Villa vacation rentals in Praia da Galé

We were a large group, with 8 adults and 2 children (1 and 3 years old). We had a great two weeks in the villa. The property really has everything you need to spend a great summer-sun-fun vacation. The most beautiful beaches can be reached within 10 minutes by car, e.g. Praia Marinha. The kitchen is equipped with everything your heart desires, incl. Juicer, coffee machine, etc... For us, baking pizza 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 we reported them. The property managers are in constant contact, so you can actually ask questions all the time. If you don't feel compelled to go out into the surrounding area, you only have to leave the villa for shopping :)

Exceptional setting, quality home with hosts with onions (French expression😂! ) We are fortunate not to have shared the facilities because we were almost alone on the premises: Hammam, Jacuzzi, Massage , pool , Sauna 😍 The Villa is isolated from the rest of the city but ⚠️ be careful there are 2 or 3 additional lodges. In any case Mitchel and Selina are really great, respond quickly to the group's questions, adapt very quickly too and are smiling and full of nice little touches: breakfast several times, welcome beers etc ... Thanks again And I can't wait to come back in a few years to see the improvements that have been made to this little corner of heaven 🥰

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!

I cannot praise Antonio and this villa enough! It saved our holiday. We contacted Antonio after our original villa booking was not suitable, so we desperately needed somewhere else to go. We luckily found this place and it was perfect! Firstly Antonio was amazing, we took a taxi from our original booking and met him at the local Supermarket which is just around the corner from the villa, so he could show us the way. Once inside he showed us around and how everything worked and gave us some good restaurant recommendations. He left us a bottle of delicious wine from his own Vineyard, a lovely detail after all the stress. The villa itself is stunning, nice big pool, big clean rooms each with a bathroom, which suited us and our 3 teenagers. The beach is a 2 minute walk and has a really chilled surfy vibe. There’s a pizza restaurant on the walk to the beach which is superb. Next door to that a cool little bar/cafe and at least 5 really good restaurants on the beach. 100% will be back!

Casa Mu is a beautiful home with zen like qualities and an expansive view. We were staying at the house during the black out. Matthijs reached out to us while the cell towers were still live and came by to open the gates manually so we could get back to the house. Yannick stopped by later in the day to give us updates. The home has a Big Green egg and we had bought charcoal the day we arrived so we were able to cook dinner. Thankfully power was down for only a short time. Casa Mu has one of the best equipped kitchens I’ve ever seen in a rental. We bought oranges and limes from a roadside stand and made fresh juice using the electric juicer. Beds are super comfortable and bathrooms well equipped. I would suggest bringing bar soap for the shower. There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room to hang out both inside and outside the house. The pool is not heated, but I did go in. A bit bracing, but not too cold. For food shopping, go to Apolonia in Lagoa. Great store that has all you need

The house is very nice. It is located in the new building area (there are still some houses to be built). We were warmly welcomed by Maria. She explained and showed us everything. Also gave us many great tips. Restaurants, sights, etc. She was also always available to us. Salt, pepper and oil were also on site (not like some have written). There were 8 of us in the house (adults) and we had enough cutlery and dishes. Washing machine was also used :-) Each bathroom was equipped with shampoo and soap. We enjoyed it. Thank you very much.

Oh well, whenever you come across superlatives on Airbnb you'd get suspicious. This home and the warm-felt welcoming of Agi found no challenger during all our time booking by Airbnb. This was a heavenly calm, beautiful place. We'd not only love to come back but stay forever. Thank you for giving us the opportunity and taking the extra time to show us around.

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

The most amazing place we’ve ever stayed. We travel as a family of 7 and use Airbnb regularly all over the world. This is the best presented, best location, so close to fun experiences, history, culture, beaches. We all loved it and wish we’d stayed longer. The house is beautiful, well thought out and stunningly decorated, with well curated art. It felt like home much more than the average Airbnb experience. Highly recommended.

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!

Our stay ( we had 5 adults) was two nights as we just had a few days to visit Albufeira. The location was truly only about a 10-15 minute walk to the beach and restaurants and stores for shopping. We had a car but did not need to use it due to location which was so nice. Mariola was so responsive to our requests and answered all questions very quickly . They even stopped by to show us how to use a few of the electronics! I would totally stay here again if the opportunity came.

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

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.

What a fantastic property and location. We had high expectations from the photos and price, but they were met and more. Modern with all of the amenities: cooking essentials, beach gear / toys, towels, beers if you're lucky the previous guest didn't finish them! Wendy and Manel are very responsive (when asked - not interfering!) and I am so glad they have shared their home with us for a week. We've walked the coastal path on past visits and wondered what it would be like to live in one of the villas right next to it... Now we know and want to do it again!

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!

amazing villa. had such a great 5 days here. villa is stunning and hosts were excellent. swimming pool was a lovely temperature and villa was exactly as described. we would love to stay there again! only slight negative was it was very hot and although there was no air conditioning.(which we were aware of) the fans in the bedrooms could be a bit better!

My friends and I had a wonderful long weekend in the villa. The house was just as imagined and the pool and outside area exceeded expectations. It was a beautiful and quiet location. There is an Aldi a short walk away for all food and we got taxi’s via Uber to visit the Marina and the old town. The taxi’s were really quick and a good price. They were very responsive to messages before the trip and for the check in details.

Perfect stay in this lovely Villa. I stayed with my pregnant fiance and the walk up the steps from the main square is not so bad, she was well able for it. Villa was great, no complaints at all really and it's so close to the main Old town square (5 mins up steps) but it's also not loud at all. Viktoria was very helpful getting us checked in. Will be happy to stay again next time in Albufeira! Really can't say enough about how convenient the location is!

Great house! Loved that it was walkable to the beach and several restaurants. Everything was clean, pool was amazing, hosts were so kind

Excellent villa with an excellent host! would use the villa and Kinga again in the future. Thank you Kinga for the warm welcome and the unexpected welcome pack with groceries. Very easy to communicate with when needed! Thank you again. The Stewart

Excellent holiday for family of 8, ages 17 to 62. Very peaceful and private, yet only 15 min walk to shops, bars and restaurants. Hire car was helpful although Uber was such good value, would not bother next time. Villa is well laid out and works well for a group, lovely pool area, games area a big hit. Afonso was very responsive when hoover stopped working, very polite and friendly. Aldi is closest shop which offers great value. Also used the local Coviran which is well stocked for a small shop. The Continente at the Algrave Shopping Centre (10 mins in car) has everything you ever need. Would highly recommend, great value.

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.

Fantastic place to stay for a group! Way better than what the pictures look like. Beautiful stay, beautiful place and a very proactive respectful and responsive host!

We have just returned from a 5 day fantastic family holiday to celebrate my wife’s 70th birthday. The villa is absolutely stunning inside & out. Aline was helpful in from start to finish in answering all of questions & making sure there was a cot for my youngest grandson to supplying a portable fan for my youngest son & also extremely helpful in arranging a earlier arrival time. When we arrived Aline’s husband Miguel was at the villa to meet us & show us around & answer any questions that we had. Also there was Whiskey Madeira wine & Port available, which was very kind. The villa is beautiful & it was lovely to spend time in the pool & have a few family barbecue’s. Although the main room is stunning we spent all of the time sitting outside as the weather was beautiful. We even had a peacock visit us in the garden. I would throughly recommend if you are looking at a great place to stay in Portugal this is the place. Not far from the beaches supermarkets or places to visit.
