Why they chose this property
I first came to Portugal with my parents in 1976. They have returned to the Algarve every year since but I only re-discovered the delights of this region on a return visit in 2009. My wife and I loved it so much we bought this property in 2011 and visit several times a year to relax and get some sun.
