Villa holiday rentals in Praia da Galé

Gorgeous beach just a little walk away. Town is very nice w beach bars etc. house has awesome views. Views when in pool are not good due to wall. Suggest to maybe put up acrylic wall? Host was super responsive. We loved our stay at this very large house!

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!

Exceptional setting, quality home with hosts with onions (French expression😂! ) We are fortunate not to have shared the facilities because we were almost alone on the premises: Hammam, Jacuzzi, Massage , pool , Sauna 😍 The Villa is isolated from the rest of the city but ⚠️ be careful there are 2 or 3 additional lodges. In any case Mitchel and Selina are really great, respond quickly to the group's questions, adapt very quickly too and are smiling and full of nice little touches: breakfast several times, welcome beers etc ... Thanks again to them And I can't wait to come back in a few years to see the improvements that have been made to this little corner of heaven 🥰

Absolutely perfect stay — 10/10! This was the ideal place for a visit to the Algarve. Rosa was hands down the best host I’ve ever had on Airbnb. From the moment I booked, she went above and beyond. Before I even arrived, she sent a detailed guide with everything I needed to know about the property, plus amazing recommendations for local restaurants, sights, and hidden gems. The home itself was spotless, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a fantastic stay. I truly couldn’t recommend this place more — I’ll definitely be coming back!

I cannot praise Antonio and this villa enough! It saved our holiday. We contacted Antonio after our original villa booking was not suitable, so we desperately needed somewhere else to go. We luckily found this place and it was perfect! Firstly Antonio was amazing, we took a taxi from our original booking and met him at the local Supermarket which is just around the corner from the villa, so he could show us the way. Once inside he showed us around and how everything worked and gave us some good restaurant recommendations. He left us a bottle of delicious wine from his own Vineyard, a lovely detail after all the stress. The villa itself is stunning, nice big pool, big clean rooms each with a bathroom, which suited us and our 3 teenagers. The beach is a 2 minute walk and has a really chilled surfy vibe. There’s a pizza restaurant on the walk to the beach which is superb. Next door to that a cool little bar/cafe and at least 5 really good restaurants on the beach. 100% will be back!

Casa Mu is a beautiful home with zen like qualities and an expansive view. We were staying at the house during the black out. Matthijs reached out to us while the cell towers were still live and came by to open the gates manually so we could get back to the house. Yannick stopped by later in the day to give us updates. The home has a Big Green egg and we had bought charcoal the day we arrived so we were able to cook dinner. Thankfully power was down for only a short time. Casa Mu has one of the best equipped kitchens I’ve ever seen in a rental. We bought oranges and limes from a roadside stand and made fresh juice using the electric juicer. Beds are super comfortable and bathrooms well equipped. I would suggest bringing bar soap for the shower. There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room to hang out both inside and outside the house. The pool is not heated, but I did go in. A bit bracing, but not too cold. For food shopping, go to Apolonia in Lagoa. Great store that has all you need

Beautiful villa, great host Marco was always responsive to any questions we had , and couldn't be more helpful. Good location to beach and lots of nice restaurants. Portuguese are very helpful and lovely . Would highly recommend

This house has a gorgeous view of the sea! Perched high on the cliff and only a few feet from steps that leads directly to a first rate restaurant and direct access to the beach with shops, restaurants and bars. Each of the four bedrooms has a sea view and an ensuite bathroom! The outdoor areas are spacious, with quality furniture and pool loungers...and the pool is sparkling, clean and in great condition!! There is a Nespresso machine but be sure to bring your own pods if you are staying long.There are none at the local grocery store to buy. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with plenty of cups, glasses, plates, bowls, and silverware. We rented the unit in late May during an annual fly hatching season. We had to deal with thousands of flies in the house when we arrived. We were given warning by the owner a few days before arrival. This is not something that can be controlled as it is a seasonable problem, but you should be aware of this if you plan to travel around that time

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.

Madalena was a fabulous host, really friendly and always a quick response to my messages.. a stunning location, the photos really don't do it justice. We stayed for 4 nights, enjoying walking to nearby Loule. A supermarket just 5 mins walk away and a cafe. Would not hesitate to go back, thank you so much Madalena

The pictures do not do justice for this place. There are mulberry trees, fig trees, almond trees, strawberry plant, herb garden, and so much more. Sitting outside you can enjoy the beautiful Mountain View along with view of the ocean . Miriam was always very responsive to all our questions. We were a family of 5: 23& 22 year old girls & our 15 year old son. They enjoyed the clean pool and the scenery as well. We were all sad leaving this airbn.

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!

amazing villa. had such a great 5 days here. villa is stunning and hosts were excellent. swimming pool was a lovely temperature and villa was exactly as described. we would love to stay there again! only slight negative was it was very hot and although there was no air conditioning.(which we were aware of) the fans in the bedrooms could be a bit better!

Great time at a beautiful villa, perfect for a large group. Ubers and taxi only 15/20 mins to busy location. Would definitely recommend.

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.

Fantastic accommodation, clean and well kept. Close to bars and places to eat with the beach only a 10 minute walk.

My friends and I had a wonderful long weekend in the villa. The house was just as imagined and the pool and outside area exceeded expectations. It was a beautiful and quiet location. There is an Aldi a short walk away for all food and we got taxi’s via Uber to visit the Marina and the old town. The taxi’s were really quick and a good price. They were very responsive to messages before the trip and for the check in details.

We were a large group, with 8 adults and 2 children (1 and 3 years). We had a great two weeks at the villa. The property really has everything you need to have a great summer sun pass vacation. The most beautiful beaches of the can be reached within 10 minutes by car, e.g.: Praia Marinha. The kitchen is equipped with everything your heart desires, incl. Juicer, coffee maker, etc... For us, the pizza baking in the pizza stone oven was a highlight. At the beginning, there were a few small issues with the pool, but they were resolved immediately after our report. The property managers are in constant contact, so you can actually get rid of questions all the time. If you're not necessarily driving into the countryside, you actually just have to leave the villa for shopping:)

The villa is very comfortable for 6 people. The surroundings area has a few very nice restaurants. The kitchen could do with some large pans etc, suitable for the hob, for if you are going to cook. Uber or taxi is so easy to get and never more than a few min. They are very reasonably priced . Old Town just a few min in a taxi. The swimming pool is really nice and clean, going from shallow to deep. The sunbeds are very comfortable, and there is plenty of space all round the villa for if you prefer a sunny or shady spot. 10 min walk to nearest shop, it was great once you got to know it. Lidl a car ride away. Beautiful villa, lovely local restaurants with fabulous tasty food. All in all a lovely place to stay.

Perfect stay in this lovely Villa. I stayed with my pregnant fiance and the walk up the steps from the main square is not so bad, she was well able for it. Villa was great, no complaints at all really and it's so close to the main Old town square (5 mins up steps) but it's also not loud at all. Viktoria was very helpful getting us checked in. Will be happy to stay again next time in Albufeira! Really can't say enough about how convenient the location is!

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!

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.

Excellent holiday for family of 8, ages 17 to 62. Very peaceful and private, yet only 15 min walk to shops, bars and restaurants. Hire car was helpful although Uber was such good value, would not bother next time. Villa is well laid out and works well for a group, lovely pool area, games area a big hit. Afonso was very responsive when hoover stopped working, very polite and friendly. Aldi is closest shop which offers great value. Also used the local Coviran which is well stocked for a small shop. The Continente at the Algrave Shopping Centre (10 mins in car) has everything you ever need. Would highly recommend, great value.
