The Algarve / West Algarve region

The Algarve enjoys a moderate climate all year round. The gentle sea breeze prevents the Algarve from suffering the humidity of Northern Europe in the summer months.

There is plenty to see. Just a 2 hour drive from Alvor takes you up to Lisbon the capital of Portugal and 2 hours in the other direction takes you over the boarder into southern spain.

Alvor is a classic old fishing village. Narrow cobbled streets lead down to the huge beautiful beach and harbour. The streets are a maze of shops, restaurants, cafes and bars. With very child friendly restaurants and bars that stay open late this resort has plenty for couples and families to enjoy.
Alvor beach caters for all watersports and has numerous beachside restaurants. There is a skydiving centre close by complete with cafe for watching.

The Alvor / Club Alvorferias area

Portimao is the closest main town and is filled with larger shops and restaurants. It is also known for its leather shops. Also close by is Praia de Rocha. There is a regular bus service to these towns running every 10 mins during the day and every 15/20 mins in the evening from Alvor village.

There is plenty for families to do close by. For example there is Zoo Marine, Slide and Splash as well as visiting the many beaches that are around the area. Down on the beautiful Harbour walk there are several boat trips available. eg. to see the dolphins, to the caves, fishing trips and around the coast to the village of Silves. These boats trips are available both during the day and in the evening from April until October. Also on the Harbour walk there are several beautiful cafe/bars with a full menu for snacks or for a more substantial meal with their comprehensive drinks / cocktails menu.

Portugals answer to Mizen Head is Cape St. Vincent which is approx. a 45min drive from Alvor. On the way why not visit the town of Lagos with its magnificent marina and lovely pier walk.

For the Golf Lover you are spoilt for choice. Within A 15/20min drive there are at least 7 courses for you to choose from. e.g. The Alto Golf( Just around the corner from the apartment), Penina Golf, Morgado, Palmares, Boavista and Pestana Pinta. The Algarve is recognised as one of the finest Golfing destinations in the world. See the following for details on golf courses: http://www.algarve-golf.com/algarve-golf/course.asp

“Alvor town lovely, apartment average, pool poor & dirty” Considering how much time you spend in an apartment on a sun holiday the apartment was OK. It had all the basic amenities and the DVD player with flat screen TV and DVD collection was good to keep the early rising children entertained, but they don't have the main Sky channels as advertised. We had problems with the air con unit leaking in the main bedroom which took a few days to fix. The main fuse to the whole apartment blew several times, twice during the night when virtually nothing was swicthed on. There was a constant sewer smell from the toilet. Internet connection wasn't wi-fi and the router didn't work anyway even if we'd brought a laptop. The pool was disappointingly small and went from shallow to deep very quickly so not good for small children. Missing tiles around the pool area created trip hazards and it wasn't kept tidy with bins overflowing at the end of the day resulting in ice cream wrappers being blown in and around the pool. One upside was the apartments location which meant a 15 min stroll into the lovely town of Alvor with its many fabulous restaurants and bars. We were lucky in that we had friends staying at the beautiful Vila Marachique up the road and when we weren't at the beach we spent most of the time at their pool which is huge, safe and clean. Another word of warning - over 4 months since we got back and despite several emails and texts we still do not have our 200 euros deposit back. We left the apartment in as a good condition as we found it. I know of at least one other person who stayed there this year who also has not had their deposit back.

“Apartment 822 - Perfect Holiday Home!” My husband and I with our 1 year old daughter have just returned from a fantastic holiday in Alvor. We rented a privately owned apartment in Clube Alvorferias, no. 822. It was perfect! It is a 2 bedroomed, top floor apartment with everything a family could possibly need for an easy, no-stress holiday away. Firstly, we arrived to a "welcome pack" to help us settle into our holiday. The pack contained all essentials to start a holiday having just arrived from the airport - tea, coffee, sugar, milk, bread, cereal, etc..... It was kindly provided to us by the owners. We were able to sit down & get into holiday mood immediately without having to check out a shop first! It made for a great start to our time there, a very personable touch. The kitchen is fully equipped with all utilities & mod cons of the highest standard to cater for all purposes - exactly what you need with a young family. The open plan living area is very comfortable and impressively decorated to remind you of your holiday at every turn - a bright & open space with colourful furnishings & big, open windows that let in every ounce of light from the day. The t.v. even has Sky Digital which was a blessing for early mornings with a 1 year old! Both bedrooms have very comfortable beds & more than ample wardrobe space. There are 4 balcony's within the apartment, the main large balcony being a focal point from the time you enter the apartment. It makes for a great area to chill out & unwind when the hot day is done & children are gone to bed. Perfect for a glass of wine to reward the day! Another point to note, most importantly for us, the apartment was spotlessly clean. It is great peace of mind with a young child & not always something you can rely on. Here however we did! We did not have to worry from the minute we arrived about leaving our daughter play on the floor. It was very impressive. Apt 822 is on the quiter, better presented side of the complex. With it's own pool area we were able to enjoy easy access without any fuss or hassle. It even has it's own baby pool which was ideal for us. The town of Alvor itself is only approx. 5 min walk from the apartment. It is an easy walk to the small town which offers everything you might want - small quiet cafes, lovely wine bars, pubs, restaurants, harbour walks & of course the beach! With easy access to a stretch of beach so beautiful, it is definitely a location we will return to.
