Location
About the surrounding area of Moradia ConcelhoMoradia Concelho is located in the amazing, beautiful Southwest Alentejo and Costa Vicentina Natural Park. It offers glorious countryside views, delightful nature walks and beautiful, unspoiled beaches, the nearest being Praia da Quebrada.
At the foot of the Monchique Mountains, the nearby town of Aljezur offers traditional restaurants, supermarkets and some excellent shops. It is brimming with charming rural architecture, whitewashed buildings, castles, ancient churches and scenic sea views. The town is set along a narrow river, split into two halves. Its tenth-century Moorish castle sits at the top of a very steep cobbled hill with stunning views of the old town where the Moors first settled. The oldest building in the new town is the eighteenth-century Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Alva which sits in the main square, surrounded by cafes and shops.
Praia de Odeceixe is a stunning beach within easy reach. It is famous for its horseshoe pattern, surrounded by the Ribeira de Seize River. With excellent waves, a stunning lagoon and dramatic cliffs, the beach are very popular with surfers and families. Praia de Amalia was named after the well-known Portuguese fado singer Amalia Rodrigues who had a house next to the beach. Close to this is the village of Carvalhal, which is surrounded by rice fields and sits next to the Sado nature reserve.
Further south, you will discover Sagres, with its many cafes, bars and restaurants. It offers surfboard rentals, bicycle rentals, a colourful market, a supermarket, a bakery and other shops. There is a busy nightlife and fantastic cuisine, particularly fresh fish, at the restaurants. Praia do Martinhal is close by as well as other glorious beaches including Praia da Mareta with its long stretch of golden sand and fabulous bars and restaurants, Praia da Baleeira which is much smaller and more sheltered and Praia do Tonel which faces west, right into the prevailing wind so is extremely popular with brave surfers. The relentless, powerful Atlantic waves draw surfers to Sagres. Slightly northwest is Praia do Beliche, another popular surfing spot. There are many surf schools in Sagres for lessons and equipment hire. The Sagres fort sits on the top of the headland to the south of Praia da Mareta. It dated back to the 15th century and was built to deter pirate attacks from North Africa. There is a pleasant cliffside walk inside the fort as well as a lighthouse, grotto and a large wind compass.
The most western point of mainland Europe is Cabo Sao Vicente, around four miles from Sagres. The lighthouse sits atop the two hundred and fifty-foot cliffs, the beam from which can be seen thirty-five miles out to sea. The area is very barren with the constant winds and is in keeping with the once believed that it was the end of the world. It is the starting point for two long-distance hikes, the Via Algarviana GR13 route east and the Rota Vicentina, which heads north for two hundred and eighty miles. For a challenging one-day hike, there is a circular route from Praia do Beliche to Cabo de Sa Vicente, past Telheiro Beach and through the hamlet of Santo Antonio and back to Beliche.

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. There’s actually a load of fascinating culture and history, superb cuisine and enthralling adventures to be had, though we’d be the first to admit that the beaches are pretty special too, with lots of sand, spectacle and wonderfully clean water.
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 AgesMoradia Concelho is ideal for a family holiday. This dreamy villa is very spacious, offering open-plan living spaces and seven bedrooms. One of these offers a king-size bed and a single; another offers three single beds, ideal for children. The swimming pool is superb, and children love meeting the animals.
This is an area for groups that love nature. There are amazing beaches, popular with surfers, gorgeous walking paths and cycle paths. There are beaches that families love, with fine sand and sheltered coves. Older children love the thrill of the waves. Towards Sagres, there are many surf schools, including Wave Sensations, Freeride Surf School, Sagres Natura Surf Camp and the International Surf School Sagres. They offer one-off lessons, courses, equipment hire and also yoga for those that do not want to surf. The lessons are taught by highly qualified instructors and are suitable for all levels, from beginners to advanced surfers. As well as surfing, children can learn to stand-up paddleboard.
Mar Llimitado is a team of passionate marine biologists committed to the preservation of the ocean. They offer boat tours with environmental education as well as a lot of fun. You will visit grottoes, cliffs and hidden bays, as well as dolphins. The rip rides are great fun at 50kph!
Children enjoy the off-road tours offered by various companies, including Sagres Discovery Off-Road Tours. You will escape the tourist masses and explore areas surrounded by nature. One trip is heading towards the Monchique mountains and Bravura lake. You will definitely feel as though you have discovered the real Portugal.
Tuk Tuk Sagres takes families around the local Sagres area to visit Cape St Vincent. Children love a ride in a tuk-tuk!
The bustling tourist resorts of Lagos, Portimao and Albufeira can easily be reached by car. Lagos is a lively resort. Lagos offers many boat rides to watch for dolphins or discover the fascinating coastline. There are amazing four-hour cruises as well as sunset cruises where you will be enthralled by the colours of the sky. Children can try their hand at snorkelling, stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking or play on Lagos’ water trampoline. Kayaking through the surreal beauty of the Algarve’s caves and cliffs is a fantastic day out. For older children, you might want to pre-book a windsurfing course to take advantage of the huge rollers just along from Luz. The Algarve is also an ideal region for hot air balloon flights because of its three hundred days of sunshine and absence of clouds. The flights, which can be booked in Lagos, offer breathtaking views from the air. Lagos Zoo is very popular. There are more than one hundred and fifty species of animals to visit, including flamingoes, monkeys, owls, vultures, hippos, iguanas, meerkats, penguins, crocodiles and chimps. There are feeding times for pelicans, otters, primates and lemurs. It is a modern zoo with a strong emphasis on nature conservation.

Great stay
Great stay. Lovely home. Turnover was good.

Wonderful time!
We had the most wonderful time at the Moradia Concelho. Can only recommend it!

Just perfect
Sarah and David were wonderful hosts and have a truly special house. This was the best house we have stayed in a long time was perfect for our family vacation. The house is beautiful with modern appliances, comfortable beds, great outdoor furnishings including an entire outdoor kitchen, and they have a working farm on the property! Everyday we could see the groundskeeper letting all the animals out for a graze which was awesome. The views speak for themselves. I’ll also say that we brought a 2 and a half year old and she was over the moon with the trampoline, swing and little playhouse on the property. And the beach at Odeceixe which is 10mins away driving is stunning, as is the walk/hike along the coast to that same beach (45mins)..

SPECTACULAR
All good. Seven wonderful days. The children didn't even want to go to the beach. The farm animals and the lunchbox for the end of the day dazzled them. Many walks with beautiful landscapes. Thank you Conceição and Firmino for the attention you gave our little ones.
Those baskets of vegetables, reigned in the cooking. We all miss this paradise. Thank you Leonor for your wonderful work. -
A real paradise
The house has absolutely all the conditions for a fantastic holiday. In addition everything is cared for to the detail and with immense good taste. The outside areas are wonderful and almost make us forget that we are 5 minutes away from some of the best beaches in the country. However, what we really liked the most was the way we were received by Mrs. São, Firmino and Sónia. 5 stars hospitality: availability 24 hours a day, baskets of ecological vegetables every day, and a lot, lot of sympathy, ... For sure, a plan to repeat!
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
