Alte is a charming and unspoilt village located in the municipality of Loulé, in the heart of Portugal's Algarve region. Often described as one of the most typical and picturesque villages in the Algarve, Alte has managed to retain its traditional character and charm, away from the bustle of the coastal resorts. The village is known for its whitewashed houses with colourful borders, narrow cobbled streets, and beautifully crafted chimneys all surrounded by rolling hills and countryside. Among its highlights are the natural springs of Fonte Grande and Fonte Pequena, where clear water flows year-round, and the nearby Queda do Vigário waterfall, a peaceful spot for swimming and picnics. Alte's authenticity makes it a favourite destination for those seeking a glimpse of traditional Algarve life. When it comes to dining, Alte offers several inviting local restaurants. Two of the most popular are O Folclore, which serves traditional Mediterranean and Portuguese dishes in a relaxed, rustic setting, and Terra d'Alte, known for its excellent regional cuisine and warm atmosphere. Both provide an excellent opportunity to taste local flavours and enjoy the friendly hospitality that defines this small village. Located inland yet easily accessible, Alte is around 42 minutes by car from Faro International Airport.
