Villa holidays present the best of both worlds. High quality private holiday accommodation comes with the freedom to take life at your own pace. On an Algarve villa holiday, you are free to do what you want to do, exactly when you want to do it. There are no restrictions imposed upon you by hotel staff and no interruptions from over eager holiday reps.
Self-catering villa holidays are suited to all age groups and can be enjoyed by couples, families and large parties alike. Self-catering accommodation provides you with the opportunity to relax and take it easy whilst also giving you the ideal platform, from which to organise your own activities. With our wide choice of Algarve villas available, accommodation can be chosen to suit the size and requirements of your party.
You can do whatever you like, according to your own agenda. If you happen to sleep in late one morning after an evening’s socialising, you can rest assured that you haven’t missed breakfast. There is still plenty of coffee and orange juice; all you have to do is make it for yourselves. You decide what and how much you have to eat and when and where to take your other meals – eating out some times, and relaxing in with a good bottle of wine and some fresh food from the local markets on others. The only thing to bear in mind is that from approximately midday to 15.30 hours is siesta time so many of the shops will not be open.

A self-catering villa holiday in the Algarve presents you with the opportunity to unwind and relax into the Mediterranean way of life. Your space and time is your own, to do with what you will. So what are you going to do with all that time? Relax by the pool with a good book? Go for a leisurely stroll in the beautiful local countryside? Wander around the quaint little villages and towns of the area? Spend the day at a beach? Gently prepare for a lunch party or a soiree with a group of friends or play golf?
The Algarve is of course world famous for its golf courses. There are in excess of 35 courses to choose from, many of which are of the highest calibre. Green fees range from €28 at Penina Academy in Portimão to €150 at Monte Rei in Tavira.
There are also miles and miles of soft sandy beaches and beautifully clear blue waters on the coast of the Algarve, Portugal, much of it award winning in terms of cleanliness and safety. Water sports of varying kinds abound here from the genteel lilos and pedaloes of the central Algarve coast to the more adventurous scuba and wind surfing and adrenaline fuelled water skiing and surfing further up the coast towards Sagres.
Whatever you choose to do with your time, you can be guaranteed a fun and relaxing break with some very fine weather to boot. The summers are very warm, reaching temperatures of 40 ºC in high season and even in winter, when the sun shines for just 6 hours a day, the temperature rarely falls to below 15ºC.
