Algarve
Book luxury holidays to the Algarve at Rocksure and enjoy an incredible break at one of our luxury villas in the region.
The sunny region of Portugal known as the Algarve is one of the best loved coastlines in Europe with a good choice of holiday resorts from sleepy fishing villages to vibrant holiday hotspots. It has a remarkable micro-climate which gives it at least a 10-month holiday season, some would say more. The odds are high that you can be playing golf or tennis in warm sunshine between March and December and, quite possibly, in January and February as well. That is a huge advantage, not least because the Algarve is an ’outdoor’ destination, a paradise for swimming and water sports, tennis and golf.
The Algarve is a mecca for golfers; in just 50 miles of coastline, there are 22 well-kept challenging golf courses, many of championship standard. In the evenings, you can relax with a glass of the local vinho verde on the terrace of your lovely property and dine under the stars; or visit one of the many attractive restaurants, some of them right beside the beach.
Faro Airport (FAO) serves the Algarve which is the main hub for holidaymakers descending on the region. If you are planning a holiday in the Algarve here are the distances from the airport to the main resorts in the region. Faro to Albufeira: 50km, Faro to Vilamoura: 35km, Faro to Lagos: 90km, Faro to Alvor: 75km. As you can see transfers are reasonably short so when setting off on your holiday to the Algarve you will be checked in and sipping cocktails, building a sandcastle or hitting your first drive before you know it.
Our most popular luxury villa in the Algarve is the wonderful Casa Alto do Cerro villa in Goldra which offers spectacular views towards Albufeira and Tavira.
