Boliqueime is one of the places in the Algarve that seems to generate a lot of different pronunciations! The language is tough to get your head around and we may not be 100% right, but we pronounce Boliqueime as Boli – kem.
Pronunciation aside, it is a charming and colourful Portuguese parish.
What is the location and character of Boliqueime?
How far is it from major resorts?
Just five minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Vilamoura, Boliqueime is perfect for getting away from it all. For a more “evening out” meal you can opt to go to Vilamoura, a five minutes drive away, or Albufeira – around 15 minutes in the car.
What is the community like?
There is a great mix of Portuguese locals and expats in Boliqueime. Many live there all year round and there is a really strong community feel and village atmosphere here. People meet up for a coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at the end of the day in the centre of the village.
What amenities are available?
You have an Aldi, Lidl and Dutch supermarket just on the outskirts of the village as well as a selection of cafés, local restaurants and bistros to choose from.
What types of properties are available?
Property styles range from traditional Algarvean villas, renovated farmhouses and modern townhouses to luxurious estates and small quintas. Properties in Boliqueime will mainly be private and so there are no condominium fees to pay.
What are the prices and rental potential?
This is far more of a local, year round area to buy in than a holiday complex on the coast. Boliqueime is a popular place to buy and so average prices are slightly higher than other inland areas. Rental possibilities in this area are also good.
