Cottage holiday rentals in Faro District

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.

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.

Everything was wonderful, the estate is great with its views, orange, everything, the little house had everything and they brought us to a great barbecue, Ana and her mother were wonderful, we really liked it, and the dog of the estate was great, and the dog of the estate was coming to visit us every afternoon, just to thank them for everything, we hope to return soon

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.

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.

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.

Nice and quiet flat with perfect view, terrace and garden.

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.

Thank you for an incredible stay! We rented a car in Faro and could very easily get around to beaches, restaurants and attractions. We really appreciated staying in this little village without all the tourism. Incredibly nice house in an incredibly charming village with walking distance to local restaurants, small shop with necessities, etc. By car, the nearest large grocery store is about 5-7 minutes away, which was very convenient! The house has everything you could possibly need for a shorter or longer stay. If I come here again, I will 100% book the same accommodation.

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.

Wow! I am sat here back at work wondering why i hadn't stayed for longer than a weekend!? The perfect few days, surrounded by animals, dogs, cats, pigs and horses, stunning views and the loveliest family and new friends! My friend and I booked this stay purposely for the horse riding and we really had the best time, we rode every day we were there and made some solid core memories. The horses are all so well looked after and the riding through the valley is stunning. Thankyou so so much Zoe, Martin and family for welcoming us in to your beautiful home and making us feel so welcome. I am already trying to figure out when i can come back :) Few things to note - I would say you need a car as there isn't anything within walking distance, the property doesn't lock but you are staying within the family's home so everything is super safe. If you dont like animals this isn't the place for you, there is a massive pool, a beautiful view and it really is just the perfect place to recharge.

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.

Very good hosting by Karine and Cocochou who are very available but know how to be discreet. The accommodation and the environment are great. We had a lovely few days in Casa amor

Kirsten and Nick were so lovely and went above and beyond in making us comfortable and welcome. The cottage was huge, clean and secluded. The grounds were amazing with many different trees, flowers and small paths to discover. The pool was beautiful. The Hibiscus Cottage is wonderful if you want to get away from the crowds.

Super nice hosts and great apartment! We felt very comfortable and would come back!

Delightful and unique stay in a quiet and beautiful region. For those seeking tranquility and beauty in a non-touristy environment. We have greatly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, quiet place, a little further inland in the Algarve. The house was very neat and equipped with everything you need. The garden and swimming pool were wonderful, with breathtaking views of the countryside and beautiful sunsets. Nearby are charming, not too touristy villages where you can eat wonderfully. We have found the peace we were looking for, and can take beautiful walks in nature nearby. Everything was right, it was perfect.

What an incredible place to stay! Eric is so friendly and helpful. The natural swimming pool is incredible, such a lovely place to spend time. They bought us fresh bread each morning and provided lovely honey and milk etc which was a lovely surprise. The accommodation itself is simple but has absolutely everything you need and has lovely spaces for sitting outside

Hard not to fall in love with this place. Everything one could dream of. It’s a very relaxed environment with two very cool humans, whom which have built a little town of their own if you don’t say! We were lucky enough to have a little tour of the place, hear about how it all started. Went horseback riding with Chris which was incredo. Swam in the pond, sat in the sauna but mostly just enjoyed the view. And hung out with the doggos. Thank you. Will definitely come again when I return to Portugal.

I had the pleasure of staying at Gaismas place for a couple of days to visit relatives in the area. The place is very nice, clean, practical and has very lovingly been created by Gaisma and her partner. It's removed from the main road and you shouldn't be afraid to use unpaved roads, but that's how it is in the whole area. The description to get there Gaisma sent through before arrival was very accurate, and I had no problem getting there. Her dogs are very friendly and curious, but also understand that no is a no. Greatly recommended.

Very nice, spacious and authentic accommodation with two cozy terraces and barbecue. The pool was great for the kids. The house is very quiet in the middle of orange plantations, so a rental car is necessary. We would highly recommend the house and would also like to come back.
