Location description
Just on the outskirts of Alvor Village, the complex is in a wonderful location, making it near all the amenities of the village, yet also close to the beach. It is a quieter location than the bustling nearby town of Portimao, which also offers many attractions & excellent shopping. There is a taxi rank in the village, or you could take the bus from opposite the entrance gates. Everything is so accessible.
Other activities
The waterparks are very popular, as are the zoos. There are "Pirate Ship" sailings from the beach, Jeep safaris and historical tours available. The Monchique Mountains offer a breath of fresh air on the really hot days, and where in season, you can pick tree strawberries & mimosa.
Local events
Plenty of festivals and events, the reception staff, will happily give you information & brochures. There is an Anglican church service in the town of Lagoa. Do collect a copy of The Portugal News free at the airport & some supermarkets, for details of available TV programmes, local news & current events.
Tourist attractions
Wonderful historical architecture, traditional markets & flea markets. Many tours available with local departure. For those who like to quaff, a visit or two, to a local winery is a must.
Directions
From Faro Airport, there are two possible routes. You can take the A22 toll road which takes about 45 minutes (if you hire a car & collect it from the airport, they will issue you with a transponder and you will pay the car hire company for the tariffs you receive). Or you can also take the toll-free N125 which takes a little longer but is a more interesting route. Both of these roads have destination Portimao, then take side roads to well sign-posted Alvor. The Alto Club is situated on the edge of the village, opposite the Pestana Alvor Park Hotel. From the vehicular entrance, our apartment is the first block on the right, Reception is almost opposite, and our front door is around the corner, with a sign "Tidings" 40C. We are happy to recommend & even book your car hire for you.

Deposit/Booking Notes
The small print.
Bookings are generally made for Saturday to Saturday, but we can often be flexible over this, to allow our guests to avail themselves of cheaper flights. Realistically, we cannot offer stays of less than 3 days, and these stays may attract a small surcharge. A 20% deposit is required to secure the booking. This is not normally refundable, except where we can re-book the same period, then it may be subject to a discount. Balance due at 8 weeks before departure.
All payments will be acknowledged. We regret that we do not have credit card facilities. Occasionally we can offer a discounted rate, particularly for returning guests, cancellation fillers, early bird bookings and last minute bookings. Our tariff is for the whole apartment, i.e. sleeps 4, and extra beds & cots may be hired for you, as required.
