Family-friendly holiday rentals in Portugal

A really lovely villa, photos don’t really do it justice. It’s very spacious and there was plenty of room for our group, 6 adults and 3 young children. The pool and play area were very popular. Lisa and David were great hosts. They provided everything we needed and more and were very good with communication and info. Some lovely personal touches for our stay left in the villa too which were much appreciated. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this villa and hope to return again sometime.

The accommodation was one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed at, the views in the morning on the rooftop where unforgettable, the host was very helpful and approachable when needing some guidance, the only concern is that we didn’t stay for longer!! Would 100% recommend

We had a lovely stay here! The apartment is beautifully designed, with a stunning sea view, a well-equipped kitchen, and a spacious, modern bathroom. The balcony was perfect for enjoying our morning coffee. There’s a popular restaurant right next door, and although the apartment is located a bit outside the Ponta Delgada city center, it’s a peaceful area with enough parking nearby. We had a car, which we’d recommend, but also walked into town along the scenic coastline-it takes about 30 minutes. All in all, a great base for exploring the island!

This home was beautiful, peaceful and a perfect stay to get away from life and be able to relax

The most amazing Airbnb I have ever stayed at. So value for what it is and it was beyond our expectations. Would love to stay here again. Carlos was so responsive, flexible with check in and assisted us with different taxi options when needed. The house keepers were so lovely and helpful

Great hospitality. Lovely accomodation. Beautiful surroundings.

Don’t think twice - just book immediately!!! Truly a remarkable incredible space, we can’t say enough good things. Beautiful quiet property tucked into the woods but so close to so many things including the town of Furnas. Very quick walk to the lake. We felt so peaceful here! The space itself was cozy, immaculately clean, with all the right amenities. Very comfortable bed. Amazing shower. The reception, restaurant, and housekeeping staff were all so incredible friendly and attentive. They truly went above and beyond to create a memorable, easy, peaceful stay. We loved getting to talk to everyone who worked there. And the restaurant - a MUST do when you’re there. Book a dinner reservation for the tasting menu, for sure. Easily the best restaurant we went to in Furnas area and it was right at our hotel! Delicious cocktails, thoughtful local ingredients including many from their garden, just incredible. The breakfast option was also well-stocked and delicious. Thank you to everyone!

Gustavo is a great host, upon arrival during a major power outage, Gustavo was very helpful and friendly. The house has all the comforts and is very centrally located. Recommended!

From arrival at Luis place I felt at home and in the company of a wonderful host. Luis contacted me daily to make sure everything was OK and provided recommendations for activities and places to visit. I enjoyed the pedestrian zone, the parks, the bookstore the riverside and churches all on waking distance from the apartment. I was pleased to meet his daughter Teresa who make me feel more like part of a family. I will always remember Luis kindness and charm. Thanks also for helping me get a taxi for my early ride to the airport. I will definitely book your beautiful place again on my next trip to Porto.

It seems impossible to write something new about Maria and her wonderful place at the Douro River that has not been already commented and praised by previous guests. The 5-star review rating for Casa do Rio is very well earned: it is a piece of heaven, tucked away in the Douro Valley and Maria - and not to forget her husband, Jose (who does not get enough praise in other reviews) - are exceptional hosts. We stayed for 3 weeks, with a number of our friends coming to visit us for shorter stays. Maria accommodate all of our changing check-in and check-out needs without a glitch. We enjoyed taking advantage of the many activities and entertainment options - including massages by Hugo (a master of his craft) that the location provides. One thing to be aware of: There is no shopping option and limited restaurant choices available in walking distance, hence a car is almost a necessity for a longer stay.

My stay in Sintra was truly heavenly! The peace and tranquility of the surroundings were exactly what I needed. The location was idyllic, with breathtaking views and easy access to the town's enchanting attractions. I felt completely at home and rejuvenated during my stay. The atmosphere was so peaceful, it was the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene getaway!

Staying at Quinta dos Moinhos was truly a dream come true for us. Not only was it the perfect setting for our wedding, but the property and the views were simply unforgettable. The home is absolutely stunning and one of a kind, nestled in a peaceful and picturesque location, with breathtaking views and a rich family history. Every detail of the home is filled with character, and you can feel the care and pride that has gone into preserving the home and the surrounding nature. Diogo was an exceptional host - warm, welcoming, and incredibly responsive. He even hopped on a Facetime call so we could see the property firsthand and feel more confident about our decision! Diogo is just a genuinely kind person, and from the moment we arrived he made us feel completely at ease. His hospitality and kindness were especially meaningful during such a special time in our lives. We couldn’t ask for a more special place to celebrate, and we are already looking forward to the day we can return!

This location was a hidden gem. The view is unmatched and the infinity pool was a bonus. It felt like a dream. Annemie was very welcoming and we loved the friendly cat! It definitely felt like our second home and I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for their perfect getaway under the sun.

Our stay was wonderful! After a long week of traveling it was a great place to settle down with gorgeous views and everything you need within walking distance. There were multiple options for beaches whether we wanted more quiet versus more public with food/drinks available. Grilling on the rooftop made for beautiful family dinners with a cool grill and amazing views. Laura was very helpful with showing us around, providing recommendations, and even letting us back into the home when we locked ourselves out! Easy drive (30-45 mins) to Lagos or Faro for day trips. Overall definitely recommend!

Great communication with the caring host Pedro. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the production of olive oil and we enjoyed the olive oil tasting with him. Very peaceful location with pretty views. The accommodation is modern and spacious. There are three units and the parents home on the property. All units have their own private areas, and only two units share the well maintained swimming pool. You are allowed to wander around the Quinta viewing the vineyards and olive trees. The plentiful breakfasts were made from local and traditional products. My husband and I, and our dog really enjoyed our stay.

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

Great stay, highly recommend it

Beautiful, private oasis in Pico. Great base for hiking, whale watching and swimming. We were getting in later than expected and the host was kind enough to put some delicious bread, cheeses and cookies in for us. On our last day our flight was delayed 10 hours and they were so kind to give us a late check out. Bed was super comfy, nice shower, everything we needed. We highly recommend the Stone House!

This was the most magical place for our family of five. I now want to come back and try all of Miguel’s other properties. A true highlight was taking advantage of the connections to local vendors that come with the hosts recommendations. Private dinner at the Pinta Lounge was amazing . I said to my husband at one point , “ I am so happy I could cry” - that sums up this cottage.

We absolutely loved our stay at Patricia’s home. She was responsive, helpful and the best host for our time in Douro. Would absolutely recommend her beautiful home for a relaxing getaway.

An idyllic place to spend a week with close friends. The house was made for both relaxing in gorgeous spaces and easy exploration of the area. Meal prep for a large crowd was a breeze in the well equipped kitchen. There is a great market close by and there are several restaurants within a short distance from the house. João was an incredible host, checking in a few times to make sure we were comfortable and well supplied. We felt fortunate to have landed in such a wonderful place. Thank you João!

This place is absolutely beautiful! We are in the green nature overlooking the sea. You can hear the sea in the apartment, even the windows closed! We had all our meals on the small balcony and enjoyed the site a lot with the pool. A true haven of peace! José is very welcoming, it feels like home! Go visit the village downstairs which is very friendly, there is a delicious fish restaurant within walking distance. A great place where you want to come back!

Raquel is one of the most communicative and responsive hosts I’ve ever interacted with on Airbnb. The location of this home is unbelievable. I fell in love with Albufeira from the first few hours i was there, and couldn’t believe how well-situated this place was to all the fun the area has to offer. ACs and most amenities worked well. I’m not sure if it’s a design related to homes in that area, but the open bathroom in the master bedroom, including the shower design, seemed impractical. I needed to rearrange items in that area, and wipe the floor/toilet after every shower. The iron was unusable due to a stain on the ironing surface, and risk of damaging clothes. The washing machine was small and not very effective. We needed to do a lot of loads to clean our clothes, then air dry them, but glad we had a washer! Overall, this is a great place, Raquel’s a great host, and i recommend booking, for anyone visiting Albufeira. Great for 2 ppl, but could accommodate a couple more too. Enjoy!

We really enjoyed our stay. Nice , quiet area with 10 min walk to the beach . Nice BBQ balcony area.. 10/10 Recommend
