The Algarve: You Asked - We Answered - Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Algarve really sunny all year round?
Pretty much! With over 300 days of sunshine a year, the Algarve is basically Europe’s answer to the tropics, just with better seafood and pastel-painted villages. Bring your shades and a good book, this is prime lounging territory.

Why stay in a villa instead of a hotel?
Because space, privacy, and your own pool beat a crowded breakfast buffet any day. Algarve villas often come with sea views, lush gardens, and BBQs made for long, lazy lunches. It’s your holiday, your rules, no check-in desk required.

Which part of the Algarve should I stay in?
It depends on your vibe!

★ Lagos is cool and historic with stunning beaches.
★Albufeira brings the buzz (and nightlife).
★Vilamoura is sleek, with golf and marinas.
★Tavira is quieter and charming, ideal for slow mornings and seafood dinners.

The good news? We’ve got villas in all the right places.

Do I need a car?
Yes, if you want to explore the best beaches, secret coves, hilltop towns, and market days. The Algarve is super road-trip friendly, and the freedom to cruise from cliffside cafés to golden sand is hard to beat. Most Algarve villa rentals have private parking, too.

Is it good for families?
One of the best spots in Europe for family holidays! Calm waters, kid-friendly beaches, waterparks, and villas with loads of space to spread out. Parents love the slower pace, and kids love… well, everything.

What’s the food like?
Fresh, simple, and ridiculously delicious. Think grilled sardines, peri-peri chicken, seafood stews, and flaky pastries. You can cook in your villa’s kitchen, or better yet, let a private chef handle dinner while you sip wine by the pool.

Can we stock up before we arrive?
Definitely. Many villas offer pre-arrival grocery services, so your fridge can be full the minute you walk in. Want wine chilled and breakfast pastries waiting? Just say the word.
