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.
