★Beach Studio★ Giant Terrace ★ Perfect for couples
Jonathan was a great host. Super responsive and communicative. The location is close enough to all the bars and restaurants to walk in minutes but far enough to have some quiet. The outdoor terrace was great and the whole place was clean and comfortable. We made a mistake and locked the keys in the bedroom on accident and as to get them retrieved so keep them with you at all times in case the wind blows the door closed. We’d definitely stay again!

Cozy Beach Apartment W/ Sea View, Free Parking &AC
The most beautiful home. Central / walkable location. Very clean and spacious home. Easy check in, navigation and communication with the host. Stunning location. Peaceful and private. Within a 10 minute walk to two beautiful beaches. Ricardo left a long list of recommendations on where to eat, what to do and which spots provided traditional Portuguese experience. Overall 10/10 and highly recommend!

Cozy, warm and joyful apartment
It was a lovely apartment, very clean, comfortable and spacious. We enjoyed having breakfast out on the balcony. It was also close to the old town and marina. We had agreat time and would like to return in the future.

|Downtown Faro|🌈Clean & Sanitized Place! Safety #1
The location was easy to find and it was a 10 minute taxi ride from the airport. The host, Rossimery, was very responsive. Our flight arrived later than expected and she was there to greet us even though it was close to 11pm at night. She was very understanding about the late arrival. The apartment is very spacious and the views are great! The location was also amazing, just a short 5 minute walk to the restaurants, bars and shopping. We would stay here again.

T2 Sea front Quarteira Algarve. 30 m2 terrace
We loved our stay here, it’s just fabulous, everything you need very close by, people very friendly, our second visit to this property and we love it

Timeless Sea II - Apartment
We had a great time. We had a welcoming and smiling host. The instructions were very clear, the apartment very clean and the neighborhood close to the sea. The only downside is the noise of the work during the day but nothing repulsive. It was a pleasure!

Panoramic seaview apartment, center | Beach 2 min
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.

Fantastic beach apartment at Praia da Falesia
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.

Casa d'Òlhão
We really enjoyed our stay at Miguel’s place in lovely Olhão. Hopefully we will have the chance to return again one day soon. Thanks.

Casa Lendro in the historical District of Olhão
This property, and our stay overall, exceeded our expectations. Casa Leandro is a spacious, immaculate and spectacular house. It was so well equipped with everything we needed and a lot of thoughtful extras. We loved the roof terrace and the views from it, and found it easy to walk to the waterfront and around the old town from here. One highlight from our 4 night stay was a flock of flamingos flying right overhead when we were sitting on the roof terrace - amazing. Susanne was super-helpful and quick to respond to messages and check if everything was ok when we arrived. Highly recommended!

Beautiful Villa/ Heated Pool/ Ocean View/ AC/ WiFi
Lovely and peaceful stay and a perfect location to explore the amazing area in and around Tavira, a truly underrated part of the Algarve. The house is perfect for a small family. Very chilled, off the beaten path. Great stay and super easy!

House by the Beach – Spectacular sea view & pool
Asa’s home is a great spot for a family vacation, it is very comfortable, located in a peaceful complex with a beautiful pool and in close proximity (walking distance) to a beautiful beach. The children enjoyed the home so much as it also had a small playground next door to the house. There were two other areas also within a walking distance with restaurants and other beaches. All in all greatly recommended. Thank you for the beautiful visit. 🤍

Casa Latino- Rooftop Jacuzzi- Front beach_ Luxury
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!

Typical, equipped, air-conditioned, near the seafront
A lovely house right in the centre of Olhao. Both Rahima and Raphael were very quick to respond to our messages, particularly on the first night when we had no hot water - Rahima arrived the next day to change the gas cylinder. I am sure that the street is usually very quiet but unfortunately, during our stay, there were road works going on which started at 8 am every morning but there is nothing the host could do about that 🤣. The house has every thing required for an enjoyable stay from beach towels to beach umbrellas/deck chairs and even a shopping trolley. It is close to many restaurants and the pier to the islands. The roof terrace is an added bonus but not as private as we would have liked. The spiral staircase up to it is definitely not suitable for those with mobility difficulties. We would recommend the house for an enjoyable stay in Olhao ☀️

Beautiful fisherman's house in Benagil (+sea view)
We had the absolute best time at this Airbnb. Located right along the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail, this house provided our family with the perfect spot to explore the various beaches easily accessible along the trail. The house also has a very charming (and enclosed) outdoor space my kids loved to plan in when we were getting ready. Stephanie was an outstanding host who communicated very well and ensured we had everything we needed for a great stay. Highly recommend if you want to do some hiking or trail running and visit local beaches. We loved our stay!

#1 Beach House ♡ Ocean View ♡ Rooftop ♡ AC ♡ WiFi
We enjoyed our stay in Albufeira and had an amazing beach day. It was much warmer than predicted. We appreciated the beach bags and towels provided by Marina. A tip if you are taking an uber to the property-ask to be dropped off at Hotel Indigo to save yourself a challenging walk with suitcases to the property.

Ocean & Marina Views Apartment with Swimming-pool
stunning apartment, appears exactly as the pictures show. homely and welcoming. great location, a short drive into town to avoid walking back up all the hills with children. swimming pool area was clean and welcoming of a family having fun. the apartment even provided beach/pool towels for us use, beach games and the umbrella came in very handy

Luxury Ocean View Condo - Quarteira, Vilamoura
lovely 3 nights break 👌 perfect location to the beach and restaurants and easy parking right outside for free. would highly recommend this place for a few nights or a week beautiful sea views we loved it

Wonderful penthouse with spectacular views
Exceptional view, perfect apartment, plenty of space, easy access to the apartment, market and restaurant! It was great! There was a lot of work in the area which didn't bother us but it justifies our rating of the neighborhood. Very responsive host!!! We really enjoyed his support when needed! Highly recommended!

Luxury sea view apartment Carvoeiro centre
Cannot say enough about this place-would recommend every time. Walkable to fantastic restaurants and shopping, view is unbeatable. The pool was an added bonus after a day of sightseeing! Easy to access hiking, ocean activities and shops to stock up on provisions. Maria and Robert were very helpful and responsive hosts. Stop looking and book!!

Apartment with 2 pools and 300 m from the sea
I can’t recommend Karine’s apartment highly enough. Spotlessly clean, great quiet location within easy walking distance of the beach and lots of restaurants and supermarket. Pool area was secluded and private for myself and young family. Even though there was some building work going on to the apartment complex the builders were quiet and very respectful of us as guests. Already planning our next stay and we haven’t left Portugal!

Vilamoura Sunset - Beautiful Garden & Pool
Very spacious apartment with comfortable beds, great cooking facilities (we ate in most days), very clean, English TV channels and a good selection of board games & books. Great pool area with plenty of beds and Natalia was very responsive and helpful. We were there on a golfing holiday and all courses were easily reached by car within 4 to 10 minutes. Marina 5 minute drive away. Highly recommend

1 bed apartment, prime location, spectacular view
We had a fantastic week at Anita’s apartment in Praia da Rocha. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome – Anita and Antonio had left a generous guest pack including ham, cheese, wine, milk, water, biscuits and crisps, which was a lovely and thoughtful touch after our journey. The apartment itself is bright, spotless, and has spectacular views across the beach – which, pleasantly, wasn’t too busy during our stay. The location is excellent, with a great selection of bars and restaurants just a short walk away. Anita and Antonio were outstanding hosts – friendly, responsive, and clearly committed to making sure their guests have everything they need. Their detailed information pack was really helpful, and they were always quick to answer any questions we had. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this apartment – it’s a perfect base for a relaxing stay in Praia da Rocha. Thank you, Anita and Antonio, for your warm hospitality and kindness!

Sea View, Beach 2 minutes walk.
Just wow😊. Beautiful view and impeccable apartment in terms of cleanliness and decor. Everything is on foot, beach, restaurant and shops nearby. No need to rent a car if you want to enjoy Olhos. ☀️Ana Paula answers all your questions very quickly. I highly recommend it and for my third time in Olhos, it's still a success for the whole family. Thank you and see you soon. 🌺☀️
