General Comments
We stayed at the Alto Golf and Country Club - Alto Vau apartments in Alvor Portugal in October. the weather was amazing, just like an English summer's day. The privately owned apartment was very smart, yet homely and there was a lovely pool. At this time of year there were hardly any people in the apartments, just one or two owners spending a few weeks out there - lucky them.



We had only a week, but it extended the summer and was very good value.



We have already recommended the place and the tour operator (independent villas) to our friends. However, we think it is a bit of a hidden secret out of season and would not like to see it get too popular! You do need a car to get about although there were bars and restaurants nearby and the beach was around 10 mins walk.



Alvor has a wide choice of restaurants and is typically Portugese, but is a 10 minute drive away. The new road has opened up this area. It only took us 40 min from Faro.



We'll be back next year for a fortnight at least.
