Casa do Pátio was the perfect base for our first visit to the Algarve. We were two families travelling together, with children aged 10–12, and the villa worked brilliantly for all of us. It is spacious, beautifully presented and very comfortable,..."

NEW FOR 2026
Our hand-picked Portugal programme is full of nice surprises, and this stunning contemporary villa for eight is definitely not what we expected to find in amongst the carob, almond and olive trees of the Boliqueime countryside. Casa do Patio is chic, unique and a tiny bit quirky, with top marks for style plus restaurants within walking distance and easy access to golf courses and the coast. Its style and location make it particularly suitable for adult parties or families with older children.
NEW FOR 2026
Our hand-picked Portugal programme is full of nice surprises, and this stunning contemporary villa for eight is definitely not what we expected to find in amongst the carob, almond and olive trees of the Boliqueime countryside. Casa do Patio is chic, unique and a tiny bit quirky, with top marks for style plus restaurants within walking distance and easy access to golf courses and the coast. Its style and location make it particularly suitable for adult parties or families with older children.
From the outside, this pristine white house is all clean lines and sharp angles, softened by lush, Mediterranean-style walled gardens that sit below the pool. With peaceful countryside views, this is a splendid spot for sunworshippers all day long, and it’s even more magnificent as dusk falls and the pool becomes a mirror reflecting all the magical lights and colours of evening. Vast expanses of sliding glass sit front and back, open to a shaded inner courtyard on one side, and the pool on the other, with a further terrace up on the roof for distant sea views.
In contrast to the minimalist exterior, the décor inside feels soft and inviting, setting soft rugs and pretty florals against a pared-back framework of exposed concrete and natural wood. Three of the four bedrooms are accessed from the inner courtyard, offering an extra sense of privacy for a family with teens or an adult group, with plenty of social spaces when you all want to get together. And while Boliqueime doesn’t offer any wild nightlife, it is walkable in just seven minutes, giving teens the freedom to come and go under their own steam.
Boliqueime is a typical small town with whitewashed houses and traditional restaurants, making this an excellent base if you want a more authentic and uncrowded Algarve holiday, and there’s wonderful walking countryside all around if you’re here during the cooler months. It’s also an easy option when you want to combine coast and country, just a 15 to 20 minute drive from some of the best beaches on the whole of the Algarve.
Good to know:
The infinity edge of the pool is unfenced; children must be supervised at all times. For safety reasons, the roof terrace is out of bounds to children under 12.

Algarve holidays promise a wealth of different experiences and landscapes, whether you choose a private villa or a hotel as your base.
Portugal’s most southerly region boasts an iconic and instantly recognisable coastline of fine sandy beaches backed by ochre-yellow cliffs, sea stacks and rock archways that stand testament to the power of nature. Inland, there are rolling hills dotted with citrus and olive groves, plus crumbling castles, mountain villages and walking paths to explore. The Algarve is unique in enjoying an Atlantic coast with a Mediterranean climate, attracting not just holidaymakers but also a wide variety of birdlife that flocks to the Ria Formosa Natural Park.
And despite its long term popularity as a villa holiday destination, the Algarve has retained pockets of real character in its old towns and regional capital Faro, where you can still eat well relatively inexpensively. Portuguese cuisine is in our view one of the most underrated in Europe, so prepare to be deliciously surprised by fresh fish, hearty stews, sweet pastries and of course, world-renowned wines: saúde!
