House holiday rentals in Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo

Orlando and his wife Armanda are super hosts. They are very friendly and communicative. Their place is very peaceful and lovely. They have allowed us to pick up fresh oranges and eggs . We have loved our stay in their place. We just wish the weather was more warmer so we could use a pool more ☀️

We absolutely loved our stay at casa do vale! The villa is stunning, very spacious and stylish. We were 6 adults and a baby and had everything we needed! Perfect that there are 3 bathrooms and we loved the outdoor shower! Kitchen was very well stocked and great to have both indoor and outdoor seating areas. The pool is amazing though could do with another umbrella for a bit of extra shade when it’s very hot. The gardens around the villa are also so lovely. Feels very private and peaceful. There is a small shop a 5 minute walk away which is excellent for topping up on essentials. Bigger shops and bars/ restaurants are only a short drive away. Very easy to get Ubers into Tavira and Olhão also. Overall had an excellent holiday staying at Michelle’s place - would highly recommend!

We stayed here with my wife and our two young kids, and it was exactly the kind of peaceful countryside escape we were hoping for. The house itself was spotless and incredibly well-appointed — from the basics like coffee, tea, and sugar to thoughtful extras like shampoo, body wash, plenty of towels, and even laundry soap. It really felt like everything had been considered to make our stay comfortable. The setting is just beautiful, surrounded by farmland, with wildflowers in the air and the occasional soft sound of sheep bells in the distance. It was so quiet and serene, a perfect place to truly unwind. Our kids loved the pool and games room, and the strider bikes were a huge hit — such a great touch for little ones. Francisco was a fantastic host. He made us feel welcome right away and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a peaceful, family-friendly getaway in the countryside

We stayed here for a week and it was perfect! The beaches are only a 15-20 minute walk away or a 10 minute bike ride! Definitely recommend that. The house is great and the garden is beautiful! The plunge pool was perfect for the hot days! I would 100% recommend this place :)

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.

We loved our stay. It was peaceful and private .It was so well presented,clean and organised.Very central and accessible.A very enjoyable stay with the owners very responsive at all times.Would highly recommend this beautiful villa

Gorgeous time. Recommend to anyone. Would come back.

We stayed at Isabel’s villa for 9 nights, we were 4 adults and 4 kids. The villa is fantastic - much better than the pictures, well equipped with everything you need and very spacious (big rooms, lots of outdoor space, bbq and a big pool). We paid to have the pool heated which was beneficial as some days it was a bit chilly. The villa is fairly remote, we had cars but also used Ubers to get around. It’s about a 3-4 min drive to the nearest supermarket and a 5 min drive to the main town and beach. Isabel recommended some day trips and local restaurants, all of which were great. She was also flexible with check in and check out times which was super handy with the kids, and was very responsive throughout the trip when we had questions. We’d 100% recommend this villa for a family holiday and hope to return!

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 loved our stay at the Villa. It is in an absolutely beautiful area, with beautiful views of the sea from the pool. The bedrooms are excellent, with loads of space in the kitchen and living area. Our favourite things were the SONOS sound system and the Barbecue, both made our trip superb. The padel court is a bit of walk but well worth playing- and of course, it’s very easy to get taxis. And then both of the hosts, Anders and Diego were extremely helpful. Both extremely responsive at all times and made our stay even better. We will definitely try to come back next year, everyone in my group had the best time!

Absolutely loved our stay at the villa. The house is amazing and the gardens are out of this world! Brilliant location for families as it’s really quiet but within walking distance to the town. The house is so clean - everything was spotless.

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!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Ahua Portugal, where our host Anne guided us with thoughtful local tips and quick responses. Nestled on a peaceful hillside above Seixe Valley, the modern house had every comfort we needed and felt like the perfect retreat. We were deeply inspired by Anne’s dedication to the land. She has led a reforestation project across her 18-hectare estate, planting over 30,000 cork trees to restore the forest after wildfires. Tip: Do plan to bring a reliable car. The unpaved access roads are best navigated with a vehicle that has good clearance. If you’re seeking a serene, private getaway with a caring, responsive host deeply connected to her land, Ahua Portugal is an exceptional choice! Five stars all the way, and thank you, Anne!

The villa is exactly as shown in the pictures - beautiful and very well maintained. We were particularly impressed by the fantastic view of the mountains and the wonderful pool, ideal for cooling off. The beach can be reached on foot in about 20 minutes, by car it takes a few minutes. Communication was always fast and helpful, check-in even worked smoothly at 2 a.m. We felt completely comfortable and would be happy to come back!

Our stay was simply wonderful - we lacked nothing! The communication with Peter was excellent, he was always available, helped us with all questions and gave great tips for the area. The accommodation was very clean and well equipped - everything you need is available. We especially liked the large garden, which offers a lot of privacy, as well as the pool, which is perfect for cooling off. We felt completely comfortable and will definitely be happy to come back! Thanks a lot Peter!

This is a wonderful house in a dreamy area. We spent a week with our small children and were able to relax and explore the various towns and beaches of the area. We were blown away by the spacious yet comfortable interior and its magical master bed room on the 1st floor with windows to all sides including a few of the neighboring vineyards and the sea. The owner clearly payed attention to the little details that turn a house into a home, like a Bluetooth speaker in the living room or a well equipped kitchen. Staff members as super friendly as well. The service included one room service/cleaning of the place mid-week which we also appreciated. We highly recommend the house to anyone seeking a bit of quite time in the middle of the busy Algarve.

The accommodation and entire outdoor area is really very nice and extremely well maintained. We enjoyed the time at the pool and the view very much. In addition, the accommodation is very well equipped and offers everything you need. We got a baby bed and high chair for our daughter. The distance to the accommodation is not to be underestimated and you definitely need a rental car. The accommodation is just right if you want to spend a few nice relaxed days 🙂

Very comfortable. As described, it has no kitchen but has a toaster, kettle and kitchenware, as well as a drainer. We have two little ones and they have been delighted. Tiago is very attentive and kind.

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.

We loved our short stay at Casa Boa Vista. The weather was great for February, so we even got to use the pool. The beautiful views definitely do justice to the name of the house! Communication with Gabriele and the managers went smoothly. Very friendly and always available. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home Gabriele. We hope to return in the future.

The house was great. Perfect position if you want to be staying in central Tavira. Jean-Louis and Lee were very welcoming, efficient, kind and responsive. We would not hesitate to recommend this property.

We had a lovely stay at Nunos. He's the perfect host and the location and accommodation are really lovely. We'd stay again.

We loved staying at Joe's place! It was comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. The surroundings are peaceful and beautiful, with nice trails for dog walking. At night, the sky was starlit. 10 minute drive or so from Tavira where there are big supermarkets. Recommend if you want to be in the backcountry of Algarve.

We had a brilliant stay here. The apartment was beautiful and had everything we needed. The pool and loungers were fabulous. Yana is an excellent host. She could not have been more friendly or helpful.
