Villa holiday rentals in Porches

Harald was very helpful and responsive. When the air wasn't working, he made sure to get a repairman on site as soon as possible. The property is as it looks and the pool and outdoor space is lovely. It was great for our family get away.

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!

We loved our stay at Miriam's home in the Algarve. Just right for our family of 6. Lots of space, both in and outside the home. The location was a great spot to be close to things we wanted to do along the coast - 7 Hanging Valleys trail, Benagil cave, Lagos, and much more. Miriam was a fantastic host. She helped us with local recommendations, and was proactive about making we were ok during the national power outage.

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 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.

Spacious villa with comfortable beds & bedding, good air con and large communal areas. Good location with small supermarket/shops within walking distance or Aldi 5min drive away. Restaurant options also nearby. Marina with lots of bars is a 45 minute walk away, with old town being 8-10 minute drive away. Lovely pool with comfortable loungers and enough shaded areas if needed! Although the pool made our swimwear and skin go green (we were told this was because of our sun cream, but have never had that happen previously and we all used different creams), so don’t wear pale swimwear and towels around the pool!! The villa could do with a much larger bin considering its occupancy size and also basic cleaning supplies (disinfectant spray or wipes & bin bags) would be useful. Have to buy all your own supplies including sponge to wash up and dishwasher tablets. Otherwise lovely stay and would definitely return again!! Thank you ☺️

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

Sergio and Maria were great hosts and very responsive with any questions, issues, queries faced. Had a couple issues with 2 of the AC units but they had the matter sorted in a timely manner. Very nice house, very modern, and had a nice home feel to it. Facilities were brilliant, and the pool and outdoor area were very nice. Only thing I would note is that the house is quite far from any amenities, shops, restaurants, etc., so would recommend renting a car as it can be annoying having to taxi everywhere.

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!

we booked marta'a villa 6 days before we were due to head to portugal as our first villa cancelled. marta was extremely accommodating kind and friendly, she knew we were bringing two small kids and she made sure we had everything we needed for them and left them some sweets to enjoy. she was great at giving us recommendations and when we did have a small issue she sorted it immediately. the house was spotless and perfect for all ages being between 5 and 65! the pool was a massive hit by all, as was the pool table. we would recommend anyone and everyone to book this house it was everything and more we could have hoped for. thank you again marta

Beautiful house 5 min drive to a beautiful beach. The pool is heated but we enjoyed the Jacuzzi and normal fireplace more in November. We were able to eat outside at lunchtime. The environment is very quiet and the house is spacious and very well-equipped. Thanks again to Izabel and Taylor for their hosting, welcome gift and great availability.

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.

Returning to this luxury property feels like coming home. The hosts and Laura, go above and beyond to ensure each stay surpasses the last. Their attention to detail, proactive communication, and warm hospitality make every visit exceptional. I'm grateful for the consistency and quality of care they provide and look forward to many more stays. Highly recommended for those seeking a truly attentive and luxurious experience. Thanks again for another perfect visit!

We had a great stay for a friends birthday party. Amazing grounds, very large with 2x pools and a pool bar with large bbq. Chickens free roaming was a nice touch. Host was very accommodating and communicated well before and during the stay. We had a minor issue with a fuse blowing, and someone was sent to fix the issue. 5*

We had such a wonderful week at Villa Ocean Dreams! Giuliana’s home was even more beautiful and spacious than the photos! The location was fantastic with the beach so close and the boardwalk to walk into the marina or town right across the street. The pool and hot tub made our week even better. We spent much of our time in the comfortable gathering areas by the pool, under the shade and awnings upstairs and downstairs, or playing games in the evening at the dining table. All of the beds were very comfortable and the air conditioning was perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals for our group of five and was so well stocked with cooking utensils and appliances. Giuliana was so helpful and welcoming, making us feel right at home.

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.

We have just spent 5 days at Paul’s Villa as Grandparents,Daughter, Son-in-law and baby. It was a perfect place with plenty of open plan area. Air Conditioned bedrooms opening out onto the patio which is really nice. Immaculately clean throughout & everything you could possibly require in the kitchen. Outside the Pool is awesome,a fabulous size & clean as a whistle! We opted for pool heating for the baby & really enjoyed that luxury ourselves! Plenty of comfortable seating, shaded areas & sun umbrellas.We made use of the bbq most nights. We ate out twice at the Lighthouse Restaurant a few mins walk a from the Villa which Paul booked for us. Such a nice restaurant, fab food, service & beautiful view. Paul is very friendly, chatty & keen to help with anything you should require. Living across from the Villa he is on hand should you need him

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

Good accommodation especially for children but rather in the spring, summer, fall ,) Without a car, it's rather isolated on campus … in general, Portugal has to think about how to become more bicycle-friendly Also with the food - restaurants in the area, the typical Portuguese cuisine is missed - yes yes pizza, hamburgers etc. can be found but that can't be it There was plenty of sun, but somehow I couldn't find the heart of Portugal - maybe my mistake or the global just takes over and rolls over the Portuguese Agradeço

This is an absolutely gorgeous villa to stay in! The salt water pool was perfect and set in beautiful landscaped gardens. The house is well equipped and spacious. Ideal if you want a week just relaxing!

Ilka was a great host! We really enjoyed our time there

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.

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!

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.
