About My Area
Description
Description
My house is a recently renovated little village house in the Algarve. It has one double bedroom and a small office room. Open plan living/kitchen. Two shower rooms. And an amazing outdoor space, terrace overlooking the red-roofs of the village and down to the sea about 5 km away as the crow flies.
Distance to village or town?
It's in a small village with a couple of little grocery shops, market, café/bar and bakery, but it's 5km to Portimão, 11km to Lagos. Ideally you would need a car. It's also about 10-15 mins drive to the beautiful beach in Alvor and to Meia Praia beach.
Access to public transport
Buses in village, but not super frequent. 20 min walk to trains that run approx hourly. Car is better!
What I like most about my neighbourhood is ...
It's authentically Portuguese despite being in the touristy Algarve and only minutes away from the beaches. Beautiful views in an unexpected corner of the Algarve
Here is one thing I think first time visitors to my area should see / do:
Walk in the Cork tree forest and orange groves at the back of the village, walk round the local nature reserve (Ria de Alvor)

Hi, I am Alison
Hi, I'm Alison, a translator originally from the UK. During Covid/Brexit, I chose a home base in Portugal and now have a small rescue dog (who ideally I'd like to travel with!) I've house/pet sat before, mostly in Australia. I am a "former" digital nomad, though I still find myself travelling and working online as I go, just not quite as far afield as I used to! In my free time I like to read, hike, SUP, do pottery, catch up with friends and go to the cinema.
