NEW FOR 2026
Seductively curvy, even down to the circular swimming pool, Monte dos Vendavais near Luz is a great base when you’re looking for a few little luxury touches to upgrade your Algarve holiday experience. The house has been cherished by the same family for many years, and was recently fully renovated. The result is stylish bathrooms and a large contemporary kitchen, complemented by elegant bedrooms that are still charmingly Algarvian, and a light-filled living-dining area which opens onto the pool area.

You can happily install yourselves here on the enviably private terrace for a very indulgent week or two with everything you need to hand. There’s an excellent shaded barbecue kitchen with dining table, plus more lounge-style seating when you just want to chat over a chilled Sagres beer or a glass of local wine. The terrace encircles the pool, and beyond that are lawns for the kids (or grown-ups!) to play on. The Algarve is a celebrated tennis destination much favoured by the professionals for winter training, and while it’s not quite the championship standard that Murray and co might be used to, the private court at the villa is great fun for recreational play. For shops, restaurants, beaches, coastal walks and a laid-back holiday atmosphere, the small town of Luz is just 2km away.

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!
