Always dreamed of staying over the winter period in a more southern climate? Get away from the rain and wind, storm and snow and enjoy the mild mediteranean temperatures in pittoresque towns? Being able to be on the beach while others work their … off. Well, what do you need for a carefree, safe and cosy winter stay? What to search for when looking for  a winter sun destination?

“Our first winter stay was an absolute success! We cannot wait for the next cold period to come…. hahaha!”

Nowadays every year more and more people are choosing to avoid the gry skies, escape the winter blues and take off to sunny southern locations. “Overwintering” is not a new phenomenon, after all many years ago the rich and famous went on holiday in Cannes and St. Tropez during autumn and winter. In these modern times everyone can enjoy and arrange a delightful winter escape with plenty of opportunity for sunbathing, shopping, daytrips, dining, discovering typical regional handicrafts and local markets,…

There must be 100 reasons to visit the mild sunny climat of the Algarve, which one is YOUR reason?

  3. reduce joint pain
  4. just to be able to sit outside
  5. escape from the eternal gray clouds
  6. nice to be outside during the long winter evenings
  7. Just … miss the sun!
  8. enjoy sitting in the sun near the pool ….. fabulous!
  9. away from the crowds, stress, traffic jams
  10. just had enough of the flat everyday landscape
  11. to see something differently than just bricks, concrete and glass
  12. enjoy clean air

  14. to experience another New Year’s Eve
  15. fleeing for Carnival
  16. a while without visits of children and grandchildren
  17. fill in your own reason here ……………………..

  • am I being left alone in my apartment or can I go to somebody if I want some information, tips or to solve a problem?
  • how and how far is healthcare if I might need it?
  • I don’t speak Portugees, is that a problem?
  • I hate all kind of insects, how is that in the apartment?
