Villa holiday rentals in Mexilhoeira Grande

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.

we had a lovely stay, everything was as shown on the website. location was great, everything ran smoothly. thankyou for a lovely stay

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

Our stay at Vila G, Mira Luz was all that we had hoped it would be. The stunning views were not hard to take every morning over coffee. The accommodations were very comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. Walking distance to the beach and the little shops/restaurants. The area was quiet and well maintained with a gated community to feel safe and secure. We even survived the blackout ! Thank you for hospitality 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!

Wir haben insgesamt mit Erwachsenen plus Kleinkindern zwei Wochen in der Unterkunft verbracht. Das Haus und die Umgebung ließen keine Wünsche offen. Die Ausstattung der Küche und die Einrichtung der Räumlichkeiten war toll, jedes Zimmer hat ein eigenes Bad, es war alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt und konnten sehr gut entspannen. Das Areal und der (Natur-)Pool luden zum verweilen ein, tolle Strände oder Restaurants sind aber auch mit dem Auto gut zu erreichen. Die Kommunikation und der Check in liefen perfekt ab. Die Unterkunft ist absolut zu empfehlen, wir haben eine tolle Zeit gehabt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

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!

Bonjour, Nous avons adoré cette maison avec de la place pour tout le monde, sa terrasse avec une très belle vue et son emplacement, à coté d'une très belle plage. Par contre nous avons payé 250 € pour le chauffage de la piscine, mais la pompe à chaleur n'a jamais démarrée car le niveau d'eau était sous les skymers. Nous avons demandé le remboursement mais sans résultat. Et ça c'est un gros point noir., sans parler de la venue des hommes d'entretien de celle-ci qui sont rentrés dans la propriété sans prévenir et sans sonner.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 loved our stay at sound of the sea villa! It was so relaxing and it was always hard to leave the tranquil setting (which was a good problem to have). The pool was beautiful and warm and it was so private, but close to beautiful beaches. The house itself is well appointed and had everything you could need to cook great meals, grill, sleep well, and feel at home. We all loved having the gym as part of our vacation. The area is so beautiful, with nature all around, but still a quick drive to town or accessible to all of the algarves-40 mins to Lagos, 1 hour to Sagres, 1 hour to Lagoa, etc a. The location is also a prime spot for surfing. We would highly recommend to a family or two that are visiting the area.

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!

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.

Great house! Loved that it was walkable to the beach and several restaurants. Everything was clean, pool was amazing, hosts were so kind

Great place to stay! property was in great condition, and was a great base for our group of 8. All the bedrooms were an even size and the open plan space downstairs was fantastic. lovely garden and pool. BBQ also extremely clean which is not always the case and all appliances were easy to use. check in and check out were easy and the host was always contactable.

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

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.

Beautiful setting and so peaceful. We stayed for 2 weeks in June 2025, the location is high up the mountain so can be cool in the mornings and evenings. However we loved having an open fire in the evenings and James provided all the wood we needed. James was quick to respond when called upon. We loved the space this property gave us and grew to love its quirky design layout. We would certainly recommend James and “villa de Cima” one thing we would advise is having the pool heated. Thanks James
