START SEARCHING FOR YOUR PLACE IN THE SUN
Property website review by Jodie Young
When it comes to searching for property in the Algarve, it shouldn’t be diffi cult to fi nd exactly what you’re looking for online. Here we check out how a brand new property website has made it easy, even for the less experienced web surfers among us.
S
o, you’ve decided to invest in a place in the sun. What better location than Portugal’s Algarve, a region which boasts 300 days of sunshine each year and the best year round climate in Europe. When it comes to leisure activities, the region has so much to off er.
Everyone’s heard about the Algarve’s golden beaches and stunning golf courses, but if you’re looking for real exhilaration, you can sample some serious waves to the west of the region in Sagres, an unexplored surfer’s paradise. While to the east, you can soak up the tranquillity of one of Portugal’s seven natural wonders, Ria Formosa Nature Reserve. You’ll fi nd some pretty hot nightlife spots along the coast too and plenty of places to dine, drink and chill-out.
T ere’s a huge choice of property for sale across the Algarve. You’ll fi nd that prices
vary quite dramatically depending on the location and there are some great bargains to be had this summer, so it’s worth shopping around.
Easier than ever to search online
A good place to start searching for your ideal property is on the Internet. T e good news is that Meravista, a brand new website dedicated to property in the Algarve, has taken the confusion out of searching for Algarve property online.
It’s now easier than ever for you to discover the Algarve and fi nd your perfect
holiday property or permanent home in this glorious sought-aſt er stretch of southern Portugal.
Meravista’s Anita van Huson explains: “Our user-friendly site has been designed
to provide a one-stop-property-shop which uses modern technology to ensure that you can access clear and detailed information on the wide range of homes for sale in the region.”
Search results plotted on a map
T e website lets you search for specifi c details such as whether a house has a pool, air conditioning and a security system. Search results are plotted on a detailed map of the Algarve too, so that you can see and research the local area. What’s more, Meravista maps have Google Street View enabled, so you can take a tour of town centres, residential streets and country roads without leaving your chair.
Meravista’s true map-based property search displays each property in its
geographical location with detailed descriptions and a gallery of photographs. Anita comments: “You won’t fi nd duplicate listings, diff erent descriptions and

“Why wait? T e sooner you start searching, the sooner you’ll own your place in the sun.”
In addition, the site provides guides to buying property and living in the region, plus a whole host of information on the Algarve. You can read about popular towns and local amenities, and keep up-to-date with events and news.
T e Algarve is an outstanding holiday
destination and an inspiring place to live. A charismatic region steeped in history and culture, its climate encourages outdoor living, outdoor pursuits, relaxation and, essentially, a healthier lifestyle.
T e Algarvean people are welcoming and generous. T e temperament of the
expatriates living alongside them suggests that they have absorbed their warmth and kindness, or perhaps it’s just the result of better living. Either way, it’s true to say that you’ll meet some of the friendliest people in the world in the Algarve.
