The Algarve / West 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 cafe's and enjoy the balmy weather.
Alvor area
There are several restaurants within a 5 minute walk of the complex. The picturesque fishing village of Alvor is 1.4km away and has a wonderful atmosphere, with pretty promenades, street cafe's, excellent restaurants and interesting shops. The local bus service to Alvor and Portimão passes outside the complex.
The Continente Shopping Centre and hypermarket in Portimão is 3km away. It has several cinemas with most movies in English. The Ria de Alvor nature reserve is 2km away and has lovely walks and bird watching. For livelier nightlife, Portimão Marina and Praia da Rocha, both 5km away, are popular locations, with plenty of restaurants, bars, discos and a casino. Faro Airport is 45 minutes by car.
The breathtakingly beautiful sandy beaches in the Western Algarve are amongst the finest in Europe. Praia do Alvor is about 1km away and Praia da Rocha and Praia do Vau are just 3km away; with restaurants nestling in the sculptured cliffs, they offer a perfect setting for a memorable day out.
Golfing enthusiasts have an excellent choice of courses. The nearest is Alto Golf in Alvor (1km) and Penina (7km), both designed by Sir Henry Cotton. The new Quinta Morgado course is located off the Portimão-Monchique Road just north of the A22 motorway and a little further away is the Boavista course in Lagos.

We would like to congratulate you on an excellent service, and a very high standard of accommodation offered, which also had fantastic views. We had a fantastic time at the beautiful apartment in Alvor and wish to thank you for your assistance with booking our holiday. Lorraine, Crawley, West Sussex, September 2009
We all had a very enjoyable holiday. The apartment was excellent and bigger than we expected. The complex was well maintained and run very well. The bar closing at 7 pm was ideal and the evenings were quiet. Ray, Co.Meath, Ireland, July 2009
