Hotel Riomar

The majority of rooms have balconies, some with a lovely ocean view, but the hotel’s draw is its central position, in the heart of Lagos. The major historical attractions are less than a 10-minute walk away, as are the shops and some great restaurants.
Hotel Vila Galé Albacora

Converted from former fishermen’s houses, the hotel has a chapel and museum incorporated into its structure. Most rooms have views of Ria Formosa. Courtesy boat transport is offered to nearby Tavira island.
International Rentals

An attractive website listing a number of farmhouses typical of rural Algarve. The directory also includes private guest-houses in the region.
Le Meridien Dona Filipa

This five-star hotel owns the magnificent San Lorenzo course. Priority of play at this par 72 scenic masterpiece is given to hotel guests.
Le Meridien Dona Filipa

Situated in the grounds of the exclusive Vale do Lobo resort, the Dona Filipa is well-situated for the Royal golf course, Ocean course and the San Lorenzo. A first-class tennis academy is also close by.
Le Meridien Penina Golf & Resort

Guests of this five-star resort have the privileged use of the 18-hole Championship layout (Premier Golf Courses), which has hosted the Portuguese Open several times. There are a couple of 9-hole courses too. See Holiday Golf Courses.
Le Meridien Penina Golf & Resort

Surrounded by verdant woodland, the Penina has an 18-hole championship golf course (Premier Golf Courses) and a further two nine-hole courses. Four restaurants, horse riding, water sports and a health centre complete the package.
Loulé Jardim

Refurbished to an early 20th-century design, the beige-and-cream façade faces a quiet park in the centre of Loulé. The town’s castle and Saturday market are both within easy reach, and the rooftop pool is a bonus.
Monte do Casal

Delightfully secluded in the countryside near Estói, the suites of this converted farmhouse overlook gardens of bougainvillea and swaying palms. The proprietor/chef trained at London’s hotels, and the menu is a hallmark of this special retreat.
Monte Rosa

A splendid old farm complex nestling in the heart of the countryside. An informal atmosphere pervades the rooms and apartments. Dinner can be arranged, and there’s a minimum two-day stay. (Camping also available.)
