Just three minutes from the beach, make yourself at home in this stylish two-bed apartment with views over Armação de Pêra. Relax on the large private terrace before sauntering down to the Algarve's famous coastline, where bone-white beaches and translucent turquoise waters await. In between dips in the Atlantic Ocean, dine at the local restaurants serving fresh Portuguese cuisine. This resort town is a real mix of old and new, so make sure you seek out the cobbled streets and traditional buildings that make up the 'old village'. Come evening, head to Albufeira – just twenty minutes away – and experience the buzzy cocktail bars and outdoor clubs that award the city its nightlife reputation. If you prefer quieter nights in, relax at home in the comfy living room and watch your favourite Netflix series on the fifty-five inch TV. The kitchen comes equipped with everything you'll need to prepare a Portuguese meal. Eat on the terrace in the last of the day's heat before retreating to your restful bedroom.
