Cottage holiday rentals in Barlavento Algarvio

An exceptional secluded paradise. We stayed there for a week to visit the Algarve and were there as a couple and with our dogseta who was delighted. Silvia provided us with instructions to get to the house properly (not following the gps). The place is very quiet, secluded and is reached by a flattened dirt trail between vineyards. The house is wooden and very big and spacious. It has a large enclosed deck ideal for being read there or playing board games. The house is well finished and secluded and has screens on all windows. The kitchen is very well equipped with all the utensils and some basic ingredients. The garden is wide with a very clean pool, of which Silvia takes care of daily without disturbing. Silvia has made it easy for us any needs and we are very happy about it; we repeat the stay without a doubt.

Nice place with an insanely beautiful beach nearby. House is nice with lots of places around the house to always sit in the sun or shade. Also nice that the space around the house is shielded with vegetation and a fence ( due to small kids). House felt very clean and thoughtfully decorated. Nice arrival with lights on and a drink in the refrigerator, plenty of towels and nice smell and soap everywhere, etc. Wonderful stay in the hammock and porch porch. but the breathtaking beach so close to the house was really the best.

Casa May is an idyllic place . The house is set in a beautiful garden which merges into the surrounding bush. Set about a kilometre from the main road , it epitomises peace and quiet.

Claire’s home is cozy and comfortable, with everything you need to make you feel at home. The garden is absolutely amazing, a little corner of paradise. We also enjoyed the little bar and shop that is only 3 minutes walk from the house. The closest beach is only 8 minutes drive, Lagos 25 minuets, etc. We recommend parking the car down the street as it’s not so easy to drive in and out if you don’t have experience with driving on narrow streets that go up and down :p.

Beautiful house! Very clean and stylishly decorated! We had an great week and felt very comfortable. The house is located just outside Silves surrounded by nature. We will be happy to come back!

If you want to have your own estate with a pool, jacuzzi and a very nice mini house with everything you need 20 minutes from a beautiful beach and 7 minutes from Loule, this is your place. Stefano is a super attentive host, super friendly and totally concerned about our privacy. He helped us with a problem we had with the car, brought us to the village and left us tools. I highly recommend this site.

Michaela’s property is truly outstanding we have never stayed anywhere so beautiful. Pool was heated to perfection(at an extra cost). The whole experience was great, we had an issue with the jacuzzi which we were paying extra for thus was dealt with as soon as we raised it and in a very professional way. Ana the hosts representative was a delightful lady and very responsive. We had simply the best family holiday in a beautiful villa, in a beautiful county. We are already planning our next stay in Michaela’s beautiful home.

We really enjoyed our stay at Carlos' house. Carlos is an excellent host, always available to help and very easy to communicate with. The village of Hortas de Tabual is surrounded by nature and is very calm and peaceful. It is located near some beaches. The house is well equipped and has excellent internet access and a shower with good pressure and hot water. The kitchen is very well equipped, only wine glasses were missing (which I'm sure Carlos could easily solve) and the refrigerator could have more cold power for the beers 😇 We really liked it and will do it again

Beautiful house with a fantastic sea view. Laura’s house is ideal for a family stay. Very clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend to others.

Super clean cottage, in a cozy neighborhood. Everything we needed was there, even a booklet with recommendations. The hosts were super friendly, helpful, gave lots of tips and answered very quickly. We had a great time here! Definitely recommended!!!

What an absolute gem! 💎 we didn’t want to stay in a resort and this was perfect, off the beaten track set in the most peaceful and beautiful surroundings. The house itself was ideal for us and our 2 young children - there was a cot, highchair, and loads of playthings both indoor and out 🤩 As a base it was perfect to explore - we could reach everywhere we wanted within about 1.5hrs but most places were much closer (would highly recommend Silves!). Evi was wonderful - super responsive and have loads of recommendations 😄 We would highly recommend and definitely stay again! ✨

This home is a beautiful farm house in the area - you feel right at home when you arrive and it makes you want to move in. The property is so peaceful, calming and great for kids and outdoor meals. The location is wonderful and right in the middle of all of the beaches in the area. The hosts are incredibly helpful and communicative (the best communication I've encountered with an airbnb) - always there to respond to you if you have questions and help with anything that comes up. The house is also incredibly well equipped for multiple guests and a longer stay - the photos don't reveal just how many dishes, pots and pans, and other supplies the home has. As well, the windows have screens which is a HUGE plus that many airbnbs in the area do not have. If you are there in cooler or wetter weather, the house does get a little bit damp if you are sensitive to that but that is pretty common for most places in the area and the hosts have put things in place to help with it.

Judite's place was very charming and had an amazing view. It was very peaceful and had everthing you needed. We didnt rent a car but used Uber, taxis and the local bus to get to neighbouring towns and even a day trip to the little fishing town Alvor. Judite responded quickly to all our queries before and during our trip. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend Lavender cottage.

I had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful property! The space was peaceful, comfortable, and full of charm – the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully arranged, and you can really feel the care that’s gone into creating such a welcoming environment. One of the unexpected highlights was getting to meet their three lovely dogs – Nuts, Thelma, and Louise. Each of them has such a sweet personality, and they added so much warmth and character to our stay. Thank you for the incredible hospitality – I hope to return again soon!

Very nice and clean apartment with two balconies. The pool is clean and spacious, the loungers and parasols invite you to relax and chill. There is even a toilet. The apartment is just a stone's throw away, so you can always get drinks or snacks from the kitchen and the fridge. The location is very quiet and the combination is ideal for relaxing for families with and without children. The pool and the landlord's property are beautifully green and flowery. Although Benafim is located in the hinterland, for holidaymakers with rental cars, the trips are a pleasant change from the various excursion destinations in the Algarve. For us, who also like to explore Tenerife by car, it is comparably well located. You can experience the hustle and bustle of Albufeira in 30 minutes. All in all, a nice accommodation with good value for money. We are very satisfied and will be happy to come back.

We had such a lovely stay, the accommodation was absolutely stunning and had everything you could ever need. We had 6 adults, 3 couples staying, I would just say that the third bedroom has two quite small bunk beds but still pretty comfortable, but probably not suitable for anyone massively tall. The decor around the place was amazing and Joanna was so attentive. We used the BBQ every night and the outside terrace was absolutely perfect. There were washing machine tablets, plus dishwasher tablets already at the house which was very kind instead of making people buy a whole pack just for a week’s stay. Joanna also gave us some good recommendations to do nearby and some restaurants. Highly recommend staying here, it was perfect. There were also loads of toys around the pool for families to use to take to the beach.

We had a great time and disconnected, which is what we were looking for. We stayed in "casita Alta" all the details were well cared for and they have everything very nice, you can tell a great job. It's a good stay to disconnect being close to everything a little. It takes a lot to be in the pool and take a walk through the estate. If I had to improve some of the experience it is that in our casita we had two armchairs, perhaps for comfort and as a personal opinion I would put a sofa, such an accommodation is usually booked as a couple and being able to share a sofa at the end of the day is appreciated. As I say it is personal, others will prefer the armchair. On the other hand, dine on the terrace with the garden and the view was very nice, the kitchen is very equipped, the bed is comfortable and Eduard and Ilse are very hospitable, so thank you very much for the experience.

The vacation home is located in a quiet oasis in the middle of an almond forest (I hope I recognized it). The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need. There are also things like coffee capsules, detergent, salt & oil so that you have everything you need for the first few days. Communication was smooth, friendly and fast. We felt very comfortable there and I would always like to come again.

Beautiful accommodation, incredibly peaceful, comfortable and quiet. The pool and the pool house was fantastic and like most, we enjoyed spending most of our time there. The orange trees was amazing, we did try one and it was hands down the best orange we've had. Anything you need is there/nearby, with supermarkets not too far away down the road for anything you need. Mel's communication was fantastic and extremely helpful and all round super lovely. Not often we enjoy a few days totally unwinding but it was much appreciated after being in Lisbon and we would love to come back. Thank you Mel!

Had a lovely stay in Marta’s beautiful apartment! Was very clean and had everything I needed. Loved the private terrace, perfect to sit outside and enjoy my morning coffee. Thanks Marta!

Maria Helena's place looked as shown in the pictures. A special feature is a good-sized pool and many sun loungers around the pool to accommodate a larger group. We also liked the historic feel and look of the house, while all the modern amenities are there. A large terrace with a seating area and dining table provides a nice place to relax all day (incl. late evenings and early mornings with a sunrise). Great views from the terrace to the surrounding countryside - the house is private with a good distance from the other houses. You would need a car to get to the shops, etc., but it takes only 10-15 minutes to get to the shops in Lagos. Many local restaurants are even closer. Overall, it was a lovely holiday. Maria Helena is also an excellent host. She gives advice at the beginning and stays a few minutes away by phone if you have any questions or concerns. She also kindly let us stay longer on our check-out day as we had a late afternoon flight back home.

Everything was very nice, but the view was exceptional!!

Great accommodation. We were completely satisfied and felt at home. A small pool was arranged for our baby to cool off. We recommend the accommodation 100% and will come back again.
