Where you’ll be 

Casa Solway is located in a quiet and residential neighbourhood, just 800 meters from the stunning Praia do Alemão—one of the Algarve’s hidden gems, known for its golden sand and dramatic rock formations.

With both Alvor and Portimão just a short drive away, guests have easy access to a wide variety of attractions, beaches, restaurants, cafés, and supermarkets. Whether you're looking for local seafood, traditional markets, or lively marina strolls, everything you need is within reach.

The apartment is ideally positioned for exploring the Western Algarve, and it’s just a one-hour drive from Faro International Airport, making it convenient for both short breaks and longer stays. This peaceful yet central location makes Casa Solway an excellent base for enjoying both relaxation and adventure in southern Portugal.
