Overview
Step into Alporchinhos Vermelho, your dreamy home away from home on the Algarve. Surrounded by lush green hedges and set on a quiet side street in a residential area, this traditional Portuguese villa is just the place to spend some time away from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life.
Inside the villa, rustic Portuguese decor meets you in each room. A cosy tiled living room features a large comfortable sofa and a family TV for relaxing and spending time together. Within the villa, you also have a games room with a full-sized pool table which is yours to use at your leisure.
You have use of a fully-equipped kitchen during your stay, with all the mod cons needed to create delicious home-cooked meals for you and your guests. Adjacent to the kitchen is an indoor dining room decorated in traditional Mediterranean style with a large dining table and solid wood accents. If the dining room feels too formal, you can dine in the kitchen itself or take meals outside on the terrace, where additional seating can be found as well as a traditional barbecue.
Spread across two levels, you’ll have your choice of four simply decorated comfortable bedrooms. On the ground floor is a twin bedroom with a private en-suite bathroom and a second twin bedroom with a separate bathroom adjacent. Two more bedrooms are located upstairs, one with a double bed and one with two twin beds, and both have their own private en-suite bathrooms.
Outside, you have a lovely space to rest, dine and relax. On the terrace is a decent-sized private swimming pool complete which is surrounded by comfortable sun loungers and parasols. Just behind the swimming pool and sun terrace are the barbecue and outdoor dining area, perfect for poolside lunches.
The garden itself is large and grassy, with a full-sized ping pong table located on the lawn, giving kids plenty of space to run and play during their stay.

Location
About the surrounding area of Alporchinhos VermelhoGetting to Alporchinhos Vermelho is a cinch, however, you choose to do so. If you’re staying at the villa as part of a wider trip around Portugal, you can easily access Alporchinhos Vermelho by road as the area is well-served on both a local and national level. If you’re staying at the villa alone for your holiday, you’ll likely arrive in Portugal via Faro Airport, which is around 40 minutes away by car.
Set on the outskirts of sleepy Porches, Alporchinhos Vermelho is a great choice for a cosy escape in the sun. While setting back from town, getting in and out is pretty easy with Armação de Pêra, located just five minutes away by car.
If you’re looking for beaches, you’ll be spoiled for choice. All within a five minute drive of the villa are Praia Nova, Praia da Cova Redonda, Praia dos Tremocos and two Blue Flag beaches in Praia de Nossa Senhora da Rocha and Praia de Armação de Pêra.
While the town and the beaches are all within walking distance of Alporchinhos Vermelho, we do recommend using a car to get out and about as the area is relatively steep and may not be suitable for some guests.
You’re also ideally placed for day trips and excursions as you can get around the area fairly easily, with several attractions and the town of Albufeira less than 30 minutes away by car.

THE REGION
Carvoeiro has always been known for its beautiful coastline, adorned with cliffs, coves and incredible sandy beaches stretching all the way along to Albufeira. These days, however, there is a lot more going on in this charming town than just waves hitting the sand (although that’s certainly still a highlight).
In the past few years Carvoeiro has developed to accommodate for the growing number of tourists who are curious to see what the fuzz is all about, and the town continues to get livelier and livelier each summer. While it has kept its character and remains exquisitely peaceful, there are also plenty of modern amenities and loads of exciting activities in the area. The only thing Carvoeiro won’t provide is a good party, but there are other parts of the Algarve which are perfect for that.
ABOUT THE ALGARVE
Though most people tend to see the Algarve as all about the beaches and a holiday on the Med, there’s far much more to it than that.
But while you’re enjoying one of our fantastic villas in Algarve, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we’ve put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesStaying with kids at Alporchinhos Vermelho is really easy as there are lots to do both in the villa and in the surrounding area. In the villa itself, kids love having their own private swimming pool where they can splash and play whenever they like.
Provisions are made to keep the whole family entertained with various games around the property, including a pool table inside and a ping pong table outside. There’s also a small putting green located by the pool.
For tech-savvy kids, Alporchinhos Vermelho is well-served by high-speed internet throughout, letting them keep in touch with friends back home and play their favourite online games and media.
Your nearby beaches are great for families, especially Praia de Nossa Senhora da Rocha and Praia de Armação de Pêra, both of which have been granted Blue Flag status. Both beaches offer beautiful golden sands and calm blue waters, which kids of all ages love to play in, whether that involves spending days digging complex waterworks in the sand with their bucket and spade or learning how to surf on the gentle waves.
If you’re thinking of taking the kids out on a day trip, there are lots to see and do in the surrounding area. With Albufeira right on your doorstep, you can participate in lots of activities both on and offshore.
From the marina, daily boat trips depart, varying from gentle glass-bottom boat rides or trying their hands at sea fishing just off the coast. Particularly popular with families when visiting this region is Zoomarine, a combination water park and zoo located just outside Albufeira.
