Villa holiday rentals in Barão de São João

Beautiful house and surroundings. We arrived late at night, by car from Faro airport, approx 1 hour drive. Found it easily and checking in to the property was straightforward. Very spacious for our family of four with teenagers, plenty of inside and outside areas to be together or to find your own space. Very clean and modern, with lovely garden and terraces. The property is quite high with beautiful views, not overlooked. It is very cleverly designed so that you can sit in the sun or shade and if breezy you can still find sheltered spots. Kitchen very well equipped, and we used the BBQ. Pool is lovely and was heated by arrangement. Pool has steps at one end then gets deep quite quickly so may not suit small children, but perfect for us. Plenty of beach choices, supermarket, fuel and restaurants just a short drive. You do need a car. The house is on a golf course with other similar properties nearby but it was very quiet with lots of space and felt very private. We loved it!

Very cosy cottage like feel, we had a great 4 night stay. 2 adults + baby. Plenty of room upstairs. Outdoor space was great, beautiful views across the hills and very peaceful street so no noise while we were there. Nearby campsite is a 5-10 mins walk from the house, handy for using the restaurant/shop there or takeaway pizzas :) Easy access to local beaches and bigger towns (like Lagos) by car. Supermarkets and restaurants nearby too. Everything you need in the house if you want to make lunch, dinner, etc. Recommend!

Villa 1 was great! Cozy, clean, and thoughtfully appointed. The yard/pool was great. Directions were via coordinates but they were accurate and we had no issues. Close to local beaches but far enough from the commotion near the beach so that we had quiet. Appreciate the. recommendations! There are definitely tourist traps in the area so the recommendations were great. Would come back

Beautiful house 5 min drive to a beautiful beach. The pool is heated but we enjoyed the Jacuzzi and normal fireplace more in November. We were able to eat outside at lunchtime. The environment is very quiet and the house is spacious and very well-equipped. Thanks again to Izabel and Taylor for their hosting, welcome gift and great availability.

Villa is absolutely beautiful exactly like it is in the photos highly recommended, Would definitely stay here again villa is only a few minutes from the town by car. Everything you could possibly wish for in the kitchen, right down to a third fridge in the outside barbecue area. We stayed with friends, as 2 families so eight in the villa and had plenty of room. also separate areas for all of us so it never felt like we was all on top of each other I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of staying here Till the next time 😎

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 to them 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 🥰

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!

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.

A really lovely villa, photos don’t really do it justice. It’s very spacious and there was plenty of room for our group, 6 adults and 3 young children. The pool and play area were very popular. Lisa and David were great hosts. They provided everything we needed and more and were very good with communication and info. Some lovely personal touches for our stay left in the villa too which were much appreciated. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this villa and hope to return again sometime.

Great villa very close to shops and beach. Host had very good communication. Jets in hot tub didn’t work during our stay and when the gardeners come they were very loud but overall a great stay and would go again! Building a villa next door but was not in anyway noisy and host told us before we confirmed the booking.

The villa is very well equipped, literally had everything we needed/wanted. Housekeeping also visited multiple times and were very accommodating. Quiet neighbourhood, you can walk to the beach but a car is probably needed otherwise. Great communication. Would highly recommend, thank you Rene and team!

great place with very private pool area. The view from upstairs is amazing!

Our party of 8 stayed at Cristina's Villa for 10 days at the beginning of June. It is truly gorgeous, spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, super large bedrooms all with en-suite and as already mentioned on other reviews the view from the terrace is amazing. So lovely to have the pool with sun loungers, many a happy hour was spent there enjoying the sunshine. Cristina is a great host… very helpful and quick to respond if we needed her for any queries or local recommendations etc. We didn’t hire a car but very good beach bars and restaurants are nearby.. we also walked into Lagos several times returning by taxis which were readily available from the main road near the old town… Pingo Doce supermarket are happy to call a taxi for you … Also we were lucky to find the services of N&E taxi company… Vitor and Nuno offer a fantastic friendly service. We all had a great holiday and can thoroughly recommend the Villa of Magical Light.

Beautiful home in a gorgeous location. The view out the front door was spectacular. And the pool was very private and peaceful.

We had an amazing stay at Jinny's place. The villa has an amazing pool and beautiful garden. It was well equipped and pristine. We would definitely recommend and would go again. The villa is close a big shop and many beautiful beaches. 10/10

From the start, communication was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble and the help was 5 star, we couldn't have asked for more. The villa was just beautiful, it was immaculately clean and extremely well equipped as was the pool area. We had an amazing stay and were made to feel very welcome on arrival and knew that we could make contact at any time. An exceptional villa with exceptional host, would highly recommend 😊

Kingdomar’s place was perfect. Our family of 4 stayed stayed with another family of 3 and we had plenty of space. The location couldn’t be better, right next to the beach and restaurants. The house was very clean and stocked with all the essentials. We would highly recommended the place.

We booked Filips place quite last minute but he was very responsive and helpful so everything went well finding the house. Upon arrival he greeted us, showed us around and kept being very responsive during our stay. We enjoyed the beautiful house and it's quiet location very much and would happily book the house again should we decide to travel to Algarve again.

We stayed for 2 weeks with a 6 month old and 2 year old. Perfect house for us. Loads of kids toys and equipment, including potty, plastic plates, cups and cutlery, blender, etc. The pool was lovely. House was super clean and had loads of space. Host very responsive to any questions we had. 15/20 min walk to old town where there are loads of nice restaurants. Few nice places nearby too. Close to a big supermarket. We mostly drove to the beach but it is walkable. Had everything we needed and it’s a lovely house, would definitely recommend.

What a beautiful place in a fantastic area which was quiet and not far from the town, the property was amazing and had a wonderful week

We had a really nice time at this Airbnb. The place was just as advertised—clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The beach was stunning and only a short walk away, which was perfect. The heated pool was a nice bonus, especially with a 6-year-old, and the whole property was well-kept. The area was quiet and peaceful, just what we were looking for. The host was responsive and helpful whenever we had questions. Everything went smoothly, and we’d happily stay here again. A solid choice for a relaxing getaway! A few tips, the best food in Lagos is Tasca do Kiko, also there is a cafe called Everyday People cafe, perfect for breakfast.

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

One of the best AirBnB we staid in during our trips to Portugal. The place is spacious, large living room with high ceiling, good size open kitchen, master with on suite. Ideal for a family with kids. The outdoor space is fantastic, quiet, always a place in the sun or in the shadow depending how hot it is. The pool is lovely. Christin's place is impeccable, and the attention to details (equipment and decoration) is a notch above what you usually get with AirBnB. Christin is lovely and has a few stories to tell. German organisation with Portugese chill ; )

We were two families and had a great time! The house is spacious, well equipped and the sea view with the fantastic sunsets was a highlight. The beach is within walking distance. The only point of improvement would be air conditioning - otherwise everything was perfect. We would come back anytime!
