Beachfront holiday rentals in Porches

Great location with responsive host! Helpful with early check in and late check out as well as recommendations around the city. His hospitality made our stay relaxing :)

The house to disengage, in simplicity, refreshing. It is very well equipped with dishes, linens, we have the impression of arriving at friends who have left everything available. The big plus is this beautiful beach 2 steps away . It just went too fast

It was a charming accommodation. It was big for two people and we felt comfortable right away. Communication was easy. All in all, we were very please.

Dear Tiago, May 2025, the Netherlands We would like to thank you for the wonderful stay we had at Villa Bonita. We greatly enjoyed our time there! Your communication before and during our stay was very pleasant and clear – that reassured us a lot. The villa itself is beautifully located, with a magnificent view and a wonderful swimming pool that we have been able to enjoy to the fullest. Everything was taken care of to the last detail. Thank you for your hospitality and good care. We look back with great pleasure on this holiday, and who knows, we may return in the future. Kind regards, Willem & Miranda Netherlands

This is our 3rd time staying in this apartment . We love it ! Great host , great communication, great location . Just another perfect stay and we e already booked again for next year . Thank you xx

Really lovely apartment. Very clean and well stocked… had everything you could need. The view from the balcony is fab, so relaxing to sit there listening to the lapping of the waves. Jose and Diogo were very nice to deal with. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for some quiet time out.

It’s our second visit here and we loved it as much as we did the first time, especially how’s there’s air conditioning! It’s a home from home with everything we needed. Sarah is helpful, friendly and responsive. See you next year

Perfect for our family stay. The location to the beach is unbeatable and the house had everything we needed + was clean. David & Beatriz were always responsive. Can’t recommend enough!

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.

Fabulous location! Beach, amazing boardwalk, and town very near, just lots of stairs! But that is beautiful Portugal! Views from porch were fantastic; everything you needed was in the kitchen and it was a very welcoming place. We didn’t use the pool, but it is a good size and well maintained. Master shower is a bit tight, but a big beautiful bath is 5 steps away, so really no big deal. I would definitely book here again if the opportunity arises!

The photos do not do this place justice. The place is massive! 2 choices of pools, beach towels are provided as well as bathroom towels.

My family and I had a lovely stay here. As we were travelling with two young children, the space and amenities were just what we needed. We spent a lot of time admiring the sea view while the kids were sleeping. Much better than being cramped in a hotel room. The hosts were very helpful and responsive. I’ve already recommended this place to friends!

Lovely house for a temporary "home". It doesn't feel like a vacation home but like a ‘vacation home’. Spacious, with all comforts and a great view. Lots of attention to detail.

We felt completely at home in Florence’s apartment. It’s a super cozy place, beautifully decorated with fun and thoughtful touches. Everything was spotless when we arrived — incredibly clean and well cared for. The shared areas are full of flowers and charm, and the heated pool was a wonderful bonus, perfect for relaxing at any time of the day. There's also a private apartment within the property, which made us feel that our car was very safe during the entire stay. The location is excellent: less than five minutes from the beach, with a lovely village nearby to explore, a fantastic restaurant just around the corner, and a great café we instantly loved. Everything is close and convenient, and the surroundings are absolutely beautiful. Florence was incredibly kind and informative from the very beginning. She made our arrival and stay smooth and welcoming, always available and attentive. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

We stayed here in the low season February/March and enjoyed the stay despite the very mixed weather. The apartment was super equipped. The bathroom door is stuck😅, but otherwise the apartment for 2 people is really spacious, modern and intact. The location is good as you can walk to a good Intermarché in 15 minutes, which has everything you need. And scenic, the corner is a dream: great coves, cliffs, viewpoints and hiking trails, all of which are not difficult. We even enjoyed walking to the next town (to the long sandy beach). The path is safe and doable in 30/40 minutes. Rodrigo was always quickly accessible, especially at the beginning because we had not found the apartment at first. As a German, it is sometimes difficult to find the Portuguese addresses. But a Google Maps link solved it-just requesting Rodrigo. 🙂 We can really recommend Rodrigo's apartment as a starting point for discovering the Algarve.

Aline & Miguel were excellent hosts and easy to communicate with before and during our trip! They have created a relaxing and beautiful space to enjoy time together with family. We especially enjoyed sitting under the olive trees for games and meals and gazing at the lighthouse/ocean from the lounge chairs. The space worked perfectly for our family of 5 adults. They provided a guide with local recommendations which was helpful. Able to walk to beaches though a bit hilly. Overall we loved staying in this area of the Algarve with access to scenic cliff trails and restaurants. We enjoyed Pashmina (Indian food down the street), Algeria Good Mood Food (Thai) & casual Earth in town for breakfast/lunch. If this Airbnb is available, book it! It’s amazing! Thank you Aline & Miguel.

The apartment is very nice and warm. The place is quiet and the view is very nice and soothing. our host was very responsive and attentive.

Kathy was very welcoming and responsive. I truly enjoyed the conversations about potentially buying property on the Algarve coast. I will be definitely renting from you again when i started searching for a new forever home! Cheers! Until next time!

The apartment is absolutely great and was perfect for us with access to the beach within 2 minutes and 2 minutes more into the town. The apartment is a great size, even nicer than the photos and really well equipped with a very comfortable bed and sofa. Persia is a fantastic host and extremely helpful and responsive on the couple of occasions we had a question, which was really appreciated. Unfortunately outside of Persia’s control but there is a bar at the end of the street which was loud until the early hours of the morning on the 3 nights we stayed there - Persia very thoughtfully provided earplugs which definitely helped, but not quite enough to drown out the loud music / street noise entirely. Nonetheless we loved our visit!

Exceptional stay! I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb. The apartment was even better than the photos: spacious, clean and very well decorated. Everything was thought out in every detail to make the stay enjoyable, whether it's the very comfortable bedding, the modern amenities or the little touches upon arrival (coffee, tea, etc.). The location was perfect, close to the beach in a quiet and peaceful area. The hosts were also very responsive and warm, available to answer any questions we had before and during the stay. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone who wants to have a pleasant and worry-free time. Thank you again for an unforgettable stay, I will come back without hesitation!

Likely the best location in Algarve if you are looking for a quiet stay. Apartment is nice, clean, well located, nice balcony, Kitchen is well equipped. We were expecting something upscale and trendy but it was a bit dated, however it is still very nice and very much above average. We could easily have spent 2-3 weeks here ! Armacao de Pera is often an overlooked beach city for a stay. It is quiet VERY quiet (except dog barking), everything closes around 10PM. But you still can get ice cream and a cold beer at Gelatos upto mid-night. Then if you need wild animation Arbufeira and Portimao are within 15 min ride. (Uber cost only 12-15 euro to get backhome). Then the best part is the beach : right in front of the apartment. It is the best soft sand beach in the area and its temperature is above the coast's average. We LOVED this place.

We had a wonderful week from start to finish . Pierre gave us details for a fantastic driver to collect us and drop us back to the airport. We where meet at the apartment it was clean and tidy. we felt at home straight away . The view from the balcony was beautiful prefect for relaxing and having meals alfresco . So peaceful and Rural you can here the chickens and Goat's in the field. The beaches are breathtaking and walks along the clifftop was amazing. I can't fault this place we had the most wonderful relaxing week . Its a bit of paradise . The Portuguese people are so friendly and helpful. we where sad to leave but made some great memories. Thank you for looking after us .

I really enjoyed my stay at this accommodation. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was great, and the hosts were very welcoming. I would definitely recommend it to others!

Excellent Excellent Excellent place to stay. Great location, great restaurants close by. Sergio recommendations on everything was well received, and the best. We had excellent weather, and beach time. The unit, well located, walking distance from everything in the small town. Will definitely be back for a longer stay.
