    Fantastic location, lovely big property. Ideal for 4 adults but would have been comfortable enough for 8 sleeping although the sofa is only big enough for 3/4 and dining table had 4 chairs (extra different chairs in bedrooms). Great WiFi, and...

    Rio House Alvor is a comfortable and well located property and the administrators are very helpful and professional to deal with. The house is well equipped, with a TV, Washing Machine, Dishwasher etc. so it is perfect for self-catering purposes.

    Nice city house in central Alvor. As described. We were worried if it was too cold this time of year. But there was heating/a/c in all rooms and though we didnt need heating there's certainly plenty of capacity. Nice and tidy.

    Casa muy completa con espacio suficiente para estar cada uno a su aire. El patio con ping pong es un extra muy guai la verdad. Hay una habitación un poco justa que da a la cocina y a otra habitación. Recomendable 100%

Neighbourhood information

The beloved fishing village of Alvor is nowadays an important tourist center. A fishing village with plenty of good contradictions - simultaneously calm and edgy, Alvor is never boring because there is always what to do and where to go to! Alvor is memorable both in summertime for its beautiful beaches, and during wintertime for its extensive boardwalk with several km, where it is possible while you’re taking a walk or having a morning jog to look at the Alvor’s Beach diverse fauna and flora. The estuary in Alvor is also famous for its clams, razor clams and cockles that are key ingredients in the gourmet dishes in this village. Another “must see” is the previously known as the Albur Castle. Alvor Castle is nowadays a playground that has been restored during the reign of King Dinis, and that dates back to the eight century. To our visitors here’s also a challenge: to find the two main existent marabouts in Alvor and to visit the Divino Salvador Church. There are three beaches worth mentioning in Alvor: the Alvor Beach, the Três Irmãos Beach and the Prainha, famous for their clean sand and blue sea.
