About me

Hi , my name is Elisa!

Your guide behind the scenes

Hey friends! I’m so happy you’ve found my website 🙂

I’m your guide behind the scenes at Algarvista — a blog dedicated to all things Algarve.

Algarvista is my way of sharing all the reasons I love this region and helping you explore it the way I do, beyond the typical spots, with honest recommendations, practical tips, and places I genuinely return to again and again.

Why did I started this?

Well, because I’ve lived in the Algarve ever since I can remember, and I would love to share how I would spend a perfect vacation here.

I’m half Portuguese, half Belgian, and grew up in Carvoeiro. So, it’s safe to say, I know this area inside and out —its beautiful beaches, the best restaurants, the quaint little towns, and quiet spots. 

Now at 26, I still have a deep connection with Algarve, and continue to explore this region. 

Discover my best recommendations

Anything I recommend isnot a one-time suggestion. Rather tried and tested multiple times over the years. Plus, if you need a place to stay, I have a gorgeous studio backed by sea views in Carvoeiro that’s just steps from the beach.

Algarvista is my true passion, I love talking about it. And that’s my mission — to provide you most honest, helpful advice and help you explore the Algarve like a true local

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you love exploring the Algarve as much as I do! ♥️
