If you’re looking for a holiday home in the Algarve, it can be difficult to know where to start. There are so many options, making it hard to know where to look.

The Algarve is a region in Portugal that is known for its beautiful beaches, great weather, and some of the best golf courses in the world, which makes for wonderfully fun holidays. If you’re looking for a beach holiday, the Algarve is the perfect place for you. If you seek tranquillity and a secluded vacation home, in the Algarve you may also find solutions to fit your desires!

Tips for choosing the perfect vacation home

Location, Location, Location

The Algarve is split into two regions, with a northern part that is closer to the mountains and nature and a southern part in proximity to the coastline. If you want to be near some of the best beaches in the Algarve, such as those found in Lagos or Praia da Rocha, then you will want to look for a villa in the southern part of the Algarve. In those regions you will also find golf-courses, water parks, wine estates and many more beaches and resorts.

If you travel to the heart of the Western Algarve, in the Estômbar region, you’ll find a resort inside a Wine Estate, called The Vines – which not only makes for a fun place to vacation but also promises some quirky activities and amenities to enjoy. From villas to apartments, the Estate offers some amazing housing for both vacationing and remote working.

Besides being a place filled with tranquillity – as it is surrounded by hectares of vineyards and nature – it is close enough to the villages of Lagoa and Portimão, so it is possible to dine out, go clubbing, to the beach, sightseeing and participate in other activities that only the Algarve offers with such passion.

Size matters

If you’re looking for a big family holiday home, you should try to find something that has more than one bedroom, like a villa or a bigger  apartment. At Quinta dos Vales you’ll find paradise both in housing and in the location. The villas available  can accommodate from one to twelve people, which means it suits both families and single persons.

Amenities and Activities

If you’re renting a house in the Algarve, you will want to make sure that it has all the amenities that you need. For example, if you have children, you should look for a home that has a pool so that they can swim safely.
