As the weather of summer 2010 has not been consistently good in Northern Europe, you might have been thinking of a holiday in Southern Europe. If that’s how you feel why not consider visiting Albufeira in Algarve, a well-known travel destination in Portugal. Albufeira is located in central Algarve, which forms the southern most part of Portugal. The word Algarve has originated from the Arabic word ‘the west’. The name of the city of Albufeira, also comes from an Arabic word meaning ‘lagoon’, even if today the word ‘beach’ would seem more synonymous to visitors to Albufeira!! Algarve Portugal has a very rich history that dates back to the Phoenicians and many great civilizations have enjoyed the ideal location of Albufeira, including but not limited to the Roman, the Visigoths or the Moors.

Proof of this great history lies in the national symbol of Portugal. If you have closely observed the Portugal flag, you might have noticed that seven forts are represented on it. One of these seven forts, the Paderne Castle, is actually located eight kilometers away from Albufeira in Algarve. The fort in Algarve Portugal dates back to the middle or late 12th century at the time of the Moors occupation and is thought to have been abandoned in the 16th century. While nowadays the Algarve and Albufeira are more well-known known for their historic villas, beach houses and even modern apartments, the value of this fort was actually strategic. It, indeed, controlled an ancient Roman road known as “Via Lusitanorum”.

Whilst the Algarve region offers many opportunities for fans of history, those in search of beautiful landscapes won’t be disappointed! The magnificent hues of the sea and sky in Albufeira Portugal, the shimmering golden sands, the stunning rocky cliffs that line the Algarve coast would be enough to sweep anyone off their feet!!

Albufeira and the remaining region of Algarve in Portugal are best explored by living in a villa, cottage or beach house, as most of them are located very close to the seaside. In addition, you will be able to experience the traditional Portuguese way of life, which is deep rooted in folk culture. If you prefer the comforts or an ultra luxurious life, you could rent a luxury villa in Algarve Portugal with a private pool and many other special facilities. The advantages of renting a villa directly from a local Portuguese owner are that you will learn many handy tips about getting around in Albufeira or the Algarve region and a bite size about the history of your accommodation in Portugal.

House owners are kind to offer recommendations about holiday tour packages, flights, transfers or any other practical advice you may wish to seek during your Portugal holidays. You can enjoy flexible dates for your holiday, and even extend it easily if required, easily avoiding the strict check out timings of resorts or hotels in Portugal. Undoubtedly, no other Portuguese hotel experience could match the thrill or exotic charm of staying in a villa or beach house in Algarve Portugal! Usually this is the way most travellers choose to explore Portugal in its true colour.

The Algarve coast line to the South of Portugal is around 150 kilometres long and is completely dotted with many beauties. Albufeira and other regions along the Algarve Portugal coast, such as Lagos which is a short 60 kilometres drive away, are home to the most beautiful limestone caves and grottoes.

Outdoor activity enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice with numerous picturesque beaches and beach villas, excellent golf courses and golf holiday rentals. Particularly, if you are looking to rent a beach house in Algarve Portugal, you can think about renting a beach house that is customised to suit your needs. A beach house in Algarve Portugal can easily provide you internet connectivity, a heated pool, multiple rooms if you are thinking of inviting friends or extended family, bicycles and other useful household items, basically everything to make your stay in Portugal most comfortable. If you are thinking about Portugal for a memorable honeymoon to spend private time with your partner, then a cosy intimate apartment rental for two might be a more appropriate option.

Albufeira Algarve is also well known by athletes, as high profile runners attend the Almond Blossom Cross Country race that takes place during the spring season. Finally, for those in search of a more festive break in Albufeira, Algarve Portugal, there are a host of options, notably a good concentration of night spots in what is known at ‘The Strip’. Portugal has a bustling night life, and is a great place to unwind and let your hair down, after a busy and stressful life!!
