One of the things I love most about Portugal is its simple, understated beauty that can be found wherever you go. Today we explored Alte, a charming little village just a 40 minute drive from Carvoeiro. On a Sunday afternoon in January, it appears, at first, to to be just a sleepy little village with not much to see. But if you take a moment and explore the nooks and crannies and windy cobbled streets you’ll find hidden gems around every corner. A lovely traditional village that’s well worth a visit ❤️

The stunning ‘Camino dos Promontorios’ (Trail of the headlands) from Carvoeiro to Ferragudo. Not for the faint hearted but absolutely stunning and well worth the achy legs 😅

It’s so lovely to read messages like this in our guest book. We totally agree. Carvoeiro is a special place and one visit is never enough 😍

Just a 40 minute drive from Carvoeiro is the charming village of Burgau. With its cute cobbled streets, quirky little shops and lovely beach it’s a favourite for surfers and a lovely day out. A gorgeous little gem not to be missed 💕

Just a short 15 minute drive from Carvoeiro is the beautiful town of Silves. Learn some of its history at Silves castle at the top of the town and enjoy far reaching views over the countryside, then take a stroll along the cobbled streets enjoying the unique buildings, shops and cafe’s followed by tapas and Sangria at our favourite ‘not so’ secret cafe. Perfect ❤️
