With hilltop views of the Arade River, the three-pearl Vitor's Village Resort has a tranquil setting amid cobbled pathways and flower gardens, but it's isolated from many of the region's bigger attractions. The 106 modern apartments have kitchenettes and furnished balconies, with room to spread out. There are multiple pools and the on-site dining options are better than expected, with an espresso bar and a rooftop cocktail bar, but the lack of a fitness center or spa is a downside. A free shuttle runs to the local beaches twice a day, and it's a 10-minute walk to the quaint cobblestone center of Ferragudo. Travelers may want to also consider the Tivoli Marina Portimao across the water, though the atmosphere there isn't as relaxed.
