This beautiful villa, tucked away in the Portugeuse countryside, offers plenty of space for relaxaction but it's not so secluded that it will rob you of experiencing some of the finest beaches and sights, all just a quick drive away. 

Step inside to find bright interiors, exposed beams, and a homely atmosphere that'll make you feel at ease from the moment you arrive. Though some standout features include the vaulted ceilings in the living room, the games room, and your private cinema, the outdoor area is the true hero. Imagine relaxing under one of the daffodil-yellow patio umbrellas as you soak up every last bit of sun before cooling down in the private pool. 

The pool house offers another space in which to get comfortable with a glass of wine, but it's also where you’ll find the outdoor kitchen and pizza oven. Put your dough skills to the test, baking your creations before enjoying it alfresco with an ice-cold beer. Wander around outside to discover various seating areas, but don't miss the rooftop terrace – it's perfect for sunset drinks or nightcaps under the stars.

Wow, just wow – this awesome Algarvian home is simply the stuff dreams are made of. Promising Portuguese perfection, this captivating casa boasts mesmerising views of the surrounding landscape, a private pool, lounging, barbecuing and alfresco dining areas and an outdoor shower – and that’s all before even stepping inside. Featuring a well-equipped kitchen, a spacious living room – think cool tiled floors, whitewashed walls adorned with local artwork and a wood burning fireplace –, a separate dining room and four en-suite bedrooms, this fabulous family home really does have it all. 

You’ll love flinging the doors of the master bedroom open and watching the sun rise from the east, making your morning coffee or a glass or two of fresh orange juice made with fruit picked from the garden and lazing on sun loungers before cooling off with a refreshing dip in your private pool. Rinse off under the outdoor shower, barbecue to your heart’s content and dine alfresco on the terrace – which showcases local Santa Catarina tiles to stunning effect – before finding a rattan sofa or one of the comfortable chairs around either the pepper or the palm tree with your name on it. Watch out for sunset from the master bedroom’s west facing balcony or head to the orchard and this home’s hidden sundowner spot – perfect for a little alone time with your loved one. At chillier times of year, you’ll want to get the gang together around the granite dining table for dinner before cozying up by the fire in the living room and hosting a movie night.

As if all that wasn’t enough, this ravishing retreat is situated only minutes away from bustling market towns and the renowned sandy beaches of this unspoiled area. Your nearest town is Sao Bras with its supermarkets and Saturday market, while pretty Loule with its daily covered market is only fifteen-minutes away, as is our favourite beach at Fuseta.


Citrus, Peppers & Palms

Courtyard

Rooftop Terrace

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.

Nestled on a hilltop, this single-storey villa offers uninterrupted sea and mountain views. While the interior has a traditional style that may not suit everyone, it’s well-equipped with comfortable bedrooms offering ample wardrobe space. Outdoors, sun worshippers will adore the decked and terraced areas, while the private pool, perfect for soaking up the view, will be a hit with everyone. Close to amenities such as tennis courts and a renowned restaurant, from this home’s enviable location you can reach the airport and some beautiful beaches by car in twenty minutes.

Spread over three floors, this seamless villa lies in the Algarve, with its own private pool and views of the Atlantic ocean from the rooftop terrace. All the bedrooms enjoy their own en-suites, with one on the ground floor for easy accessibility. The location is close to several similar villas so there is the potential for some noise from neighbours, and with a noise curfew in the evening, this won't be the place for parties. You'll want a car here for visiting the beaches, or heading into central Tavira where you'll find restaurants and historical buildings.

Casa da Vida

Surrounded by almond and olive trees, this minimalist sanctuary offers peace, privacy and total relaxation. Created by a renowned interior designer, you’ll find every element has been considered to inspire effortless living. From leisurely swims in the pool to sunset drinks on the rooftop terrace, this is the perfect setting to slow down and savour quality time together. Your host can also help organise a range of sweet extras including catering and car rentals – which will come in handy when exploring further afield. From here, it’s just a short drive to Santa Bárbara de Nexe, while the nearest beaches are twenty minutes away. 

Serene Beauty

Providing a powerful juxtaposition with its lush, green surroundings, this distinct white villa combines luxury with relaxation to bring you a little slice of serenity on the Algarve.

Take a step inside and you'll find an open space, perfect for entertaining guests or spending precious time with loved ones. You’ll also want to take full advantage of the home’s lounge and dining area that unfolds onto a balcony. Sink into the rattan furniture and enjoy breakfast while taking in stunning town and sea views.

Enjoy Portugal’s lovely weather and take a dip in the large swimming pool, surrounded by pretty calçada paving stones and sunbeds, before heading upstairs to enjoy a cocktail at the bar. The poolside seating area is perfect for lounging in the sun, while the terraces and al-fresco dining tables are perfect for enjoying meals with family and friends.

For those who have an intrepid streak, the villa is just a short walk from Tavira and the boat to the beach. But with a place as comfortable as this, we wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t want to leave.

By Land or Sea

Being a former olive mill, you would be forgiven for expecting something rustic, but as you step through the front door you’ll see it’s anything but. The first thing you’ll walk through is the courtyard, its bright bougainvillea and lap pool becoming your own oasis in the heart of the city. Take a step into the building and remind yourself this was once a working building – we know you’ll be blown away by the sheer size of the building, and how this allows for ample space and light. Its charming design, equal parts quirky and stylish, is bound to bring a smile to your face.

If you can drag yourself away, you’ll find a charming city replete with cobbled streets and radiant gardens. Go out in search of the perfect pastel de nata, or find a hole in the wall for a lovely glass of port.

Welcome Hamper

Formerly an old ruin at the end of a dirt track, the owners of this building enlisted a group of award-winning architects to design a beautiful family home. The result is a minimalist sanctuary that celebrates the soft light, warmth and natural abundance of the Algarve. 

Nestled among wildflowers and hundreds of olive trees, this is the kind of space that sits in perfect harmony with its environment. From the indoor and outdoor living spaces to the local handmade furniture, mesmerising views and swimming pool, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of tranquillity. And just like a minimalist painting, it’s the simplicity of this home that makes it stand out. You’ll love watching the sunrise or set from the rooftop terrace, taking refreshing dips in the pool and gathering for drinks under the trees. 

Days can be spent on the golden sandy beaches of the coast, picking up fresh local delicacies at Loulé market and visiting the beautiful Fonte Benemola (where you’ll find waterfalls and lovely picnic spots nestled within the nature reserve). Wherever the day takes you, this home provides the perfect setting to unwind, relax and share delicious al fresco meals under the stars.

Carbon Monoxide Detector

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.

Olive Oyl

Lift Access

This former olive mill, set in the historic coastal town of Tavira, has undergone quite the transformation in recent times – and we couldn’t love it more. Expertly reimagined into a three-storey townhouse, polished marble, parquet flooring, and contemporary interiors fuse together to glorious effect. 
 
An excellent choice for friends or extended family sharing, each bedroom sits on its own floor with an en-suite bathroom for a little extra privacy. And you’re all sorted if you plan to work, with a dedicated desk tucked away in a quiet corner on the top floor. 

Downstairs, the free-flowing living space leading out onto a charming private courtyard with views of the neighbouring church is made for socialising. Get together for a sunny alfresco breakfast of expressos and Pastel de Natas on the veranda, then pad over to the shared terraces for a dip in that sparkling pool surrounded by tumbling bougainvillaea and fragrant citrus trees.

When it’s time for a dose of sea air and culture, Tavira has got it in spades. Lose yourself to its warren of cobblestone streets on either side of the Rio Gilão dotted with cafes and restaurants, and shady squares. Or hop on the ferry bound for the coast – the unspoilt, golden shores of Ilha de Tavira are everything you’ve been daydreaming of.

The Olive Trail

Set in complete seclusion and serenity, this family-size villa is ideally suited for a large group looking to bask in the beauty of the Algarve. You're just a twenty-minute walk from the charming town of Tavira, offering friendly taverns and bars. On top of that, you've got access to a private swimming pool and a large rooftop terrace, so you can soak up your stunning surroundings over an alfresco lunch in the shade. 

Adopt the pace of nature and slowly make your way down to the pool for a few morning lengths, before roaming the well-tended gardens with a fresh cup of coffee. The villa makes for seamless indoor-outdoor living, with a comfy lounge area and sleek bi-folding doors that invite the warm weather inside. Flopping down on the sofa for a bit of respite, you'll feel a calmness wash over you, as the gentle breeze continues on through. The decor is vibrant, the kitchen has everything you need to rustle up dinner, and all four bedrooms are just as colourful, making the place perfect for families. 

When it comes to seeing a little more of the area, you'll be able to catch a ferry, just twenty minutes' walk away, over to beach island where the golden sands and turquoise waters of Praia de Cabana await. Later, if you're feeling peckish, there's an array of seafood restaurants on your route home. 

In The Clearing

Pool / Snooker Table

This villa is in a semi-rural setting, offering guests a combination of privacy and stunning views. The home looks out over Faro, with vistas stretching to the coast. A vast flower-filled garden adds to the sense of seclusion, as does the 150-metre-long driveway. That said, you’re only a five-minute drive from Estoi, and you can drive to a number of beaches on the Algarve in twenty-five minutes. A great choice for families, this home comes with all the amenities you might need, so you can focus on relaxing. There’s even a pétanque court and a games room, so there’s no chance of boredom. 

Casa de Arte

Rain Shower

Espresso Machine

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

Designed by award-winning Lisbon-based architects, Pedro Domingos Arquitectos, this home had little choice but to be exceptional. The quirky layout, coupled with a crisp colour palette and bespoke home furnishings has completely reinvigorated what was once an old ruin at the end of a dirt road. Now filled with artisanal wonder, the home sits nestled among wildflowers, olive and almond trees, and over 26 000 square feet of nature reserve. To honour the beauty of the natural surroundings, the garden has been landscaped by Lisbon-based Sigmetum so the wild seeds can grow to continually mirror the untamed beauty of Algarve.

But this home isn’t just beautiful – even though it is exceptionally so – it is no more than a twenty minute drive from some of the most breathtaking beaches, and even closer to world class golf courses. Spend the day in the sea or on the green and when you need a supply run, find stores and restaurants only five minutes away in Santa Barbara de Nexe.

Back home, we suggest barefoot explorations of every room so you can feel the cool concrete under your feet as you admire the textures and shades of the space. From the dining table, as you nurse a cup of coffee, you can watch the sun filter in through the window and cast geometric shadows across the room.

When the day starts to warm, access the pool via either of the steps and enjoy the bite of cool water against hot skin. To warm back up, you can head onto the rooftop terrace to soak up the Portuguese sun with a good vintage of wine. 

Dine alfresco next to the tree, nap with the large windows thrown wide open, shower under the stars, read curled up next to the fireplace, and admire the beauty of the home and its surroundings, but most of all, let the space rejuvenate your soul as you unwind. 

Contemporary Casa

Perched on the outskirts of São Brás, this home wowed us with its dreamy outdoor spaces and stunning views of the Algarve. There are plenty of communal spots for sunbathing here – our favourite is the secret ‘sundowner’ corner in the orchard – but guests staying in the first-floor bedroom will have even more choice thanks to two adjoining terraces on both sides of the house. In terms of location, this place is slightly out of the way but you drive to the beach in just fifteen minutes so we’d call that a result.

Citrus Sundowner

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

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

Free Parking

Stripped-back and functional, this Tavria apartment provides a no-fuss stay on the eastern Algarve. After a night of blissful sleep, put together a light breakfast at the compact kitchenette then take your plates outside to the balcony and dine in the sunshine. If you’d like to take a break from the heat, make a beeline for the communal pool and cool off with a gentle swim. 

When you’re ready to explore, take the short drive into the heart of town for the medieval castle and fantastic range of restaurants, bars and cafes. Of course, no trip to Portugal's southern coast would be complete without a day spent at the beach, so grab your seaside essentials and make haste to the golden sands of Praia da Ilha de Tavira. 

A Vida Toda

Playground

Single-Level Home

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

Buzzer / Wireless Intercom

Located in the sweet unspoilt village of Cabanas de Tavira, this home is ideally placed. Contemporary in design, it’s been tastefully decorated with comfort and socialisation in mind. If you don’t feel like heading out to eat, indulge in a delicious dinner with your loved ones in the open-plan living and dining room – beautifully complemented by the sprawling balcony, you have the ideal spot for a nightcap as the sun sets. We love the vibrant colours of this apartment that make it such a happy home, and with both bedrooms boasting en-suite bathrooms, you can enjoy a bit of privacy and quiet time, too. 

There’s a lot to explore in the local area, and a short ten-minute stroll will find you at the beach. After a fun-filled day on the coast, return home for a movie night to unwind. The floor-to-ceiling windows will cast wonderful ambient lighting as the sun disappears. Brilliantly located, this home has it all – alfresco dining, comfort at its core, and a picturesque location for when you want to explore the magic that Portugal has to offer.

The architecturally designed space, overlooking a lagoon, pays homage to the beautiful surroundings with a glass facade – connecting you to the outdoors even when spending time indoors where the interior echoes the natural environment it's in. Drive to Praia Naturista after an al fresco breakfast and visit Cemitério das âncoras – truly a graveyard of anchors – before coming home for a sunset swim and drinks in the tranquillity.

The House on the Lagoon

Balcony / Patio

Tucked away on a quiet street in Albufeira’s historic Old Town, this studio apartment is the perfect base for a couple or solo traveller looking for a convenient location in the Algarve. Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and situated only a few minutes walk from dos Pescadores beach, you couldn’t be better positioned if your priority is proximity to the sand. While the apartment is small, it does have a kitchenette and an alfresco dining terrace where you can enjoy home-cooked breakfasts in the sun.

Sun & Sand

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.

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

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. If you’re planning to travel as a group of four, keep in mind two people will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.

Algarve Bubbles

Sauna

This modern apartment puts you within striking distance of several Algarve beaches, with Praia da Batata, Porto de Mós and Praia Dona Ana all within two kilometres. For those not keen on sinking their feet into the sand or splashing in the sea, there’s also a plethora of golf courses in the surrounding area and eateries within walking distance, so you’re never far from authentic Portuguese cuisine. Back home, you can enjoy on-site amenities such as a gym, sauna and communal swimming pools to keep you entertained, while the private balcony is just the spot for sundowners as the day ends. 

A Taste of the Algarve

Desk / Workplace

Gather up a small group of your favourite people and whisk them away for a sunny stay on the Algarve. This smart apartment is located in the resort town of Praia da Luz, and make the perfect place to relax between trips to the beach. 

The interior is bright and welcoming, with crisp white walls, cool tiles, and a comfy sofa. There's even a fireplace for if you're visiting during the chillier months – light it up and get cosy with a good book and a glass of port. The kitchen has everything you need to whip up some tasty dishes using fresh ingredients, and you can eat alfresco out on the balcony. With space for a dining table, sun loungers, and views of the garden below, it's the ideal spot to relax in the fresh air. 

From here, you can wander down to Praia da Luz's sandy shoreline for a day paddling in the waves and catching some rays. There is a range of beachfront bars ready to help you refuel when you get hungry, and the town also offers easy access to some great coastal walking paths. Hike along the Trilho dos Pescadores – also known as the fishermans' trail – or take it easy with a round of golf at the local course, just five minutes away by car. 

Algarve Eternity

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

Hot Tub

For a tranquil stay in Lagos, look no further than this ground-floor apartment. Porto Mós Beach is just 500m away and is easily reachable by car. There's space on the private terrace to dine alfresco, while the communal swimming pool is just steps from your doorstep. Parties and excessive noise strictly aren't permitted at this condominium, so a relaxing trip is guaranteed. For an additional fee, your host can arrange a variety of services to make your stay extra special, including local food hampers, airport transfers, and even private chefs.

By the Seaside

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. 


Rooftop Refuge

Wine Cooler

Close to the beautiful beaches of the ‘Golden Triangle’, this home offers a great location along with family-friendly rooms and a private pool. By night, the terrace lends itself perfectly to evening drinks and barbecue meals. You’ll also find one of the bedrooms is located in a separate apartment on the lower ground floor – ideal for those in search of a little extra privacy. It’s worth noting you will need a car to get around here, but it’s just 3 kilometres to Almancil, while Quinta do Lago Beach is just 7 kilometres away.
