis court, ideal for spending days in the sunshine.


Sunset Terracotta

Jacuzzi

Tucked away in Silves in the Algarve region, a short drive from Marinha Beach and within walking distance of the historic castle and town centre, this apartment is a modern pad for couples or small families. You'll have private use of a jacuzzi and a terrace, complete with a barbecue, so you can enjoy alfresco meals together. While some areas of the home are a little compact, you’ll find everything you need to feel right at home.

Drop off your bags and make a beeline for your private rooftop terrace, complete with sun loungers, a dining area and stunning sea views. Mornings begin out here, clutching an iced coffee and a pastel de nata as you decide whether it's a relaxing day by the pool or a fun-filled trip to the golden sand of Praia da Rocha, just 500m away. 

The sleek sliding glass doors set up seamless indoor-outdoor living, bathing the home in natural sunlight. Stepping inside, you'll find a plush island kitchen with a sociable breakfast bar that means you can cook for your guests while chatting over a glass of wine. Traditional azulejo-tiled flooring and duck egg blue walls create a soothing space to relax, while the bedrooms are just as modern and peaceful – there's even a dedicated desk area for those working from home. 

When you're not working or simply basking in the blissful atmosphere of your sun-soaked terrace, head downstairs for a refreshing dip in the communal pool. Alternatively, keep up your weekly fitness routine with a swim in the resort's indoor pool or a workout in the well-equipped gym. Later, don your finest tennis whites on the shared courts as the sun goes down, before rustling up a grilled supper on the barbecue patio.

If you can peel yourself away from this light-filled apartment and the resort's fabulous amenities, take some time to discover the old port city of Portimão just a short drive away. As evening draws in, we recommend a trip to the old marina for dinner – you'll find a sprinkling of waterfront restaurants and cocktail bars lining the harbour. 

Portimão Promises

Mini Bar

Admire the aquamarine sea and blue hues in this amazing villa. The roof terrace is where you'll be spending most of your time, with a gas barbeque, bar, and a pool, what else could you want? Spend your evenings relaxing on the terrace, drinking wine and tucking into the traditional Portuguese cuisine.  Put your bartender hat on and practice making cocktails at the rooftop bar, and sip the night away listening to your favourite songs. 

The living room boasts a balcony that has a gorgeous view of the ocean, giving you ample opportunity to see the plethora of boats that sail past daily. You'll find two beaches nearby, so you can spend your days in the sun with the sand between your toes. There's also a variety of eateries in the area, so take your pick and dine out in style.

Aqua Reflections

This lovely townhouse is a great choice for a relaxing break in Portugal. You’ll have multiple terraces to unwind on and can enjoy ocean views. The swimming pool is shared with nearby homes, but when you want to spread out more you can stroll to Praia Grande to kick back on the beach. You’ll also be close to the attractive fishing village of Ferragudo, where you can meander along the seafront and dine alfresco. This home is a little dated in places so it won’t suit those seeking a slick, modern abode, but it’s a comfortable base, and the outside space is a real treat.

Perfectly located for a family or group of friends seeking a coastal getaway, this fuss-free apartment has all the mod-cons you could want in a home-away-from-home – although it is lacking air con, there are fans for your comfort. Sun-seekers will be delighted with not one, but three balconies from which to soak up the Portuguese rays, and there’s a shared pool to cool off in the heat of the day. With the beach in Carvoeiro nearby, you can easily get your sea fix and dine out on local cuisine, with a great array of eateries nestled next to the sandy shores. 

Glimpse of Sunshine

Tucked away in a residential part of town, this Portimão villa is perfect for a family or group of friends looking for an Algarve oasis. The outdoor areas will occupy most of your time here – pools are always welcome, the Jacuzzi is ideal for evening cocktails, and the alfresco dining area and barbecue mean you'll rarely need to venture inside. 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.

Suddenly Portimão

This small but sublime dwelling sits in a prime position overlooking the beautiful Benagil Beach on the sunny Algarve. You and three lucky loved ones can spend a blissful stay at this peaceful sanctuary – long and lovely days can be spent out on the roof terrace, sunning yourself on the loungers and gazing out at the ocean from the private pool. Of course, that's if you're not tempted down to the beach to explore its stunning sea cave, a popular location on many bucket lists.

Inside, fresh interiors invite you to sit and cool off from the Algarve sunshine, with a dreamy colour scheme that reflects the beautiful blue sea views that you can see from the lounge. There's a cosy lounge for film nights on chilly evenings, as well as a stylish dining area that's perfect for feasting on suppers of locally-caught fish.

If you're looking for some of Europe's finest beaches then this charming villa in the beautiful wine region of Caramujeira, just a short drive from Praia da Marinha and Praia de Benagil is right on the money. Inside, it's traditional and stylish. There's a considered use of homely touches, from the whicker decor and local photography to the antique urn and small stove fireplace, so you'll feel right at home from the get-go. 

Now, correct us if we're wrong, but summer in the Algarve is best spent outdoors. And, at this pretty villa, you'll have a choice of several outdoor sitting and dining areas to bask in the warm weather. While away sun-soaked afternoons in the hammock, sip poncha cocktails on the sun loungers, and fire up the barbecue in the outdoor kitchen for a lazy lunch on the shady terrace.

When it's time to head out, head to Benagil for hidden sea caves and picturesque hiking trails between the limestone cliffs, just a short drive from your doorstep. If you’d like to soak up the local history and culture, the lively village of Carvoeiro, where you'll find many feel-good eateries, boutique shops and hip bars, is just 5 kilometres away.

A Pretty Portuguese Dream

Desk / Workplace

Thanks to the unfiltered terrace views of the water, a location that’s a short distance from Ferragudo’s beaches and ultra-modern amenities, this home is comfort and holiday bliss personified. When you’re not laying in the sand at Pintadinho Beach or watching the waves lap the shore at Grande Beach, you’ll probably be outside, savouring the sunlight. 

Take a late-morning dip in the pool, rustle up a meal in the sleek kitchen and tuck into lunch on the dining bench. Your afternoons are made for sunbathing and enjoying the weather on a lounger, or if you want to escape the heat – lying up on the plush sofa where floor-to-ceiling windows still let you admire that sea view. Should you need to work remotely, there's a full home office with a monitor and printer set up in the open living area. Once the sun starts to set, head to the terrace with a glass of wine, relax and admire the scenic landscape tinged golden.

Agua Azul

Offering far-reaching sea views and situated just a short walk from the sandstone cliff-backed beach, this central Carvoeiro is superbly situated to make the most of a sun-soaked break to the breathtaking Algarve coast.

Wake up each morning to the sound of the waves lapping at the shore, as you sip a coffee on the spacious balcony out front and watch the town come to life around you. Step back through the sliding doors and you'll find a recently renovated living space and kitchen that is both casual and contemporary – the perfect match for your beachside setting. 

In the bedroom, an abundance of storage space helps maintain the relaxed minimalist style, while a vast super king-size bed guarantees a comfortable night's sleep. In addition, floor-to-ceiling sliding doors offer easy access to the balcony.

The former fishing village of Carvoeiro boasts one of the finest beaches along this picturesque stretch of the coast. However, there's more on offer than soaking up the sun on its golden sands. Those with a sense of adventure might like to embark on a boat trip to the magnificent Benagil cave. Alternatively, why not rise early and set out on the 12km out-and-back Sete Vales trail, with its spectacular clifftop coastal vistas.

La Petite Sardine

Ferragudo is dubbed the prettiest village in Portgual, and its charm is showcased beautifully with this luxury townhouse. With just as much outdoor space as indoor space, you'll be enjoying the warm Portuguese weather in no time. Go for a dip in the private plunge pool, with views of the surrounding skyline beneath gorgeous blue skies. Take advantage of the underfloor heating in the morning, and make your first coffee of the day as natural sunlight pours in through the sliding doors to greet you.

With shops, restaurants, and beautiful alleys filled with flowers that Ferragudo is known for all within walking distance, you won't need to worry about planning long drives to make the most of your stay here. And being indoors won't stop you from admiring this beautiful historic village – if watching the sunset as you dine alfresco or float in the pool with a drink isn't enough, you can always head up to the second terrace, one level higher with a plush lounge area where you can see all the way out to the horizon for that extra elevated feel.

Overlooking the white sands of highly sought after Praia Grande beach is this rustic and charming villa in a renovated former bee cottage. The villa broods harmony between raw nature, beautiful coastline, and easy living to match the charm of the Portuguese fishing village. The lush garden provides space for children to roam while the adults watch from plush sun loungers. As soon as you bore of the pool, just 600m away lies the stunning white beach. One of our favourite highlights was the private steps that led from the villa right out onto the sand, providing immediate beach access. Aside from time spent relaxing at the seaside-chic villa, the outside area of the town provides sailing boat rental, canoeing, and a bustling village square with local fare and fishermen showcasing the catch of the day. 

Honey Bees

With a generous terrace area, multiple balconies, a lush green lawn and a private pool, there are plenty of places to top up your tan here as the Portuguese sun shines down. It really is all about the outdoors for us – and with charming Carvoeiro and Praia de Carvoeiro beach just a short walk away, the location is spot on, too. If you get peckish on your sunny stroll into town, worry not, there are eateries and bars galore to provide the sustenance you need for that all-important spot of relaxing you have planned. 

Sunshine & Butterflies

This magnificent mansion is perched atop the cliff at Praia da Marinha, offering breathtaking views of the ocean and beach. You can walk to the beach straight from the garden when you fancy a dip in the sea – as a change from swimming in the private pool. The pool sits in lush gardens close to several terraces – there’s no shortage of outside space here so you won’t feel crowded even when you’re travelling with a large group. Inside, the villa is authentically Portuguese, blending vintage style with modern comfort. Everything you might need is to hand here, whether it’s a barbecue or a cosy wood-burning stove. 

Eternal Sea Views

Games Room

Foosball / Table Football

Bicycles

Nestled close to the historic town of Silves and Algarve's sandy beaches, this home captures every bit of sunshine in its expansive pool and lavish terraces. Avocado and citrus trees provide shade in the garden, for when you just need a bit of peace and quiet, but there are also plenty of activities around. Whether that’s the tennis court, table tennis and table football, or the bikes provided, you aren’t going to run short of things to keep you busy. We’d also recommend trying your hand at the barbecue – a converted bread oven – which adds to the rustic feel of the home.


Pastel De Nata

Staying in this Algarve home gives you easy access to one of the region’s most beautiful beaches (Praia dos Três Irmãos is a five-minute stroll away), along with a communal pool and neighbourhood tennis courts. There’s also a private terrace and plenty of space for relaxing inside and out. It’s worth noting that the rooms are slightly dated, but it's family-friendly and there’s an adjoining annexe with two bedrooms. From here, it’s possible to walk to the restaurants and amenities in Alvor, plus it’s also within easy reach of the nearby golf courses. 

A Hundred Ways

Playground

Record Player

Step-Free Access

Wheelchair Access

With communal gardens, two shared swimming pools – one of which is specifically for children – and a playground, this Alvor apartment is an ideal choice for families. Sure, its traditional and fuss-free style may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the outdoor space makes up for it. The private terrace is just the spot for a morning coffee, followed by a refreshing swim in the pool. Suitably rejuvenated, golfers can then take their pick of local courses, or you can plan a family day out at the beach. Being less of a tourist trap than some other Algarve hotspots, Alvor is just the ticket for a relaxing Portuguese getaway. 

Alvor Oasis

Sitting pretty close to the Algarve's celebrated coastline, this villa treats guests to a panoramic view of the region's white rooftops and the Mediterranean Sea from the terrace up on the third floor – and this isn't the only bit of outside space. Head back down to the ground level and you'll find a peaceful private garden that leads out to larger communal grounds and a shared swimming pool.

Although you'll undoubtedly be spending a vast amount of your time here outside, you'll like what you see when you eventually have to head indoors. There's a traditional edge to the design, what with the terracotta tiles underfoot and the colourful artwork hung on whitewashed walls, but other parts feel way more contemporary – the bright and airy kitchen and bathrooms, in particular. 

When you want to see a little more of the local region, the local town of Armação de Pêra can be easily reached on foot and offers a 6km-long stretch of bay, plus lots of restaurants and nightlife. Further along the coastline, the destinations of Albufera and Faro, as well as a huge number of golf courses, lie not too far away by car.
