Villa holiday rentals in Barão de São João

This is the most beautiful house, in one of the few remaining unspoilt parts of the Algarve coast. It is very well-equipped and there are lovely walks, both in the countryside behind and along the cliffs. A very pretty, and not very populated, beach is a five-minute walk and a slight scramble down a cliff path away. Cecilia is incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Very nice house with beautiful garden and refreshing swimming pool. Has all the comforts and more than enough space. We had a wonderful time in a beautiful setting with beautiful beaches and in the middle of nature.

The villa was absolutely beautiful. It looked exactly like the photos. It accommodated 6 adults and 2 children comfortably. Whilst we were there the towels were changed, beds were stripped, pool cleaned, gardens maintained. The villa is very well cared for. Agree with other reviews that you either need a car or be prepared to get a taxi (7 euros to the marina). The walk is doable but part of it is along a quick road with blind corners and no pavement. We didn’t feel safe doing it. We had one issue that was dealt with - thank you for the responsive communication. Thank you for the welcome drink left in the fridge. We were met personally on arrival and could check in early due to a morning flight. We would 100% stay here again and recommend.

What a fantastic property and location. We had high expectations from the photos and price, but they were met and more. Modern with all of the amenities: cooking essentials, beach gear / toys, towels, beers if you're lucky the previous guest didn't finish them! Wendy and Manel are very responsive (when asked - not interfering!) and I am so glad they have shared their home with us for a week. We've walked the coastal path on past visits and wondered what it would be like to live in one of the villas right next to it... Now we know and want to do it again!

The accommodation was perfect, it was clean, spacious and well equipped. The outside area was the highlight with seating, sun beds, pool and bbq area. Bruno was very helpful and answered questions quickly. The location was a short uber/taxi from the main area (€5) which was no problem for us. A fantastic stay and would definitely recommend.

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!

An incredible stay, if I had to go back I would definitely go back to this beautiful house, everything impeccable, clean, a minimalist decoration with very good taste, the perfect location and also with its own garage space. It is so comfortable and beautiful, that we did not want to go out to dinner. The house was provided with all kinds of kitchen utensils and if something was needed, the girl who runs it is super friendly and brings it to you in 5 minutes, 100% recommended.

We loved our stay at Casa de Migges - one of the best Airbnbs we have ever stayed in. It was very clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. We felt right at home and loved that we were able to cook, do laundry, and enjoy the pool. The beds were comfortable, bathrooms were modern and spacious, and the neighbourhood was cozy and quiet. We also loved that each room had air conditioning that worked beautifully and was not noisy. A perfect stay and we would definitely stay here again. Caroline was wonderfully responsive and friendly. Thank you Caroline!!

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.

We loved our stay in Benagil. The house on a cliff overlooking the ocean was amazing and peaceful. We hiked to the beach and along the cliffs from the house and we took day trips by car to nearby towns. The house was large and pristine. Marco was very responsive and provided local recommendations. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip.

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!

Gorgeous villa, Everything was well thought out and there was everything you could have possibly needed . Stunning entrance and views huge pool, loads of seating areas. This place is not to be missed . 5 mins taxi to new or old town or marina, 30 mins to vilamoura. A very special place indeed

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 😎

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.

Honestly, I can’t say enough about Ana on how she went above and beyond to make my weekend celebrating my birthday and bachelorette with my friends special! She went as far as to in on the surprise to ensure that I was completely blown away! The villa is spectacular and my only regret is the number of balloons we left lying around when we left (sorry Ana). The rooms were spacious, immaculately clean, great convenient location with a grocery store and cafes nearby. Also wasn’t too far to get to the main strip! I highly recommend booking this gorgeous villa!

We have had a lovely week staying at this beautiful villa, with our 3 grown up children and their partners. We loved the pool, hot tub and lovely garden. The villa was spacious and had everything we needed. All communications with Margot were helpful and she always replied very quickly. We had a small issue on holiday which was dealt with immediately we contacted her, Would definitely love to return to this villa.

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!

What a fantastic week! We stayed at Villa Luz 37 – Terrace, Jacuzzi & Swimming Pool in Albufeira from May 27th to June 3rd and what a wonderful experience it was! Communication with Guilherme was exceptional: fast, friendly, and always helpful. The villa exceeded our expectationsL: spacious, stylish, and fully equipped with everything we needed. We truly enjoyed the jacuzzi, the swimming pool, and the peaceful terrace. The hospitality, facilities, and service were outstanding. A well-deserved 9 out of 10 and honestly, it could have been even higher. Thank you, Guilherme, for an unforgettable stay!

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.

Claudia's place was very nice. We were greated by Eduardo and he showed us around & explained all the details about the house and the surrounding area. The house itself was very beautiful with a private pool and we enjoyed it every day. The showers in the bathrooms were wonderful. The beds were super comfortable as well. Claudia's place was clean, tidy and uncluttered. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything someone would require as well as a perk coffee machine & blender. There was also a beautiful bbq available for us to use. We took full advantage of it. Every evening we drove up and over the hill to watch the sunset and the area was very scenic. We 100% recommend this place for anyone traveling to this region in the Algarves.

A fantastic stay - all the amenities you could want paired with an ideal location to explore that area of Portugal. Thanks so much for having us.

Beautiful house in a good location. Slightly disappointed that the fireplace was not operational. The house was also short on basics : eg: tea & sugar supplied, but no salt & pepper No soap in any bathrooms. Hopefully the supplies we left are there for the next occupants. Otherwise it was fairly good & the host was always responsive.

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

We had a great stay at the place. Jacky is very responsive and kind! Beautiful location with a great view, 10/10 would recommend!
