Villa holiday rentals in São Bartolomeu de Messines

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:)

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.

Very welcoming place, surrounded by nature, which provides a relaxing stay! From the reception to the room, everything was very organized and sanitized. Dinner was well served with the disposition of a fantastic team. We cannot fail to mention the employee Erika for the helpful service she provided throughout the stay. Without a doubt, an experience to be repeated, as we left the place with immense nostalgia.

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

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

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.

We had the most amazing time, so much to see and do around Monchique. The pool and home was so clean and well designed, it had everything we needed for our stay. Thank you James for all your help in making our stay extra special. Will be back again soon!

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.

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.

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!

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!

We had an amazing stay! Would highly recommend to anyone!

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!

If you're looking for a place to stay near Praia da Arrifana, book Lyn's beautiful home - you won't regret it! We were there during a major storm, and even with poor weather we had an absolutely wonderful time. The house is very spacious and comfortably decorated, with an extremely well-equipped kitchen for cooking (a huge plus for us). The house is walking distance from the beach and the Rota Vicentina hiking trails, and there's a good supermarket just a few minutes away by car. Lyn and Mariana were very easy to communicate with and helpful...we'd love to go back some time!

We spent a total of two weeks in the accommodation with adults plus small children. The house and the surroundings left nothing to be desired. The kitchen equipment and the furnishings of the premises were great, each room has its own bathroom, everything was very clean and well maintained. We felt immediately comfortable and were able to relax very well. The area and the (natural) pool invited you to linger, but great beaches or restaurants are also easy to reach by car. The communication and check-in went perfectly. The accommodation is absolutely recommended, we had a great time and would come back anytime.

Returning to this luxury property feels like coming home. The hosts and Laura, go above and beyond to ensure each stay surpasses the last. Their attention to detail, proactive communication, and warm hospitality make every visit exceptional. I'm grateful for the consistency and quality of care they provide and look forward to many more stays. Highly recommended for those seeking a truly attentive and luxurious experience. Thanks again for another perfect visit!

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 absolutely loved Sergio’s villa, it had everything we needed, with magnificent views across the valley. It was sooo peasant and pleasant. The kids loved the heated pool and the garden. We will be back!!!!

The house is very nice. Is in the new building area( there are still some houses being built). We were warmly welcomed by Maria. She explained and showed us everything. Also gave us many great tips. Restaurants, sights, etc. She was always available for us. Salt, pepper and oil were also on site( not as some wrote it). There were 8 of us in the house( adults) had enough utensils and dishes. Washing machine was also used:-) Each bathroom was equipped with shampoo and soap. We liked it a lot. Thank you.

Joana was a fantastic host and the property was perfect. There’s a lovely coffee shop just down the road with extremely helpful staff. The property had everything you need and is abundantly spacious. Joana is so helpful with her recommendations. We had a 16month old with us and no question or request was too much. I especially loved the baby friendly features such as the cot (not a travel crib) and the highchair. You’re a short distance to supermarkets beaches and restaurants but far enough out to feel peaceful. We will 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

Wow! What an amazing place to stay! We couldn't believe how beautiful this place is. House, garden, pool, the view over the mountains and the quiteness where absolut fantastic. 25 minutes by car to Faro beach just by to the airport. We would definitely come back. Our little kids loved the place as well.

We had such a wonderful week at Villa Ocean Dreams! Giuliana’s home was even more beautiful and spacious than the photos! The location was fantastic with the beach so close and the boardwalk to walk into the marina or town right across the street. The pool and hot tub made our week even better. We spent much of our time in the comfortable gathering areas by the pool, under the shade and awnings upstairs and downstairs, or playing games in the evening at the dining table. All of the beds were very comfortable and the air conditioning was perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals for our group of five and was so well stocked with cooking utensils and appliances. Giuliana was so helpful and welcoming, making us feel right at home.

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!
