Hi Cynthia, Welcome.

In the Algarve, it is very difficult to find long-term rentals. Landlords prefer to rent the high season (April to September) separately. If you are looking for a house, a little bit away from the sea, 5 to 10 km, it is easier and cheaper.

Hello Cynthia,

@cynthiaelsener

I would suggest that you need a more precise definition of where you want to be than just 'The Algarve'.

You maybe need to stay somewhere not far from  the central area in order to be able to explore East and West  and get a better feel for the specific town you would be happy to spend a whole year in.

Or maybe you might revise your plan and spend six months in the Eastern area and six months in the Western ?

The rental you are prepared to pay is way way above the average and you should have no difficulty finding somewhere.

Lots of people have posted their thoughts on various cities in and regions of the Algarve on youtube.  You just have to search 'algarve'  within YT for them to come up. 

Could provide useful pointers even before you visit.

You have a very good BIG budge for monthly rent, so you should be able to find something rather nice.

Look in west Algarve area.

Dear Cynthia, most places in the Algarve are not far from golf courses.  They are the reason we keep running out of water.  You have a good budget and should be able to find something for 1,800-2,000.  I would not tell Landlords/agents you can afford more than that when you first meet them.  Most people will drop a few hundred - and it also gives you the flexibility to increase your offer.   I would start in the East/Central.  The West is also nice but a long way from the airport.  Take a look at Silves (Central) - lovely town.  Loule is also nice.

I had the same problem- had all docs for D7 visa BUT  annual lease. I heard about Savvycat Realty and they were phenomenal! I searched on my own for over 4 months. Joao of Savvycat found me a flat within 2 weeks. Beautiful flat overlooking the ocean. I think having a Portuguese agent helps tremendously. It does cost for their services but well worth it.
