Family-friendly holiday rentals in São Bartolomeu de Messines

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

Die Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, es fehlt an nichts. Paulo reagiert innerhalb kurzer Zeit und ist freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Die komplette Anlage macht einen sehr guten Eindruck. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können diese Anlage und Wohnung zu 100% weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank

Es war eine bezaubernde Unterkunft. Sie war groß für zwei Personen und wir haben uns gleich wohl gefühlt. Die Kommunikation war unkompliziert. Alles in allem waren wir sehr zufrieden.

Having been to Tavira before I knew exactly where the house was situated. I needed accommodation for my brother and I plus our father and his companion, both mid eighties. The location was absolutely perfect being right in the centre of town and with its lovely balconies offering an outside space perfect for “people watching “ to keep the interest for the older generation. Plenty of bars, restaurants, patisserie’s and shops all a nearby level walk. The kitchen is well equipped, rooms a nice size and whilst it would be difficult for a disabled person with the internal steps it was fine for our 87 year olds. One flight up to the living area which also has a shower room and one more to the next level with two bedrooms with a shared balcony and then another to the master bedroom. Would definitely recommend and return. Many Thanks

Excellent séjour en Algarve. Tout était conforme à nos attentes, et le logement très bien situé, à proximité des restaurants et commerces. La piscine est un plus non négligeable.

Tout était parfait ! Le logement était en parfait état, très propre et à proximité du centre-ville à pied. La piscine est un vrai + ! Je recommande:)

Our stay was wonderful, the townhouse is beautiful and in a very peaceful spot, yet so close to town! The hot tub was great in the evenings. It was super clean and has beautiful Portuguese charm. The space is large and private, it is nice to park your car right at the door to bring luggage in. Communication and recommendations were good. We would definitely stay again when in the beautiful Algarve! Thanks, Mia

We travel with our family every three years. This year was Portugal. We spent one week in the Algarve at Steve’s home. The home was perfect for eight adults, four children and two infants. The house had a great layout for a big family. The pool was wonderful so relaxing every afternoon to come back and swim. Steve and Nathalie were great house. Great recommendations for food and activities, including car rental rentals. If we come back to Portugal, we would stay here again thank you for a fantastic holiday home.

7 friends had a great stay at this villa. It's so spacious, and great views with a great pool area. It's easy and cheap to get into town through Ubers (5 euro), and just a great place to relax. The rooms were all nice and big with en-suites, and showers were good. Kitchen was well stocked as well, and we had lots of BBQs - which being gas was quick and convenient. Highly recommend to friends and/or families that would want to say. You'd struggle to find any problems with this place.

La maison pour débrayer, dans la simplicite, ressourçante. Elle est très bien équipée en vaisselle, linge de maison, on a l’împression d’arriver chez des amis qui ont tout laissé à disposition. Le grand plus est cette belle plage à 2 pas . C’est juste passé trop vite

Very peaceful, clean villa with great pool and things for young children to play with. Car is essential to access local amenities. Host Carmen very informative and friendly.

We had a lovely stay at this cosy little apartment — truly a hidden gem in Albufeira! The location couldn’t have been better, with easy walking access to the Old Town, the beach, key attractions, great restaurants, and just a short stroll to the marina for boat tours to the Benagil caves. The apartment was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxed stay. Isabel was incredibly kind and highly accommodating, especially considering we were travelling with our infant. She made sure we were comfortable and had all we needed. We felt very welcome and at home throughout our stay. We’d absolutely love to return to this place the next time we’re in Albufeira. Highly recommended!

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour chez Pedro. L’appartement est juste sublime, on s’y sentait tellement bien que nous somme même partis avec un peu de tristesse. Le logement est lumineux,chaleureux ,spacieux. Nous y sommes allés avec notre petite fille de 14 mois tout était parfait pour elle aussi jeux enfant, vaisselle bébé, lit bébé, chaise haute, baby phone, baignoire bébé. Nous étions vraiment comme à la maison. La vue sur la ville et la plage était magnifique aussi. Un vrai dépaysement pour nous. L’environnement est génial il y a tout à proximité. Plage, piscine, magasin, De quoi retirer de l’argent en liquide en bas de l’immeuble. Tout était vraiment impeccable. Merci beaucoup Pedro pour votre disponibilité, votre réactivité et votre rapidité pour répondre au message. Nous espérons pouvoir revenir dans un de vos logements bientôt nous en gardons de magnifiques souvenirs.

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

Wer Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit sucht , hat hier den richtigen Ort gefunden. Mit viel Liebe zum Detail wurde dieser Ort gestaltet . Die Terrasse ist wunderbar um die Aussicht auf die Pinienwälder und die Ruhe zu genießen. Es gibt keinen Fernseher , Abschalten ist garantiert . Wir hatten einen Hund mit dabei und da müsst ihr wissen , dass das Grundstück nicht vollständig eingezäunt ist , der vorhandene Zaun hat Löcher oder ist teilweise defekt ! Auch kommen vom Nachbarn zwei Herdenschutzhunde zu Besuch , diese sind riesig , aber super lieb ! Wer Angst vor Hunden hat , darf hier keinen Urlaub machen! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt …. Danke Ana

We had a fantastic stay at Susana’s place. The accommodation was beautiful and spotlessly clean (very happy to let my little one crawl around on the floors it was so clean!). Much bigger than the photos. Pool area was very peaceful. Lots of amenities without being cluttered. Well stocked kitchen and generous welcome pack. Restaurants and beautiful beaches within walking distance. Great communication and very helpful host. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Cor and Lucia's apartment! The space was incredibly well-equipped, spacious, and spotless—everything we needed was right was available. The apartment felt like a true home away from home. Cor and Lucia were such kind and responsive hosts, always quick to communicate and eager to make sure everything was perfect for our stay. We were also warmly welcomed by Carla, who were both pleasant and extremely helpful throughout our visit. It’s clear that the entire team genuinely cares about their guests' experience. Highly recommended—would absolutely stay here again!

Das Apartment war geräumig und alles war sauber und ordentlich. Die Anlage ist schön und wir haben den Pool sehr gerne genutzt. Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber war einwandfrei und wir wurden bei Anreise und Check-In flexibel unterstützt. Insgesamt waren wir rundum zufrieden und können die Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen.

Nous avons passé deux semaines dans le condo d'Inês, une hôte très attentionnée. Le condo est spacieux, bien équipé, lumineux et très confortable. Un grand balcon intime situé devant un paysagement unique. On s'y sent en vacances, dans le calme et la chaleur. La plage est à 10 minutes à pied. Tout près, une compagnie très fiable de location de voitures: Ready 2 drive. Bref, une belle découverte! Merci Inês!

Nicely furnished, modern flat in Albufeira marina. Clean and lots of natural light. Comfortable balcony with a view of the shared pool and the marina. Lots of restaurants right downstairs. Convenient parking spot in building. Anabela, the Host greeted us and was responsive and helpful during our stay. The bathroom could use a makeover…the only outlet in the bathroom did not work, the bathtub drain was rusty and the shower curtain needs to changed. The kitchen is quaint and fully functional. The drip coffeemaker needs to be replaced or at least replace the filter. Thankfully, they also had a Nespresso coffee maker. Washer was a plus. If your stay is longer than a week, you will get fresh linens an towels. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay.

Great place to stay. Great host giving us lots of useful tips. Very friendly, exactly as described. Good location for accessing beaches, towns and countryside. a Although you do have to drive everywhere. Would go back tomorrow!!

Carlota’s place is located in amazing Villa with beautiful surroundings! Amazing beaches to get to and her local recommendations were excellent ! The pool was great but unfortunately due to the weather it was a bit too cold to use and shower facilities were under construction. The only downside is the bed option, as described from the picture, the main bedroom is with 2 twin beds and a sofa bed. One big bed would’ve been more comfortable but breathtakingly beautiful view makes everything ok. We had some issue with laundry machine as it wasn’t in a good condition but we cleaned it and bought strong scent laundry detergent made it usable again! Wonderful memories from the beautiful landscape and activities and especial thanks to warm and heart full neighbor downstairs! Thank you again and it was a pleasant stay!

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
