Situated in the most westerly part of mainland Europe, the Algarve region is already one of the top destinations in the world, a place were luxury and cultural hertage come together. Thousands of expatriates have made this region their permanent home and thousands have purchased a second home and tourists keep coming back year after year.
Pre warned by the Spanish overbuild costa`s, the Algarve is more carefully in planning without losing its character. Long sandy beaches, nature reserves, sandstone cliffs and tiny villages where time stood still, followed by more busy places and luxury resorts like Vilamoura with it`s 5 championship golfcourses and marina, Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago in the Golden Triangle, the upcoming Tavira area and more to the west Carveiro. It is this together with the climate that makes the Algarve a great year-round destination. A place of romantic sunsets, family holidays and a relaxed way to live.

But there is also another side of the Algarve, the Algarve hills, just inland behind the more busy coastline. These hills are becoming more and more popular, where prices for properties and holidays are lower and were the tiny villages are still unspoilt and full of character.
