About this property
Alto Club, Alvor. Quiet, comfortable apartment in this acclaimed holiday resort
Luxury two bedroom air-conditioned apartment in the 5 star Alto Country Club, one of the premier resorts in the Algarve. The historic fishing village of Alvor, with a large choice of excellent restaurants and shops, is within easy walking distance as are some of the best beaches in Portugal, notably the famous Praia dos Três Irmãos. Alvor is in reality a suburb of Portimao, the largest city in the western Algarve, and the seaside resorts of Praia da Rocha and Lagos are also nearby offering a wide variety of family entertainment.
The apartment, air-conditioned throughout, is spacious and well appointed and offers guests quality and comfortable accommodation. It has been recently renovated with super-fast Wi-Fi (200 Mb/s), satellite TV, remote controlled shutters, double glazed patio doors, sliding mosquito barriers, wood burning log fire, wall mounted electric radiator panels and a new fully equipped modern kitchen. There is a large outside patio area with comfortable recliner chairs and a dining table for 6 people.
The apartment has underground car parking, and is quietly located centrally within the Alto Club, away from the perimeter road, with virtually its own private secluded south west facing garden just across from the indoor swimming pool. The wider Alto Club gardens have been beautifully landscaped with a stunning array of tropical vegetation, waterfalls and ponds well stocked with Koi carp.
The apartment will appeal to families, couples and golfers alike, who can benefit from a 40% discount on green fees at the nearby par 72 Alto golf course, designed by Sir Henry Cotton and managed by the Pestana Group, on presentation of their resort card.
The Club also has a wide range of on-site facilities including a large outdoor pool and a heated indoor pool with changing rooms and sauna. There is also a fully equipped gymnasium with fitness classes, and two flood-lit tennis courts with free use of rackets and balls. There is also a children's playground and paddling pool. A high chair and cot are available on request from the reception for a small weekly hire charge paid to the Alto Club direct.
There are two recently refurbished restaurants, The Thyme restaurant, which has a full à la carte menu and Thyme Out bar serving poolside drinks and snacks. Both are operated by the highly rated family restaurant Ruccula in central Alvor. The restaurant has received numerous accolades and 5 star reviews which can be found on the internet.
The reception will be happy to arrange car hire, airport transfers, cycle hire, picnic hampers and local excursions etc. There are discounts available to guests in many local restaurants on presentation of an Alto Club guest card, as well as on many of the excursions. A full list is available at reception.
The apartment is registered as an approved rental with the Portuguese Tourist Association and has been inspected to ensure that aspects of safety and hygiene are of the required standard. License No. 25915/AL.

About the host
Hosted by Paul Miller
I am a retired Film and TV Editor. I have invested in holiday properties in both France and Portugal to provide me with a retirement income.
Why they chose this property
My family has been coming to Portugal since the 1960s. Having travelled in many parts of the world I still consider the beaches in the Algarve second to none. The food is excellent and the Portuguese are amongst the friendliest people to be found anywhere. The Alto Club is a special place in a unique setting. After a failed previous management, the Club has been purchased by the freehold owners of its villas and apartments is currently being restored to its previous glory.
What makes this property unique
Alvor has a distinctly Portuguese ambience with traditional whitewashed houses, narrow cobbled streets and working fishing boats moored along the banks of the river. A holiday in Alvor is often focused around the beach, but there are also waterparks, boat tours, nature trails, dolphin watching trips and of course golf courses. The original fish market is still a central focal point where evening events are now staged. Walking back into the village through narrow cobbled streets you may come across the 16th Century Church which boasts one of the most magnificent main doors in the Algarve.
Alvor offers a wide choice of restaurants; from classic Portuguese with their displays of fresh fish to family restaurants catering for the budget conscious. There is a sufficient mix of bars to entertain all age groups.
Alvor's main beach is only 5 minutes walk from the quayside. A long white sandy beach spreading for miles in either direction means you will always find a space of your own. The beach restaurants, lifeguards, facilities and plenty of parking makes the Alvor beach very popular and family friendly.
On the West side of Alvor flows the Ria de Alvor which spills into the lagoon. The boardwalk along the vast estuary and sand dunes make a wonderful walk, offering stunning views and as a protected natural area, teem with wildlife and flora.
Golfers are spoilt for choice with Alto Golf (a short drive away), Palmares, and Penina all designed by Sir Henry Cotton, the latter considered his masterpiece.
Portimão is the main capital town of the area and boasts great shopping. It is also one of the big game centres in the Algarve, offering the chance to catch swordfish, shark and other big fish.
A car is recommended, but not essential. There are always taxis available in the centre of Alvor as well as a bus service into Portimao or Lagos. Alvor is just off the main Algarve motorway which links Spain and Portugal. Faro and the airport is a 45 minute drive away.
