The Algarve / Central Algarve region


The Algarve has a temperate climate almost all year round and boasts over 300 days of sunshine a year. The tourist season extends from March to October and it only really quiets down in the dead of winter. Even then, there are many days when it is warm and sunny enough to sunbathe or sit outside at the pavement cafes and enjoy the balmy weather. The golf season extends from autumn through to spring and golfers can enjoy the warm sunny conditions whilst their own courses at home are unplayable. In summer they can receive discounted green fees at many courses.
The Albufeira / Encosta da Orada area
Location
The complex is on the western side of Albufeira, close to the Dolphin Roundabout on the hill between the Albufeira Marina and the Old Town. It is an 8 – 10 minute walk to each. The nearest restaurants, bars and convenience stores are in Pateo, 3 minutes walk away. The Giro circular bus and ‘tourist train’ both pass nearby at regular intervals. The Albufeira Old Town is a vibrant hub of restaurants, bars, interesting shops, street stalls, musicians and entertainers.
Beaches
Some of the best sandy beaches in the Algarve are nearby, such as Fisherman’s Beach, Peneco, Gale, Sao Rafael, Castelo, Evaristo, Salgados and more.
Golf
The Central Algarve has some of the finest golf courses in Portugal, including Salgados golf course just a 5 minute drive away; Balaia and Pine Cliffs golf courses which are 15 minutes drive and the 6 championship golf courses of Vilamoura at 20 minutes away.

Guestbook for OR-A3B Encosta da Orada
The apartment was fantastic - very well presented with everything needed for a self-catering holiday. Very spacious with superb sea/marina views. A well maintained complex with very well kept gardens.
Suzanne & Gary, Co.Londonderry, N. Ireland, April 2011
The whole holiday, experience and property were even better than we could have dreamed of and definitely 5 Stars. Thank you to the Algarve Getaways local team for their professional and caring attention to our welfare during our stay. The professional handling of our booking made the whole process of planning and arranging our trip as worry free as it could be.
Ian & Janet, Toronto, Canada, Feb/March 2011
Stunning terrace and views. The apartment was so nice, we sunbathed each day on the balcony. You surpassed our expectations and it was far easier than booking direct with owners. Definitely use again.
Raymond & Linda, Blackpool, April 2010
It was a pleasure to book with Algarve Getaways and I would like to thank you for your professionalism. Everything was perfect our whole stay, from arrival to departure. Our transfers were hassle free and the drivers very pleasant. We had a fantastic holiday in an absolutely brilliant apartment, which I would say was the highlight of the holiday as we had everything we could possibly need.
Tracey, Sunderland, England, August 2009
The apartment was fabulous, all rooms bigger than expected and the terrace was out of this world. The standard of cleanliness was very good. The complex was superb with beautiful grounds and a wonderful pool area. No hesitation in saying that we will be back.
Catherine, Kilmarnock, Scotland, June 2009
