Holiday rentals with a pool in Silves

Patrick was super communicative and helpful from booking all the way to the day before we flew, especially as Portugal had the blackout the day before we were meant to arrive! He was incredibly helpful at keeping us updated on the local situation in Silves. The villa itself was better than the photos, my parents had the master bedroom and were very happy with their ensuite and balcony! The pool is unheated so perfect for roasting hot weather but takes a little more getting used to in the lower 20s. The kitchen and outdoor BBQ area had everything we needed and we enjoyed the alfresco dining area very much. As one other guest mentioned, bring earplugs as the local dogs tend to bark at night. The villa is really well located for Silves and Carvoeiro, both towns we really loved and had some great food!

Isabel is an extremely warm and welcoming host—she gave great recommendations and was so friendly!! The location is great and the backyard pool is amazing!!!

Stayed here as a family of 6 in May 2025. The villa is absolutely fantastic, all very modern design with a fantastic pool area. Carla is a fantastic host, excellent cominication and very responsive. The location was ideal to visit areas such Albufeira, Alvor, Portimao - all within 20mins by car. Our trip was superb and the villa was central to this.....cannot recommend this place enough, shame we only had a week!!

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!

Joao is extremely responsive and helpful . He was very flexible about check in and out times The Villa is stunning, even better than the photos show, clean comfortable and well equipped. We hope to return soon Thank you Joao

No review anyone could write could sum up why YOU needed to book this beautiful villa for your holiday. As we know, sometimes it’s also people that make the place. We can conclude that not only the villa was exactly what we needed but the welcome and nano second communication via text made us feel like we just knew this couple love making peoples experiences the best. Thanks again for everything.

Do you want a great, luxurious and yet super cozy holiday in the Algarve? Don't hesitate: this house is perfect. Very neat and spacious house with all the necessary amenities (also various toiletries available for you), beautiful decor, very cozy. Quiet area. Not a holiday home, but a really luxurious family house where you just don't want to leave. Also very spacious garden (lawn, orchards, spacious driveway) with a superb swimming pool and sun loungers/umbrellas. Laura's welcome was great, not intrusive, but just always readily available you had to need something (which wasn't for us, we really had everything our heart desired). During our week-long stay, cleaning was also done in between (with new towels), the garden taken care of and the pool cleaned. In short, did I mention that this house is perfect and its money is completely worth it?

Amazing stay just like when we previously stayed in the villa, exceptionally clean, and beautiful just how you would like it!. Emy and Leo are extremely attentive and friendly and will make sure your stay is top notch! Can’t recommend this place enough! The local town armacao is a 3 minute drive or 15 minute walk and filled with everything you need, from restaurants to bars to boat rides and beaches. 10/10 from myself and the family again :)

We weren’t disappointed when we walked through the door, stunning! The views of the river and marina are next to none, loved watching the little egret, storks, grey heron and even a blue heron! Miguel and Liv were attentive, making sure we had settled. The marina is full of fish and so clean. Very easy walking distance to fab restaurants and old town. We will definitely return. :)

Bruno’s place was exactly what was advertised. 10 minute walk to one of the best beaches in Europe and 10 minutes to city center. Perfect for my family and our short trip to Lagos. Bruno communicated daily and gave some tips about what to do in Lagos. Overall a great stay and would book again.

Fabulous location! Beach, amazing boardwalk, and town very near, just lots of stairs! But that is beautiful Portugal! Views from porch were fantastic; everything you needed was in the kitchen and it was a very welcoming place. We didn’t use the pool, but it is a good size and well maintained. Master shower is a bit tight, but a big beautiful bath is 5 steps away, so really no big deal. I would definitely book here again if the opportunity arises!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kasia's place. Kasia was extremely helpful with providing us with invaluable information regarding things to do and places to go whilst in Lagos. We would definitely stay there again.

Delighted: location & pool and view from the balcony (very private). Bolt from train / town €3-5. Apartment is basic, outdoor furniture looks new. Marcos & Elaine take pride & care of the apartment . Elaine baked Pastel de Nata, truly the best I’ve had to date in Portugal. The only frustration, advertising a coffee maker, and not say it requires “special sized coffee pods” or where to get them. I specifically asked at check in about the pods, Marcos agreed they were there, neither one of us looked in the box. An hour later, noticed only a few pods & I messaged Marco showing him a photo & he said that was all they provide for the Welcome Gift, no advice of “how or where” to get more pods. This is very disappointing, advertisement with photo of a proper coffee maker for the duration of paid stay yet guest can’t use the coffee maker the entire stay. Also saying that there is “Instant” coffee provided is not acceptable. Restaurant downstairs has real coffee, felt like being at a hotel.

We loved staying at Marlene's place! The location can't be beat. The views were amazing and we enjoyed the easy access to the beach and the walking trails along the cliffs. We found the walk to town totally doable (10-15mins) with also a few restaurants even closer (Mar, Luca's rooftop, etc.). The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked. We would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay at Ana’s place. The location is perfect! Beautiful beaches, excellent restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores are all just minutes away by foot. It’s also centrally located within the Algarve region, so if you have a rental car, you can plan on all kinds of amazing things to do and places to see. Her place also has some extras that made our stay perfect…a water cooler for refilling water bottles, a washing machine and a separate dryer, a soft-sided cooler with ice packs, beach towels, and a view of the ocean! Ana is an excellent host! She answered any and all questions quickly. We can’t wait to go back in the future!

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!

We had an excellent 2 weeks in this villa. It was in a fantastic location, great layout, very comfortable and peaceful, excellent barbecue and swimming pool area and fantastic views. The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Would happily stay here again.

Monte Meco was a lovely property - a sunny little haven just a stones throw away from Silves and easy to get to the coast. Very welcoming and we would not hesitate to recommend to friends and relatives.

Incredible stay in this beautiful villa hosted by Wilson. We had such an amazing time! The view is simply magnificent, there is plenty of room and seating areas to enjoy it every minute of the day. We had the pool heated and it was totally worth it. Note if you are travelling with kids, there is a small separated part of the pool that is PERFECT for toddlers. Wilson was such a great host, starting from the Booking. He gave us plenty of suggestions and tips to make the most out of our stay and he welcomed us with a welcome basket which was much appreciated as we just arrived from our night flight. Everything was super clean and there was even everything you need to enjoy the pool and the beach with kids. Don’t look further, if you have a car, this villa is the best base to explore the Algarve. We would happily come back!

Absolutely idyllic! Our stay at this Airbnb was perfect, especially with our 1-year-old. The host thoughtfully provided so many essentials, including a high chair, cot, and even a baby bath, which made our trip incredibly easy and comfortable. The place itself is just beautiful. We loved the peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The grassy area was fantastic, and the pool was surprisingly bigger than we anticipated, offering plenty of space to relax. With loungers available both upstairs and down, there were always comfortable spots to unwind. Having a car was definitely a bonus for exploring, as everything we needed was literally just 5 to 10 minutes away. While you could walk to some places, a car made getting around super convenient. It was also very easy to get to from Faro Airport. We couldn't have asked for a better, more relaxing, and truly idyllic getaway!

We had a wonderful holiday, a much needed peaceful and enjoyable time. The house was well situated, not overlooked at all. This meant that we could enjoy the pool whenever we wanted. My (older) kids absolutely loved it and have insisted ‘our next holiday cannot be in a hotel’. We hired a car so we did lots of exploring. The Intermarché supermarket was fantastic but there is also a well stocked Spar shop a walk away. The house was very clean and tidy, the kitchen had plenty of equipment, including a dishwasher and a large fridge. It isn’t shiny and overly modern but that simply added to the charm. I highly recommend it.

We stayed here as a family with my mother and father in law also. So much of space for the 6 of us. The games room was a great place to spend the evenings playing pool and darts. The swimming pool and outdoor space was fabulous. The kids were rarely out of the pool and loved the paddle board that was available for them to uses. Kids also loved picking grapefruits for breakfast and lemons for our drinks. Slightly issue with one of the toilets being out of order and the water going off (due to nearby construction) but host had forewarned us this may occur. We had a lovely family holiday.

I wish every Airbnb host could be as great as Joana! The best stay I have ever had by far!! The home is so cozy and in a great location. All the snacks and stocked fridge was very much appreciated and convenient so we did not have to leave every time we were hungry. 1000% recommend staying here, worth every penny!!!!!!

This place was amazing! Beautiful pool, walk to the ocean and amazing beaches. lots of room inside and out. some negatives are the beds are very FIRM! No dishwasher pucks were left, 3 tiny bars of soap, 3 tiny containers for dish washing. Also no extra toilet paper. It really goes a long way to supply the little things, ei hand soap, dish soap, and pucks for dishwasher,extra toilet paper! Maybe paper towels. More than 1 tea towel would have been good also.
