Guesthouse stays in Algarve

Small, independent places to stay that are worth planning a journey around.

Every property here is chosen editorially. Inclusion is never sold, and no property can pay to appear, to rank higher, or to be described more warmly than another.

Each entry carries the date its details were last confirmed against the property's own website, so you can judge for yourself how current the information is — and, where something could not be confirmed, we say so on the property's page rather than quietly leaving it out.
