Many visitors and longer-term residents, regardless of nationality, are eager to find modern inventory in the Algarve. As a historical town, new build or refurbished properties, especially in the town centre, are very difficult to find. Portugal’s NHR program has contributed significantly to the growth of foreign retirees resident in the city. It is when thinking of retirees in the winter and families in the summer, that we think both audiences will enjoy the apartment and what the area has to offer.
