Holiday rentals in Santa Clara-a-Velha

A truly special place – pure magic! This was one of the most beautiful and peaceful places we’ve ever stayed. Surrounded by nature, mountains, and lovely animals like horses, dogs, and ducks – perfect for unwinding. The natural pond was refreshing, the outdoor kitchen and views were stunning, and the sauna-to-pond experience was unforgettable! Our sleeping hut was simple but had everything we needed. The dogs were a real highlight – super friendly and cuddly. We loved having breakfast and dinner outside every day. Even the outdoor toilet and shower added to the charm. We’ll 100% be back and are already recommending this gem to friends and family. One of a kind!

The villa is exactly as shown in the pictures - beautiful and very well maintained. We were particularly impressed by the fantastic view of the mountains and the wonderful pool, ideal for cooling off. The beach can be reached on foot in about 20 minutes, by car it takes a few minutes. Communication was always fast and helpful, check-in even worked smoothly at 2 a.m. We felt completely comfortable and would be happy to come back!

We had a wonderful holiday in Timo and Christina's cottage! It is beautifully located in the middle of nature, so you can enjoy the silence and the sounds of birds in peace. It is close to the cozy town of Odeceixe and the beach. The cottage was nicely decorated and very complete, it has everything you need. It was clean and we even got a refreshment halfway through our vacation, which was really great! Christina and Timo are very friendly and gave us nice tips. They respond quickly to questions and are pleasant in communication. We would recommend this stay to anyone!

The house was amazing, especially 3 balcony levels, which felt very luxurious, with a great view of the beach and the ocean. The bed in the main bedroom was so comfortable, that I had the best sleep in a long time. I seriously did not want to leave that bed, lol. Great location, 3 min walk to the elevator down to the beach (great help as opposed to taking the stairs up and down), and the old town is also walking distance (10-15 min). Parking is a bit tricky, but we were able to find a spot if not on this street, then on the neighboring streets. The house is well equipped with everything you need (I would also add paper towels and shampoo/conditioner, but we were able to buy those at a grocery store nearby). The communication with the host was very quick and efficient, everything we needed was resolved fast. Welcoming bottle of wine and snacks were also appreciated. I highly recommend this accommodation, you won't be disappointed!

Sandras place was amazing, its right on the beach and a 30 second walk to the restaurants. It was amazing waking up each morning to the sound of the sea, the place has 3 terraces that you can lounge on and the view from the hot tub on the roof is one not to miss. The kitchen is well layed out with all you need if you want to cook. Sandra was very helpful via text if we ever needed her and she gave us recommendations of where to eat etc. We will be returning to stay again for sure.

The house was spotless and corresponds to what is presented. Very nice and welcoming space.

Truly spectacular apartment. Wonderful location equidistant between the Old Town and the Strip, so perfect for guests wanting to visit either, but noise disturbance is minimal. Wonderfully presented, tastefully decorated and modern. Amazing views of the sea and the beach from both balconies. Beach clubs and lots of loungers only a 5 minute walk. A word on Nelson- he is a brilliant host, he managed to accommodate an early check in at short notice and was very quick to respond to any queries we had over the Airbnb app both before and during our stay. We had never stayed in Albufeira prior to this trip but should we return we would come back here without question. The whole experience has been exceptional.

Talurdo is an idyllic space surrounded by nature and peace. I had the most amazing week there with my 11 year old daughter. The space Chris and David have created is welcoming, peaceful, comfortable and full of soul. They are fabulous hosts - attentive whilst giving lots of space. The circus wagon was a super comfortable unique glamping stay, with all the facilities we could need - great cooking spaces, a lovely outdoor bathroom, fantastic numerous comfy outdoor shady spaces and gorgeous natural swimming pond. We rode to the lake with Chris on his gorgeous well-loved and wonderfully safe horses which was amazing; and loved waking up to see and be greeted by the horses, and super friendly dogs and ducks! All the animals are so loving and happy - a real reflection of the energy of this place. We experienced a wonderful sense of connection at Talurdo and chose to spend many days simply staying on site to be in the space. We miss it already and can’t wait to return someday!
