Why the Algarve? - "Why did we choose to buy a villa in the Algarve? Simple, the Algarve is Portugal’s main holiday destination.

In contrast and only a short distance inland, it offers a peaceful and often picturesque countryside with the scent of oranges from the numerous orange groves, quiet castle towns, flower-covered hillsides and enchanting glimpses of the local algarvian farmers going about their daily chores. There is something for everyone of every age here."

That’s why, when I finally visited the region, its natural beauty, delicious cuisine and fabulous array of outdoor activities took me completely by surprise."
