Danni Menzies is helping couple, semi-retired builder Martyn, and prison manager Sharon, find their dream holiday home on the Algarve in Portugal. They first fell in love with the area two years ago on holiday, and now, for their budget of £160,000, they’re looking for a year-round holiday home that all their friends and family can use too. Danni has five fantastic options to show them, but will they love any of them enough to make an offer?
About the area
The main airport in the Algarve is Faro, which takes a little bit under three hours to fly into from the UK. From there it’s just half an hours drive to Vilamoura which is where we will are basing our house hunt. The Algarve is one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations and that’s no surprise – there’s something for everyone along its 125 mile long coastline. Vilamoura – which literally means Moorish Town – is one of the most upmarket towns on the Algarve, known for its golf courses, massive marina and being a destination for the rich and famous – Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has a holiday home here.
