Methodology and source
Figures are computed over the real inventory of 247 Algarve holiday rentals managed by our partner Homing. Price is the «from» nightly value published on each listing; the median is the central value (more robust than the mean against outliers). Area is in m² and capacity in number of guests. Data is recomputed at every site publish — no estimates, no invented figures.
