Villa holiday rentals in Vale de Parra

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!

We hebben een heerlijke tijd gehad in deze woning in onze kerstvakantie. Grote teleurstelling was wel dat het zwembad niet warm was, terwijl juist daarmee geadverteerd werd. Deze was pas aan het einde van onze week vakantie op temperatuur. Uiteraard zijn we hier wel voor gecompenseerd. Verder is het huis prachtig, omgeving heel fijn om te hardlopen en met de auto uitstapjes te doen. We zouden graag weer eens terug komen.

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 🥰

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!

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

Villaen til Marco er virkelig fin, og er nesten finere i virkeligheten enn på bildene. Marco er en vennlig vert som svarer hyggelig og raskt. Villaen har alt du trenger for et hyggelig opphold. Om du vil spise mat i villaen så er alt av utstyr der for å få en fin kveld. Gode uteområder, solsenger og parasoller. Vi kommer gjerne tilbake!

Nous avons passés un excellent séjour ! La villa est vraiment conforme aux descriptions de l'annonce, spacieuse et au calme. Le paysage avec les orangers, les figuiers, les oliviers et les citronniers tout autour de la maison à perte de vue c'est magnifique. Aucun vis a vis, on se sent seul au monde avec comme seul bruit de fond, le chant des oiseaux. La maison à l'intérieur propose tout se dont nous pouvons avoir besoin. Nous n'avons manqué de rien. Silvia est d'une gentillesse vraiment incroyable, elle a le souci du détail et ne souhaite qu'une chose, que votre sejour se passe bien. Je vous envie, vous, qui lisez mon message, futur voyageur, et qui allez très certainement faire l'expérience tout comme nous. Je vous souhaite d'aussi belles vacances que nous avons pu passer dans ce beau pays qui est le Portugal. Merci Silvia de nous avoir fait confiance, merci pour votre bienveillance, votre sourire nous manque déjà 🥰 Les bretons.

This house has a gorgeous view of the sea! Perched high on the cliff and only a few feet from steps that leads directly to a first rate restaurant and direct access to the beach with shops, restaurants and bars. Each of the four bedrooms has a sea view and an ensuite bathroom! The outdoor areas are spacious, with quality furniture and pool loungers...and the pool is sparkling, clean and in great condition!! There is a Nespresso machine but be sure to bring your own pods if you are staying long.There are none at the local grocery store to buy. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with plenty of cups, glasses, plates, bowls, and silverware. We rented the unit in late May during an annual fly hatching season. We had to deal with thousands of flies in the house when we arrived. We were given warning by the owner a few days before arrival. This is not something that can be controlled as it is a seasonable problem, but you should be aware of this if you plan to travel around that time

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.

This is the most beautiful house, in one of the few remaining unspoilt parts of the Algarve coast. It is very well-equipped and there are lovely walks, both in the countryside behind and along the cliffs. A very pretty, and not very populated, beach is a five-minute walk and a slight scramble down a cliff path away. Cecilia is incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

Blue Hill Boutique and Antonio have been fantastic. The villa is first class and the photos are an exact likeness. It truly made for a luxury stay and we will absolutely book again. We are a family of 2 children, 2 adults and the villa is both private, peaceful and very secure. The layout of the villa is perfect with every bedroom opening up to the pool. Olhão harbour was a favourite for gelato when we could convince the children to have a break from the pool. Antonio’s hospitality is first class and nothing was too much trouble and appreciated, especially the welcome bottle of rose

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%

Samen met twee gezinnen verbleven wij in het mooie huis van Ilka. Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien en heel erg comfortabel. De tuin is prachtig en erg goed onderhouden. Ook voor de kinderen was de tuin perfect en zij hebben heerlijk kunnen spelen. Het zwembad, met verwarming, was heerlijk. Voor ze kinderen was het erg fijn dat zij zelf gemakkelijk in en uit het zwembad konden door de trap en ook konden staan aan het begin van het zwembad. Ilka is heel vriendelijk en reageert erg snel op berichten. Ze dacht altijd fijn mee en had veel tips. Het huis ligt afgelegen, met ontzettend veel privacy, maar toch op maar 10 minuten rijden van Lagos. We hebben erg genoten van ons verblijf.! Wanneer wij weer naar dezelfde regio zouden gaan zou ik dit huis zonder twijfel opnieuw boeken!

We stayed at this property for three nights with my children and parents, and it was perfection. Everything was brand new and top quality. You could tell there was a lot of attention to detail when designing / refurbishing the space. Stefanie was super-responsive and it was a breeze getting in and checking-out. We hope to stay there again when it warms up so we can use the breathtaking pool area. 10/10.

Wir waren eine große Gruppe, mit 8 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern (1 und 3 J.). Wir hatten tolle zwei Wochen in der Villa. Das Anwesen verfügt wirklich über alles, was man benötigt, um einen tollen Sommer-Sonne-Spass-Urlaub zu verbringen. Die schönsten Strände der sind innerhalb von 10 Minuten mit dem Auto zu erreichen z.B.: Praia Marinha. Die Küche ist mit Allem ausgestattet, was das Herz begehrt, inkl. Entsafter, Kaffemaschine etc... Für uns war das Pizza-backen im Pizza-Steinofen ein Highlight. Zu Beginn gab es ein paar kleine Probleme mit dem Pool, die aber sofort nach unserer Meldung behoben wurden. Die Hausverwalter stehen in ständigem Kontakt, sodass man eigentlich ständig fragen loswerden kann. Wen es einen nicht zwingend ins Umland treibt, der muss die Villa eigentlich nur zum Einkaufen verlassen :)

Our stay at Vila G, Mira Luz was all that we had hoped it would be. The stunning views were not hard to take every morning over coffee. The accommodations were very comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. Walking distance to the beach and the little shops/restaurants. The area was quiet and well maintained with a gated community to feel safe and secure. We even survived the blackout ! Thank you for hospitality would definitely recommend.

Wir hatten schöne zwei Wochen in dem Ferienhaus. Es ist wie auf den Fotos bzw. in der Beschreibung. 5 min. außerhalb von Armação in einer ruhigen Wohngegend. Der Pool war super schön und sauber. Das Haus wurde sogar nach einer Woche gereinigt und Bettwäsche/Handtücher getauscht. Am ersten Tag ging die Kaffeemaschine nicht, diese wurde am nächsten Tag gleich ausgetauscht. Wirklich super Sevice! Außerdem ist eine Waschmaschine vorhanden, dies stand nicht in der Beschreibung. Ein Minuspunkt gibt es für das Internet. Dieses ging die letzten zwei Tage nicht mehr und wurde auf unsere Nachfrage hin auch nicht mehr aktiviert. Warum, wissen wir leider nicht…

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille. La maison est très bien équipée surtout pour les enfants et bébés ! La piscine chauffée était un vrai atout. Les hôtes sont très réactifs et plein de bons conseils. Nous recommandons vivement la villa Luz

Wonderful house, with lots of space for outdoors activities, close to Loule where there are there is lots of wonderful restaurants and culture. We really enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend!

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.

Loved the Villa, it’s quite and as described. Loved the private pool and bbq area and Nuro was always quick to respond to any questions. We landed in the evening and booking transfer through Nuro worked out cheaper and driver made sure we got in ok before leaving us. We would definitely book again.

The house is beautiful! And it had everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed the swimming pool, tennis table and pool table. It is also near wonderful beaches like Praia dos tres Irmãos. We hope to come back one day!
