Best Self-Catering Accommodation in Alvor (2020)

My first holiday in the Algarve was spent in Alvor so I have very fond memories of the place. It was a very different then just a small fishing village with few inhabitants. Today it is a favourite with families during the summer season and this is why self-catering accommodation in Alvor is such  a popular option. Many of our followers have asked me for recommendations for accommodation in Alvor, so I’ve put together this list of  the best self-catering accommodation in Alvor.

Alvor is ideal for a relaxing beach holiday, less hectic than many of the other resort towns in the Algarve, but plenty of good restaurants, cafés and bars, a pleasant riverside promenade and a vast sandy beach. If you are considering a holiday to Alvor during the summer season our advice is to book accommodation as soon as possible as the best places to stay in Alvor will sell out quickly.

Albur Village

One and two bedroom apartments just a few minutes walk to the centre of Alvor with restaurants ranging from traditional Portuguese to international dishes. When you are not swimming in the pool relax in the landscaped gardens. We loved the Pingo Doce supermarket next door, how’s that for convenience.
