NEW FOR 2026
This pretty, typically Algarve-style villa sits in substantial gardens, filled with mature trees and flowering bushes which lend a lovely sense of seclusion. Despite this pleasantly tucked away feeling, guests staying at Casa Margarida also have the huge benefit of a selection of restaurants and a small supermarket within walking distance: a much sought-after combination, and conveniently close to Carvoeiro too.

Casa Margarida has a single story layout, with just three steps down to the pool at the rear of the house. Splashes of bright colour come from the bougainvillea and climbers that clamber and twine around the edge of the veranda, setting the scene for long summer lunches in the shade. Simple barbecues are a stress-free way to self-cater, but if the chef wants a night – or a week – off, there are restaurants within strolling distance (around 500m). The Algarve is famous for its ochre-coloured cliffs, and you can take some wonderful walks along the coast path past the Alfanzina lighthouse which is just a minute or two’s walk away. For beaches, head to Carvalho, Benagil or Vale do Centeanes, or discover the unique coastline by kayak on one of the many guided trips available locally.

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!
