Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Altura

Just back from a lovely few days staying at Ana Maria and Jorge's cottage, who are such kind and friendly hosts. Well equipped, very comfortable and clean and just what we needed for a peaceful few days resting and exploring the Algarve. Going out and about in a hire car, we especially enjoyed visited historic Silves, swimming in the sea at Portimão and the Sunday church service at São Bartolomeu de Messines Church. Highly recommended!

Just loved Sandra’s place. So peaceful and we felt right at home among the lemon trees. The bed was comfortable and the cooking facilities were perfect. You can walk to the little supermarket in about 10 minutes down a track which was perfect to collect fresh bread in the morning and give our little dog a walk off lead. Sandra and Miguel were always responsive to any questions we had. Tavira is about an 8 minute drive away and there’s a large free car park just over the bridge. It’s worth visiting Santa Luzia too which is about 18 minutes by car and also there’s lovely beaches in the opposite direction. The Quinta has a soul if its own - so enjoyed my morning yoga practise. A wonderful place to stay. ❤️❤️

We had a fantastic stay at Amanda’s Villa. Had everything you needed for the stay - amazing amenities (especially in the kitchen). Was really accommodating for a larger group and we all had a great time. Would definitely recommend!!

Great place to stay. Great host giving us lots of useful tips. Very friendly, exactly as described. Good location for accessing beaches, towns and countryside. a Although you do have to drive everywhere. Would go back tomorrow!!

Nuno en Ana zijn geweldig vriendelijke en behulpzame gastheren. Het huis is voorzien van alle ( en nog meer) gemakken; echt alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig. Wij hebben genoten van het huis, de tuin en de locatie!!!

Superb location, great facilities, amazing pool, wonderful place to stay for families. The hosts were so friendly and helpful and accommodating. We would love to return.

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Dereks wunderschönem Haus! Wer Ruhe sucht und das portugiesische Leben genießen will, ist hier genau richtig. Das Haus ist toll renoviert, gemütlich eingerichtet, super ausgestattet und war absolut sauber. Besonders ist auch, dass wir Wasser, Wein, Kaffee, Obst, Duschbad und vieles mehr bereits im Haus vorfanden. Derek hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen, war immer erreichbar und hat sich um alles gekümmert. Die Terrasse mit dem Whirlpool ist ein Traum und die Lage des Hauses im kleinen, schönen Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo ist auch super. Von hier aus ist man schnell in Tavira, Olhão, Fuseta oder auch Faro und an den Stränden der Sandalgarve. Danke für die tolle Zeit, Derek! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt :)

Our stay at Villa La Caleta was fantastic. The house is even more impressive in person—beautifully designed, well-equipped, and with a really welcoming atmosphere that made us feel comfortable right away. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach in a quiet, family-friendly area. Whether you want to relax, explore, or just enjoy a nice evening at home, this place has everything you need. Francisco was a great host—super responsive and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway by the beach, this is definitely a place to consider. Will absolutely stay here again!

The place is ideally located with a short walk to the old town and river. We would highly recommend and hope to visit again and get to stay in this beautiful little house.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Jonathan was very helpful and really communicative throughout my stay. Check-in was super easy, the apartment was very clean with a lovely patio area out the back. The location is fantastic as you're not in the heart of all the action, but only a few minutes walk away and the beach is at the end of the road. I would definitely stay here again.

Wir hatten als dreiköpfige Familie eine sehr schöne Woche in Casa Regina, Wohnung 2. Wir konnten auf der großen Terrasse angenehm sitzen. Die Küche war mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Pool und Garten konnten wir schön nutzen. Waschmaschine super. Andrew und seine Mutter Lurdes waren sehr reaktionsschnell und kommunikativ. Bei Problemen mit der Dusche wurde schnell reagiert und es gab als kleine Entschädigung Kekse und Wein. Bei der Buchung weist Andrew auch darauf hin, dass es eine ruhige Wohneinheit ist. Es ist tatsächlich wichtig, dies zu berücksichtigen, da die Wohnungen recht eng aneinander liegen. Wohnung 3 grenzt an das große Schlafzimmer an und je nach Nachbarn kann es auch etwas hellhörig sein. Man hört auch immer mal die Straße, nachts ist es jedoch relativ ruhig und auch am Pool ist es idyllisch. Es ist noch zu erwähnen, dass der Eingang von Wohnung 1 auf die Terrasse von Wohnung 2 führt. Wir hatten sehr nette Nachbarn, so dass es für uns nicht weiter störend war.

In our travels through Portugal, this was absolutely the best place we stayed. Marcio’s place is very spacious, very clean, and has the feeling of being in a real home. There is a large outdoor patio where we enjoyed hanging out. And even though we were in a central location, the apartment was peaceful and quiet. Marcio was very easy to communicate with, and even when we locked ourselves out of the apartment, he was extremely kind and helpful. I can’t recommend this place enough. It was fabulous!!

Tolle Unterkunft, alles ist super sauber und gemütlich. Das Appartement liegt in super ruhiger Lage und alles ist fußläufig erreichbar! Man fühlt sich sicher, auch nachts! Anabela ist super lieb und antwortet innerhalb von wenigen Minuten. Mit dem Taxi sind es nur 10 Minuten zum Flughafen und die Fahrtpreise sind sehr günstig. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und kommen gerne wieder, vielen Dank!

Excellent logement plein d’attentions de la part de Manuel. Extrêmement pratique avec tout plein de choses utiles. Communication parfaite ! Je recommande les yeux fermer

We had a very comfortable stay! A/C works really well which was much needed as there was unseasonably warm temps when we went. Host was friendly and responsive and even made local suggestions for us. Great value for money!

parfait pour visiter la région, se faire bronzer dans les belles plages du coin . si vous n' aimez paz le soleil et la chaleur, ne venez pas.

We had a brilliant 9-day stay at Tamsin’s house. The villa couldn’t have been better situated, being a 2-min walk from town and within easy reach of local towns / beaches and shops. The house itself was large and well equipped, with a big swimming pool and living area. We travelled with 2 young children and the house was perfect, with stair-gates, toys and a comfortable travel cot and high chair. Tamsin was also very responsive snd accommodated an early check in and late departure. We would highly recommend.

Amazing experience in this villa. The Host was exceptional always there to respond and take care of things and it shows that he cares about the place. I would recommend this to anyone. Place was clean and cozy. In a very private development. If I ever get a chance will book it again. I already forwarded to few friends in London to have that experience. Thanks Mr Helder. Keep up your good work .

Wir hatten eine tolle Woche. Das Haus und der Pool haben uns sehr gefallen, wir haben gut entspannt und alles war sehr schnell zu erreichen. Der Mix aus Strand, Party und Stadt war perfekt. Vielen Dank für die schnelle und einfache Kommunikation, der Check-in und Check-Out waren auch super flexibel.

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

Great value spot in the algarve. Awesome Location and brilliant property. Would recommend to anyone, particularly large groups

Micky and Silvia came across as a lovely couple and very friendly we had a little problem with my sister locking herself out of one of the apartments Micky acame over and sorted it immediately thank you again. The Villa is a fabulous place very peaceful very modern but it needs a few little tweaks like better pillows more cups the sofa beds in the studio apartments are uncomfortable. We took the whole family 11 of us in total. A great week

Very peaceful, clean villa with great pool and things for young children to play with. Car is essential to access local amenities. Host Carmen very informative and friendly.

We stayed at Rich & Yan’s place on our family holiday with our 2 year old and it was just perfect for us. It was lovely to have a big patio area outside too within easy reach of the pool (which we used every day!). Everything had been thought of, from children’s books, welcome food and drink, highchair, travel cot etc to the supply of shampoo/ conditioner/ body wash in each bathroom. We loved the clean, homely feel of the place without it feeling too cluttered. The location was perfect for us, allowing us some peace and quiet when we needed but within a 10/15 minute drive of everywhere we needed to be including beautiful beaches and restaurants. The hosts Rich & Yan were very responsive and provided plenty of recommendations and detailed check-in instructions. We’d definitely recommend this place to anyone with a young family!
