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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Close proximity to restaurants, bars, shops, and the beach makes it an ideal choice for a vacation getaway.

Princess Paradise

Safe

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

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. 

The New Olive Mill

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

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

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.

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.

With a wonderful location near the Vila Real de Santo António waterfront, this stylish one-bedroom apartment offers a sleek base from which to discover the Algarve coast. The minimal living space is defined by a statement waved wall – making this pad feel vibrant in the best way. And with a comfortable interior, a rooftop terrace and a shared pool, we think this pad would be ideal for a solo traveller or a couple. With the marina’s restaurants and promenade a short walk away and the Marshland Nature Reserve of Castro Marim a short drive, it’s effortless to make the most of your location.

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.

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.

Design lovers will appreciate the natural harmony of this home.

The Sunset Muse

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.

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.

The Delightful

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 

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

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. 

Let's Build Sandcastles 

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 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.

In sunny Quinta do Lago, this villa offers a relaxing stay just a short drive from the beach. When you're not exploring the Algarve, the swimming pool is the perfect spot to while away the afternoon. Stretch out on a lounge chair for a quick siesta, or retreat to the different balconies for a tipple in the sun. Kids will enjoy the games room while the group's barbecue master rustles up dinner in the outdoor kitchen. There's also plenty of space indoors to unwind. Quarteira, Faro, and Albufeira are within driving distance – all great options for day trips.

Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this chic home promises a privileged position on the Algarve. Only a 350-metre amble from your front door, why not sunbathe on the cliff-hugged Praia da Marinha – widely considered one of Europe's best beaches for scenic beauty? Alternatively, we think a trip to Carvoeiro is worth the 9 kilometre drive for its watersports and nightlife. Further inland, birdwatchers flock to the Arrozal Nossa Senhora do Rosário.

With its cosy fireplace and cooling marble floors, this beautiful villa serves as a great home base during any time of year. If you don't fancy dining under the domed ceiling, simply serve your meals alfresco, instead. Just imagine unwinding beneath blue skies and treating everyone to poolside cocktails. Once you grow peckish after a coastal adventure, how about firing up the barbecue and trying Portuguese piri-piri chicken? Later on, sneak away from your loved ones and savour a peaceful moment, admiring the elevated sea views from the sun-soaked terrace.

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.

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.
