You will find lots of options for self catering on ownersdirect.com or holidaylettings.com. maybe try hotel/aparthotel in Alvor. I hear it's very nice.Have booked flights to Portugal for the 4th to 11th of august for 2 adults and 2 kids aged 10 and 12. Want to book an apartment somewhere suitable for families and not too expensive. Any suggestions on where/how to book?
