This home in the Algarve caught our eye with its fantastic pool and outdoor area – a great place to soak up the Algarve sun. With two twin rooms, this home is ideal for families with kids or a group of friends travelling together but may be less suitable for a group of couples. We like that several bedrooms have balcony access – great for a nightcap before bed. The nearest beach, Castelo, is just a brief stroll away, while the resort of Albufeira is a short drive.

Home truths:
*While a bedroom and several bathrooms aren't photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home
*This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*Your host can provide a complimentary cot and high chair – this must be requested at the time of booking, and you’ll need to bring your own cot linen
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
