This is an annexe that was converted in a 4 bedroom house with a private pool and furnished patio for al fresco eating meals cooked in the built in BBQ. It is placed in a quiet location, just 3 minutes walk to the centre of Alvôr with supermarkets and amenities. Tastefully decorated, all bedrooms are modern and 3 of them are on suite shower and have AC, with direct access to the pool terrace (2 twin bedrooms and a double bedroom- one twin bedroom has a direct independent access from the pool terrace).The extra twin bedroom with AC as well. Alvor has a number of good restaurants with acceptable prices. It is a lovely old fishing village that has lately become a popular place for holidays. It offers great food, happy people and great beaches. The beaches are fantastic with rocks, lovely sand and unique waves. It is half an hour’s walk to the nearest golf courses.
The Village: itself is a maze of cobbled streets and shady little squares with lots of lovely bars and cafe's. The originally 16th Century Parish Church was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1755 and still has a good example in its main doorway of the craftsmanship of the Manueline era of architecture. The small village of Abidaca, situated on a slope to the east of Alvor, has traces of a Roman settlement. There are quite a few British ex-pats here but that does not seem to have an affect on the village. The Food The restaurants here are excellent; the quality of the food is way above anywhere else in The Algarve. Make sure you sample the fresh fish, especially the sardines. We ate in a different restaurant every night and were not disappointed once, weather it's the food, the impeccable service or just the décor and restaurant itself, I cannot a think of a single thing to grumble about. Unfortunately our visit here was back in the days before I started to take notice
The fishing village of Alvor is situated on the estuary of the river, Rio Alvor. It is well known in Algarve history because King João II died in there in 1495. Although the earthquake wiped out most of the traditional Moorish village in 1755, you can still see remains of Alvor’s history in places such as the 16th century Igreja Matriz with its beautiful Manueline arches and pillars. Despite steady developments since the dawn of tourism in the 1960s (especially on the eastern side) the buildings are mainly low-rise and the charm of the old town with the narrow cobbled streets leading down to the harbour on the lagoon of the river estuary still remains.

Location was good, restaurants and supermarkets are near by. The annex was well appointed for an adult family of 5. The outside are was nice with a good outside eating/seated area and good seating around the pool.
We had a great week in Alvor as a road cycling trip. Our stay was wonderful with each guest having their own room. Having a pool after our rides to enjoy was very nice. We did find the kitchen fully stocked with glasses, dishes, plates etc however did not have any sugar, salt, pepper that would have been helpful. The location was excellent and very close to a grocery store and lots of restaurants. About a 15 minute walk to a beautiful beach.
The photos dont do it justice it is a lovely villa and has alot of privacy! There is plenty of room for 8 adults with a room and ensuite with its own private entrance which was great for my daughter when sleeping as she wasnt dostribed by other guests. We hosted my sisters wedding morning from this villa and it was perfect! The host is lovely and is quite local to the villa so is there if you ever need her. Thanks so much for the stay.
Lovely villa. Enjoyed our stay very much.Nice big swimming pool which we all enjoyed although it did have some tles on the bottom that needed replacing. Very close to beautiful Alvor so no car needed. Everything in walking distance. Would have liked a mid holiday clean or at least have some cleaning products we could have used. The owner, Lena was very helpful and quick to respond.
Great host and always quick to respond. Very friendly. We had a wonderful stay, great location and outdoor area was perfect. The only downfall for us was the kitchen. The lack of kitchenware for young children and we couldn’t see the oven settings to know if we had the grill or oven on.
Ideal property with a private pool so close to all the amenities, great for all the family. Great welcome from our host and good communication up to the holiday.

Perfect location
We had a wonderful time at casa Joanna in April 2019. The villa has everything you need and is in a fantastic location as it’s only a 5 minute walk to all the bars and restaurants and has two great supermarkets close by. The outside space is perfect for a relaxing break.

Really lovely villa with perfect location close to both restaurants and the beach. The pool-area is very nice with good options both for sun-bathing and reading in the shade.
We will try to get back to this lovely place!
Thank you Helena for you warm reception. Obrigado!
Fabulous stay at Casa Joana. Location perfect, supermarket only a few minutes walk, restaurants and shops all within 10 minute walk. Villa was absolutely perfect, very clean and had everything we needed Children had an absolute ball in the pool. Lena was always available of you needed anything. We will definitely be back!! So sad to be home!!!
Casa Joana has everything you need. Lovely pool and outside space, three bathrooms and a well stocked kitchen area. The location is very residential and quiet, 5 mins walk to town, 15 mins to the beach. Excellent value for money. Our host Lena was so lovely, all the way through from the booking process to the end of our stay. Thank you for a lovely winter sun holiday in Alvor!
This property had all we needed and expected. Lena, the owner, was helpful, attentive and friendly. We ate out on the patio everyday, and only moved indoors at bedtime. A delightful holiday. Thank you Lena

About the host
Hosted by Maria Helena
Hello. My name is Maria Helena. I am a bank retired woman 70 Years old, married with a bank retired man too. We worked in Lisbon all the time. Had our children there. They have grown up and both are married now. We have 4 grandchildren. We like Lisbon but now we prefer the Algarve to live. No stress of the cities. Good sea to visit and to dive. People that think about holidays not about work. So we live now in Alvor – Algarve – Portugal. In the meanwhile we rent our properties. We are very careful with its quality and we love to hear that our clients, had a great holiday. In our accommodation. We are waiting for you too. Lena and Gil
