Location
About the surrounding area of Villa ValinhosVilla Valinhos is located just under 15 minutes away from the centre of Alvor, a region packed full of alluring history and fascinating tourist attractions. One of the area’s most significant landmarks is Alvor Castle, which is situated around 15 minutes away from the villa. First constructed by the Moors, this castle suffered an immense ambush back in 1189. During this turmoil, many armies from Denmark and Germany merged to overtake the Moorish population. The castle was even victim to an earthquake in 1755 but still managed to maintain a plethora of its original structures. Guests must examine every element of this monument as a way to discover more about the Moors and how their immense architecture still upholds its legacy in the modern day.
Igreja Matriz de Alvor, also referred to as Mother Church of Alvor, this church works to express the immense religious legacy seen throughout this vibrant area. The exterior of this building is characterised by its tremendous white-washed walls with gold accents, giving the entire church a grandiose sense of elegance and charm. Inside, it is home to a vast accent wall that depicts the regal nature of Our Lady. It is also believed that these tiles were once found on a beach and were placed outside of the altar by local fishermen. In turn, this is a fantastic landmark to visit if you are eager to experience the wonders of art and religion in one unique location. Igreja Matriz de Alvor can be found around 20 minutes away from Villa Valinhos.
This region is also celebrated for its wide array of amazing beaches, such as the remarkable Submarino Beach. Although this beach can only be accessed via a steep hike, the journey is well worth the amazing views that are expressed here. Complete with an abundance of crystal-clear water and endless stretches of soft golden sand; this is an unmissable attraction for those looking to step away from the stressors of normal life and reconnect with the immense wonders of nature. This beach is also encircled by looming cliffs that help to add another layer of awe and inspiration. Submarino Beach is based just under half an hour away from the villa.

THE REGION
Portimão is the largest city in the western Algarve and was traditionally a centre for shipbuilding, sardine fishing and fish processing. Today, most of that industry has been replaced by tourism, leisure and retail, leaving Portimão as a large and residential city. Perhaps the most attractive part of the town is the riverfront which runs from the marina to beyond the road bridge. There are several squares along this stretch, which become increasingly less touristy as you head away from the marina.
Of course, Portimão is probably best known for the fantastic beach of Praia da Rocha. Located about 3 km south of the town, this is one of the most impressive stretches of sand on the Algarve coast. Take a trip up the Rio Arade and explore the local area, or get out and active in the sunshine. Our pick of the best properties to stay in Portimão are perfect bases whether you're simply here for a beach holiday or you plan to explore further afield.
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!

If you are travelling with children with adventurous appetites, you must try Portugal’s national dish, Bacalhau.

Guests can try this dish in a range of local restaurants, giving them the prime opportunity to indulge in a mouth-watering meal as they continue to soak up the charming native atmosphere.
Serra de Monchique, also translated as the Monchique Mountains, is an immense landmark that allows guests to explore the nuances of the area’s natural landscapes. Throughout this hike, guests will travel across these mountains, taking in the divine and moving sights and smell that surround them. As a result, this is a fantastic activity for those who are eager to complete an adventurous sightseeing tour with a twist. If you find walking particularly difficult, guests can also explore this journey via a segway, allowing them to discover the elements from an entirely new perspective. Serra de Monchique is situated just over half an hour away from Villa Valinhos.
