Although there are plenty of not-to-be-missed activities to indulge in when visiting the Algarve, it would be churlish to overlook the stretches of golden sand that make up its beaches and the verdant pleasures of its famous golf courses.
Monte Rei, close to Tavira in the part of the region bordering Spain, is growing hugely in popularity and for good reason, while the classic Old Course near Albufeira has been providing just the right level of challenge for generations. Meanwhile, the new Laranjal course inn Quinta do Lobo is drawing plenty of praise.
The unspoiled charms of the famous Marinha beach in Lagoa and the celebrity favourite of Vale do Lobo have huge appeal, but the colourful limestone cliffsides that shelter a succession of semi-secluded coves in Ponta da Piedade and some of the more rugged areas of The Algarve coastline will charm anyone with a taste for the magnificent. Meanwhile, the semi-deserted Ilha da Barreta is the perfect place to live out your castaway fantasies surrounded by some truly beautiful scenery.
Charming fishing villages populate much of the coastline stretching from the wild beaches of Sagres to the elegant town of Tavira, taking in the likes of popular spots Lagos, Albufeira and Vilamoura along the way. Inland, the landscape takes on a lush, green hue with the leafy environs of Monchique and beyond showcasing another face to this perfect holiday destination. Meanwhile, the natural wonder of the Ria Formosa natural park provides plenty of activities to please both old and young.
Explore this fascinating region with a stay in one of Villanovo's high-end villa rentals in the Algarve, ideal for friends and families alike.
A trip to The Algarve is an excellent opportunity to sample the local Portuguese cuisine. Portugal is a country with a gastronomical tradition that leans heavily on the fruits of its coastline, alongside a skill in cake-making that has bestowed on the world the delicious pasteis do nata, custard tarts. Traditional dishes such as cataplana, bacalhau assado, frango da guia and the delicious conquilhas à Algarvia originate from the area and sit alongside other local delicacies and international cuisine at the many restaurants that pepper the Algarve.
Vista - Located on a promontory in Praia da Rocha, Vista, as its name suggests, offers an exceptional view of the coastline and a first-class menu composed of local products.
Gigi's - Located on the Quinta do Lago beach, and accessible via a wooden bridge over the lagoon, Gigi’s is one of the region’s best-known addresses. A great place for seafood and fish dishes.
BonBon - Chef José Lopes offers a modern menu featuring regional flavours with an
emphasis on recipes from the Algarve. Michelin-starred,
Vila Joya Sea - Austrian-born chef Dieter Koschina creates contemporary and refined dishes, cooked with the freshest ingredients. A culinary experience in a magical setting.
O Leão de Porches - Housed in a beautiful, 17th-century country house with a romantic atmosphere, O Leão de Porches serves elegant dishes, combining Mediterranean flavours with Northern European influences.
We enjoyed barbecuing at the property. We also did a lovely wine tasting evening with dinner and enjoyed a beach restaurant near our villa in Algarve and other restaurants locally.
