Location
About the surrounding area of Casa MontinhoBeautiful Albufeira (30 minute drive) is one of the most popular seasid resort towns in the Algarve. The Old Town with its fascinating history and Moorish-inspired architecture is a certainly worth checking out, especially the square known as Largo Engenheiro Duarte Pacheco. The square and its surrounding streets are brimming with restaurants, cafes, bars, and independent shops. Something fun to check out is the Albufeira Tunnel, which connects the Old town to the main beach.
From the Old Town there are two other interesting sights, including the Old Fisherman’s neighbourhood overlooking the sea at Praia Pescadores, and the beach at Peneco, which can be reached for an impressive glass elevator. Albufeira is also happy to oblige those who are looking for a taste of local nightlife. A street lined with restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, and known as The Strip, is brimming with bright neon lights and excitement into the early hours of the morning.
The various beaches of Albufeira, including Praia do Tunel, Praia do Peneco, Praia Pescadores, and Praia dos Alemaes (where the villa is located), may all bear different names but are actually all connected in one giant, white-sand beach ideal for swimming and long walks by the sea.
One of the best things to do anywhere along the Algarve coastline is a scenic boat tour. There’s a variety of tours, from sightseeing ventures to see the stunning coastal cliffs and caves (with the famous Benagil Cave as the sure highlight). But there are also dolphin watching tours and water sports adventures such as parasailing, jet skiing, kayaking or paddle boarding.

THE REGION
Vilamoura has been a glamorous town ever since Roman time. Its rich history is still palpable as you walk its streets, coming upon Roman Baths and ancient murals all around town. These days, Vilamoura is still a high-class destination although it has certainly kept up with the times. Yachts dock at the large marina and travellers galavant the seaside strip hopping between bars, restaurants and the dazzling casino.
The local championship courses naturally attract a crowd of golf enthusiasts as well, and there is a large selection of other sports to enjoy in the area (including those best played out in the water). There is certainly no need to ever be bored in Vilamoura, but if it’s ultimate relaxation you’re after you won’t be disappointed. The town is alluringly close to Praia da Marina and Praia de Falesia, where the golden sand and hot Mediterranean sun is just about never-ending.
