For a stay in Algarve, Villanovo has selected several locations for you to spend the best stay in this region of southern Portugal.
Known for its landscapes, its gastronomy and its history, Algarve is full of good addresses where you can enjoy sports activities or good restaurants. However, if it is your first time in Algarve, having a list of good addresses will save you a lot of time and avoid unpleasant surprises.
Consult the Villanovo guide to plan your trip to Algarve!
For a trip that suits you, it is important to select your accommodation carefully.
Villanovo has a wide choice of luxury villas in the larger cities of Algarve, where you can select the one that best suits your taste.
In Albufeira, Villa Idillya is perfect for a large group of friends as the villa can accommodate up to 10 people, and also offers a superb sea view: the perfect cocktail for a luxury vacation!
In Faro, we offer you villa Royko also ideal for a group of friends or a large family, the garden and the swimming pool of the villa offer a large space to enjoy sunny days or evenings by the pool.
In Vilamoura, we recommend you the superb villa Millenium, you will be charmed by its modernity and its chic and refined interior decoration.
The soil of Algarve, particularly suitable for the development of the vine, makes the region a place to taste quality wines. Among the many producers in the region, a family vineyard of eight hectares nestled in the hills of Silvès is worth a visit: Quinta do Françês where red wine has been produced since 2002. If you drop by to taste the family's wines, you will also enjoy a superb view of the Algarve hills in a warm atmosphere.
Whether you stay in Portimao or Albufeira, you can easily and quickly get there and visit this family vineyard.
For golf enthusiasts, just because you've left your local club for a vacation doesn't mean you're going to deprive yourself of your favourite activity. Even in Algarve, it is possible to play golf at a good club and spend a sportive day.
For an afternoon of golf, head to the Pine Cliffs course, east of Albufeira. Composed of 9 holes, 3 of which face the ocean, one comes here to practice golf in a calm and idyllic atmosphere.
Arrive early in the morning to be the first to tread the fresh grass of Pine Cliffs.
Where to party?
When visiting Algarve, it would be a shame not to enjoy the Portuguese atmosphere and dancing nights under the stars. Villanovo offers you to go to a trendy beach bar at the foot of the cliffs and by the ocean.
In this ambiance restaurant located in Praia dos Tres Irmãos near Portimao, you can taste fresh seafood, drink good cocktails and when the weather is good, the DJ installed in the sand animates the evening and makes you dance until the end of the night. Friendly and chic atmosphere since the cliffs are lit, no risk of getting caught in the sand.
After a night of dancing, why not take a few moments to take a breather and get back into a Zen mood?
If you want to unwind, opt for a day at the protected natural park of Ria Formosa. This 18.00-hectare park is mainly made of virgin beaches and if you are a nature lover, you will be happy to observe the Sultan Talève or the Bittern herons. The visit is done by boat on a very calm water since the site is entirely protected.
