Villa holiday rentals in Praia da Rocha

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 ☺️

We spent 10 days at the villa. It's located in a lovely quiet suburb, with a very easy drive into Portimao town and the marina. The villa is very comfortable, spacious and the pool is beautiful - no chlorine! The views over the hillside are lovely, you do feel you are in a rural setting yet it's just 20 minutes into the town. We would highly recommend.

Vielen Dank, dass wir Gas bei Ihnen sein durften! Das Haus, die Lage als auch die Einrichtung waren zweifelsfrei hervor. Absolut wundervoll und äußerst stilvoll eingerichtet. Mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Der Austausch mit dem Gastgebern war schnell und einfach. Absolut empfehlenswert und jeden Euro wert!! Klare Empfehlung. Ganz herzlichen Dank und beste Grüße aus Deutschland Max, Miriam und die Crew

Cadre d’exception , maison de qualité avec des hôtes aux petits oignons ( expression française 😂 ! ) Nous avons la chance de ne pas avoir a partagé les installations car nous étions quasiment seuls sur les lieux : Hammam, Jacuzzi, Massage , piscine , Sauna 😍 La Villa est isolée du reste de la ville mais attention ⚠️ il y a 2 ou 3 lodges supplémentaires . En tout cas Mitchel et Selina sont réellement formidables, répondent rapidement aux questionnements du groupe, s’adaptent très rapidement également et sont souriants et pleins de petites attentions agréables : petit déjeuné à plusieurs reprises, bières de bienvenue etc … Merci encore à eux Et j’ai hâte de revenir dans quelques années pour voir les améliorations qui ont été apporté à ce petit coin de paradis 🥰

Beautiful home in a gorgeous location. The view out the front door was spectacular. And the pool was very private and peaceful.

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.

Unfortunately writing a positive review means that more people will want to go , which will have the probable effect of making it more difficult to book !! However it was exactly as advertised, great spot, you could just sit on the balcony/sun terrace and look at the sea and beach views. The house was very clean and the beds/pillows super comfy. The hosts were on hand via a social network that I’m not allowed to mention 🤷 very quickly, to be honest couldn’t fault a thing. Will definitely book again……if we con get in 🤣

The most amazing place we’ve ever stayed. We travel as a family of 7 and use Airbnb regularly all over the world. This is the best presented, best location, so close to fun experiences, history, culture, beaches. We all loved it and wish we’d stayed longer. The house is beautiful, well thought out and stunningly decorated, with well curated art. It felt like home much more than the average Airbnb experience. Highly recommended.

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.

The villa was absolutely beautiful. It looked exactly like the photos. It accommodated 6 adults and 2 children comfortably. Whilst we were there the towels were changed, beds were stripped, pool cleaned, gardens maintained. The villa is very well cared for. Agree with other reviews that you either need a car or be prepared to get a taxi (7 euros to the marina). The walk is doable but part of it is along a quick road with blind corners and no pavement. We didn’t feel safe doing it. We had one issue that was dealt with - thank you for the responsive communication. Thank you for the welcome drink left in the fridge. We were met personally on arrival and could check in early due to a morning flight. We would 100% stay here again and recommend.

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!

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!

Tout simplement wow! Le paradis sur Terre! Nous avons adoré loger à la villa Tiphanelli. Une propriété très bien entretenue, belle grande piscine, vue sur l’océan, à distance de marche de la Praia de Marinha. Le seul problème est que nous voulons déjà revenir! J’aime beaucoup quand les hôtes prennent soin de laisser de l’équipement/jouets pour les enfants. Ma fille de 2 ans était tellement contente de découvrir que les gens qui nous avaient prêter leur maison avaient penser de laisser des jouets aux enfants!! J’apprécie la présence de gel douche, shampoing et revitalisant dans les douche. L’extracteur à jus 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 Nous nous sommes fait des jus d’orange fraîchement pressé à tout les matins. Un vrai régale avec les délicieuses oranges du Portugal. Nous avions lu que la villa pouvait être difficile à trouver, mais puisque j’ai localisé la villa sur Google Map avant d’arriver, nous n’avons eu aucune difficulté à trouver. Je recommande à 200%

My wife Beth and I just had our wedding at the tiny whale lodge and it could not have been more perfect! Every single detail was considered and taken care of and the team we met could not have been more friendly, helpful and responsive. We would come back every year if we could!!

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.

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!

Maria was an amazing host and great contact before and during the stay. Ester was also fantastic and made the check in process simple. The house was beautiful and the resort amazing. Will definitely be back

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.

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

Our party of 8 stayed at Cristina's Villa for 10 days at the beginning of June. It is truly gorgeous, spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, super large bedrooms all with en-suite and as already mentioned on other reviews the view from the terrace is amazing. So lovely to have the pool with sun loungers, many a happy hour was spent there enjoying the sunshine. Cristina is a great host… very helpful and quick to respond if we needed her for any queries or local recommendations etc. We didn’t hire a car but very good beach bars and restaurants are nearby.. we also walked into Lagos several times returning by taxis which were readily available from the main road near the old town… Pingo Doce supermarket are happy to call a taxi for you … Also we were lucky to find the services of N&E taxi company… Vitor and Nuno offer a fantastic friendly service. We all had a great holiday and can thoroughly recommend the Villa of Magical Light.

Das Haus ist sehr schön. Steht im Neubau Gebiet( es werden noch einige Hauser gebaut). Wir wurden von Maria herzlich begrüßt. Sie hat uns alles erklärt und gezeigt. Hat uns auch viele tolle Tipps gegeben. Restaurants, Sehenswürdigkeiten etc. Sie war auch immer für uns erreichbar. Auch Salz, Pfeffer und Öl waren vor Ort( nicht wie manche es geschrieben haben). Wir waren zu 8 im Haus( Erwachsene) hatten genug Besteck und Geschirr. Waschmaschine wurde auch benutzt:-) Mit Shampoo und Seife war jedes Bad ausgestattet. Uns hat es gut gefallen. Vielen Dank.

Great villa that was perfect for our group! Stayed here this summer with a group of couples and the villa perfect for what we needed. Beautiful outdoor area and Chris was a great host.
