Serviced Apartments in Alvor

Situated on the River Rio Alvor this beautiful little fishing village has plenty to offer the visiting tourist and renting a serviced apartment or holiday letting in Alvor gives you the opportunity to explore your way around this region at your own, leisurely pace.

Sadly, much of the original Moorish architecture was destroyed by an earthquake in 1755 but there are still remnants scattered around the village that are well worth a visit if you know where to look.
The 500 year old Igreja Matris boasts some delightful pillars and archways and along the riverfront you will find some of the original, cobbled streets. This is also a wonderful place to just sit and relax outside one of the beach bars and enjoy a drink whilst you watch the fisherman bringing in their catch. Towards the far end of the promenade you will find some superb restaurants that you might like to check out at some point.

With an Alvor serviced residence or aparthotel access to the beach couldn’t be more convenient. This region’s main beach, Praia de Alvor, boasts soft sands fringed by dunes and an impressive formation of rocks known as Praia de Tres Irmaos.

If you are not sure how to plan your day then Isango can arrange holiday tours for you from a sea safari on a catamaran with a delicious barbecue lunch included, a pirate ship cruise, cave exploring and even dolphin spotting so you certainly won’t be stuck for something to do.

There are plenty of other outdoor activities to try your hand at such as horse riding, canoeing, sailing or perhaps you would prefer a nice wine tasting tour. Alvor Sports Complex provides tennis courts and a swimming pool for those that prefer indoor recreation.

If you want to travel a little further afield then neighbouring Lagos is a wonderful place to visit. Here you will find cobbled streets and a beautiful, historic town centre surrounded by ancient, fortification walls, a great place to spend a few hours.

Your apartment rental in Alvor provides easy access for shopping and in the town you will find plenty of shops scattered around the network of streets. It’s also worth looking out for the local flea markets where you can pick up some great bargains and gifts for home.

For the ideal place to eat that is within easy reach of your Alvor holiday accommodation try Don Tapas tapas and Wine Bar. Here they serve a variety of different tapas, from Portuguese to Spanish to Latin American, prepared with fresh, delicious ingredients and all absolutely scrumptious. The stuffed squid and red pepper bruschetta are divine.
