Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Porches

We spent a lovely stay at this villa. Very well maintained, very clean and comfortable - located in a very nice pine tree private condominium with other villas near by. It can accommodate 10/12 people with plenty of space. Kitchen has been renovated this past winter, and most of the kitchen appliances are new. It has AC in all areas which is perfect for summer and winter months. The garden is very nice and the swimming pool with plenty of sun! Hosts are amazing and did everything they could to meet our needs. They also supported us with suggestions and requests prior our stay! We cannot ask for more, and we will come back definitely next year.

We loved our stay at the Villa. It is in an absolutely beautiful area, with beautiful views of the sea from the pool. The bedrooms are excellent, with loads of space in the kitchen and living area. Our favourite things were the SONOS sound system and the Barbecue, both made our trip superb. The padel court is a bit of walk but well worth playing- and of course, it’s very easy to get taxis. And then both of the hosts, Anders and Diego were extremely helpful. Both extremely responsive at all times and made our stay even better. We will definitely try to come back next year, everyone in my group had the best time!

We had the most amazing stay at Carmen’s place! She was a wonderfully helpful and friendly host - nothing was too much trouble. We were a mixed age group of 15 for a hen do and it was the perfect place to relax all together. The pool was amazing, the house was spotless and well equipped. Carmen was so helpful with local recommendations, and helped us pick our local restaurant and entertainment for at the villa too. Very well connected by using Ubers for getting things from the supermarket. We loved our trip, and we are so grateful for such a wonderful host. I would book again if I was ever back in the area.

We stayed a week at Sophie's place and it was super nice and relaxing! We felt very comfortable. What you should know, the apartment is a few meters above the street, so you should be fit enough for the path. We managed it with suitcases without any problems. The bathroom is very small, but everything is feasible. The kitchen was really super equipped. Restaurants and groceries are within walking distance, Sophie was always available to help!

We had booked it for my 70th with all our family. Unfortunately my husband too ill and wasn’t allowed to fly. The rest of the family and grandchildren had the best time. The villa was as it was in the pictures, spacious and clean. The pool was spotless as the pool cleaner came to keep it maintained. It’s the first time my family had been to Portugal and they just loved it and would recommend anyone booking this villa would be very happy. They are due back today and the feedback from them has been very good. Infact we might just book this for next year. Steve and Natalie have been amazing hosts. We all would Definitely Highly Recommend this Villa and Location. 5 Star ⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

7 friends had a great stay at this villa. It's so spacious, and great views with a great pool area. It's easy and cheap to get into town through Ubers (5 euro), and just a great place to relax. The rooms were all nice and big with en-suites, and showers were good. Kitchen was well stocked as well, and we had lots of BBQs - which being gas was quick and convenient. Highly recommend to friends and/or families that would want to say. You'd struggle to find any problems with this place.

Very nice place, centrally located. Great communication with the hosts! Would definitely come back

Wish we could have stayed for a month! Claudia was wonderful! What a little gem she has! Perfectly decorated, everything we needed, clean, comfortable, it was a perfect stay!

We had a lovely stay at Harald’s place. After exploring many of the beautiful beaches in the area we loved the one nearest to our house. The neighborhood is peaceful and just a short walk from amazing beach. The pool was beautiful and large and warm enough to use during our whole visit. The house is very spacious and the en-suite bathrooms were a luxury when traveling with teenage girls! Harald was responsive and friendly. We will definitely book our next vacation rental from him.

Excellent stay. Rui was very responsive and helpful. It does require for you to know exactly when you are arriving and leaving as there is no remote access. The place was beautiful, clean, modern and with easy access to old town Albufeira. Would 100% recommend to everyone looking to visit Albufeira but also have options for private pool, great views and walkable to both old town Albufeira.

Had a great time at Elisa's place. The space was clean, comfortable, and as described. Elisa is a welcoming and responsive host. I recommend it without hesitating!

What a wonderful place to stay! Johann greeted us upon arrival and departed! His place was one of a kind & you could tell the love that went into this place. We hope to be back again soon!

The pictures do not do justice for this place. There are mulberry trees, fig trees, almond trees, strawberry plant, herb garden, and so much more. Sitting outside you can enjoy the beautiful Mountain View along with view of the ocean . Miriam was always very responsive to all our questions. We were a family of 5: 23& 22 year old girls & our 15 year old son. They enjoyed the clean pool and the scenery as well. We were all sad leaving this airbn.

Dear Tiago, May 2025, the Netherlands We would like to thank you for the pleasant stay we had at Villa Bonita. We greatly enjoyed our time there! Your communication before and during our stay was very pleasant and clear – that reassured us very much. The villa itself is beautifully located, with a magnificent view and a wonderful swimming pool that we have been able to enjoy to the fullest. Everything was taken care of to the last detail. Thank you for your hospitality and good care. We look back with great pleasure on this holiday, and who knows, we will return in the future. Kind regards, Willem & Miranda Netherlands

Amazing place for relaxing and vacationing! Fantastic house, very tidy, everything works, the house is beautiful, the pool was perfect. Perfect location of the house. Walking distance to the center of Carvoeiro. However, you can have some privacy at the house. The village of Carvoeiro is just lovely. Lots to do and see even though the village is quite small. Great restaurants and lovely cafes. A special mention that the house is next to its own vineyard. Wine is good:) One bottle ready for house renters in the fridge; part of the stay. Our family enjoyed the house so much that our daughters would already like to come back for a couple of weeks. Highly recommend. Antonio was also nice as a host. Friendly and considerate.

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.

Gorgeous beach just a little walk away. Town is very nice w beach bars etc. house has awesome views. Views when in pool are not good due to wall. Suggest to maybe put up acrylic wall? Host was super responsive. We loved our stay at this very large house!

The apartment is located in a spectacular area, the object of many visits due to the fantastic views. The location is exceptional, you can walk to supermarket and beach and there are several areas very close to leaving our vehicle. The orientation of the apartment, without being exactly a first line, allows you to enjoy the sea in a fantastic way from the side balcony you have, very well adapted to comfortably enjoy a refreshment or a coffee, as well as from the terrace located at the entrance to the apartment equipped with comfortable furniture to relax looking at the Sea. The interaction with the hostess has been close and agile from the first moment and the apartment is beautiful, tastefully renovated, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living room with everything you need to relax and the beds very comfortable, in short it seemed a great option in all aspects. We traveled with our pet and had a great time.

Ana is the perfect host, very attentive and helps us with any problems. We can count on her, she wants our well-being and for everything to be perfect. Her house is in a great location. It's better to have a car to best explore this beautiful part of the Algarve. Thank🙂 you Ana!

Good accommodation especially for children but rather in the spring, summer, fall ,) Without a car, it's rather isolated on campus … in general, Portugal has to think about how to become more bicycle-friendly Also with the food - restaurants in the area, the typical Portuguese cuisine is missed - yes yes pizza, hamburgers etc. can be found but that can't be it There was plenty of sun, but somehow I couldn't find the heart of Portugal - maybe my mistake or the global just takes over and rolls over the Portuguese Agradeço

Everything was perfect!

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!

Actually, so much has already been written about this great Airbnb. We agree with ALL positive reviews. If you're planning a personalized vacation in the Algarve, book here. It was fantastic. Our life in the almost 2 weeks took place mostly outside. It is so nice to enjoy the first coffee/tea on the roof terrace in the morning or the wine in the evening. Our 2nd favorite place was the courtyard with kitchen counter. We loved having breakfast here and enjoying the affogato in between. We had planned not to cook. However, it was so much fun in this well-equipped kitchen. So there were small dishes or salads in the evening. Restaurants, the small market hall, the local grocery stores and 2 discount stores are within walking distance. We enjoyed Silves very much. There are good opportunities to shop for beautiful things here. Thank you Marta + Levi for the communication + the new dishwasher

Great apartment just minutes from the beach with every amenity available for a family for a great holiday. Hosts do go the extra step with nice touches like a throw basket for cold nights on the couch! Recommend!
