Portugal is not only about the weather and the beaches, it’s also home to some of the country’s best bird-watching hotspots especially in the Algarve region. Ria Formosa Natural Park stretches from the west of Faro all the way along the coast to Cacela Velha. From marshes to dunes to saltpans and lagoons there are so many different habitats for you to explore. Choose from a range of family villas in Portugal and take the opportunity to spot seahorses and chameleons in their natural environment. With many holiday villas to rent in Portugal, it is the perfect destination for those who enjoy self catering. Head out on a dolphin spotting mission, the Algarve coastline is one of the best areas in the country for spotting dolphins.
Portugal has more than 800km of incredible coastline, so if its beaches you are looking for a beach villa in Portugal would be the perfect place for you. There are some amazing coastal gems throughout Portugal, but the Algarve provides some of the best with its spectacular sea caves and cliff-backed golden beaches, many of which have been awarded Blue Flag status.
We have a great collection of holiday villas in Portugal, especially villas close to the beach which make it that much easier to head to the sand.
Portugal’s incredible coastline means that fresh fish and seafood are served everywhere, but local specialities can vary depending on what region you visit. Across the country you’ll find Bacalhau which is Portugal’s signature salt cod dish, considered a national treasure. When in the Algarve, you must sample the traditional cataplana stew, traditionally cooked in a copper pan. Other regional favourites include Cataplana de Marisco which is basically a seafood extravaganza and Cataplana de Carne de Porco com Amêijoas which is a surf-and-turf mix of pork and clams. Desserts and sweet treats are a big part of the Portuguese culinary scene, but by far the most famous are the 'Pastel De Nata' Portuguese custard tarts, which you can find in most local bakeries.
Book a villa with a private pool and dine out on the traditional cuisine, or cook up a feast on the barbecue at your holiday villa in Portugal.
Portugal enjoys a Mediterranean climate with blue skies and hot sun for the majority of the year.

In the summer months of June, July and August the country hits its peak with daytime temperatures that can reach up to the 30s.
