Villa holiday rentals in Marinha Beach

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.

absolutely stunning villa! The location was great, very private and only a 4 minute drive into the town via very cheap ubers and taxis. The hosts were very welcoming and gave great insight. Huge pool! Great facilities and modern kitchen/ furnishings. Comfy bedrooms and bathrooms had a wonderful shower. Pool cleaner came twice a week and the garden grounds were gorgeous. The perfect base for your trip, only wished we had stayed longer!

Our stay at this villa was fantastic! The new outdoor kitchen was amazing, and the heated pool made it extra special. The Arkeo team went above and beyond, even installing a fence to keep our small child safe from the stairs. The location is perfect, and the elevator was incredibly convenient for our luggage. One thing that really stood out is how much better the villa feels in person—it’s elegant and understated in the photos, but the space, design, and atmosphere are even more impressive when you’re actually there. Although our stay was too short, we can’t wait to come back for a longer visit. Highly recommend this villa for a luxurious stay in Quinta do Lago!

Beautiful place in a lovely area. The house looks just like the pictures if not better. It’s very functional and everything you might need is there. It’s located close to the beautiful beach. Everyone was very helpful and I would definitely recommend this place and stay there again . Thank you!

From first booking we had excellent communication with the owners. We decided to get the pool heated and use there transfer service. The pool was a good temperature on arrival and the transfer was excellent service. We were greeted at the villa by Pavel (Villa manager), he was very friendly, he showed us the working of the villa and what the area had to offer locally. We did have an issue with the A/C, we made contact with Pavel and the issue was sorted within a few hours (great service). Everything that was advertised on the listing page described the villa exactly. I would highly recommend staying here and we look forward to a return holiday at the villa.

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

Heerlijk huis voor een tijdelijk ‘thuis’. Het voelt niet als een vakantiehuis maar als een ‘vakantie-thuis’. Ruim, van alle gemakken voorzien en een geweldig uitzicht. Veel aandacht voor details.

This was a truly fantastic villa, just what we (as a couple) were looking for (difficult to find good size villas for two persons); but could comfortably accommodate at least 4. Everything was as described; and Catia responded promptly to questions, etc. The villa is in a great location, less than 5 minutes walk from many restaurants (Sao Domingos is especially good) and other local amenities - Aldi is less than 5 minutes walk; a small Apolonia (think Waitrose Express) about 15-20 minutes walk (less than 5 by car); and a large Continente (Tesco/Sainsbury's) about 10 - 15 minutes drive (in the Algarve Shopping Mall). Praia da Gale is also 15-20 minutes walk (5 by car), with Restaurant Praia da Gale also recommended. It is beautiful inside, with plenty of kitchen equipment; and beautifully furnished and finished. Very easy to find as on the main road through the town. All in all, a fabulous place; and we will certainly look to book again when looking to stay in Gale.

The most amazing place we’ve ever stayed. We travel as a family of 7 and use Airbnb regularly all over the world. This is the best presented, best location, so close to fun experiences, history, culture, beaches. We all loved it and wish we’d stayed longer. The house is beautiful, well thought out and stunningly decorated, with well curated art. It felt like home much more than the average Airbnb experience. Highly recommended.

Superbe maison à 5 min en voiture d'une très belle plage. La piscine est chauffée mais nous avons plus profité du jacuzzi et du feu de cheminée normal au mois de novembre. Nous avons pu mangé dehors le midi. l'environnement est très calme et la maison est spacieuse et très bien équipée. Merci encore à Izabel et Taylor pour leur accueil, leur cadeau de bienvenue et leur grande disponibilité.

We had a great stay, the villa was well positioned, spacious, very clean and perfect for a multi-generation family break. Communication with host was excellent. We had a great stay at the villa and look forward to visiting again soon.

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.

We stayed at this property for three nights with my children and parents, and it was perfection. Everything was brand new and top quality. You could tell there was a lot of attention to detail when designing / refurbishing the space. Stefanie was super-responsive and it was a breeze getting in and checking-out. We hope to stay there again when it warms up so we can use the breathtaking pool area. 10/10.

We had a lovely week here at the end of April! There was plenty of space for our family of 9 adults. The villa is private and peaceful and the views from the living area and balcony are amazing! We appreciated the fluffy towels in the bathrooms and the extra towels for pool use. A couple of bars and restaurants are in easy walking distance and we often walked to Ferragudo along the cliff path and beach. The villa is well located to visit other areas of the Algarve by car. Francisco was very helpful, allowing us to be flexible with the checking in and out times and recommending nearby restaurants.

Villaen til Marco er virkelig fin, og er nesten finere i virkeligheten enn på bildene. Marco er en vennlig vert som svarer hyggelig og raskt. Villaen har alt du trenger for et hyggelig opphold. Om du vil spise mat i villaen så er alt av utstyr der for å få en fin kveld. Gode uteområder, solsenger og parasoller. Vi kommer gjerne tilbake!

Fantastic accommodation, clean and well kept. Close to bars and places to eat with the beach only a 10 minute walk.

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

Das Haus ist sehr schön. Steht im Neubau Gebiet( es werden noch einige Hauser gebaut). Wir wurden von Maria herzlich begrüßt. Sie hat uns alles erklärt und gezeigt. Hat uns auch viele tolle Tipps gegeben. Restaurants, Sehenswürdigkeiten etc. Sie war auch immer für uns erreichbar. Auch Salz, Pfeffer und Öl waren vor Ort( nicht wie manche es geschrieben haben). Wir waren zu 8 im Haus( Erwachsene) hatten genug Besteck und Geschirr. Waschmaschine wurde auch benutzt:-) Mit Shampoo und Seife war jedes Bad ausgestattet. Uns hat es gut gefallen. Vielen Dank.

This was the best Airbnb we have stayed in for over 10yrs. From day 1 we felt at home and wanted to book to stay here again. It's location was perfect for us, as we have friends close by but it was also very peaceful without being remote from local facilities. The kitchen was well equipped, the garden and pool maintained weekly to keep it all in tip top condition. It was a very relaxing home and we can't wait to return.

Samen met twee gezinnen verbleven wij in het mooie huis van Ilka. Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien en heel erg comfortabel. De tuin is prachtig en erg goed onderhouden. Ook voor de kinderen was de tuin perfect en zij hebben heerlijk kunnen spelen. Het zwembad, met verwarming, was heerlijk. Voor ze kinderen was het erg fijn dat zij zelf gemakkelijk in en uit het zwembad konden door de trap en ook konden staan aan het begin van het zwembad. Ilka is heel vriendelijk en reageert erg snel op berichten. Ze dacht altijd fijn mee en had veel tips. Het huis ligt afgelegen, met ontzettend veel privacy, maar toch op maar 10 minuten rijden van Lagos. We hebben erg genoten van ons verblijf.! Wanneer wij weer naar dezelfde regio zouden gaan zou ik dit huis zonder twijfel opnieuw boeken!

The house is beautiful! And it had everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed the swimming pool, tennis table and pool table. It is also near wonderful beaches like Praia dos tres Irmãos. We hope to come back one day!

Wir hatten einen wirklich tollen Aufenthalt. Es ist ein wunderschönes Haus, mit tollem Außenbereich in ruhiger Lage. Im Haus ist alles vorhanden was man braucht, von einer gut ausgestatteten Küche bis zum Surfbrett und Fahrrädern. Zu Fuß gelangt man in etwa 30 Minuten an die Küste. Dort kann man wunderschöne Wanderungen machen. Ornella war sehr zuvorkommend, jederzeit erreichbar und hat sich um alles gekümmert. Herzlichen Dank nochmals! Wir können die Villa sehr empfehlen und werden hoffentlich wieder kommen.

My wife and I stayed in Casa Patricia for two weeks and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Checking in was simple and indeed Patricia’s husband, Ricardo, arrived just as we were doing so to check everything was okay. He was very helpful and friendly, offering advice as to where we could eat that evening, and other ideas about the area. We had stayed in Carvoiero before so already knew a bit about the town, but Ricardo’s recommendations were very helpful and indeed on the first night we had a very enjoyable meal in one of his choices. The villa is spacious and was well appointed when we arrived. Plenty of towels for use outside and a lovely area to relax and sunbathe was available to us. Any minor issues were quickly and efficiently dealt with - there was an issue with the gate opening which Ricardo sorted very quickly - and we always felt that we could contact Patricia and Ricardo at any time. All in all a wonderful place and we hope to return soon.

We had a wonderful weeks stay. Everyone was exactly as described. We arrived very late at night but found the villa so easily from the pin drop provided and so easy to access. We received very welcome recommendations for restaurants and activities and tried a number of these which were excellent. We would definitely return as we enjoyed the villa so much.
