Justin Says...Hand-picked villas with their own private pool for that extra holiday treat. All of the villas in our collection are visited & vetted by at least one of the Alternative Portugal team. We've chosen destinations on the west coast of Portugal away from the crowded Algarve. Great beaches, authentic towns and resorts, wonderful cuisine and friendly people - in Real Portugal. Villa with a heated pool? A sea view? Perfect for young families? On a resort or complex? We can help - call one of the Alternative Portugal team for guidance.
Justin Says...Private pool doesn't have to mean expensive - not with our choice of Best Value Villas In Portugal. This selection of villas with pools can all be rented for around (and sometimes less than) £2000/wk in peak season. Situated on the authentic and less-well-known Silver Coast, you'll find it's not just the accommodation that's better value but eating out too. We've visited & vetted all of the villas in our collection so give us a call for some advice...
Justin Says...Authentic Portugal Holidays can easily be found if you head for the Silver Coast or drive an hour west from Faro airport. Avoid the crowded Algarve and experience Real Portugal - authentic seaside resorts loved by the Portuguese. Rent your own villa with a pool or stay on a small complex with a shared pool. You'll never be far from a stunning beach. Call us for advice and speak to someone who's been there...

View AllWe've been visiting Portugal for many years. We adore the country and its people and have no hesitation in recommending it as a holiday destination. Yet we still come across some popular misconceptions about Portugal…
