House holiday rentals in Alte

When we arrived our host, Manuel, was waiting for us. He welcomed us and explained our amenities and surroundings along with recommending a few restaurants in the area. Our stay was perfect, peaceful and secluded - exactly how we prefer our holidays to be. We will definitely be considering staying there again next time we’re visiting Portugal!

Had a wonderful 5-day stay as a 30s friend group - the house is absolutely stunning, and felt like a real luxury. It's only about an hour's drive from Faro Airport, AC was great, kitchen really well stocked even for a bit group and the outdoor area / BBQ were ideal! It's in a peaceful neighbourhood (up a massive hill!) and far enough from the other houses to feel private. It was super easy to Uber into Lagos for only €5-7 euros each way - drivers weren't at all daunted by the location, and are fearless with the tiny old town streets in Lagos proper! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone seeking to explore the Algarve :)

I cannot thank Carmen enough from booking to arriving! We were a group for a hen party and Carmen’s could not have helped more by sending us recommendations for restaurants and also booking taxis. The villa was great and really secure with plenty of room. The pool was great fun and there are plenty of extras that Carmen can sort! If you are looking this the place to book!! Don’t look anywhere else!! Thank you Carmen for everything and I know we will be back!

Lovely house, really well stocked with essentials like coffee, tea etc - a welcome bottle of wine , Cold cuts , chesse- 4 good size bedrooms, nice patio, pool and jacuzzi

Casa de Bandeira is one of the best Airbnb's I have stayed at. Didn't really know what to expect from Albufeira and it is a bit "lively" with bars etc. in town but this place is a complete oasis. Totally near enough for an easy walk to varied bars and restaurants in five minutes, but very quiet once inside. I'm sure it's easy enough to drive or Uber to supermarkets but there is a Spar a five minute walk away which is small but generally well stocked for convenience. The villa is just beautiful, spotless on arrival and cleaned every other day. Comfortable beds, nice linen and towels. Bathrobes and slippers provided. It is really spacious and you definitely do not feel on top of each other. The absolute piece de resistance though is the rooftop. Equipped with a small fridge, shower and toilet, it is an amazing place to spend the day and/or evening. Originally we decided not to heat the pool (May) but once we decided to do so, we spent hours in there. Thank you so much, we will be back!

We stayed here for a week and it was perfect! The beaches are only a 15-20 minute walk away or a 10 minute bike ride! Definitely recommend that. The house is great and the garden is beautiful! The plunge pool was perfect for the hot days! I would 100% recommend this place :)

What a slice of heaven on the outskirts of Faro. A beautiful garden, stunning views and lovely terrace for us to sit and enjoy the beautiful sunny weather. A true hidden gem, they also serve the most unreal breakfast with fresh ingredients sourced locally and from their own garden. Alex & Monique gave us the best recommendations, from restaurants to more private beaches. We had an amazing stay and would highly recommend!

Amazing stay just like when we previously stayed in the villa, exceptionally clean, and beautiful just how you would like it!. Emy and Leo are extremely attentive and friendly and will make sure your stay is top notch! Can’t recommend this place enough! The local town armacao is a 3 minute drive or 15 minute walk and filled with everything you need, from restaurants to bars to boat rides and beaches. 10/10 from myself and the family again :)

We had a wonderful time in Vale da Tehla and sincerely thank Mariana for her hospitality and great service! She went out of her way to give us the most beautiful time at every moment! We were in the house with our young children and enjoyed the large living and dining area very much. The kitchen is beautiful and the rooms have large closets. Thank you Mariana for the great time!

We recently had a fantastic week staying here. Weather was fantastic and the pool was the perfect temperature for a refreshing dip! Everything from start for finish was brilliant, even down to putting up a baby gate at the top of the stairs for us prior to our arrival. The decor is great, very clean and tidy and the pool toys were a hit with our little one. Location is quiet and peaceful but within short walking distance of the Marina and surround bars and restaurants. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Our stay in this wonderful accommodation in Carvoeiro was simply unforgettable! The accommodation offers an incredible number of cozy outdoor seating options, a well-equipped outdoor kitchen and a beautiful pool. The house has three separate bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, which was just perfect for our group of three couples. We could easily walk to a small supermarket, and all other destinations were super accessible with a short Uber trip. A special highlight was the roof terrace, from which we had a fantastic view of the sea. In just ten minutes, we were on the beach, and the surfing beaches as well as beautiful cities such as Lagos in the area were quickly accessible. We had a fantastic time and would come back any time!

Great location, beautiful property and lots of space!

We loved our stay at Anne’s place in the most peaceful part of the Seixe valley, so much nature and beauty. Situated on Anne’s expansive land which has undergone an ambitious reforesting effort following a wild fire a few years ago. It’s incredible to see their efforts and the land being rejuvenated, life is everywhere. The space is beautifully designed, lots of space and sunshine, plus all the amenities you could need Anne is friendly and so generous with her time and suggestions of how to explore the area. We’d love to return

Uta's place is magical. Set up high, it overlooks a small village to the south and the sprawling sera to the north. The surroundings are peaceful, away from the tourist bustle of coast. The casa itself is beautifully appointed. All of the practical things are just as they should be (great dinnerware; comfy beds; plenty of sitting areas) and, beyond this, the place is aesthetically joyous. Plenty of art and other thoughtful touches, carefully curated, that make it so inviting. Surrounding the casa are small pathways walled with verdant plant life. The whole place is clearly a labour of love. Uta is a responsive and thoughtful host. We liked it here so much we immediately booked for a longer stay next year. One of the very best places we've ever found on Airbnb.

Just back from a fantastic week in this villa , as all the other reviews have stated it’s a beautiful well cared for villa in nice quiet relaxing surroundings. Everything was perfect from check in to check out . Cleaners arrived during our stay and inside and outside was immaculate. Seen someone mention dogs barking at night but I think we heard one one night , nothing that bothered us . Overall a very enjoyable holiday for a party of 4 .

The house is great, everything clean, well maintained & with an absolutely big wonderful, sunny terrace & a great view! We liked the place Paderne, away from the coast & tourism. There were 2 of us & had plenty of room. Everything clean, looks like the photos, new & well maintained, plenty of storage space for clothes etc., mattresses are good, the bathrooms new & beautiful, (one an "open" attached to the one bedroom). The village main road is quite "sporty" & is always quite noisy. Kitchen: new & well maintained, has everything you need. Terrace: large, sunny, 2 sun loungers & 2 awnings, view is great & unobstructed (...whether it stays that way? Hopefully!) "Left" the house was empty & was just "renovated" (unfortunately we had a little construction noise) - so maybe there will be neighbors/a rented holiday home there in the future? --- Conclusion: The communication with Wim was absolutely smooth & timely. Would we rent the house again? Yes, in any case!

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.

The house was very stylish and well-designed as well as well furnished. Everything important was there. The fact that the books were only cardboard boxes reinforced the impression that the house was furnished by the designer rather than by a private individual. But we really enjoyed it. If you want to complain about something, then it's little things like missing information about the house (WiFi password, where to dispose of garbage, instructions for the devices...), already "used" pans and an unusable vacuum cleaner. But with such a beautiful house, you can easily overlook it. We found the location perfect for exploring the Algarve. Lagos and Faro are within reach and even the shopping opportunities could hardly be better.

Actually, so much has already been written about this great Airbnb. We agree with ALL positive reviews. If you are planning an individual holiday in the Algarve, you should 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 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 liked Silves very much. There are good opportunities to shop for beautiful things here. Many thanks to Marta + Levi for the communication + the new dishwasher

We loved our stay at this idyllic villa.

Great place, very spacious, clean and quiet in the mountains behind Faro. The view from the terrace is great. Communication with the host went smoothly, he was very kind and accommodating and helpful. You definitely need a car to reach the property. From there you can make many excursions and is everywhere in the Algarve in a short time. We really enjoyed the time and would come back right away.

An incredible place with an amazing atmosphere. A spacious property located in a quiet area surrounded by forest, offering complete privacy and relaxation. The house is stunning, decorated with exceptional style. We felt extremely comfortable here. Everything you could possibly need and more for a comfortable stay is provided, both in the house and on the property. It's truly a magical place you’ll want to return to again and again. Thank you!

Dominique's accommodation was simply fabulous. We were greeted by him personally and received a small tour of the house. Very modern house furnished in boho chic. Really great for a group of 4 people. The exterior of the house is particularly striking. Here you can enjoy the evening sun and linger. The entire accommodation was very clean and equipped with everything you need. Dominique provided us with a large basket of freshly picked oranges and lemons as a welcome. We drank these freshly squeezed every morning. Simply delicious. We highly recommend a rental car for Silves and the region. The accommodation is otherwise hardly accessible, if at all. Lagos and Co can be reached in less than 40 minutes with good traffic conditions. We would highly recommend the accommodation and Dominique to everyone and had a wonderful time :)

We had a great holiday at Miguel in Silves and the kids loved it! The house has plenty of space (we were 5), was very clean and bright and has amazing views. You can walk around the old city from the house. Very nice coffees for breakfast and restaurants for dinner. There are plenty of activities for kids around. Miguel answered to our questions always very quickly and shared recommendations with us. Also very lucky with the weather, the beaches were wonderful and we could enjoy some time in the swimming pool. We will definitely come back! Thanks Miguel!
