Location
About the surrounding area of Casa PalaceteNestled in the estuary of the River Arade, Casa Palacete graces the enchanting city of Portimão, a destination celebrated for its pristine sandy beaches and warm, tranquil waters, beckoning holidaymakers to a captivating retreat. Portimão, steeped in a rich fishing tradition that burgeoned in the 19th and 20th centuries, unfolds its history through architectural treasures within the historic centre. The streets and squares bear witness to this era, with structures like the award-winning Portimão Museum housed in a meticulously restored cannery, honouring a city that has thrived exclusively by and for the sea.
Explore the simply styled Chapel of São José de Alcalar or marvel at the imposing Church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, a 15th-century gem atop a hill, standing proudly in the city's skyline. As you meander through the city, find respite in the shade of Manuel Bivar Garden or stroll along the lively Marina promenade, where fishing boats and pleasure craft paint a picturesque scene.
After taking in the sights, indulge your taste buds in one of the many waterfront restaurants, where the renowned grilled sardines take centre stage. Portimão's culinary delights include an array of fish and seafood specialities, from clams to bouillabaisse, creating a gastronomic haven for enthusiasts.
Venture 3 kilometres from the city centre to Praia da Rocha, the Algarve's most famous beach, boasting an expansive swath of sand that has graced postcards worldwide since the early 20th century. This bustling seaside resort is complemented by a casino and a plethora of leisure activities, standing witness to its strategic importance in the 15th century.
The Praia da Rocha Fortress, perched atop the beach, provides a panoramic view of the city, river, and sea, especially enchanting in the evening light of the setting sun. Beyond Praia da Rocha, discover a sequence of beaches, each framed by rugged rocks that enhance the coastal landscape. Embark on a boat trip along the coast to unveil hidden beaches and admire striking rock formations, or ascend the River Arade estuary to Silves, encountering green hills and diverse landscapes etched into memory. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a culinary connoisseur, or a nature lover, Portimão's allure, complemented by the exquisite Casa Palacete, promises an unforgettable holiday experience.

THE REGION
Portimão is the largest city in the western Algarve and was traditionally a centre for shipbuilding, sardine fishing and fish processing. Today, most of that industry has been replaced by tourism, leisure and retail, leaving Portimão as a large and residential city. Perhaps the most attractive part of the town is the riverfront which runs from the marina to beyond the road bridge. There are several squares along this stretch, which become increasingly less touristy as you head away from the marina.
Of course, Portimão is probably best known for the fantastic beach of Praia da Rocha. Located about 3 km south of the town, this is one of the most impressive stretches of sand on the Algarve coast. Take a trip up the Rio Arade and explore the local area, or get out and active in the sunshine. Our pick of the best properties to stay in Portimão are perfect bases whether you're simply here for a beach holiday or you plan to explore further afield.
ABOUT THE ALGARVE
Though most people tend to see the Algarve as all about the beaches and a holiday on the Med, there’s far much more to it than that. There’s actually a load of fascinating culture and history, superb cuisine and enthralling adventures to be had, though we’d be the first to admit that the beaches are pretty special too, with lots of sand, spectacle and wonderfully clean water.
But while you’re enjoying one of our fantastic villas in Algarve, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we’ve put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!
