Alternative Portugal – New launch

A new villa rental agency has been created to offer the UK market specialist knowledge, tailored holiday solutions and stunning accommodation on Portugal's Atlantic Coast – Alternative Portugal.

With a passion for all aspects of this relatively undiscovered coastline of Portugal - the food, culture, lifestyle and surfing - Alternative Portugal is an independent agency with an aim to inspire their clients to discover and fall in love with the Atlantic Coast for themselves.

Launching for summer 2016 with an impressive initial portfolio of 50 properties, the collection focuses on three key areas covering The Silver Coast, Comporta in the Alentejo and Sagres in the South West corner of the country. Alternative Portugal has been created by the team behind the well-established Alternative Aquitaine business, who have been operating with impeccable customer reviews for over 13 years.

“For many years we've been successfully promoting Aquitaine in France as the alternative beach destination to the country's well-trodden Mediterranean coast. Our clients love the endless beaches of Aquitaine but they also really appreciate that it is less well-known – they are discovering an area that the French adore yet the British hardly know”.

“We're now doing the same in Portugal with a new programme of villa holidays along the beautiful and undiscovered west coast – it's the alternative to the Algarve! Like Aquitaine, Portugal's west coast enjoys superb sandy beaches, a distinctive cuisine and fewer crowds – it's where the Portuguese go on holiday”, says Justin Ashby, Director of Alternative Portugal

Working with a extensive group of international property owners, Alternative Portugal offers a fine and diverse collection of villas, beach houses and family resorts, sleeping 2 – 10 with all properties being visited and personally vetted by the experienced team.  With a year round agreeable climate, this area of Portugal averages 275 days of sunshine a year, offering an extended summer season  for a wide variety of holidaymakers.
