Nestled in a little town called Amorosa, this sage green villa is decorated in modern Portuguese style and is bursting with charm. Wooden floors and exposed brickwork characterise the open living space, and the chic sitting room flows through into the modern kitchen. Vast windows and sliding glass doors bathe the rooms in natural light. Start the day with a refreshing dip in the salt-water pool before enjoying breakfast together. The bedrooms are elegant and comfortable, and all of them are on the ground floor with en-suites.  

The villa is across the road from a small supermarket, making it easy to go on food and drink runs. At lunch, make use of the outdoor barbecue and dine alfresco at the sun-dappled table. For a day by the sea, drive twenty-five-minutes to the Algarve Coast, where you can relax on beautiful sandy beaches or practice a variety of watersports. Come evening, head to one of the little bars in Amorosa to drink beer with the locals before coming home for dinner.

In the quaint village of Amorosa, this home offers an authentic Portuguese experience from the moment you arrive at the front door. 

Showcasing signature Mediterranean style, this luxurious villa is a treasure trove of original features, from antique floor tiles to the signature Calcada paving stones outside. 

There’s plenty of room for the whole family here, thanks to converted barns which house four of the villa’s six bedrooms. The heart of the home, however, has to be the courtyard. Try your hand at cooking some local dishes in the contemporary outdoor kitchen, which boasts a barbecue grill, sink, fridge and dishwasher, plus bar seating perfect for preparing meals together. 

Of course, you’ll want to enjoy your food alfresco - take a seat under the pergola and pour a glass of wine before you dig in to get the full dining experience. After dinner, why not head to the ping pong table or dartboard to round off the night?

Whilst this home has everything you need to relax and unwind the Portuguese way, it’s certainly worth venturing into Faro for the day to wander among the historic sights and landmarks. The outdoor swimming pool awaits when you return - the perfect way to cool off after a day of exploring.

Self Check-in / Check-out

You may think you know Algarve, but not like this. Found in the countryside, surrounded by fig and carob trees, this beautiful home overlooks the Barragem do Funcho and the river. Follow the trail down to the water’s edge and sit down with a book, basking in the tranquillity on offer here. 

Start your days with a yoga session on the desk, the wind rustling the leaves of the nearby trees as you transition into downward dog before refuelling your body with an alfresco breakfast. With most of the outdoor seating facing the water, you can continuously unwind as your socialising with nibbles and a glass of wine. 

Albufeira Beach isn’t far away, and neither is Silves Golf Course, where you can practice your handicap whilst the rest of the family takes the elevator down through the cliff and onto Praia do Peneco.

Experiment with fresh produce and seafood recipes in the generous kitchen, where the vaulted ceilings lend roominess to the kitchen and the rest of the home. Curl up under the exposed beams of the living room before a sundown swim in the infinity pool.

When it comes to rest and relaxation, it doesn’t get much better than a peaceful getaway to this picturesque farmhouse in the Portuguese countryside. Based just a short drive away from the coast of the Algarve, you’ll be well placed to explore all the beaches and quaint coastal towns that make this destination so popular.

This stunning home provides you with all the rustic charm and character you’d expect from a historical home, with all the mod cons and renovations to make your stay a comfortable one, such as en-suites and ceiling fans for each bedroom. This home is designed to seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living, with a shaded terrace where you can sit back and enjoy the views, plus a barbecue setup with mini-fridge and sink, to make cooking outside an absolute pleasure.

We recommend you start each morning by having a swim or a splash in the pool while watching the sunrise, and then get stuck into a good book on one of the poolside loungers and work on your tan. Cook up some Peri Peri chicken on your barbecue and dine at your outdoor dining table. Or, take a cocktail up to the roof terrace to recline and unwind with a stunning view over the Portuguese landscape.

This spectacular Portuguese countryside casa has it all – a private pool, barbecue and alfresco dining area, lush garden and self-contained annexe. The ultimate in heavenly holiday homes, the main house features a large, open plan kitchen cum dining cum living area complete with wood burning stove and sliding glass doors out onto the terrace. Cool tiled floors, whitewashed walls, wooden beamed ceilings, stylish lighting and colourful soft furnishings characterise this home’s artful interiors. You’ll love flinging open the doors of the master bedroom and wandering about the garden in the morning sunshine and lazing on loungers by the pool before taking the plunge. Barbecue a feast of fresh fish and seafood to be scoffed alfresco on the terrace and you’ll be rewarded with awesome views of the Algarve. Whether you prefer aperitifs or digestifs, be sure to sure watch the sun set from the privacy of your poolside deck or dining terrace. You won’t regret it. 

Your very own slice of Portuguese paradise, this veritable ode to a villa is located in the village of Monte Boi, minutes from the market town of Messines while the historic cobbled streets of Silves can be reached by car in fifteen minutes. Here you’ll find one of this southernmost region’s best-preserved castles as well as restaurants, bars and live music. Alternatively, make for the Algarvian coast and its renowned, golden sandy beaches – the nearest, Armacao de Pera is only a twenty-minute drive away.

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.

Perched on a hill with far-reaching Algarve and Atlantic views, this spectacular six-bedroom villa is perfectly set up for your next unforgettable getaway with family and friends.

Ten acres of sprawling grounds invite your party to make the most of southern Portugal's stunning climate, with a gorgeous pool, immaculately manicured lawns and a play area for the kids, not to mention plenty of covered seating on the terrace by the house. The icing on the cake is the outdoor kitchen, which encourages you to indulge in alfresco feasts at every available opportunity.

The home's interior combines traditional Portuguese villa vibes with contemporary style. Think polished concrete worktops, sculptural pendant lights and stylish seating, all sandwiched between terracotta tiled floors and soaring vaulted ceilings. Five individually decorated bedrooms are found within the villa itself, while a couple seeking a little more privacy might like to be based in the separate upscale container, which is furnished to the same exacting standards as the villa.

Nearby, the Monchique mountains offer outstanding views over the whole of the western Algarve. Alternatively, descend towards the coast and you'll encounter historic cobbled streets and the ornate Moorish architecture of Silves, which are well worth a morning's exploration, followed by lunch in one of several mouthwatering restaurants on the banks of the Arade River. After eating your fill, why not take your pick of any of the picturesque beaches nearby? Perfect for an afternoon of sun, sea and sesta.


Villa Monchique

Surrounded by orange and almond trees and with a commanding position atop a hill, this home in the Algarve provides an escape high on tranquillity. You can enjoy flexible sleeping arrangements here thanks to the outbuilding – great if you're travelling with staff or teenagers – while the home has plenty of space to relax indoors and out. There are enough sunbeds for everyone, and the kids will love the mini football pitch and basketball court. The popular beach resort of Albufeira is just a short drive away, while history buffs will want to visit the red brick castle at Silves.

A Portuguese Tale

This charming farmhouse, nestled in the Portuguese countryside, promises a peaceful base for making memories with your loved ones. Beautifully restored, it has just the right mix of old and new – retaining its character, but with all the modern conveniences you’d want in a home-away-from-home. Wander inside, and the home is light and bright, with comfortable furnishings and rich brown beams stretching overhead. In summer, it provides the perfect respite from the heat of the sun, while in winter, your feet will stay nice and toasty with the welcome underfloor heating.

Our favourite spot has to be the outdoor space. It’s easy to imagine days spent here, enjoying the cool water of your sparkling pool as the sun warms your skin. Perhaps you’d prefer to stretch out on a sun lounger, armed with a cocktail and a good book, as you listen to the delighted chatter of your children playing on the swing nearby. If an afternoon siesta is calling your name, climb onto your hammock for a little doze as the breeze drifts gently by. 

If you can tear yourself away from the relaxing vibe of this home, there’s so much to enjoy in the local area. Head north, and you’ll find the historic town of Silves. If the beach is what you seek, drive south and you can enjoy the white, sandy beaches of Armaçao de Pera. Just the spot to prop up one of the beach bars or enjoy a spot of lunch. 

Charm & Soul

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.

Modern and bright, this home in Algarve sure knows how to make an impression. Inside, you’ll find big statement pieces like the UFO fireplace and the crackled black wall alongside marble and leather furnishings that add a sophisticated touch to beach living. Though the inside is beautiful and spacious enough to give everyone the room they need to unwind, the outdoors is where the true magic happens.

Find yourself outside early morning so you can claim the sunbed and spend the day reading your favourite holiday romance novel. When temperatures soar, the private swimming pool welcomes you in with a refreshing embrace, giving you the necessary reprieve to go back to sunbathing in one of the sun loungers right after. Dine alfresco out front and socialise on the covered terrace mere steps away from the pool. Get cosy in the egg chairs when you’re not defending your title on table football, and stay outside long after sunset to enjoy balmy evenings with a touch of stargazing. 

The beach lies a short drive away, and so does the Salgados golf course. Visit Portimão for the day and explore the marina and old quarter.

Nestled in one of the oldest towns in the Algarve, among the rooftops and winding roads, you’ll find this quirky townhouse. With 360 panoramic views over Silves and beyond, this home offers front row seats to the Mediterranean sunrise.

This home merges the old and new effortlessly, blending contemporary design with a historic backdrop for a truly unique travel experience. Step out of the patio doors and into the plunge pool for a refreshing dip before heading off for a day in the Old Town.

When you’re not out exploring the narrow streets and local landmarks, there’s plenty to see at home thanks to a roof terrace that houses an outdoor kitchen, sofa and even a shower if you’re in need of some relief from the Portuguese sun. The ideal date-night spot, have a go at cooking some local dishes together before retiring to the sun lounger to stargaze with a glass of wine.

Consider waking up to sprawling orange groves surroundings and undulating luscious landscape views, each morning from your terrace. This impressive villa, designed by the architecture practice studioarte, is located just outside of the historical centre of Silves.

Inside, a stunningly modern interior awaits – crisp whites are a reflection of the villa’s traditional whitewashed exterior whilst walls of glass invite the natural light to flood the elegant space. The minimal and luxury design aesthetic features contemporary furnishings, ambient light fixtures and a statement fireplace that punctuates the central space, allowing you to set the tone for your mood. We think you’ll love spending intimate dinners around the sleek dining table under the warm glow of your pendant lamps – these soft luminous forms mimic the oranges that surround your villa. Enjoy the breathtaking vistas of your pristine pool from every room – whether you’re waking up peacefully to the sunrise in your serene and plush bedroom or indulging in a restorative bath as the sun fades beneath the herbaceous horizon.

It’s effortless to pass time lounging out on your terrace sunbeds, turning pages of your new read or floating amongst the glistening ripples of your crystalline pool. Come sunset you’ll want to be nestled on your terrace for a Mediterranean dinner of arroz de tamboril, a Portuguese monkfish, tomato and laurel risotto dish.

If you can pull yourself away, post up on the powdery sands of Praia de Armação de Pêra for the day and spend lunch at a local taverna. The historical town of Silves is worth the short drive for perusing picturesque streets and exploring the Castelo de Silves.

Ideally located to explore a number of sandy beaches on the Portuguese coast, this beautiful home exemplifies modern beach living. Instead of a quaint space with the nautical themes you’d usually expect, this villa opts for high-spec design, carefully curated furnishings, and a beautiful colour palette of crisp white and bold pops of yellow. Relying on the many windows for a steady stream of natural light, it feels fresh and like the ideal space for the whole family to unwind together. 

Spend long afternoons outdoors where you can either find fun in the private pool, or tap into your less productive side as you lounge around with a drink and some snacks, basking happily in the sun until you feel it’s time to head into the shade. 

Fire up the barbecue at lunch so you can grill a Mediterranean feast to be enjoyed alfresco. Afterwards, find a beanbag to nap in or head out for a walk to the supermarket. There are also a number of restaurants not too far away if you’d like to experience authentic local cuisine instead, but cooking in the sleek kitchen can be a joy if you’d like to try out a new recipe. 


Custard Yellow

Located a short drive from the Algarve's southern coast, this villa doesn’t have sea views, but there’s still plenty to write home about. The pool and gardens are the main attractions here, though the villa is attractive in its own right, and has enough room for a large group. There are two twin bedrooms so it’s better suited to families rather than couples – the rural location also makes this a more family-friendly option than a bustling city.

With dreamy gardens, colourful interiors and a pretty and peaceful location on Portugal's sunny Algarve, this gorgeous holiday home will be an absolute dream to stay in from start to finish. It's based just a short drive from the beautiful beaches of Albufeira, as well as being within easy reach of some great restaurants and bars.

We fell in love with the outdoor areas the minute we saw them. The hammock makes the perfect place to get stuck into a good book, while the covered dining terrace is wonderful for sunset socialising with cocktails in hand. And that's all without mentioning that amazing outdoor private pool, where you can float on a lilo and top up your tan, or splash about to your heart's content.

Inside, the home is somehow even more striking. Colourful retro interiors give the home a wonderfully charming feel – the dining area looks like something from an Alice in Wonderland book, and is ideal for feasting on Piri-Piri chicken – and the vibrant lounge is fantastic for late-night drinks and party games. There's even a sauna here for when you need ultimate relaxation.

Hidden in the Albufeira city centre lies this gorgeous villa, filled with enough luxuries to make your stay a memorable one. Make a splash in the glittering waters of the private pool or lounge poolside as you work on that perfectly golden holiday tan under the sun. If you're still in business mode, get set up at the workspace downstairs for some remote work before you let loose and relax out on the terrace. Powered by solar panels and with a system designed to save water, this villa is as eco-conscious as it is beautiful. Settling in won't take long and you'll be dining alfresco or relaxing in the Jacuzzi jets of a hot bath in no time.

In the heart of the city, you'll have access to all the nearest attractions and necessities. Whether you're heading out to pick up some food for cooking up a family meal on the barbecue or in the fully-equipped kitchen, or you're looking to dine out by the sea or in the city surrounded by the friendly local atmosphere, you're just a walk away from a good time. Spend days on the golden sands of the Praia dos Pescadores or feel like a local as you wander in the Albufeira Old Town Square, both just a short walk from your doorstep. Whatever your desires, this home can ensure you a restful and fun-filled holiday.

This breezy flat offers a lovely base for families and friends who want to get to know Albufeira. The pool, playground and gardens here are communal, but worry not – you'll still have your own space. The spacious balcony, complete with dining furniture, barbecue, and pool views, makes this apartment a proper holiday home. Lift access means it's accessible for everyone, and the fantastic location puts you well within reach of the nearest restaurants, shops, golf course, water park and beaches.

New Town Feeling

Are you looking for an easy seaside getaway right in the thick of Albufeira's action? This smart apartment, perched just 950 metres from the beach and with the bustle of the old town close by, ticks the right boxes. Part of a holiday complex, you'll share a swimming pool and wider grounds. So if you're looking for privacy and seclusion, there might be a better place for you. But with so many amenities on foot and a private balcony for evening drinks, it's a compromise we're happy to make. 

The Albufeira Sun

Secured Parking

Located just steps away from one of Algarve’s legendary sandy beaches, this elegant and cosy apartment is an ideal base for a small family or a couple looking to leave the stresses of everyday life behind and enjoy a relaxing stay in the sun. 

Enter to be greeted by a large open-plan living room and kitchen area, with plenty of room to kick back and relax after a long beach day. We love the wooden floors, stylish light fixtures and light-filled interior, which puts you immediately in the holiday mood. You’ll be able to gaze out onto the sea from the comfort of your living room, and you can also enjoy drinks out on the balcony, with a gentle sea breeze on your face. 

The bright and well-equipped kitchen invites you to rustle up quick and delicious meals which you can share with your loved ones at the dining table with enough space for four. For a night of restful sleep head to the bedroom, with its striking green wall and nautical theme. Wake up restored and welcome the new day with a cup of freshly brewed coffee out on the balcony. 

Outside your modern residence, you’ll be in close proximity to many cafes and restaurants, and you can also drive to an array of exciting activities, including a surf school, a golf course and riding stables, all located within a fifteen-minute drive from your home.

There’s a private terrace for evening drinks and all the essentials you could need to settle in and make it your own. Your host is on hand to help organise airport transfers and there is free parking available just a short walk from the house. Outside, you’ll be perfectly placed for coastal adventures. There’s also plenty of choice when it comes to local restaurants and cafes. 


The Sunset Townhouse

Alarm System

Situated on the coast of Algarve, this modern home’s crowning jewel might be the lush green garden, outdoor seating, and the crystal-clear swimming pool, but indoors you’ll find plenty of diamonds, too. The vaulted ceilings of the living room, for one, is a feature that not only makes it feel more spacious, but, along with the natural light, it goes a long way in creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Take advantage of that by getting into your favourite position and passing the time with a good book and an aromatic tea. 

Also wedged between terracotta tiles and exposed rafters, you’ll find a generous bedroom that’s practically designed for afternoon naps. That’s the general feeling this home instils – to forget about time and simply do what moves you in the moment. If that happens to be a casual afternoon swim in the pool, then so be it. Otherwise, spend time lounging poolside with an ice cold drink in hand, admiring the porcelain work of the plate-decorated walls right where you can dine alfresco, or simply staring at the view.

With the beach right on your doorstep, you’ll likely spend a lot of your time in the surf. Wake up before dawn at least one, and take a walk down to watch the day break on the horizon as you plant yourself in the damp sand.
 
Tee off at Amendoeira Golf Resort, spend the day at Aqualand Algarve or go see marine life at Zoomarine Algarve. 

Beam & Bliss

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

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

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

Wine Cooler

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.

The Mediterranean Townhouse

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. 




Tide Down 

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.

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.
