ApraHouseLoule Guesthouse
Outdoor pool retreat near Poço Novo
About this stay
ApraHouseLoule Guesthouse sits at enough of a remove from central Loulé that the outdoor pool becomes the main event rather than a bonus, with Poço Novo five minutes away on foot for a quieter walk than the old town offers. The ten-minute taxi ride to the Mercado Municipal de Loulé keeps the market and its neo-Arabic architecture within reach for a day trip, without the guesthouse itself sitting in the middle of the crowds. Free parking and air-conditioned rooms round out a stay built for guests who want to base themselves outside the town center and come and go by car or taxi as needed. A perfect ten rating suggests this quieter setting works well for the guests who choose it.

Our take
This suits travellers who want a pool-focused stay outside the density of central Loulé, with the market and old town still reachable by a short taxi ride. The Poço Novo setting favours a slower pace over old-town proximity. Anyone wanting to walk to the Castelo de Loulé without transport should book closer to the center instead.
- Book the ten-minute taxi to the Mercado Municipal for a Saturday morning market visit.
- Use the free parking if arriving with a rental car for the wider Algarve.
- Walk to Poço Novo in the early evening for a quieter change of scene.
Why we love it

Why guests love itApraHouseLoule Guesthouse sits outside central Loulé, five minutes on foot from Poço Novo, and its outdoor pool is the main attraction for children. Air-conditioned rooms and free parking suit a family exploring the Algarve by car, and the Mercado Municipal de Loulé is about ten minutes away by taxi. It has only 3 reviews so far, all strongly positive at 10 out of 10, so there is little to go on yet. I would consider it for a quiet family base with a pool.
