Villa holiday rentals in Faro District

What a fantastic week! We stayed at Villa Luz 37 – Terrace, Jacuzzi & Swimming Pool in Albufeira from May 27th to June 3rd and what a wonderful experience it was! Communication with Guilherme was exceptional: fast, friendly, and always helpful. The villa exceeded our expectationsL: spacious, stylish, and fully equipped with everything we needed. We truly enjoyed the jacuzzi, the swimming pool, and the peaceful terrace. The hospitality, facilities, and service were outstanding. A well-deserved 9 out of 10 and honestly, it could have been even higher. Thank you, Guilherme, for an unforgettable stay!

Gorgeous beach just a little walk away. Town is very nice w beach bars etc. house has awesome views. Views when in pool are not good due to wall. Suggest to maybe put up acrylic wall? Host was super responsive. We loved our stay at this very large house!

Our stay at this villa was fantastic! The new outdoor kitchen was amazing, and the heated pool made it extra special. The Arkeo team went above and beyond, even installing a fence to keep our small child safe from the stairs. The location is perfect, and the elevator was incredibly convenient for our luggage. One thing that really stood out is how much better the villa feels in person—it’s elegant and understated in the photos, but the space, design, and atmosphere are even more impressive when you’re actually there. Although our stay was too short, we can’t wait to come back for a longer visit. Highly recommend this villa for a luxurious stay in Quinta do Lago!

From first booking we had excellent communication with the owners. We decided to get the pool heated and use there transfer service. The pool was a good temperature on arrival and the transfer was excellent service. We were greeted at the villa by Pavel (Villa manager), he was very friendly, he showed us the working of the villa and what the area had to offer locally. We did have an issue with the A/C, we made contact with Pavel and the issue was sorted within a few hours (great service). Everything that was advertised on the listing page described the villa exactly. I would highly recommend staying here and we look forward to a return holiday at the villa.

Absolutely perfect stay — 10/10! This was the ideal place for a visit to the Algarve. Rosa was hands down the best host I’ve ever had on Airbnb. From the moment I booked, she went above and beyond. Before I even arrived, she sent a detailed guide with everything I needed to know about the property, plus amazing recommendations for local restaurants, sights, and hidden gems. The home itself was spotless, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a fantastic stay. I truly couldn’t recommend this place more — I’ll definitely be coming back!

Our first time traveling with our new baby so we had a lot of questions, Nuno was super responsive and helpful. Place was great, would definitely return and recommend

This was a truly fantastic villa, just what we (as a couple) were looking for (difficult to find good size villas for two persons); but could comfortably accommodate at least 4. Everything was as described; and Catia responded promptly to questions, etc. The villa is in a great location, less than 5 minutes walk from many restaurants (Sao Domingos is especially good) and other local amenities - Aldi is less than 5 minutes walk; a small Apolonia (think Waitrose Express) about 15-20 minutes walk (less than 5 by car); and a large Continente (Tesco/Sainsbury's) about 10 - 15 minutes drive (in the Algarve Shopping Mall). Praia da Gale is also 15-20 minutes walk (5 by car), with Restaurant Praia da Gale also recommended. It is beautiful inside, with plenty of kitchen equipment; and beautifully furnished and finished. Very easy to find as on the main road through the town. All in all, a fabulous place; and we will certainly look to book again when looking to stay in Gale.

If you are looking for a beautiful location to unplug and relax, look no further than Bernardo & Laura’s place. The photos don’t do justice to the breathtaking views. Their place is in a very peaceful and quiet spot in the mountains; while still being only about 35 minutes from the amazing beaches of the Algarve. We were a group of 6 people, including 2 young kids, and we always felt very comfortable in the spacious accommodations. Laura was super responsive and helpful in all of our communications and was able to accommodate an early check-in, which we appreciated after a long flight. We would definitely recommend this home.

Beautiful place in a lovely area. The house looks just like the pictures if not better. It’s very functional and everything you might need is there. It’s located close to the beautiful beach. Everyone was very helpful and I would definitely recommend this place and stay there again . Thank you!

Great villa very close to shops and beach. Host had very good communication. Jets in hot tub didn’t work during our stay and when the gardeners come they were very loud but overall a great stay and would go again! Building a villa next door but was not in anyway noisy and host told us before we confirmed the booking.

We had a great stay in the Villa. It matched our expectations. Everything was clean and well maintained. Some of the decor was older but well kept. We thoroughly enjoyed swimming in the pool, relaxing by the outside seating areas and suntanning in the private outdoor area. Thank you kindly for having us. All the best!

Madalena was a fabulous host, really friendly and always a quick response to my messages.. a stunning location, the photos really don't do it justice. We stayed for 4 nights, enjoying walking to nearby Loule. A supermarket just 5 mins walk away and a cafe. Would not hesitate to go back, thank you so much Madalena

Casa Bela Vista was the perfect house for us to enjoy some quiet family days. With an amazing view and all the amenities, our stay couldn’t be any better. António was always available and very friendly.

What a fantastic property and location. We had high expectations from the photos and price, but they were met and more. Modern with all of the amenities: cooking essentials, beach gear / toys, towels, beers if you're lucky the previous guest didn't finish them! Wendy and Manel are very responsive (when asked - not interfering!) and I am so glad they have shared their home with us for a week. We've walked the coastal path on past visits and wondered what it would be like to live in one of the villas right next to it... Now we know and want to do it again!

Casa Mu is a beautiful home with zen like qualities and an expansive view. We were staying at the house during the black out. Matthijs reached out to us while the cell towers were still live and came by to open the gates manually so we could get back to the house. Yannick stopped by later in the day to give us updates. The home has a Big Green egg and we had bought charcoal the day we arrived so we were able to cook dinner. Thankfully power was down for only a short time. Casa Mu has one of the best equipped kitchens I’ve ever seen in a rental. We bought oranges and limes from a roadside stand and made fresh juice using the electric juicer. Beds are super comfortable and bathrooms well equipped. I would suggest bringing bar soap for the shower. There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room to hang out both inside and outside the house. The pool is not heated, but I did go in. A bit bracing, but not too cold. For food shopping, go to Apolonia in Lagoa. Great store that has all you need

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautifully appointed & very comfortable, spacious villa. Located in a very quiet area with wonderful views, it was a perfect choice. Rui was helpful, responsive and a delight to work with Thank you for a lovely stay

absolutely stunning villa! The location was great, very private and only a 4 minute drive into the town via very cheap ubers and taxis. The hosts were very welcoming and gave great insight. Huge pool! Great facilities and modern kitchen/ furnishings. Comfy bedrooms and bathrooms had a wonderful shower. Pool cleaner came twice a week and the garden grounds were gorgeous. The perfect base for your trip, only wished we had stayed longer!

We were a large group, with 8 adults and 2 children (1 and 3 years). We had a great two weeks at the villa. The property really has everything you need to have a great summer sun pass vacation. The most beautiful beaches of the can be reached within 10 minutes by car, e.g.: Praia Marinha. The kitchen is equipped with everything your heart desires, incl. Juicer, coffee maker, etc... For us, the pizza baking in the pizza stone oven was a highlight. At the beginning, there were a few small issues with the pool, but they were resolved immediately after our report. The property managers are in constant contact, so you can actually get rid of questions all the time. If you're not necessarily driving into the countryside, you actually just have to leave the villa for shopping:)

What a stunning view! Izabel’s and Taylor‘s villa was an amazing property with everything you could ask for including yoga mats and a fully equipped kitchen. The stunning terrace offers fantastic views of the sunset over the Atlantic ocean. Izabel and Taylor were awesome hosts who welcomed us warmly in person. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home and even offered a large welcome basket with lots of local treats.

We had a wonderful stay here. We were two families with young children, and found the place really spacious and full of great things for the kids - and adults - to do. The sauna was great and straightforward to use, the pool was lovely and when the heating wasn’t working the team were helpful and communicative and able to fix the problem. Again, when the sink was blocked they sent someone over the next day. The kitchen is full of utensils to cook with, the TV worked great for the kids to watch Netflix and we found it incredibly peaceful and relaxing. We loved Burgau and would love to come back.

Really enjoyed our stay in Lagos. Walkable to the lighthouse and several incredible beaches as well as town. Ubers are also very cheap. We also walked to Cascades Weklness for spa one day! All around fantastic.

Our stay at Vila G, Mira Luz was all that we had hoped it would be. The stunning views were not hard to take every morning over coffee. The accommodations were very comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. Walking distance to the beach and the little shops/restaurants. The area was quiet and well maintained with a gated community to feel safe and secure. We even survived the blackout ! Thank you for hospitality would definitely recommend.

We had a really nice time at this Airbnb. The place was just as advertised—clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The beach was stunning and only a short walk away, which was perfect. The heated pool was a nice bonus, especially with a 6-year-old, and the whole property was well-kept. The area was quiet and peaceful, just what we were looking for. The host was responsive and helpful whenever we had questions. Everything went smoothly, and we’d happily stay here again. A solid choice for a relaxing getaway! A few tips, the best food in Lagos is Tasca do Kiko, also there is a cafe called Everyday People cafe, perfect for breakfast.

The house is beautiful! And it had everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed the swimming pool, tennis table and pool table. It is also near wonderful beaches like Praia dos tres Irmãos. We hope to come back one day!
