Ask a villa expert - We get Adam's Recommendations

This month we interviewed our very knowledgeable villa specialist, Adam on his favourite Sun-hat destinations and recommendations when on a villa holiday. We asked Adam about his favourite destination, including his tips on where to go, where to eat out and go for a drink and why staying in a villa is the best way to spend a holiday.  

Here's what he said...

Question: Where’s your favourite place/region to stay in the Algarve and why?

Adam: Vale do Lobo because it is a family friendly safe haven with lots of bars and restaurants on the beach and plenty of golf courses to choose from. You’re also a short drive from Vilamoura if you’re wanting more of a city vibe or to visit the marina. 

Question: Where’s your favourite place to eat out in the Algarve and why?

Adam: Marufo’s in Quarteira, the peri peri chicken is excellent. 

Question: Where would you say is the best place to go for an evening drink or fancy cocktail in the Algarve?
