Relax in this idyllic and picturesque quiet hideaway.Stroll along the street to the local market where you can buy fresh fish, bread, fruit and vegetables as well as organic honey and other local delicacies. There are 3 outdoor areas to choose from. Unwind on the bedroom veranda and people watch, eat alfresco in the secluded bar b q area off the kitchen or enjoy home cuisine with a glass of chilled wine indoors. On the top terrace sunbathe on the loungers, relax or read on the sofa, enjoy breakfast or simply star gaze. Stroll down to the harbour and watch the sunset over the water whilst sipping an apperitif. Enjoy the local fare at one of the many restaurants close by. If you need to catch up with work there is excellent wifi and ample kitchen space with a large table. The local supermarket is a few minutes walk.
But if it's action you crave there are plenty of activities close by from kite surfing to snorkeling and fishing or you can hire a car or bicyle locally and visit the beautiful mountain area of Monchique. The bustling shopping centres in Portimao are only 10 minutes away and there is a local bus every 20 minutes. There is always a bit of live music and plenty of pubs and bars in the heart of the village if you want some entertainment. .
This is a self contained house on the first floor with a large, fitted, open plan and fully equiped kitchen/living area. Here you have everything you need in a home from home. There is an outside private bar b q area off the kitchen. The ample sized bedroom has a small veranda. where you can glimpse the sea. There is a private bathroom with shower, bath and bidet. Sheets and towels are provided as well as beach towels, with extra towels and sheets if your stay is over one week.(Minimum stay one week.)There is a top floor terrace.
The house has a private entrance and is located in a quiet street close to all local amenities.The vegetable and fruit market is around the corner and the harbour a 4 minute stroll.The stunning extensive Alvor beach is only a 6 minute walk. From there you can take the boardwalk through to Priainha with its charming coves or walk in the opposite direction along the unspoilt beach backed by sand dunes to the estuary that separates Alvor from Lagos. There is a regular water taxi from the harbour to Lagos.
This special and unique spot in the Algarve is suitable for couples who want to enjoy the sun and soak up the atmosphere of a typical Algarvian fishing village or catch up on some work in a secret hideaway, with plenty to do close at hand should you so desire.
*recommended for responsible adults due to steep stairs at entrance. Smoking in outside areas only.

Restful Alvor
Christine is a great host. She answered all queries promptly and effectively. The apartment is very central and it was easy to get around on foot. The apartment is a good size. Alvor is a super place to spend a relaxing holiday. Highly recommended.
