The Algarve / Central Algarve region


The Algarve is one of the sunniest places in Europe, with over 3,000 sunshine hours per year. The summers can be hot, but there is usually a refreshing breeze by the coast. Spring and Autumn are ideal times for outdoor pursuits, such as golfing, biking, walking. The winters are mild and very often sunny, but do expect a few rainy days any time between October and March.
The Atlantic coastline offers a spectacular variation of scenery from dramatic limestone cliff formations surrounding tiny coves, to long, flat, sandy beaches ideal and safe for family holidays.
Go inland, and the mountains of Monchique provide a totally different viewpoint (and on some days a totally different climate) to the coastal areas. The terrain here makes it ideal for all types of activities, from off–road biking, hiking and quad biking to walking and simply enjoying the spectacular scenery.
The western facing side of the Algarve is certainly worth a visit. The beaches are beautiful and clean and the scenery fantastic – but be prepared for more wind and colder water! A favourite spot for windsurfers.
Go east of Faro and you will find the Ria Formosa, a protected part of the coast cut off from the sea by sand–spits, forming large areas of marshlands and lagoons teeming with wildlife.
Further east beyond Tavira the coast runs off towards Spain with mile after mile of Golden flat sand.
The Albufeira area
Albufeira itself is a bustling resort with an abundance of fantastic beaches and coves. There are two parts to the town - The "Old Town" and The "Strip". Although developed over the years the Old Town has retained its charm and character and offers something for all ages. There is a huge choice of good bars and restaurants, a variety of live music and an assortment of shops. Its beaches are long and sandy and if you show up early enough at Fisherman's beach you will be able to watch the fishermen unload their catch. The Strip and the surrounding area is relatively newly developed and is very popular with the young with many bars, restaurants and clubs which line the street. There are some lovely beaches down this end of town including Praia da Oura and Santa Eulalia.
The marina is within walking distance, where there are some bars and restaurants, entertainment in the summer months and a variety of boat/fishing trips on offer.
Go east or west of Albufeira and you will come across mile upon mile of beautiful beaches.
A wide range of activities are available within the area. Golfing, tennis and horse riding are all within a 10 minute drive. Other organised activities such as fishing trips, scuba diving, sailing, safari trips can all be organised from Albufeira. For the children Zoomarine, Krazyworld and other Water Parks are within an easy drive or transport is provided by the parks if booked in advance. There are a variety of watersports on offer at the local beaches.

Guestbook for Cosy Studio Apartment
"The balcony with its cool breeze, shade and spectacular view has been our favourite spot in Albufeira"
"Lovely location and lovely views of the town and bay made for a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday."
"We´ve had a fantastic stay here and will be sad to leave this lovely apartment. The views were particularly wonderful!"
"Thank you so much for our stay at the Apartment. We were made to feel so welcome with kind gestures such as the welcome pack and your lovely, informative greeting. The apartment is lovely, with everything we needed and the views were just stunning. It is in a prime location, high enough to be peaceful and have wonderful scenery, but very close to the enchanting old town and the beaches. The town (old and new) is lovely - we spent most of our time in the Old Town, particularly at night when it becomes quite a lively, bustling environment with some really nice bars and lovely side street restaurants. We had such a fantastic, relaxing romantic holiday and we will definitely return/recommend to friends. Thanks for everything."
