Holiday rentals with beach access in Vila Real de Santo António

A beautiful tiny home in an idyllic setting! Fatima is an excellent host, very warm and welcoming. The fresh orange juice made onsite was a highlight, and the gardens spanning the property were lovely. Photos can’t quite capture the magic! The space is very small, so is certainly cozy for two people plus luggage. The kitchen is helpful for simple meals. We were provided with ample towels and comfortable sheets. Also, there is a tourist tax to be payed in cash during your stay that is not included in the Airbnb charge. The property is in a rural setting, but within driving distance to numerous towns, including Tavira and Fuseta. We enjoyed a fresh fish dinner in Fuseta at a restaurant recommended by Fatima.

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment! The absolutely stunning sea view is breathtaking, and the long sandy beach just across the street made it easy to enjoy the seaside every day. The location is fantastic—full of great restaurants and even places to rent bikes, so you can easily explore the beautiful coastline on two wheels. The apartment itself is clean, fresh, and modern, with all the kitchen appliances you need to cook comfortably. The bed is really comfy, and I loved that there were some books and even table games available for relaxing evenings in. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, I highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable seaside getaway!

Beautiful place and area.

Aníbal and his wife are such a lovely couple and are most helpful in providing information on what to see, how to get there and where to eat. The apartment is charming and cosy and the terrace is lovely. The minute we walked in we felt very much at home. Location is great - everywhere is walkable. It’s just across from the neighborhood bakery that we had breakfast there. We walked to the boat jetty to take a short ride to the lovely beaches of Tavira island. Altogether a wonderful time in Tavira. And we’ll certainly recommend Anibal’s place.

This is our 3rd time staying in this apartment . We love it ! Great host , great communication, great location . Just another perfect stay and we e already booked again for next year . Thank you xx

We spent our vacation in this great beach apartment for the 2nd time and enjoyed Mark's hospitality. The apartment is perfect for our needs: On the one hand, this wonderful Praia da Falesia is "on the doorstep", on the other hand, you can quickly reach the west and east of Portugal by car to discover other beautiful places in the Algarve. Bars, restaurants and supermarkets are in the immediate vicinity and there is also an excellent cocktail bar with tapas to end a nice summer evening. We will be happy to come back.

Host was very responsive & met us to walk us into the place. The photo for check in needed updating, it’s now at KK’s Thai Massage for a more accurate entrance area, but we rented a car and had free parking right in front (limited but got lucky!) Place was very clean and the balcony was the perfect spot for our morning coffee and resting at night. We walked to all the shops, pleasantly surprised just how much there was to do around! We ate at Terrazo Italian, incredible food! Beach was beautiful, definitely don’t suggest having a large suitcase tho for parking or elevator access :) Otherwise host was super nice, place was super clean & definitely bang for the buck for an air bnb.

Very nice apartment studio only some footsteps away from the center. Small balcony to have breakfast or chill after a busy day. Nice beaches within a 15 minutes drive. Susana is a very nice host, professional and friendly. We recommend this apartment as a top choice for Tavira and would return any time.

The house to disengage, in simplicity, refreshing. It is very well equipped with dishes, linens, we have the impression of arriving at friends who have left everything available. The big plus is this beautiful beach 2 steps away . It just went too fast

Everything was lovely, the only thing I would say is that for a place really close to the beach there wasn’t beach towels neither cooler boxes to take to the beach, and there wasn’t much utensils to work the barbecue, but we made due with what we had. All in all amazing place would stay again.

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!

We stayed here for a week and it was perfect! The beaches are only a 15-20 minute walk away or a 10 minute bike ride! Definitely recommend that. The house is great and the garden is beautiful! The plunge pool was perfect for the hot days! I would 100% recommend this place :)

We had a great time in Derek's beautiful house! If you are looking for peace and quiet and want to enjoy Portuguese life, you have come to the right place. The house is beautifully renovated, cozily furnished, superbly equipped and was absolutely clean. It is also special that we found water, wine, coffee, fruit, shower bath and much more already in the house. Derek welcomed us very kindly, was always available and took care of everything. The terrace with the hot tub is a dream and the location of the house in the small, beautiful Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo is also great. From here you can quickly reach Tavira, Olhão, Fuseta or Faro and the beaches of the Sandalgarve. Thanks for the great time, Derek! We felt very comfortable :)

We are just back from a week's stay and would highly recommend this house & would like thank Cristina & Salvador. The location is very central and close to all the restaurants / cafes & shops. Also it was a short walk to the boat out to Tavira Island & the Train station in Tavira which we recommend for day trips. Eating in was made all the easier with all the local fresh produce found at the market and the roof top terrace made for relaxing peaceful evenings.

Our stay at Villa La Caleta was fantastic. The house is even more impressive in person—beautifully designed, well-equipped, and with a really welcoming atmosphere that made us feel comfortable right away. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach in a quiet, family-friendly area. Whether you want to relax, explore, or just enjoy a nice evening at home, this place has everything you need. Francisco was a great host—super responsive and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway by the beach, this is definitely a place to consider. Will absolutely stay here again!

Such a great place to stay in Faro. Perfect location, quite a quiet road but close to the harbour and shops and cafes. The beds were very very comfortable and the place was squeaky clean. Very much recommended for a stay in Faro.

I can’t praise/recommend this property and Susana as our host enough, we were a group of 4 female friends travelling for a long weekend break away, from fantastic communication to flexible check in times, spotlessly clean apartment and complex, great accessories provided including pool towels and umbrella, everything is as described, the pictures do not do it justice, the apartment is much bigger than you expect with 2 balconies each side catching sunrise and sunset. We walked downhill to the marina and local supermarket/bar & restaurant and easily ordered Ubers back up to the complex, only costing a couple of Euros. An Uber into Old Town is just as easy to order costing approx 7€. The complex is very secure with gated/key access, it is quiet and respectful with a security guard walking round day and evening. We have had a fantastic trip and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Susana again, thank you so much.

Favorite of the stay, very clean apartment, a super nice terrace with ocean view. The beach is across the street, I highly recommend it

We would recommend this to anyone looking for a first class apartment in a fairly quiet location. The top floor balcony gives access for al fresco dining, sunbathing and evening chilling. The views are simply stunning. the apartment is perfectly located for a few bars, restaurants, and supermarkets. all literally outside your main door. The apartment itself is modern, spacious and perfect. we've stayed in a lot of Airbnbs and this ranks as one of the very best. also the downloadable instructions to get in are fool proof!! thank you

Communication with Karine was perfect and the accommodation very nice. Everything matched the description and images. Thank you, we will be happy to come back.

What a wonderful apartment,everything you needed for a long or short stay , bed was very comfortable,pillows were so good I went and bought same ones from ikea to take home . Bathroom was very nice ,large living room and bedroom ,2 min walk to supermarket,15 min walk from Tavira .Easy to use Uber to get taxi to mar shopping center in Almancil around 23 euro each way .Had a great holiday in this apartment

João was an amazing host! He helped us bring luggage in and left only after thoroughly explaining different “hacks” for the space and the local area. He provided us with a list of things we may want to check knout and still checked in most days to see if he could help in any way and provided additional recommendations. The place is also centrally located with lots to do and eat nearby. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Miguel was so great to work with. We had a tired and hot kids, and I did not read the directions for entry. Host was so helpful getting us in. Property was so beautiful, and area has so much to explore, as well as live music. Read the directions for entry, much easier to work through if you do that before you arrive. The tech of the building is so cool, as well as the layout of the condo. Would definitely return here. They had some great kids toys and the pool was perfect.

The place was gorgeous, right next to the beach. The balcony was our favorite part about the apartment, we enjoyed every single evening there. Thank you for a little welcome package! Would definitely come back anytime in Albufeira.
