We enjoy the location of Alvor for walking nd birdwatching, and was close to the town for eating out in the evenings. It was colder for November and did find the house a little cold upstairs, having to use the real fire downstairs on a few evenings. The outside areas are spacious prticularly the roof terrace with good views, but again maybe limited use on the colder, wet November days. The stairs to the roof terrace would benefit from hand rails, particularly after the rain, the stairs were very slippy. A great family sized villa in a less tourist area (which is what we like) but with a good selection of bars, restaurants, shops and supermarket all in easy walking distance. ##### Hilary M.

We had a fantastic time staying in Alvor. The villa is great for families (we had a 1 year old and a 3 year old) and was really well kitted out with a travel cot, high chair, plastic bowls etc. There isn’t a stair gate, but everything else is child friendly. The villa is really nicely furnished and has all the essentials you may need - hand wash, toilet rolls, towels, bedding etc. I was also really impressed with the help from the contacts beforehand with some questions I had. The location is great - nice and quiet, but only approx five mins from the marina/restaurants, five mins from the beach and only a few mins from a big Intermarche, which is open until 9pm each day. I can highly recommend staying here - a great experience! ##### Emma-Jane B. Stayed 7 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine W. 3 Jan 2019 #### Lovely house is a great location This is a lovely property, and the owner's personal touches (artwork etc) make it a really nice place to stay. The groundfloor consists of sitting room, dining room, kitchen and WC. The shady backyard has a table and chairs for eating outside, sink, barbeque and washing machine. The first floor has three bedrooms, one of which is ensuite, and a master bathroom. All the bedroom have balconies. There is also a roof terrace with table and chairs and sun loungers. We went over Christmas and New Year, which is a lovely time of year in the Algarve - day time temperatures of around 18C, with full sun on most days, make it great for trips to beaches, local towns and villages, and the Lagos zoo. The property is in a great location, 5 minutes walk from the beach, saltmarsh board walk, harbour and town centre. The local supermarket is open year round and caters well for British visitors. Alvor is a popular destination for Portugese visitors over Christmas and New Year, so many local shops and restaurants are open, even on the public holidays. On New Year's eve, everyone congregates at the harbour for music and fireworks at midnight, and the friendly atmosphere is great for families. We've stayed in several towns in the Algarve during the winter, and this is our favourite, as it's beautiful, peaceful, and feels like a real town rather than a holiday resort. One issue with the house that's worth mentioning is that the wifi doesn't stretch to the first floor, so people wanting to watch videos at bedtime needed to download something or use their 3G data. The English language TV channels include various international news channels and BBC entertainment, and sometimes you come across English films/shows on the other channels with Portugese subtitles. The downstairs TV is internet connected and has Netflix, so you can login to your own account. The TV in the master bedroom is not internet connected but has the regular channels. ##### Katherine W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lars G. 29 Oct 2018 #### Perfect stay. Second time. We had a great time in Alvor again. It was our second stay at this villa and we have already made plans to return in April. That says it all. Ideally located between the city and the beach. Booking and communication were again very straightforward and professional. ##### Lars G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Derek B. 30 Sept 2018 #### Great Villa with sea view Just back from staying two weeks in this fantastic villa.It's good to have different terraces to sit and enjoy the views and relax. The villa is in a perfect location just a short walk to the town and the beach. Isabel and Pedro were fast to respond to any questions. The villa itself was very clean and everything you could ask for was there. Would definitely recommend this villa to anybody that is going to be staying in Alvor. We hope to return to Alvor sometime in the future and will be booking this villa if it's available. ##### Derek B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christian W. 27 Aug 2018 #### Great villa We had a lovely week in the beautiful house in Alvor, enjoyed it a lot, the house is great. ##### Christian W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jesper O., Hinnerup, Denmark 1 Aug 2018 #### Nice house with a brilliant location We spent 3 weeks in this very nice property in Alvor. The house is situated close to the beach, a five minutes walk, and the same distance from the city centre with good restaurants, shopping and supermarket. Especially the fish restaurant “O arco da velha” is recommended, we went twice and we were not dissapointed, but remember reservations. The kitchen in the house is well-equipped with all you need. There is a nice outside area with outdoor kitchen and a barbecue. All rooms has aircondition and are spacious. The clue of the house is the roof top terrace with a sea view. Alvor is very well situated both for the beach but also for tours in the surroundings. We visited both the west coast and also nearby larger cities, Lagos and Portimao. Portimao is best for Shopping, but do the cave boat trip from Lagos by small boat, the actially sail into the caves. We also visited Aqualand water park, also a good experience, buy tickets online the day before, we got a 50% discount. All comminication with the owners went smooth and everyting worked out as agrees. All in all this property and area is highly recommended. ##### Jesper O. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin B. 8 Jul 2018 #### Fantastic House This was our 3rd stay with a 4th booked for next year. The house is absolutely perfect with a wonderful roof terrace for all day sun. Separate garden section at the back offers a bit of a break to chill out. Close to the numerous restaurants which is always a highlight of Alvor and minutes from the beach and Boardwalk ##### Martin B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### neil g. 28 Jun 2018 #### Excellent ! Villa exactly as described and superbly presented, arrival insructionsclear and easy to follow, Perfectly located within a 5 min walk to beaches and village. Views from the terraces uninterrupted to the sea and dunes,beautiful. A cold water shower on the roof terrace would be ideal as it gets very hot up there. Especially enjoyed the lovely restaurants and good standard live music in the village. Have already recommended to friiends and will definitely return. ##### neil g. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Luna Alvor Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Luna-Alvor-Bay.h4408323.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Blue Ocean](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Blue-Ocean.h14861176.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Marina Portimao Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Marina-Portimao.h976931.Hotel-Information) > > [Algarve Race Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Algarve-Race-Resort-Hotel.h14775716.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Luar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Hotel-Luar.h8036099.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Cliffs Residence, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Pine-Cliffs-Residence.h904328.Hotel-Information) > > [AP Oriental Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-AP-Oriental-Beach.h912470.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartamentos Jardins da Rocha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Apartamentos-Jardins-Da-Rocha.h1455684.Hotel-Information) > > [Bela Vista Hotel & SPA - Relais & Châteaux](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Bela-Vista-Hotel-SPA-Relais-Chateaux.h4478076.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Algarve Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Hotel-Algarve-Casino.h6468.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Cliffs Hotel, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Pine-Cliffs-Hotel.h4071.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Alvor Beach Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Pestana-Dom-Joao-Villas-Beach-Golf-Resort.h19236923.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Alvor Atlântico Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Pestana-Alvor-Atlantico-Residences.h876771.Hotel-Information) > > [RR Hotel da Rocha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Hotel-Da-Rocha.h3691697.Hotel-Information) > > [Flor da Rocha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Flor-Da-Rocha.h7439442.Hotel-Information) > > [Penina Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Penina-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h19040.Hotel-Information) > > [NAU Salema Beach Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vila-Do-Bispo-Hotels-Salema-Beach-Village.h15175162.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Blue Alvor Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Pestana-Delfim-Beach-Golf-Hotel.h795890.Hotel-Information) > > [3HB Guarana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-3HB-Guarana-All-Inclusive.h4813341.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Falésia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Falesia.h1787641.Hotel-Information) > > [Jupiter Algarve Hotel - Beach & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Jupiter-Algarve-Hotel.h1133428.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Tivoli-Carvoeiro.h891221.Hotel-Information) > > [TURIM Algarve Mor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Turim-Algarve-Mor-Hotel.h12424932.Hotel-Information) > > [RR Club Amarilis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Club-Amarilis.h2571667.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Alvor Praia Beach & Golf Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Pestana-Alvor-Praia-Beach-Golf-Hotel.h569022.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Dom João II Hotel Beach & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Pestana-Dom-Joao-II-Hotel-Beach-Golf-Resort.h181966.Hotel-Information) > > [The Navigator - Solaqua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Luna-Solaqua.h4461872.Hotel-Information) > > [Clube Vilarosa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Clube-Vilarosa.h2458730.Hotel-Information) > > [Rocha Brava Village Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Rocha-Brava-Village-Resort.h1111695.Hotel-Information) > > [Tarik by Atlantichotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-TARIK-BY-ATLANTICHOTELS.h54523066.Hotel-Information)
