The fully equipped, open plan kitchen-dining room is a sun-filled social area with a south-facing balcony or veranda and partial sea view (1st floor).

Outside, the refreshing swimming pool and sun terrace enjoy a fine degree of privacy, with a barbecue for dining al fresco on those long Algarve summer evenings.

Beside the quaint little harbour, open air restaurants, the river estuary, and the magnificent Alvor Beach are a little over 1km from these superb Algarve holiday apartments. The lively resort of Praia da Rocha is just 5 km away as well as the port town of Portimão.


Casa São Pedro, Alvor
Casa São Pedro stands on a peaceful residential avenue within an easy 300 metre stroll of the bustling centre of Alvor village. Popular restaurants and lively family bars line the narrow streets mingling with small shops and pavement cafés amidst traces of Alvor’s historic past in the form of the 16th century church.

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 Manuelin era.

Wir hatten 3 wunderbare Wochen in diesem Apartment. Maria ist super lieb und hilfsbereit. Der Pool lädt jeder Zeit zum Baden ein. Es gibt absolut nix auszusetzen. Alvor ist ein toller Ort mit viel Ruhe, aber auch lebhaften Abenden, tolle Strände und Natur. Wir werden immer wieder kommen Vielen Dank

We enjoyed our time
We have spent 2,5 Weeks at Maria’s House. We had a very good time. The surrounding was perfect for us and Maria was a very polite and gentle host. We found everything what we needed in the condo. Pool was great and always clean. Thump up.

Gorgeous Apartment in Alvor
We visited this lovely apartment in Alvor as 3 older female friends in September and had a fabulous time. Maria is the perfect hostess and communication prior to our arrival was really helpful and Maria was really friendly and welcoming on our arrival. The apartment was huge, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The lovely sea view from the lounge balcony was a real bonus and the pool area was really well proportioned with the pool being plenty big enough for larger family groups. The location is great being about 5 mins walk from the centre of Alvor with a little further to the beach. There are 2 supermarkets within a few mins walk which were reasonable and had plenty of choice. Overall a very relaxing stay and we can’t wait to return.

Ein tolles Haus mit toller Lage. Jedes Zimmer hat eine Klimaanlage die super funktioniert. Pool und Außenbereich waren super schön. Der Balkon war leider für 6 Leute ein bisschen zu klein und die Sauberkeit war nicht ganz so toll. Was jedoch positiv war, war das wir in der Mitte von unserem Urlaub neue Handtücher und Bettdecken bekommen haben und einmal durchgeputzt wurde. Maria war super hilfsbereit und nett. Es war ein toller und super schöner Urlaub!

Great location
Great apartment, great location and great host. Apartment is just as listed on website. In a quiet residential road but within easy stroll to Alvor centre, beach and supermarkets. We had use of pool to ourselves as other residents in apartment above us did not use the pool. Well maintained pool, cleaned everyday and is a good size. Much needed after a hot sunny day. We were met on arrival by Helena and were shown around property, which is large and well equipped, and she arrived at door after a few days to change bedding and towels - much appreciated. We can not fault the property at all and would not hesitate to stay again, hopefully soon. Thank you again for welcoming us to your apartment

Espaçoso e ótima localização
Propriedade bem localizada, perto do centro e relativamente perto de praias e outros serviços, mal pegamos no carro. O Apartamento é espaçoso e fizemos a maioria das refeições no apartamento. A Sr. Helena foi sempre muito atenciosa no que precisávamos. A piscina foi ótima para os dias mais ventosos de praia!!

Ideal for families, fantastic location.
My family and I stayed in this property for a week. Our party was 4 adults and 2 children, being a baby and a toddler. The property was ideal for us as it was centrally located, as well as being a short walk to the beach. The property boasts ample space and was very clean and well equipped, including a washing machine, dishwasher and microwave, which was perfect for our young family. We had exclusive use of the pool for the week which our 3 year old loved, though do note it is quite deep (approx 2 metres or more) at one end. The property owner stays below the property and was extremely helpful. We had a small (self-inflicted) problem with the lock at the property and this was immediately resolved. We had a great holiday at this property and can’t wait to return. I would highly recommend it.

Fantastic holiday
Just back from 2 week stay. Lena is a brilliant host, always on hand if needed but never intrusive. Alvor is lovely little town with lots going on only a few minutes walk away but the apartment was very peaceful. Really nice beach is about 10-15 min walk away and there are also nice beaches with an inflatable obstacle course about 5 mins drive away at Priara de Rocha. The kids loved the pool and overall a great holiday.

Wonderful location, extremely welcoming host and very comfortable beds.
We really loved our stay at Lena's apartment. She greeted us with a big smile late at night and made us feel very welcome. The apartment is ideally located and very spacious. There was everything you could need in the kitchen which was great as we love to cook. We did make use of the BBQ and cooked fish from the local market. We slept so well as the beds were very comfortable. We hope to return again to Lena's apartment agin in the future. Thank you Lena

lovely spacious villa - plenty of room for 6 adults
we were a party of 6 adults staying for a week at this lovely villa. The villa was so convenient to the centre of Alvor - a lovely 10 min stroll and the beautiful Alvor beach a further 5 mins walk away. the location of the villa meant that we never had to avail of taxis! All in all a great holiday

Perfectly positioned Villa in Alvor
We booked this Villa after viewing many others in Alvor. We thought this was the best Villa available & we were not disappointed. Lena & Gil were fantastic hosts & were always keen to help us have a great time. The Villa is in walking distance of the local supermarket & the lovely Village of Alvor. The newly refurbished bathrooms were a joy to use & having 2 balconies we could be in the sun & out of any wind. We were so impressed, we have booked to return next year. An earlier review mentioned dogs next door but we didn't see or hear any evidence of this.

About the host

Hosted by Maria Helena

Host profile image
Hello. My name is Maria Helena. I am a bank retired woman 70 Years old, married with a bank retired man too. We worked in Lisbon all the time. Had our children there. They have grown up and both are married now. We have 4 grandchildren. We like Lisbon but now we prefer the Algarve to live. No stress of the cities. Good sea to visit and to dive. People that think about holidays not about work. So we live now in Alvor – Algarve – Portugal. In the meanwhile we rent our properties. We are very careful with its quality and we love to hear that our clients, had a great holiday. In our accommodation. We are waiting for you too. Lena and Gil
