About the home

The property is situated on southwest, which is the great for light orientation, has parking places in front of the house, and is located in the beach. Is facing the sand & the ocean, and has a fantastic location to spend beach holidays. A fantastic beach, restaurants, delightful esplanades by the sea, all inside a natural park in a protected region with plenty nature to see. All the beaches of the region are amazing & just 60 minutes away you have the capital of Algarve, Faro. Lagos and its golf courses + marina, within 35 minutes.

The Western Atlantic area of the Algarve is still relatively untouched by tourism and many of the beaches are just that...beaches! No resort! This is what makes the region so special and enjoyed by those lucky enough to visit. For instance, Monte Clérigo (just west of Aljezur) is, at the moment, a small residential area on the hill above the beach...delightful, quiet and, possibly, wanting to stay that way! The Western Atlantic coast boasts beautiful beaches, unspoilt countryside and spectacular views of the coastline!

Nestling among the rolling hills of northwestern Algarve, Aljezur represents the untouched Algarve, an area of beautiful natural landscapes where donkeys work the land, cowbells tinkle on the plains and some of the best beaches in Portugal await you.

Situated in the Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina, the large natural park that extends along the western coast of the Algarve, Aljezur is a small agricultural town lying on the fertile plains that border the Aljezur river. The hilltop ruins of a 10th Century Moorish castle dominate the historic town centre and afford beautiful panoramic views of cork oak and pine woods, fields sprinkled with wild flowers and the sea in the distance. The old town that spreads down the hillside is a charming mix of cobbled streets and whitewashed houses with the characteristic colourful trimming around the windows. The newer part of town was established in the 18th Century to relocate the population after the destruction caused by the 1755 earthquake and lies at a short distance from the hill on the other side of the river.

Outside the town, it’s hard to decide what is more appealing: countryside or coastline. Nature treks, mountain biking tours and donkey or horse rides around the hills offer the opportunity to admire wild boar, foxes and badgers in their natural habitat while Aljezur’s 40 km (25 mile)-long coast is a treasure trove of rich marine life, numerous species of local and migrating birds and a beautiful mix of virgin beaches and peaceful river valleys.

The Costa Vicentina, as this south-western coastal strip is referred to, contains some of the most beautiful unspoilt beaches in Portugal, many of which feature broad expanses of sand dunes flanked by towering cliffs and with hardly a building in sight. The swell size at beaches such as Arrifana and Praia do Amado attracts surfers and bodyboarders while Odeceixe, Bordeira and Amoreira are situated at the mouth of rivers, making them especially popular with families and offering a choice of river or sea to swim in. Attractive, natural lagoons also form in these beaches, making them a favourite with children. In Odeceixe, canoes can be rented for scenic trips upriver while, at Amoreira, the change from dunes into estuary marshland opens up a whole new natural world inhabited by kingfishers, otters and grey herons. The cove of Praia das Adregas, just south of Odeceixe, is an official naturist beach.

In an area so equally dependent on land and sea, it is no surprise that the fruits of both form the basis of its mouth-watering cuisine. Aljezur is the largest producer of sweet potatoes in Portugal so these are present in its soups, stews, pastries and during the Sweet Potato Festival, held in October. The sea produces another of the regional delicacies; the gooseneck barnacles that thrive on the surf-pounded rocks and that are bravely harvested by the intrepid local fishermen. Grilled fresh fish and a hearty selection of shellfish, including mussels, sea urchins and crab go into the tasty shellfish stews. Aljezur is also just a 10 minute drive to some of the best surfing beaches in the Algarve, being on the more exposed Atlantic coast!

About the Algarve: Is a famous holiday destination popular with those seeking bucket loads of sunshine and award winning golden sandy beaches, families, sports enthusiasts, nature lovers, even celebrities! If you have already been to the Algarve, then you know how much this small southern region of Portugal has to offer, but for those of you who haven't enjoyed an Algarve holiday yet, this is the Algarve..Uncovered!

The Algarve / West Algarve region

About the Algarve: Is a famous holiday destination popular with those seeking bucket loads of sunshine and award winning golden sandy beaches, families, sports enthusiasts, nature lovers, even celebrities! If you have already been to the Algarve, then you know how much this small southern region of Portugal has to offer, but for those of you who haven't enjoyed an Algarve holiday yet, this is the Algarve..Uncovered!

The Aljezur / Praia de Monte Clerigo area

Praia de Monte Clérigo is one of the most northerly beaches on the western Atlantic coast and is about a 10 minute drive from Aljezur. Coming from Monte Clérigo there is a fantastic view of the coast and a handy layby on the corner before you descend to the beach where you can stop and admire the view. The cliff tops are a mass of spring colour.

There are just a handful of houses and beach bungalows around the back of the beach, a generous car parking area with toilet facilities, and a couple of cafe/restaurants looking directly over the beach. Access to the beach is easy by way of a paved path from the car park directly onto the beach.

The bay is deep and sandy with a scattering of large rocks on one side, making it a lovely place for families as well as surfers; it is also a popular spot for fishing off the rocks.

Along with most of the western atlantic beaches it is a peaceful corner of the Algarve, as yet relatively untouched by tourism. Praia de Monte Clérigo is supervised during the 'beach season' and is also classed as an 'Accessible Beach'.
