Villa holiday rentals in Moncarapacho

HPaco and Steven were truly exceptional hosts! We arrived during a surprise blackout, but Paco responded right away and went out of his way to help us settle in—something we deeply appreciated. Their home is beautiful, with a lovely pool and inviting outdoor space. While it was a bit too chilly for a swim during our visit, we could easily imagine enjoying it in warmer weather. The location is ideal—just 30 minutes from Faro and an hour from Lagos—perfect for day trips and exploring the region. We’d absolutely love to return and highly recommend this fantastic place to anyone visiting the area!

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!

Spacious villa with comfortable beds & bedding, good air con and large communal areas. Good location with small supermarket/shops within walking distance or Aldi 5min drive away. Restaurant options also nearby. Marina with lots of bars is a 45 minute walk away, with old town being 8-10 minute drive away. Lovely pool with comfortable loungers and enough shaded areas if needed! Although the pool made our swimwear and skin go green (we were told this was because of our sun cream, but have never had that happen previously and we all used different creams), so don’t wear pale swimwear and towels around the pool!! The villa could do with a much larger bin considering its occupancy size and also basic cleaning supplies (disinfectant spray or wipes & bin bags) would be useful. Have to buy all your own supplies including sponge to wash up and dishwasher tablets. Otherwise lovely stay and would definitely return again!! Thank you ☺️

We had a great stay at Casa Quadra Dique. The home is finished to a really high standard, in a very peaceful setting which was perfect for unwinding. The swimming pool was a real highlight as well as the picturesque sunrises. The hosts were very attentive and responsive, and gave us a list of recommendations for nearby restaurants etc. Would absolutely stay again and highly recommend!

Grote Villa, heerlijk zwembad welke je deelt met drie andere villa’s. Je loopt een klein stukje over het terrein en dan kom je aan bij een privé steiger met heerlijk uitzicht. Geen strand waar je kan recreëren of zwemmen. Omgeving is rustig met mooie natuur. Auto is wel aan te raden. Bedden zijn goed, huis is ruim. Inventaris kan wel update gebruiken. Maar overall een goede accommodatie, zeker voor deze prijs! Bedankt Karl

This is a beautiful villa and pool with a breathtaking view down over the hills to the sea and islands in the distance. The whole place is spotlessly clean and furnished to a very good standard with comfortable beds, sofas and sunbeds and both indoor and outdoor dining spaces. The pool is spacious and inviting and. makes a lovely focal point in the garden. Matthijs is an excellent host, responding swiftly to messages in a helpful and friendly manner. We highly recommend this villa.

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

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!

We had a brilliant 9-day stay at Tamsin’s house. The villa couldn’t have been better situated, being a 2-min walk from town and within easy reach of local towns / beaches and shops. The house itself was large and well equipped, with a big swimming pool and living area. We travelled with 2 young children and the house was perfect, with stair-gates, toys and a comfortable travel cot and high chair. Tamsin was also very responsive snd accommodated an early check in and late departure. We would highly recommend.

Villa is absolutely beautiful exactly like it is in the photos highly recommended, Would definitely stay here again villa is only a few minutes from the town by car. Everything you could possibly wish for in the kitchen, right down to a third fridge in the outside barbecue area. We stayed with friends, as 2 families so eight in the villa and had plenty of room. also separate areas for all of us so it never felt like we was all on top of each other I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of staying here Till the next time 😎

Beautiful, immaculate property. Even better than the pictures. Everything about the place was perfect. Couldn’t have found a better place to come back to after long days of exploring the Algarve.

Cadre d’exception , maison de qualité avec des hôtes aux petits oignons ( expression française 😂 ! ) Nous avons la chance de ne pas avoir a partagé les installations car nous étions quasiment seuls sur les lieux : Hammam, Jacuzzi, Massage , piscine , Sauna 😍 La Villa est isolée du reste de la ville mais attention ⚠️ il y a 2 ou 3 lodges supplémentaires . En tout cas Mitchel et Selina sont réellement formidables, répondent rapidement aux questionnements du groupe, s’adaptent très rapidement également et sont souriants et pleins de petites attentions agréables : petit déjeuné à plusieurs reprises, bières de bienvenue etc … Merci encore à eux Et j’ai hâte de revenir dans quelques années pour voir les améliorations qui ont été apporté à ce petit coin de paradis 🥰

Great value spot in the algarve. Awesome Location and brilliant property. Would recommend to anyone, particularly large groups

The accommodation was perfect, it was clean, spacious and well equipped. The outside area was the highlight with seating, sun beds, pool and bbq area. Bruno was very helpful and answered questions quickly. The location was a short uber/taxi from the main area (€5) which was no problem for us. A fantastic stay and would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful weeks stay. Everyone was exactly as described. We arrived very late at night but found the villa so easily from the pin drop provided and so easy to access. We received very welcome recommendations for restaurants and activities and tried a number of these which were excellent. We would definitely return as we enjoyed the villa so much.

This house has a gorgeous view of the sea! Perched high on the cliff and only a few feet from steps that leads directly to a first rate restaurant and direct access to the beach with shops, restaurants and bars. Each of the four bedrooms has a sea view and an ensuite bathroom! The outdoor areas are spacious, with quality furniture and pool loungers...and the pool is sparkling, clean and in great condition!! There is a Nespresso machine but be sure to bring your own pods if you are staying long.There are none at the local grocery store to buy. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with plenty of cups, glasses, plates, bowls, and silverware. We rented the unit in late May during an annual fly hatching season. We had to deal with thousands of flies in the house when we arrived. We were given warning by the owner a few days before arrival. This is not something that can be controlled as it is a seasonable problem, but you should be aware of this if you plan to travel around that time

Villa 1 was great! Cozy, clean, and thoughtfully appointed. The yard/pool was great. Directions were via coordinates but they were accurate and we had no issues. Close to local beaches but far enough from the commotion near the beach so that we had quiet. Appreciate the. recommendations! There are definitely tourist traps in the area so the recommendations were great. Would come back

La maison de Mildred et d’Alex, et le terrain qui l’entoure, est un véritable coin de paradis. C’est une maison qui a été très bien conçue et qui est faite pour y vivre. Tout y est impeccable et mieux que sur les photos. Au printemps, la vue sur les fleurs, les collines et le ciel étoilé, est très apaisante. La maison est près de tout. La rencontre avec Mildred et Alex a été un vrai plaisir. Leur fille Emay, aussi sympathique et efficace, répond aux demandes et transmet l’information très rapidement. Sans oublier les chiens Lilly et Louis qui sont adorables. À ce jour, il s’agit de l’une de nos meilleures expériences Airbnb ! Nous espérons y retourner bientôt.

The moment we arrived we were given a warm welcome from Carla’s mother Fernanda. Fernanda was extremely friendly and gave us a thorough tour of the property. The villa was stunning and the location was beautiful and peaceful with vibrant flowers with many birds swooping around. This is was our first holiday with our 14 month old baby girl and the villa was perfect for us with everything we needed and more. A wonderful cot was supplied and the rooms were very comfortable. The area was quiet with local shops, coffee shop and small restaurants within walking distance.Everything else we needed was just a 15 minute drive away including the town of Tavira. The nearest beach was just a 10 minute drive to a charming train (perfect for the kids) which takes you across the river which separates the beach. Would highly recommend this place for any family’s looking to explore the algarve and we could not be happier guests. Both Carla and Fernanda should be proud hosts.

This place is fantastic. It is in a remote area; very peaceful and relaxing. The house has a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, nice bedding and nice wine glasses. We enjoyed dinners at the great outdoor table every night. I only wish we were there for more time. Highly recommend!

We had the most magical time at Casa Stardust! It really is a special place. It’s wonderful gardens, which just keep on giving.. every corner you turn provides another tranquil resting area. The kids absolutely loved exploring and visiting the turtles & frogs in the pond & loved making friends with the resident rooster and his ladies💕 The beaches nearby are family friendly and there are lots of different options, the local restaurants & towns are wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! ✨✨

Wonderful house, with lots of space for outdoors activities, close to Loule where there are there is lots of wonderful restaurants and culture. We really enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend!

Nous avons passé une excellente semaine en famille ! La maison est propre, le service est de qualité irréprochable (il ne nous manquait rien) et l’emplacement est au calme. Le seul petit défaut serait peut être l’accessibilité du logement mais à part ça c’était parfait !

Leanor's place was amazing and the photos do not do it justice. It was like a holiday on a filmset. There were so many activities for the children as well as plenty of spaces and nooks for the adults. The kitchen was well supplied with appliances and crockery and it was only a 5 minute drive to the supermarket and shops. We highly recommend the home. Janice
