About this house rental
In order to provide a safe stay for you and your family, we make sure our cleaning standards meet the current needs of travelers. For this reasons we are taking the following actions:
Hand sanitizer and protection mask available in the property upon arrival
Clean all our towels and linen with high temperatures and products that will kill 100% of germs.
Change all our linen and towels after every stay.
Use one good product to disinfect surfaces all around the property.
This is an annexe that was converted in a 4 bedroom house with a private pool and furnished patio for al fresco eating meals cooked in the built in BBQ. It is placed in a quiet location, just 3 minutes walk to the centre of Alvôr with supermarkets and amenities. Tastefully decorated, all bedrooms are modern and 3 of them are on suite shower and have AC, with direct access to the pool terrace (2 twin bedrooms and a double bedroom- one twin bedroom has a direct independent access from the pool terrace).The extra twin bedroom with AC as well.
Alvor has a number of good restaurants with acceptable prices. It is a lovely old fishing village that has lately become a popular place for holidays. It offers great food, happy people and great beaches. The beaches are fantastic with rocks, lovely sand and unique waves. It is half an hour’s walk to the nearest golf courses.
The Village: itself is a maze of cobbled streets and shady little squares with lots of lovely bars and cafe's. The originally 16th Century Parish Church was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1755 and still has a good example in its main doorway of the craftsmanship of the Manueline era of architecture. The small village of Abidaca, situated on a slope to the east of Alvor, has traces of a Roman settlement. There are quite a few British ex-pats here but that does not seem to have an affect on the village.
The Food
The restaurants here are excellent; the quality of the food is way above anywhere else in The Algarve. Make sure you sample the fresh fish, especially the sardines. We ate in a different restaurant every night and were not disappointed once, weather it's the food, the impeccable service or just the décor and restaurant itself, I cannot a think of a single thing to grumble about. Unfortunately our visit here was back in the days before I started to take notice
The fishing village of Alvor is situated on the estuary of the river, Rio Alvor. It is well known in Algarve history because King João II died in there in 1495.
Although the earthquake wiped out most of the traditional Moorish village in 1755, you can still see remains of Alvor’s history in places such as the 16th century Igreja Matriz with its beautiful Manueline arches and pillars.
Despite steady developments since the dawn of tourism in the 1960s (especially on the eastern side) the buildings are mainly low-rise and the charm of the old town with the narrow cobbled streets leading down to the harbour on the lagoon of the river estuary still remains.
SPECIAL OFFER IF YOU STAY FOR 1 MONTH OR MORE FROM NOVEMBER UNTIL END OF MARCH. FROM 850€/MONTH!

Just returned from a great holiday with our grown up children
Had a great time , villa as described , plenty of room
Really enjoyed the outside patio for breakfast and relax time
Excellent location , lots of bars and restaurants nearby . An easy walk to choice of 2 supermarkets so no need for a car
Superb beach within waking distance
Enjoyed the pool , which is larger than most villas we have previously stayed at
All in all a really enjoyable holiday

The property is very tired with most items needing replacement. Sun-beds were broken, the kitchen with very few items to cook for a large group, uncomfortable beds and most importantly it was not clean at all. In a positive the pool is fab (although misssing tiles) and the location of the villa is fab. The owner also feels they can walk into the property anytime without knocking as well as all of the staff, which is far from ideal. As a final point the WiFi is next to useless!
10.0
Fabulous stay at Casa Joana. Location perfect, supermarket only a few minutes walk, restaurants and shops all within 10 minute walk. Villa was absolutely perfect, very clean and had everything we needed Children had an absolute ball in the pool. Lena was always available of you needed anything. We will definitely be back!! So sad to be home!!!

We stayed in June ‘24 for 11 nights - we are a family of 8 with ages ranging from 3 to 79.
This is a wonderful property to stay at for a family or friends group. All on 1 level with 3 decent sized bedrooms and a 4th (twin) which is small. The outside dining / relaxation area by the pool is superb and the pool itself is great - very private and great for adults and kids alike (albeit it’s deep so regular safety precautions must be made with children and any non-swimmers).
The owners live nearby and are very attentive to your needs and deal with any emerging issues promptly and efficiently. Overall highly recommended.
Alvor generally is a superb holiday venue. Superb restaurants and bars and very chilled out … we will be returning (again and again) ! Thank you.

The property was as advertised. We had a couple of issues but when communicated to the owner were resolved immediately, which we appreciated. The accommodation was a bit too tight for 8 ladies.
10.0
Communication before we stayed was great. The villa was spotless when we arrived and all ready to go. It's in a great location, we walked 95% of the time to all the different places we wanted to see.
Pool was lovely to have as the weather was unusually warm, and although cold (it was April) the kids loved it.
Host was discreet but attentive to anything we needed during our stay. All bedrooms were a good size and the outside eating area was dry even when we had a few rain storms.
The supermarket was within walking distance, as was the beach, childrens play ground, all the main strip of restaurants, thenature board walk, the crazy golf places etc.
Couldn't have wished for a better place.
One of the 4 bedrooms is only accessible via the pool area, which was fine for us, but something to be aware of as it did mean we had to remember to bring the front door key to use the kitchen in the night. It had it's own ensuite bathroom so no real need to go back to the main house once you've turned in for the night.
One of the twin rooms also had no direct access to the outside/ pool area which was great for the kids room as we knew they wouldn't be able to stray outdoors and bear the pool during the night.
The washing machine and dish washer added to the easyness of the holiday and we're used well!
Definitely would recommend to everyone

The villa in Alvor was comfortable although a bit tired. The terrace with the large dining table was perfect for all meals and playing games later in the evening. The pool was a lovely bonus. The kitchen was equipped with cooking appliances and a washing machine. Just to note dish detergent, dishwasher soap and spices are not provided. There was plenty of hot water . Lina was very responsive to any questions or concerns and provided extra towels and bathroom tissue easily. She was quick to have a couple of broken items fixed. She was a very kind lady who provided our party with a delicious fruit salad. The villa was well situated in a quiet and safe residential area. It was an easy 8 minute walk to the grocery store and about 17 minutes to the wonderful beach. The town center was easy to get around and had great restaurants, nice cafes and a cute shops. We did do an excursion off the beach, to the Caves of Benagil which we enjoyed and a food tour in Lagos ( get your guide company) which was great. Alvor was perfect for a friends getaway to relax and reconnect.

Casa Joana has everything you need. Lovely pool and outside space, three bathrooms and a well stocked kitchen area. The location is very residential and quiet, 5 mins walk to town, 15 mins to the beach. Excellent value for money. Our host Lena was so lovely, all the way through from the booking process to the end of our stay. Thank you for a lovely winter sun holiday in Alvor!
