Villa holiday rentals in Monte Gordo

HPaco and Steven were truly exceptional hosts! We arrived during a surprise blackout, but Paco responded right away and went out of his way to help us settle in—something we deeply appreciated. Their home is beautiful, with a lovely pool and inviting outdoor space. While it was a bit too chilly for a swim during our visit, we could easily imagine enjoying it in warmer weather. The location is ideal—just 30 minutes from Faro and an hour from Lagos—perfect for day trips and exploring the region. We’d absolutely love to return and highly recommend this fantastic place to anyone visiting the area!

We had a great stay at Casa Quadra Dique. The home is finished to a really high standard, in a very peaceful setting which was perfect for unwinding. The swimming pool was a real highlight as well as the picturesque sunrises. The hosts were very attentive and responsive, and gave us a list of recommendations for nearby restaurants etc. Would absolutely stay again and highly recommend!

We had a perfect stay at Villa Eltael! The house was exactly as described—spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The beds were great, and the whole place felt calm and cozy, ideal for a relaxing family holiday. The heated pool was a fantastic addition and made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is great—quiet and peaceful, but close to everything you need (supermarket, restaurants, etc) and still within walking distance to the beach. We were also pleasantly surprised by how well-equipped the house was. All the essentials were provided—from coffee, laundry and dishwashing detergents, to even charcoal for the barbecue. It made everything so easy and convenient. João and Sívila were outstanding hosts! Their warm welcome, excellent communication, and flexibility with check-in made us feel completely at home. Their hospitality truly made our stay unforgettable. We wish we could have stayed longer and will certainly come back soon. Totally recommend this place!

We’ve just returned from a fantastic week at this villa. It’s incredibly private, set off a quiet dirt track with beautiful surroundings, perfect for a peaceful and relaxing stay. Maria was a wonderful host, super responsive and helpful from start to finish. She even checked in before our arrival to see if we needed anything and kindly arranged for a cleaner mid-stay, which was a really nice touch. The location is great, just 20 minutes from both Vilamoura and Albufeira, and there’s also a lovely local beach with a few nice restaurants nearby. We’d definitely stay again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to all.

Villa Verde looks exactly like the listing. It’s so peaceful there - we hardly left the place! The pool is bigger and deeper than it looks in the pics! Outdoor kitchen and shower are a great bonus. Perfect facilities for a family holiday, including really useful baby/toddler stuff.

We absolutely loved Sergio’s villa, it had everything we needed, with magnificent views across the valley. It was sooo peasant and pleasant. The kids loved the heated pool and the garden. We will be back!!!!

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautifully appointed & very comfortable, spacious villa. Located in a very quiet area with wonderful views, it was a perfect choice. Rui was helpful, responsive and a delight to work with Thank you for a lovely stay

Wonderful house, with lots of space for outdoors activities, close to Loule where there are there is lots of wonderful restaurants and culture. We really enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend!

Very nice villa, great pool (glad we heated it!) and lots of space for our 13-person group. Bathrooms were splendid. It could have a bit more cleaning equipment for guests to use during stay, while parts of the plot aren’t as easy/safe for our 1.5yr old baby to walk around. Other than that: great! Hence, 5*

We were let down by our original villa booking and therefore contacted Maria and hosts to help us out which they did, allowing access within 1 hr of making contact. The villa itself is stunning, set in a quiet location and has everything you need on your doorstep.. a shop, bars and restaurants. We were a family of 5 with a 9 month old baby, there was enough room for all, with outside dining, the perfect pool area & great facilities throughout. The walk to the Marina is 15mins & a few mins in a taxi costing 5euro. We would love to come back and stay here again. Thanks for hosting us!

One of the most beautiful Airbnbs we have ever stayed in! I couldn't recommend it enough and hope to return. The space is even better than the photos, with each apartment having their own kitchenette & bathroom. The backyard was incredible and made for an amazing space to spend time with family. The property manager, Ines, was extremely welcoming and responsive. If you're considering renting Casa Bela Vida - it's a must!

Beautiful, immaculate property. Even better than the pictures. Everything about the place was perfect. Couldn’t have found a better place to come back to after long days of exploring the Algarve.

José and Catiá were very welcoming and available for our stay at 12 in their house, especially to quickly remedy small problems (a problem with opening the door for example). they were also accommodating on our arrival time and we thank them very much. Their accommodation is beautiful, very functional and very very well maintained, it is very pleasant to stay in. The only negative point that does not depend on our hosts is the many construction works in the neighborhood that cause some morning noise disturbances but otherwise everything was great! Thanks!

We had the most magical time at Casa Stardust! It really is a special place. It’s wonderful gardens, which just keep on giving.. every corner you turn provides another tranquil resting area. The kids absolutely loved exploring and visiting the turtles & frogs in the pond & loved making friends with the resident rooster and his ladies💕 The beaches nearby are family friendly and there are lots of different options, the local restaurants & towns are wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! ✨✨

Had a wonderful stay with family and friends. Perfect to share with friends and their children. Such a beautiful villa and the grounds were perfect! The views were incredible and a lovely, responsive host! If only the weather could have been better for us! Would definitely visit again!

Beautiful Villa, well located, peaceful but only a short cab ride to the local marina. Nice and clean with a great pool. We were 3 couples and there was plenty of space for all. I would definitely book this place again.

This villa is absolutely stunning! Amazing views and very clean. Had a lovely stay here . And the perfect holiday with my wife and our three children. Can not fault it in any way. Highly recommended

We loved our stay at Tiago's beautiful house. We stay over easter for a family get together including 7 adults and 2 young children. The house was perfect and allowed ample space for us to spread out enjoy ourselves. Kids especially loved playing with the slide outside and in the pool. The pool isn't heated and very cold but we were lucky with warm weather in April and enjoyed using it a few times. The beach at Praia Verde is stunning with white sand, calm water and a board walk walk with cafes and restaurants (although not all open in low season).

For us, the nearby park was perfect for walking the dog. We liked the location very much, it is nice and quiet. Also within walking distance to Olhão center. Communication with the host works perfectly. The apartment has everything you need. We had a very good time here!

The moment we arrived we were given a warm welcome from Carla’s mother Fernanda. Fernanda was extremely friendly and gave us a thorough tour of the property. The villa was stunning and the location was beautiful and peaceful with vibrant flowers with many birds swooping around. This is was our first holiday with our 14 month old baby girl and the villa was perfect for us with everything we needed and more. A wonderful cot was supplied and the rooms were very comfortable. The area was quiet with local shops, coffee shop and small restaurants within walking distance.Everything else we needed was just a 15 minute drive away including the town of Tavira. The nearest beach was just a 10 minute drive to a charming train (perfect for the kids) which takes you across the river which separates the beach. Would highly recommend this place for any family’s looking to explore the algarve and we could not be happier guests. Both Carla and Fernanda should be proud hosts.

Really nice place to stay at. Corresponding to description. Quiet place, with beautiful views. The house is well equipped and the hosts are very nice and attentive people to offer good service and answer any needs or questions from guests.

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.

A fab stay from start to finish. Rafael and Anna-Sophie were excellent hosts, very responsive and super flexible around our arrival time which was late in the evening. The apartment was very well-equipped and has been designed in a clever way to make the most of the space – it actually feels much bigger than it looks in the photos. The patio balcony with a BBQ was perfect for al-fresco dining, the gardens have been beautifully maintained and the swimming pool was perfect for a hot summers day. You can easily reach the towns of Boliqueime and Loulé by car and the coast is only a c. 20 min drive away. Would definitely recommend, thank you!

We had a lovely stay. The apartment was better than the photos and in particular seemed more spacious. It had everything we needed for a great family holiday with two small children (2+6). The use of a very well equipped kitchen and washing machine was particularly helpful. The shutters ensured that the children slept well at night as they blocked out most of the light. There was a heatwave during our stay and no air con in the children's bedroom and as such moved our youngest's cot into the living area, which worked better. The air con there and in the main bedroom was great however. The location was very peaceful, up on the hill above tavira. We often had the pool to ourselves and had no issues with noise from neighbours. We didn't hire a car, despite the advice of the owner. We found it manageable with the help of a pram and toddler carrier. The walk into town being 20 minutes and the trip to the bus and train station not much further. The host was really responsive.
