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.

Local guide
About Loulé
Algarve's largest municipality, Loulé, is a tale of two halves. Along the coast, you'll find Portugal's foremost holiday resorts – buzzy Albufeira and the more laidback Quarteira – loved for their sweeping shores hugged by dramatic red sandstone sea cliffs and endless sunshine. If you're after somewhere a little more exclusive, the seafront resorts of Quinta do Lago, Vilamoura, and Vale do Lobo – famed for their world-class golf courses...
