Vila do Ouro

Heated pools, water 26°C.

If you’re travelling to the Algarve in October, keep in mind that most unheated pools are around 19 to 20°C.

Nights are already chilly, with temperatures dropping to 14 to 16°C, and the days are getting shorter. This means less sunshine and warmth to heat the pools.

During the day, we still enjoy plenty of sunshine and temperatures between 25 and 28°C. Completely normal October weather in the Algarve.

We’re slowly working on an upgrade to one of our bungalows.

We’re enlarging the terrace and adding a big, comfortable lounge bed. The first part is already finished, as you can see in the picture.

From the lounge bed, you’ll have a wonderfully relaxing view over the eastern hills of the Algarve. The perfect spot to unwind, enjoy the sunshine and simply take in the view.

We’ll probably call it the Bungalow ‘DeLuxo’. It should be ready for next season.

More to come.

A great tip for pitaya and dragon fruit lovers!

Less than 4 km from Vila do Ouro, you’ll find a beautiful pitaya farm where you can buy fresh, locally grown pitayas straight from the farm.

The fruit is delicious, refreshing and naturally packed with nutrients. If you’ve never tried a freshly picked pitaya, this is definitely worth a visit.

The farm is open from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm.

A lovely little discovery for anyone staying in the area — and a perfect way to enjoy some fresh, local fruit.

Greetings from a warm and sunny Vila do Ouro! Pitayagarve

Vila do Ouro is way too far to walk to the beach, but we’re close enough to see the cruise ships out at sea. Check out this zoomed-in picture from today.😊🛳️

The chameleon is back!

After years of absence, a chameleon was finally spotted again last week, right on the gate to the swimming pool.

From 2005 to 2017, chameleons were spotted here every August. After that, they seemed to disappear, and we were afraid they might have become extinct in this area.

Thankfully, that’s not the case. They’re back and making their way to the cool, green garden of Vila do Ouro.

Beginning of August, in the heat of the high season, yet with very pleasant temperatures of around 30°C during the day and 20°C at night. Sunshine everywhere, as well as plenty of tourists.

Vila do Ouro is fully booked, but we still have availability for the second half of August.

Today’s picture shows our tennis court, which is free for all our guests to use. ❤️

Check out: exact same weather as last year 😄

🌤️ Cool Summer Vibes in the Algarve!
Whenever temperatures in southern Europe climb just a little above average, the media goes wild calling it a heatwave. But when it cools down far below average? Silence. 🙃
These past 10 days in the Algarve have been wonderfully mild, with daytime highs around 26ºC. Perfect weather if you ask us! Evening strolls might even require a cozy sweater. All of it well within the normal climate rhythms of this beautiful region.
Check out today’s photo, a solid blanket of cloud above us! We’ve had cloudy spells now and then, along with strong coastal winds. It’s been breezier elsewhere, but here at Vila do Ouro we’ve had just the right balance. And the ocean? A delicious 22ºC right now; ideal for swimming! Our pools 27ºC….🌊
So yes, summer in the Algarve can go in many directions. But what truly sets us apart from Spain is our cool, sleep-friendly nights . A truly ideal climate.
📆 Still dreaming of an August getaway? We’ve got a few open spots:
Top Apartment for 6 people from Aug 17–31
Top Apartment for 4 people from Aug 20–27
Bungalows available from Aug 24
Come experience the sunny south for yourself! We’d love to welcome you ☀️

The Algarve is so much more than its coastline. The inland areas are just as stunning. Vila do Ouro sits only 7 km from the shore as the crow flies. Thanks to the heavy winter rains, most rivers and waterfalls in the Algarve are still flowing, perfect for a refreshing swim! Today we’ve got 35°C in the shade, sunshine all day, and a light breeze from the east. The pool is a lovely 29°C and the sea is 22°C. All normal temperatures for this time of the year.
