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.

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.

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.

Nice to haves

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. 

Rich Pickings

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.

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.

Single-Level Home

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. 

With a Dash of Lime

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.

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.

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

Nestled in a dreamy resort on the outskirts of Tavira, this Portuguese townhouse has everything you need for a relaxing summer getaway with friends or family. Start your day on the roof terrace where you’ll be greeted by gorgeous views of the communal pool, then head downstairs for a day of swimming and sunbathing in the resort’s private gardens. 

Whether you’re here on a long weekend or planning a more extended stay, there’s plenty to keep you occupied nearby, from the labyrinthine streets of the town centre to the soft sands of Tavira Beach Island, a short ferry ride from home. Stretch your legs with a relaxing stroll along the Gilão River or stay put and beat the heat with a midday snooze in your air-conditioned sleeping quarters. 

The décor here might not be anything to write home about but what this place lacks in showstopping design features, it more than makes up for in home comforts. Rustle up a hearty meal in the fully equipped kitchen, kick back and relax on the poolside patio, or snuggle up on the sofa and lose yourself in a good book. What's not to love?

Carob Tree Bridge

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.

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

Rain Shower

Hot Tub

Located on the ever-popular Algarve coast, this apartment has all the charms of Tavira's historic city on its doorstep. Surrounding the Gilão River, you'll find gorgeous architecture housing delicious restaurants and artisan shops. For a taste of culture, history lovers will want to take a tour of the 11th-century castle before stopping by the Santa María do Castelo Church. Alternatively, the golden sands of Praia da Ilha de Tavira await only a short ferry ride away.

With special views overlooking the sun-soaked horizon, this is a home where you'll spend your downtime sipping wine with your loved ones and soaking in the hot tub. We especially love the outdoor kitchen here – what could be more perfect than dining alfresco after making memories to last a lifetime? Inside, the contemporary design will put you at ease while discussing your daily plans at the breakfast bar – just remember to sip meia-de-leite if you wish to start each morning like a local.

An Infinite Horizon

If you’re looking for a modern home that’s designed for a small group of friends or family, without missing out on all the luxuries you’d expect from a huge villa, then this beachfront apartment is perfectly suited. Set in the quiet fishing village of Santa Luzia, you're a short walk from the golden sands and turquoise water of the Atlantic Ocean. From the balconies, you'll have views of the Ria Formosa lagoon and the sea, while the home is still private and peaceful. 

Wake up to sunny mornings and head straight down to the decked terrace to sip your coffee on a day bed. The villa encourages indoor-outdoor living, with a large outdoor terrace, complete with a barbecue, dining area and of course, your own swimming pool. When the heat rises, dive into your pool to cool off, before drying off while getting lost in a good book. 

Come inside to escape the midday heat and find a comfortable living room with modern furnishings. Gather together at the dining table for lunch or mosey down to town for a bite to eat at one of the seafood restaurants and friendly cafes. As the evening sets in, pop open a bottle of bubbly and say cheers to the laidback coastal lifestyle. 

Poolside Tranquility

Nestled in the historical heart of Tavira, this white-washed home is perfectly placed in the city – only a short stroll away from artisan shops and restaurants. If you fancy sunbathing atop golden sands, why not hop on a ferry boat and sail down the Gilão River to the Praia da Ilha de Tavira? Alternatively, history lovers may wish to tour the Santa María do Castelo Church, which houses the tombs of seven slain knights.

Centring around its outside space, this homely townhouse invites you to rustle up barbecue lunches on the patio. Carry your cup of meia-de-leite out to the sun loungers and make plans beneath blue skies. We think dipping your toes in this hot tub is ideal at any hour of the day, but maybe the reward will be sweeter after working hard at the lamplit desk. Under the pergola, gather your family at the coffee table while you all raise your glasses to a happy holiday.

From here, take an atmospheric boat ride to the nearest beach, explore the Ria Formosa Natural Park or simply spend your days drifting between a sun lounger and the shady terrace. 

By sunset, the serene garden transforms into the perfect setting for golden hour drinks and candlelit meals. Immersed in the carefree spirit of coastal living, these are the nights you’ll remember long after you return home.

See the Algarve in a more natural light as you explore the labyrinth of canals, marshlands and beaches of the UNESCO-protected Ria Formosa from the doorstep of this home. 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

Desk

Outdoor Shower

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

Pets Allowed

Pets

Surrounded by undulating hills covered in olive trees and sweet-scented pines, this villa offers a scenic Algarve getaway. One of six villas in the valley, you’ll find a private pool and a shaded dining area, perfect for alfresco barbecues. The ground floor twin room offers direct access to the patio area, while the main bedroom on the upper floor has a picturesque balcony with views over the hills. The decor is rustic with beamed ceilings and natural materials, providing a traditional setting if not the most luxurious – however, the rural vistas more than make up for any missing bells and whistles. When you need to stock up on supplies, the village of Picota is 5 kilometres away, while Tavira – with its shops, restaurants and beach – is 11 kilometres from your door. 


Casa Vida

Perched on the glistening Algarve, this family-size villa is the perfect setting for a relaxing coastal retreat. Inside, beige tones and traditional tiled floors give the home a rustic warmth, while the gorgeous roof terrace offers a lovely space to soak up the sunshine and take in your surroundings. 

Stepping outside, you’ll find plenty of other areas to unwind, from the outdoor dining space to the poolside sun loungers. Cool off with a quick dip in your private swimming pool, before drying off for lunch. The kitchen is fully equipped for rustling up a summer salad to go with a barbecue or a couple of snacks to accompany evening sundowners. All three bedrooms are bright and colourful, so whatever’s on your agenda, this place feels welcoming.

If you feel like a change of scenery, pack up your seaside essentials and take the ten-minute stroll down to the golden sands and turquoise waters of Alagoa beach. When dinnertime arrives, you'll find a sprinkling of beachfront tavernas and bars, just a short walk from your door. 

Poolside Reverie

Paid Parking On Street

You’ll find this eighteenth-century Pombaline residence standing proud along the water’s edge of the charming fishing town of Vila Real de Santo António in the Algarve.

With its impossible-to-miss red façade, lofty frescoed ceilings, and mosaic-tiled floors, this is the Portuguese retreat you have dreamed about. But we doubt you’d imagined an achingly cool shared swimming pool high on the rooftop with breathtaking views of the mighty Guadiana River. Neither did we.

Back downstairs in the apartment, while the historic splendour remains, mid-century-inspired wooden furniture dials down the ornate features beautifully –⁠ and a luxurious bathroom and smart kitchen bring everything firmly into the twenty-first century. 

Sunny days call for coffees and breakfast on the shady outdoor terrace before an early morning dip in the pool to awaken the senses. 

Should you ever be tempted to stray from the suntrap roof terrace, the vast sands of Praia de Santo António are just an eleven-minute drive away. And when thoughts turn to food, you’ll find plenty of restaurants and bars serving up tasty seafood plates and a glass of something chilled just steps away along the harbourfront. 

Pombaline Red

Design lovers will appreciate the natural harmony of this home. From the locally sourced furnishings to the eco-friendly features and calm aesthetic, every detail has been considered to inspire optimum relaxation. Outside, you can enjoy beautiful views while lounging on the roof terrace. There is also a swimming pool and the outdoor courtyard lends itself perfectly to alfresco dining. You might find it hard to leave this private sanctuary, but it’s just a short drive to Santa Bárbara de Nexe, while Faro is just twenty minutes away. 

The Sunset Muse

Paid Parking

Perfect for a family getaway by the coast, this bright and breezy villa in Albufeira boasts sparkling sea views – best enjoyed from the private balcony over a bottle of wine, although the vistas are visible from many rooms inside, too. Some of the bedrooms are a bit of a squeeze, and the balcony is the only outdoor space, but with Túnel beach just fifty metres away and a great selection of beachfront eateries to enjoy, you’re likely to spend most of your time lapping up the Portuguese sun away from home. 

Sea Spritz

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

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

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.

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.

Angles of Albufeira

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 

Just a twenty-minute stroll from the nearest golden sandy beach, this Lagos apartment is the ideal setting for a refreshing coastal escape. There’s a private balcony ideal for alfresco cocktails and you can enjoy access to the communal pool. It’s also just a five-minute walk to the nearby harbour, shops and restaurants – making this a great base for those in search of a little action as well as relaxation.

Lagos Light

Parking On Street

Located in a peaceful condominium near Lagos Marina, this airy apartment has two private balconies and a cosy barbecue area for grilling up a storm. Kids will love the communal pools, and the golden sandy Meia Praia is a breezy stroll or a short drive away for easy trips to the beach. Parties and excessive noise are strictly forbidden here, meaning you're guaranteed a quiet and relaxing stay. To make your trip extra special, your host can provide services like private chefs, airport transfers, and a range of food hampers.

In the Heart of Meia Praia

Parking On Premises

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. 

Pieces of Portugal

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

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

Foosball / Table Football

Nestled close to the sea, you’ll find this beautifully contemporary home on the Albufeira coastline. With a striking architectural design to the exterior, it will take your breath away before you even step inside. The outdoor space is just beautiful – picture yourself enjoying the ocean views and landscaped gardens, relaxing by your private pool with the sound of the sea in the air and a good book to discover. We think it’s a pretty perfect way to while away a few hours.

As you step inside, the natural light will follow you in and glow from the crisp white walls to the sparkling tiles, with the uplight ceiling design a stand-out, striking feature. The open-plan spaces allow for sociable settings with loved ones in a home that oozes sophistication. The stunning interiors carry through to the sleeping areas, where you’ll be met with warm comfort. Rinse the day away under your rainfall shower and climb into bed for a restful night’s sleep. 

Ideally located, you’ll have far more than just your games room to keep you occupied. Stroll to the local restaurants for a spot of lunch before relaxing the afternoon away on the warm Portuguese sand. The picturesque views will draw you in until sunset, when a charming evening over a few drinks may be next on the list. All within walking distance of your stunning villa which will quickly become your home-away-from-home.
