Villa vacation rentals in Olhão

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 thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Even with bad weather the pool is warm and the setting is wonderful. We will book again in a sunnier month!

We had a great stay in the Villa. It matched our expectations. Everything was clean and well maintained. Some of the decor was older but well kept. We thoroughly enjoyed swimming in the pool, relaxing by the outside seating areas and suntanning in the private outdoor area. Thank you kindly for having us. All the best!

We’ve just returned from a fantastic week at this villa. It’s incredibly private, set off a quiet dirt track with beautiful surroundings, perfect for a peaceful and relaxing stay. Maria was a wonderful host, super responsive and helpful from start to finish. She even checked in before our arrival to see if we needed anything and kindly arranged for a cleaner mid-stay, which was a really nice touch. The location is great, just 20 minutes from both Vilamoura and Albufeira, and there’s also a lovely local beach with a few nice restaurants nearby. We’d definitely stay again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to all.

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

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!

Jonathan & Sandra were fantastic hosts. swift and responsive from first enquiry to check out. very considerate hosts, gave local recommendations and provided flexibility. . Everything we needed there, and assistance was available through Greet who met us on arrival and departure and kindly brought additional equipment (scales and large mixer) to us to bake cakes, even bringing extra games suitable for our disabled child. Discreet and also available for anything we needed. The villa was beautiful, the surroundings and grounds breathtaking. Shops a 5 minute drive and all we wanted to see was within 30 minutes, although mainly stayed in and soaked up the serene magic of this location. we didn't hire a car, we used Uber which was easy, reasonable and straightforward. 5 euros to the local supermarket, 15-20 euros to the mar shopping complex, 25 euros to Tavira. An incredible place, wonderful hosts and a firm favourite with our family. thank you so much for everything. ❤

We’ve just returned from a week at this amazing villa. It’s perfect for a family break and we’ve already looked at booking it again next year. Our little girl loved the poole and there were plenty of floating toys left by previous guests as well as the ones we left ourselves. If you’re going shopping for food the supermarket continenta about 15 mins away is great whilst the nearby aldi has little choice and empty shelves. There is an Italian pizzeria at the bottom of the road which is very nice but a little bit expensive. The chopping boards are in the draw near the sink, it took us a few days to find them. This was our first villa holiday and I won’t go back to a package holiday after this. The hosts were helpful and polite throughout. There is a mention of a nearby building site and noise but you can barely hear them.

Very nice villa, great pool (glad we heated it!) and lots of space for our 13-person group. Bathrooms were splendid. It could have a bit more cleaning equipment for guests to use during stay, while parts of the plot aren’t as easy/safe for our 1.5yr old baby to walk around. Other than that: great! Hence, 5*

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!

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!

Great place, very well furnished, including basic groceries which makes a big difference, also looks exactly like the photos. The host is proactive, friendly and always available and responsive. Clean, tidy, spacious, peaceful . We had a lovely stay, hope to be back!

Micky and Silvia came across as a lovely couple and very friendly we had a little problem with my sister locking herself out of one of the apartments Micky acame over and sorted it immediately thank you again. The Villa is a fabulous place very peaceful very modern but it needs a few little tweaks like better pillows more cups the sofa beds in the studio apartments are uncomfortable. We took the whole family 11 of us in total. A great week

Had a wonderful stay with family and friends. Perfect to share with friends and their children. Such a beautiful villa and the grounds were perfect! The views were incredible and a lovely, responsive host! If only the weather could have been better for us! Would definitely visit again!

Beautiful villa, great host Marco was always responsive to any questions we had , and couldn't be more helpful. Good location to beach and lots of nice restaurants. Portuguese are very helpful and lovely . Would highly 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.

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.

One of the most beautiful Airbnbs we have ever stayed in! I couldn't recommend it enough and hope to return. The space is even better than the photos, with each apartment having their own kitchenette & bathroom. The backyard was incredible and made for an amazing space to spend time with family. The property manager, Ines, was extremely welcoming and responsive. If you're considering renting Casa Bela Vida - it's a must!

We had a fantastic time at Annick's place which provided everything we needed for 4 adults and 3 teenagers. The home was well equipped and very comfortable and the outside space was incredible. The 12m pool was a real joy but also lots of outside seating arrangements to be in the sun or the shade. The views were beautiful day and night and it felt very private and secluded. We would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

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! ✨✨

A fab stay from start to finish. Rafael and Anna-Sophie were excellent hosts, very responsive and super flexible around our arrival time which was late in the evening. The apartment was very well-equipped and has been designed in a clever way to make the most of the space – it actually feels much bigger than it looks in the photos. The patio balcony with a BBQ was perfect for al-fresco dining, the gardens have been beautifully maintained and the swimming pool was perfect for a hot summers day. You can easily reach the towns of Boliqueime and Loulé by car and the coast is only a c. 20 min drive away. Would definitely recommend, thank you!

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.

The villa was fantastic, even better than the pictures. All the rooms were fresh and clean and the outdoor areas and pool are fantastic. Everything from the arrival, friendly welcome and response to queries was all of the highest standard. The villa is in a quiet area and backs onto the golf course, its private and a joy to stay there and there is very well equipped with everything you could need. I was there with my two daughters and they loved it, I didn't hire a car and used UBER to get around the area which is very easy and cheap to use. The marina is only 5 minutes away where there are lots to see and do with an abundance of restaurants to chose from. A fantastic villa that wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

My 6 friends and I had an amazing 5 nights here (all women in our 20s and we felt really safe). We used a mixture of Bolt and Uber to get into Old Town & New Town which was cheap. You can walk to New Town easily too. We used Uber Eats a lot which was really helpful. The villa is stunning, spacious and extremely clean. The heated pool was a huge bonus as some days it was a bit chilly. Nuno was extremely helpful and all instructions and rules were very clear. We hope to come again one day!
