Coast/Beach
The apartment is located close to what are universally regarded as the most beutiful beaches and coastline of the Algarve. The nearest stunning sandy beach is only 15 minutes walk away and this links via a coastal or shoreline walk (at low tide) into the extensive Vau and Praia da Rocha beaches which eventually end at the Marina and breakwater which forms the entrance to the river Arade.
In Alvor the beach extends for 8 kilometres.

The driving range is within a 8 minute walk from the apartment and a golf school also operates from this location. Many alternative and excellent quality courses are within a 30 minute drive away and these include Penina, Quinta de Morgado (new), Palmares and Gramacho, Parque da Floresta, Boavista, Salgados. Within 45 minutes are the courses at Villamoura and Albufeira.
Travel
Faro airport is linked to the Western Algarve via a motorway (which extends up to Lisbon and also into the eastern Algarve and hence Spain/Gibraltar) and the apartment is approximately a 45 minute drive away. It is recommended that a car is hired (either at the airport or locally after arrival) especially if the area is to be properly explored and advice on this can be provided.
Distances
Both Alvor village and Portimao town are 5 minutes drive away. These locations provide access to a wide range of shops and hypermarkets. The picturesque sea front town of Lagos, the Monchique mountains, and the ancient town of Silves involve a 30 minute drive.
Further details
Alvor is an atmospheric and much loved fishing village located on an extensive estuary which provides a fantastic vista and includes a wild life sanctuary. This aspect can be viewed from a long waterside promenade. The region also has an extensive sandy beach. A maze of cobbled and narrow streets contain houses which are largely occupied by local inhabitants together with many restaurants some of whom barbecue fish on the pavements. In the surrounding area from the apartment numerous other restaurants can be visited to suit all tastes and budgets. For example Portimao is principally a Portuguese working town and it is an easy matter to eat where the locals do at much less cost.
Details are provided in the apartment of restaurants and many leisure activities which are kept updated. It is also possible to book many organised excursions (Seville, Lisbon, Gibraltar etc) from Alvor.

Guest comments
We had a really super holiday in Portugal. Your apartment is lovely, a real home from home and exactly what we were looking for. The weather was perfect for all our stay - the worst bit of the holiday was having to leave!
We found your notes to be extremely helpful - thank you so much. No negatives to report, just lovely memories...
Thanks again,
Louise
We had a fabulous holiday in your apartment. Will definitely recommend it to our friends. It was so beautifully clean and well kept, and little things like reading books to borrow and such a well equipped kitchen made all the difference. The standard of cleaning mid stay was excellent too.
Our children made so many friends in the shared pool, that Chris and I actually got to read books and listen to our Ipods! We used the tennis court near the driving range a few times
Will definitely book with you again, if not next year then in a couple of years time.
Thanks again.
Kate, Chris, Thomas & Lucy

The owners
About the owner
We are a retired couple living in Chesham, Bucks.
We equipped the apartment to a very high standard as a personal home, not as a rental property. We use it about 8 weeks ourself and our children also enjoy their visits. We like to think you will enjoy it as much as we do!
Year purchased: 2001
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We bought the property at Alto after looking at a number of other developments on the Algarve. For us, the quality of the build and the internal fittings was far superior to that of the other apartments we saw.
The apartment is very well situated on a private road overlooking a golf course, where it is quiet and tranquil. Yet it is only 5 minutes to Praira da Rocha Alvor and Portimao for restaurants, beaches or shopping.
We have owned the property since 2001 and still think it is the best built and best sited of all the apartments we have seen.
Unique benefits of the property
After booking guests are sent a comprehensive information pack.
There is a shared pool in the rear gardens at the apartment with a children's section. Of particular advantage (especially in hot weather) are the front and rear terraces of the apartment which provide shade and keep the indoor areas cool.
Guests who wish to play golf will appreciate being 200 yards from the Alto clubhouse.
