News Posted On: 02 June 2009
The Algarve is proving popular among celebrities, with Angelina Jolie reportedly looking to buy property in the area.
According to reports, Jolie and partner Brad Pitt are hoping to raise their children in the region.
The Hollywood couple are looking for a home in a small village called Lagos, one source has revealed.
Lagos is a historic town, exemplified by its 16th-century walls, museum, fort and marina, among its many attractions.
Commenting on the star's Portuguese house hunting, the source said: "She loves Portugal and wants to raise her kids there"
"She's looking in a quaint village called Lagos. She wants to move there as soon as possible."
The area is home to some five kilometres of beach, making it an ideal destination for holiday homes and family properties.
Last month, Kylie Minogue was reported to be considering purchasing a home on the Costa Brava.
