Kid-friendly vacation rentals in São Bartolomeu de Messines

We had a great stay at casa da tia. Alte is a charming and quiet village and the cottage is right in the middle. Close to the river where you can go swimming and also close to some bars. The cottage itself had everything you need and was sparkling clean. Recommended!

Excellent location. Steps from beach. Loved watching surfers. Bruno made us feel right at home. Would stay again.

Ana and Jorge are very lovely hosts! We stayed at Casa Marafada the second time with a little Child and it was a great experience we can fully recommend! Thank you for everything and see you next time :)

We had a great week at this Vale do Rei. Quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the Algarve, surrounded by eucalyptus and lands that Christiane cultivates with love. The place is perfect (even better than in the photos and much bigger than it looks). Very well equipped, fresh and subtly decorated. The bedding is comfortable. Suitable for children (we were there with our 4 year old daughter). Common spaces further enhance the experience. A car is essential; nevertheless, you will find everything you need at 10min, in the village located at the bottom of the valley. Christiane is infinite kindness and availability. His sense of detail and warmth make us feel like friends of family. Another huge thank you for everything.

splendid private house, spacious and ultra-equipped with an exceptional setting located 20 min from the center. responsive host great stay i recommend it 100%

Great location, beautiful property and lots of space!

We had a great time at Dominique's place! There were six of us and the accommodation was simply perfect: spacious, very clean, tastefully decorated, and perfectly equipped. The location is also ideal, in a quiet place that invites you to relax. A big thank you to Dominique for hosting us and for the quality of her accommodation. We highly recommend it!

Me and 2 friends had amazing 10 days at Arrifana Beach. The house is very nice and offers everything you need. Its quite, has a nice kitchen, an awesome terrace and you only need 1 min to the beach 👍🏼 Also Hugo is awesome. He is proactive, friendly and you notice that he really is interested in you having a good stay 🙌 All in all we highly recommend this house :)

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!

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!

Beautiful place and area.

Raquel is one of the most communicative and responsive hosts I’ve ever interacted with on Airbnb. The location of this home is unbelievable. I fell in love with Albufeira from the first few hours i was there, and couldn’t believe how well-situated this place was to all the fun the area has to offer. ACs and most amenities worked well. I’m not sure if it’s a design related to homes in that area, but the open bathroom in the master bedroom, including the shower design, seemed impractical. I needed to rearrange items in that area, and wipe the floor/toilet after every shower. The iron was unusable due to a stain on the ironing surface, and risk of damaging clothes. The washing machine was small and not very effective. We needed to do a lot of loads to clean our clothes, then air dry them, but glad we had a washer! Overall, this is a great place, Raquel’s a great host, and i recommend booking, for anyone visiting Albufeira. Great for 2 ppl, but could accommodate a couple more too. Enjoy!

was a very nice place, Aurelia was friedly and easy to reach, would recommend but only if you have a car since bigger supermarkets are further away

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!

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.

Staying at Joana’s place in Lagos was the most heartwarming and memorable Airbnb experience we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed - not just as guests, but as a little family. My wife, our baby, and I were blown away by the love and attention Joana poured into every detail of the home. The interior is simply stunning - unbelievably lovely, with an eye for exceptional decoration that makes the space feel not only stylish but deeply cozy and comforting. Every corner felt thoughtfully put together, inviting us to slow down and feel at home. One of our favorite features was the patio with its small pool, perfect for a refreshing dip during the warm afternoons. It became a peaceful little sanctuary, away from the buzz of Lagos, and gave us that much-needed feeling of retreat. What touched us most, though, was Joana’s incredible hospitality. She had prepared a beautiful welcome basket filled with snacks, wine, and drinks—not only for us, but also a special

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

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!

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!!

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!

We had a fantastic week in Elisa’s apartment, the view is beautiful! So lovely to see and hear the sea everyday. It’s a short walk into town with lots of great bars and restaurants, we also easily got parked nearby. Elisa was a great host, very responsive and I recommend reading her blog with loads of great recommendations for exploring the algarve. Thank you Elisa!

This was one of the best airbnbs we stayed in, and we have stayed in many! It’s such a beautiful apartment, so nicely decorated with a lot of style and high quality. It really felt like a cosy home. And the surroundings are sooo pretty, so many flowers and plants! The outside terrace was amazing, and the small playground was the best for our kids. It is a short drive to the coast or Silves, yet away from the touristy and busy crowds. The owners are super responsive and flexible. The value for money was great, we stayed somewhere half as nice but double the price near the coast before. It was the best and if we ever visit the Algarve again we’d definitely stay here again! Highly recommended!

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!

we loved everything. from the residence to the house. it's a little gem. the house is well organized with comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and beautiful balconies especially one where we had lunch and dinner. all in a quiet and peaceful setting. perfect for children. the sea is very close and within walking distance, 4 swimming pools. in short, what more do you want? carlota was helpful and very kind. Thank you so much for everything. we left our hearts
