Western Algarve · Burgau · Portugal
A two-bedroom apartment above the village, with sea views, a shared pool, and the beach eight minutes down the hill.
A private apartment above Burgau
Casa Solaris sits in Aromas 2, a quiet development on the edge of Burgau — one of the last unhurried villages on the Western Algarve.
It is a ground-floor home for up to five: two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room with a fireplace, and a terrace that catches the afternoon sun. Protected by the Costa Vicentina natural park, the coast here stays unbuilt and the village stays itself. You come to rest, not to be entertained.

"We came for a week and left already planning the next. The pool was warm into the evening, and the walk down to the beach became our morning ritual."
"Everything was thought of. The kitchen had more than our own at home, and the owners answered every question before we'd finished asking it."
"Quiet, spotless, and exactly as pictured. Burgau is the Algarve people hope still exists — and Casa Solaris is the calmest corner of it."

Who It's For
Families settling in for a slow week, walkers and swimmers up with the sun, or anyone who'd rather not climb a stair on holiday — the house was made to suit all three.
The Space
The apartment opens onto its terrace and the shared pool. Inside, whitewashed walls, warm wood, and Portuguese tilework keep everything cool and calm.
Terrace & Pool
Step straight out to a private patio with sun beds, a dining table for six, and a shaded lounge corner. The shared pool sits a few steps below, kept clean and quiet — the water holds the warmth until evening.
Living Room
An open living room with comfortable sofas, a woven bench, and a working fireplace for cooler evenings out of season. Big windows pull in the morning light; the tiled floors stay cool through the heat of the day.
Kitchen & Dining
A full kitchen with oven and hob, dishwasher, washing machine, a tall fridge-freezer, and a Nespresso machine. Fish from the harbour, produce from the village market — it cooks itself.
The glass dining table seats six, under a woven rattan pendant, with the fireplace at its back.
Master Bedroom
A generous double bed, a soft sage wall, fitted wardrobes, and room to breathe. It stays cool and dark for late mornings.
Twin Bedroom
Two comfortable single beds looking onto the garden — easy for children, friends, or anyone who likes their own space.
Family Bathroom
Warm-toned tiling, a full bathtub with shower, and a wide vanity — the one for a long soak after a day on the coast.
Second Bathroom
A second, quick-in-quick-out bathroom with a walk-in shower — no queue for the beach in the morning.
More to come
Further photographs — the veranda, the entrance, and evening light on the pool — will be added here.

Local Guide
What we'd tell a friend arriving for the first time — where to swim, where to walk, where to eat, and where to point the car on a slow day. This corner of the Algarve rewards the unhurried.
Climate
Summers that warm without the deadly heat of the inland Algarve, and winters that stay mild and bright. The Atlantic keeps Burgau even — you can swim in June and walk the cliffs in shirtsleeves in January.

Choosing Your Base
Weighing up the Western Algarve usually comes down to four places. Burgau is the smallest and least known — and, for many, the reason people return.

Burgau Quiet fishing village |
Praia da Luz Family resort bay |
Lagos Historic harbour town |
Aljezur Wild west coast |

{{ row.burgauDots }} | {{ row.luzDots }} | {{ row.lagosDots }} | {{ row.aljezurDots }} |
More dots mean a stronger showing — our own read, honestly kept. Lagos wins on nightlife and sights; Aljezur on raw wildness. For a calm, walkable base by a real village beach, Burgau is hard to beat.
Getting Your Bearings
Around the House
Equipped for Everything
To cook, to rest with the children, to play, to relax, and — when it can't wait — to work. Kept up to date so you can travel light.
Ultra Easy Access
Everything sits on one level, a few flat steps from the car — thought through for families arriving with pushchairs and for guests who would rather not climb a stair on holiday.
Wi-Fi
Free WiFi runs throughout the apartment. The router sits in the living room — if the signal ever drops, a thirty-second power cycle usually sorts it. Connect the details below in your phone's Wi-Fi settings.

In the Kitchen
A full kitchen, and two tables to gather at — the glass dining table indoors, and the long table out on the terrace for slow evenings.

With the Children
Gated, single-level and a flat walk to the beach, with the little extras that make travelling with small ones lighter — just ask when you book.
If You Really Need To
A quiet corner for the mornings you can't quite switch off — then close the laptop and go to the beach.
At the Door
A private space of your own — a real luxury in a village of narrow lanes.
Sun & Water
The pool is a few steps from the terrace and the sand an eight-minute walk downhill — the house sits just above the water, minutes from the ocean.
Settling In
Cool in summer, warm by the fire in winter, with the everyday things already here so you can travel light.
