Itinerary
Day 1
Private Mercedes transfer from Lisbon to Albufeira with a gentle-paced arrival programme suitable for seniors: meet & greet, comfortable drive (approx. 3 hours), short accessible stroll, relaxing lunch and hotel check-in.
Pickup & Private Mercedes Transfer — Lisbon to Albufeira (door-to-door)
Meet your English-speaking chauffeur at your pre-agreed pickup point in Lisbon (we recommend Humberto Delgado Airport or your central Lisbon hotel). Board a modern Mercedes E-Class or V‑Class for a comfortable, climate-controlled ride with Wi‑Fi and complimentary bottled water. The chauffeur will drive directly to Albufeira (Algarve) with minimal stops.
Tips from local experts:
- Accessibility: The Mercedes V‑Class/E‑Class offers step-in assistance and space for mobility aids — tell the operator in advance if you need extra help or a ramp so the driver can prepare.
- Comfort hacks: Bring a light wrap for the car’s air-conditioning; bottled water is provided but keep a small snack on hand if you have specific dietary needs.
- Logistics: Confirm exact pickup point and contact number the day before; the driver usually waits at arrivals (or at hotel reception) and can help with luggage and short explanations of the route.
Arrival orientation & short stroll — Albufeira Old Town
Upon arrival in Albufeira you’ll be dropped near the pedestrian-friendly Old Town. Take a gentle 25–35 minute orientation stroll along the main promenade and the cobbled Praça; this is low-distance walking with many benches and shaded cafés nearby.
Tips from local experts:
- Accessibility: The Old Town has some cobbles and short steps — stick to the lower promenade and main squares where ramps and smooth paving are available; many streets have benches every few minutes.
- Pacing: Keep the walk to under 35 minutes to avoid fatigue; the driver can drop you at the seafront (Praia dos Pescadores) to minimise uphill walking.
- Facilities: Public restrooms and cafés with accessible toilets are located on the main square and along the seafront — ask staff for the nearest accessible WC if needed.
Calm lunch — Restaurante O Marinheiro (senior-friendly seating & shade)
A relaxed lunch at Restaurante O Marinheiro — known for gentle service, accessible seating options and seafood / Mediterranean dishes. Order light, easily chewed options or request menu adjustments; staff are accustomed to guests with mobility or dietary needs.
Tips from local experts:
- Dietary & seating: Request a ground-level or terrace table when booking — staff at O Marinheiro will reserve an accessible spot and can adapt dishes (softer textures, low-salt) on request.
- Timing: Arrive at 12:30 to avoid the busiest lunch hour and to secure a calm table with shade or easy access to toilet facilities.
- Payment & gratuity: Most restaurants accept card; tipping ~5–10% is customary for attentive service, but you can hand cash directly to staff if that’s easier.
Hotel arrival & settle in — Hotel Sol e Mar (seafront, accessible rooms available)
Check in and relax at Hotel Sol e Mar or a similar accessible seafront hotel in Albufeira. Enjoy a gentle rest, use elevators and room facilities, or take a short sit-down on the terrace overlooking the sea.
Tips from local experts:
- Accessibility: Ask reception for a ground-floor or elevator-accessible room with a walk-in shower if stairs are an issue — Hotel Sol e Mar offers accessible room options when requested in advance.
- Post-transfer care: Use the hotel lobby benches or terrace to rest while luggage is taken to your room; request assistance with luggage if needed.
- Local needs: Note the hotel’s pharmacy and medical clinic contacts at reception in case you require medication or quick medical help during your stay.
