House holiday rentals in Praia da Lota

We have stayed in Vilamoura/Quarteria for over 10 years, this time we returned with our 10 month old son so we wanted to stay somewhere that suited our needs a bit better than a typical hotel/apartment and this hidden gem did not disappoint. The villa was perfect (maybe a little bigger than expected from photos) & I couldn't recommend it enough. Perfect location to Vilamoura marina with just a short walk, cant believe we haven't come across it sooner. We will defo be back! Loved it.

We enjoyed a very relaxing and easy 7 days at Marie's house. The place is stunning, even more so than the pictures, and the effort that has gone into maintaining it is evident. Marie was always responsive when we had any questions either about the house or the local area, and waited to meet us after our late night flight, so we wouldn't miss the turning for the house. Getting into Tavira is super easy, the only consideration is that the driveway of the house is long and very bumpy. You don't need a 4x4 or anything, but it was a bit of a surprise the first time we got there! Would very much recommend this place and the local area. Merci, Marie!

Fabulous in all respects: Carla, (her communications, help, humour and charm), the Villa, (comfort, facilities and cleanliness), the area, (quiet, peaceful, relaxing and an easy walk into town) and Tavira, (restaurants, bars, the boat trip to the island and chilled atmosphere). We’ll be back!

We had a fantastic stay at Amanda’s Villa. Had everything you needed for the stay - amazing amenities (especially in the kitchen). Was really accommodating for a larger group and we all had a great time. Would definitely recommend!!

We had a great stay, it’s a great place for peaceful relaxation. Plenty of outdoor space and the pool is great to cool off in.

A Perfect Stay at Casa Clara! Our stay at Casa Clara in Santa Luiza was nothing short of magical. The house itself is stunning—elegantly designed, spotlessly clean, and filled with natural light. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, blending modern comfort with authentic Portuguese charm. The outdoor space was a dream: peaceful, private, and perfect for relaxing mornings. We especially loved the proximity to the charming village of Santa Luiza, which feels like a hidden gem. There are good restaurants, supermarket/bakery & pharmacy 2 mins walk from the house. Check in/out was seamless & communication with Patricia was excellent. We felt truly at home and didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend Casa Clara to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious getaway in the Algarve.

Gorgeous time. Recommend to anyone. Would come back.

Carla’s Villa Abaton ,Estoi (pronounced”Stoi”) exceeded all expectations, very spacious ,clean ,comfortable and quiet, solid structure keeping noise in the Villa to a minimum to other rooms. Will recommend Villa to anyone who wants an authentic (Rural)area to stay in. Top stars go to Carla’s Villa

Nelson was an excellent host, always ready to help. The house is 10 minutes from the beach and without any noise problems in the adjacent areas. I recommend this vacation housing

Such a nice house and nice surroundings with oranges around the corner! Perfect house for us, who were there as a larger group. Nice rooms and perfect with larger social areas where everyone could socialize and the children could play. Extra plus for the order in the kitchen and an incredibly helpful and accommodating host!

We were pleased with the accommodations. The location was superb, proximity to the beach A1. Walked the beach almost daily. Explored many different places using the train. Hired a car and went further afield. Nipped over to Sevilla, and walked the city. Tried lunch and dinner in many of the local restaurants and were extremely pleased. All in all the best holiday, I personally have had, ever!

We absolutely loved this apartment! Charming, stylish, clean, well equipped and perfect hosting. The outdoor spaces are amazing. We particularly enjoyed the ground level courtyard which is really a second living room. The location is amazing, 5-7 minutes from everything. We went to the islands several times which were such a surprise, so easy to get to, quaint and uncrowded with white sand beaches and clear water. Highly recommend.

Maria Teresa's house met expectations: super beautiful and well maintained, in a very quiet area, close to everything on foot and with everything we needed. The terrace is excellent for outdoor dining. We were all very pleased with our stay and sorry not to stay longer :)

A magical, private and special location! We had a really wonderful stay

Absolutely loved Mona & Matthias' house. It's quirky, quaint, superbly situated and spotless. Everything you can possibly need is available and lots of things you wouldn't even think of. Been to Tavira many times, love the place and loved this house.

We have rented Casa Sturdust which we have upgraded from one of the cottages as our friends decided to join. The house , the garden the whole set up is truly magical. Agni and Kuba are interesting, kind and generous hosts and incredibly helpful. The beaches are breathtaking, the food is incredible, weather was perfect. For 6 year old curious girl and 2.5 year old active boy the garden is save heaven full or little quirky spots for them to play independently,while us still being able to keep an eye on them. The other guests have been also delight - friendly & respectful with kids making new friends to hang out. It was by far the best family holiday we had. As an interior designer I can confirm Kuba's and Agnes place is not an ordinary house but beautifully crafted, one of its kind home. Cats were added bonus as well as lost parrot - we named him happy- who landed and stayed with us ( now found a new home with Agni and Kuba) . We are already planning to return next year. Thank you.

This was the perfect location for a getaway weekend with our family of 5! Catherine gave amazing recommendations on what to do around the area as well as local restaurants and stores! The house was perfect for our baby and two young kids. We loved the easy access to the dunes to go on “adventure walks” and how cozy the house was. It was so quiet and in such a beautiful location!

We had a great week at Philippe’s place. The apartment had everything we needed and was in a great spot to explore Olhão. The roof terrace gets the sun from Midday and was a lovely place to enjoy a meal and a drink in the evening. Philippe was nothing but helpful and we’d stay again if ever back in town!

This place is a gem. First, it is spacious and well laid out. It has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 balconies (one quite large), a large living room, dining room and kitchen with its large kitchen table. Of course, the backyard is to die for. It has a pristine pool, lounge chairs, a sofa and an outdoor dining table. I spent a lot of time in that yard, and it was peaceful and tranquil. The kitchen is super well equipped, and one can make everything from a simple sandwich to a full blown meal there. How comfortable was this place? I found myself spending a lot of time next to the pool even though the beach is mere minutes from the house! it had everything I needed so I ended up spending a lot of time there, just chilling. The host and the manager were both super friendly and attentive. 5 stars all the way.

A lovely week in a beautiful house. Wonderful views over the Rio Formosa. We were unfortunate with the weather but it didn’t spoil our stay in this beautiful house. Laura was there to greet us and show us around when we arrived. We would love to return at a sunnier time !

We are just back from a week's stay and would highly recommend this house & would like thank Cristina & Salvador. The location is very central and close to all the restaurants / cafes & shops. Also it was a short walk to the boat out to Tavira Island & the Train station in Tavira which we recommend for day trips. Eating in was made all the easier with all the local fresh produce found at the market and the roof top terrace made for relaxing peaceful evenings.

Exactly as described. Attentive and accomodating host, lovely location surrounded by wonderful restaurants, very clean and well equipped.

Really lovely home in a perfect location within Santa Luzia, while being close to Tavira and local beaches.

Really nice, kind and welcoming hosts. typical Portuguese home. quiet place clean with all the essentials to stay . the beach, restaurants , center within walking distance it's great to fall hard from hosts so nice and available for their guests . i highly recommend it and we will come back.
