Algarve

More on Algarve

Portugal's southernmost region is blessed with an almost tropical climate and boasts over 3,000 hours of annual sunshine, making an Algarve villa rental ideal for sun worshipers. More than sixty beaches and a myriad rugged rocky coves provide a treasure trove of enticing bathing spots and scenic walks along endless miles of glorious coastline, often within walking distance of your Algarve villa. If you're a sports enthusiast, you'll probably choose an Algarve villa rental in Central or Western Algarve where you can enjoy an impressive array of sporting challenges, from golf and tennis to a multitude of watersports. But for many, renting an Algarve villa is all about relaxation - and there's no better place to do that than right here.

Highlights of the Algarve
Much of the charm of the Algarve lies in its endearing blend of quaint simplicity and warm sophistication. The natural hospitality of the Algarveans is a legacy of the five hundred year Moorish occupation of the region, complemented by a pleasing and relaxing lack of urgency in day to day life. This a land of paradox, where one moment you'll see a wizened, sun-wrinkled elder leading a donkey and cart to the market as his ancestors have done for generations and the next you'll meet some of the world's top sportsmen testing their skills on an award-winning golf course. And whilst the Algarve has many splendid water parks providing endless fun for children, those same youngsters can enjoy many a sun-filled hour simply exploring rock pools on the beach
