Villa holiday rentals in Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo

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!

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.

We loved our stay at Terwest and really didn’t want to leave. Everything is perfect, the Villa, the views, the facilities and Sao Bras. We are already booking for summer next year but next time for longer, wish it could be forever!

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.

Me and some family members were lucky to find this villa for my sisters wedding. The check in was very easy as a key was left in a lockbox upon our arrival. The villa is even more beautiful in person and has an amazing view of the sunset at night from the garden. The pool was perfect temperature and the garden has the sun from morning till night. The kitchen has everything you would need. And the bedrooms are a good size with comfy beds. I would highly recommend staying at this villa if you’re looking for somewhere to stay a stones throw away from the town centre but just far enough out to enjoy the beautiful view and peace. Thank your again for our amazing stay at Vila Atlantico.

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

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 😎

Excellent villa with an excellent host! would use the villa and Kinga again in the future. Thank you Kinga for the warm welcome and the unexpected welcome pack with groceries. Very easy to communicate with when needed! Thank you again. The Stewart

A really lovely villa, photos don’t really do it justice. It’s very spacious and there was plenty of room for our group, 6 adults and 3 young children. The pool and play area were very popular. Lisa and David were great hosts. They provided everything we needed and more and were very good with communication and info. Some lovely personal touches for our stay left in the villa too which were much appreciated. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this villa and hope to return again sometime.

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!

Exceptional setting, quality home with hosts with onions (French expression😂! ) We are fortunate not to have shared the facilities because we were almost alone on the premises: Hammam, Jacuzzi, Massage , pool , Sauna 😍 The Villa is isolated from the rest of the city but ⚠️ be careful there are 2 or 3 additional lodges. In any case Mitchel and Selina are really great, respond quickly to the group's questions, adapt very quickly too and are smiling and full of nice little touches: breakfast several times, welcome beers etc ... Thanks again to them And I can't wait to come back in a few years to see the improvements that have been made to this little corner of heaven 🥰

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!

Great time at a beautiful villa, perfect for a large group. Ubers and taxi only 15/20 mins to busy location. 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

We were a family group of 8. Two parents of three adult children and their partners. Susana was a super helpful host, answering any queries beforehand and offering suggestions. She organised our transfers to and from the airport. The villa was stunning, bedrooms were spacious and spotlessly clean. The outside pool area was a great relaxing and sociable space. Plenty of sun-loungers. It’s a 15 minute stroll downhill to the local Marina which hosts many bars and restaurants. Ubers are plentiful and so reasonably priced so it was always an Uber back uphill for us! Susana always answered any questions within a couple of hours. Nothing was too much trouble - we even had a welcome basket of goodies upon our arrival which was such a kind gesture. Albufeira old town is approximately 10 mins away in an Uber costing around €5/6. The local supermarket was a 5 minute journey. Would return without hesitation.

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!

What an amazing place! Looks exactly like the photos - we all absolutely loved it. We’ll be back! It’s a 30 min walk into town or a 4euro taxi.

Lovely, clean villa with all you need. Lovely large plot down a tight lane. Was right next to the railway line but didnt really notice it anymore than the planes or dogs barking occasionally. We were unlucky in the fact that they did railway maintenance on the track at 3am on 3 nights. We were there while the electric outage happened. The host brought us a torch. Top tip make sure you have cash available. There were plenty of loungers to relax around the pool. Recommend a stay at the villa. Added bonus good wi fi and netflix. Very good communication.

For us, the nearby park was perfect for walking the dog. We liked the location very much, it is nice and quiet. Also within walking distance to Olhão center. Communication with the host works perfectly. The apartment has everything you need. We had a very good time here!

Mildred and Alex's house, and the surrounding grounds, is a real slice of paradise. This is a house that has been very well designed and made to live there. Everything is spotless and better than the pictures. In spring, the view of the flowers, the hills and the starry sky, is very soothing. The house is close to everything. The meeting with Mildred and Alex was a real pleasure. Their daughter Emay, so friendly and efficient, responds to requests and transmits information very quickly. Not to mention the dogs Lilly and Louis who are adorable. To date, this is one of our best Airbnb Experiences! We hope to come back again again soon.

Olhos De Agua is situated at one end of the Falesia beach a beautiful 6km walk from Villamoura. The villa is very close to a supermarket, local beaches and lots of great cafes and restaurants. It's less than 10 mins into Albufeira too. The villa is very spacious, the rooms are large, the beds are comfortable and clean. Getting around is easy by bus or Uber. Carlos was very attentive, he allowed us in early and out late. We had one problen which he was unable to fix with the air con upstairs. If you are large group and want a spacious villa with your own pool and a pool table and table tennis this is a great option. There is a building site over the road, thet were bricking when we were there so it wasn't very noisy

Villa Verde looks exactly like the listing. It’s so peaceful there - we hardly left the place! The pool is bigger and deeper than it looks in the pics! Outdoor kitchen and shower are a great bonus. Perfect facilities for a family holiday, including really useful baby/toddler stuff.

A beautiful villa with a huge pool surrounded by beautiful countryside. The kids loved exploring & the hosts were very responsive with a few issues which arose. We would love to return!
