Algarve Villas

The Algarve in Portugal remains a favourite destination for holiday-makers each season, with a stay in one of the many villas that dot the coast and countryside offering an ideal base. The region, with its famous shoreline stretching along the Atlantic, dotted with limestone cliffs and picture-postcard beaches, boasts world-class tourist facilities, with a villa in the Algarve offering the ultimate in relaxation for all types of visitor. 

 

There's a huge range of villas available throughout the Algarve, which, thanks to its Mediterranean climate, stunning beaches and family-friendly coastal resorts, offers a fantastic base for a holiday, with plenty to keep guests busy. As well as the usual hotels and apartments, villas in Portugal range from tiny cottages nestled in the hillsides, to sprawling coastal properties able to accommodate groups of large parties. Prices do vary tremendously for villas in the Algarve, with the most desirable properties tending to get booked up very early. Peak season weeks such as the school summer holidays see high demand and prices to match. Those able to travel during the quieter low-season weeks can often usually see the best prices, and flexible customers open to all resorts and departure dates can often snag one of the late availability villas on offer. Resorts to consider for a villa holiday in the Algarve are the busy commercial region of Albufeira, with endless entertainment and non-stop nightlife, or the first-class beaches of Praia da Oura and Praia de Falesia. Quiet towns of Fonta Santa and inland villages such as Estoi and Tavira are also an option. There are luxury villas in resorts such as Vilamoura for that truly memorable getaway, as well as more cost-effective budget villas and last minute villas to suit those looking for real value-for-money, in larger resorts such as Praia de Rocha.

 

Exclusive villas are available in prestigious areas such as Almancil, with a host of luxury villas in Portugal located in upmarket regions such as Val de Lobo and Quinta do Lago, famous for their sporting facilities. The Algarve is known as a true haven for golfers, with the numerous championship courses in the area and the wonderful climate attracting many visitors each season, and the area home to many golf villas well-suited to avid enthusiasts.
