Algarve

Hello!

I am looking for a place to stay in the Algarve region (or nearby) with the following criteria:

  • Mountain view
  • Pool
  • Within half hour or less of the ocean
  • Can house 10+ people

Does such a place exist?

Are pools open in February in southern Portugal?

We visited the Algarve once in February. Stayed in a couple of different apartments. It was horrible. Everything was shut down, the stuff that wasn't was very tacky (made for Dutch and English tourists) and all I smelled was mold. As for a pool - do you think you could swim in February? No way.

I'd go somewhere else, honestly. I know that isn't the feedback you are really looking for, but it was truly our worst vacation ever and I'm just trying to help someone else.
