Villa holiday rentals in Vila Real de Santo António

We four friends had a very nice time in this fantastic house and found exactly what we were looking for: sunrise, sunset, a view of the vastness of the mountains, absolute peace... The pool was my joy despite my injured leg! The house is furnished with great attention to detail, which also contributed to our relaxation! Thank you also for the friendly and helpful contact! After our vacation in Madeira was canceled due to a forest fire, we never thought we would find such beautiful accommodation at the last minute. We would love to come back!

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 had a great stay at Casa Quadra Dique. The home is finished to a really high standard, in a very peaceful setting which was perfect for unwinding. The swimming pool was a real highlight as well as the picturesque sunrises. The hosts were very attentive and responsive, and gave us a list of recommendations for nearby restaurants etc. Would absolutely stay again and highly recommend!

The accommodation was perfect, it was clean, spacious and well equipped. The outside area was the highlight with seating, sun beds, pool and bbq area. Bruno was very helpful and answered questions quickly. The location was a short uber/taxi from the main area (€5) which was no problem for us. A fantastic stay and would definitely recommend.

A beautiful villa with a huge pool surrounded by beautiful countryside. The kids loved exploring & the hosts were very responsive with a few issues which arose. We would love to return!

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!

Great house located within walking distance to the beach and local restaurants. Air conditioning in every room, fully equipped kitchen and 3 toilets each with a shower/bath. Owner answers questions very quickly and was very welcoming. Very quiet area with plenty of parking right next to the house. Recommend for anyone visiting Altura, will definitely rent again in the future.

We recently stayed at Marie & Daniel’s for my best friends hen do, and had the absolute best time. The villa was the perfect for us. We particularly loved the pool area and how comfortable the beds were. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathrooms were all lovely too. If you plan to stay here, I would recommend hiring a car, the location is not walkable to anywhere, and although you can get Ubers easily from here, you are required to get rid of your rubbish at the end of the stay in a bin on the main road which is not doable without a car. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

HPaco and Steven were truly exceptional hosts! We arrived during a surprise blackout, but Paco responded right away and went out of his way to help us settle in—something we deeply appreciated. Their home is beautiful, with a lovely pool and inviting outdoor space. While it was a bit too chilly for a swim during our visit, we could easily imagine enjoying it in warmer weather. The location is ideal—just 30 minutes from Faro and an hour from Lagos—perfect for day trips and exploring the region. We’d absolutely love to return and highly recommend this fantastic place to anyone visiting the area!

We had a fantastic stay! The location was absolutely perfect, just a short and easy walk to the marina, which made everything super convenient. It's ideal for families, with spacious bedrooms all on one floor, making it really practical and comfortable. The outdoor space was a real highlight. There were lots of different pockets to relax in, with plenty of shade throughout the day. Communication with the host was excellent. They were responsive, helpful, and very accommodating when we needed a bit of flexibility with our check-out time. We would absolutely recommend this place and would 100% stay again!

One of the most beautiful Airbnbs we have ever stayed in! I couldn't recommend it enough and hope to return. The space is even better than the photos, with each apartment having their own kitchenette & bathroom. The backyard was incredible and made for an amazing space to spend time with family. The property manager, Ines, was extremely welcoming and responsive. If you're considering renting Casa Bela Vida - it's a must!

Gorgeous villa, Everything was well thought out and there was everything you could have possibly needed . Stunning entrance and views huge pool, loads of seating areas. This place is not to be missed . 5 mins taxi to new or old town or marina, 30 mins to vilamoura. A very special place indeed

Beautiful, immaculate property. Even better than the pictures. Everything about the place was perfect. Couldn’t have found a better place to come back to after long days of exploring the Algarve.

Great value spot in the algarve. Awesome Location and brilliant property. Would recommend to anyone, particularly large groups

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautifully appointed & very comfortable, spacious villa. Located in a very quiet area with wonderful views, it was a perfect choice. Rui was helpful, responsive and a delight to work with Thank you for a lovely stay

Had a wonderful stay with family and friends. Perfect to share with friends and their children. Such a beautiful villa and the grounds were perfect! The views were incredible and a lovely, responsive host! If only the weather could have been better for us! Would definitely visit again!

For us, the nearby park was perfect for walking the dog. We liked the location very much, it is nice and quiet. Also within walking distance to Olhão center. Communication with the host works perfectly. The apartment has everything you need. We had a very good time here!

We had a perfect stay at Villa Eltael! The house was exactly as described—spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The beds were great, and the whole place felt calm and cozy, ideal for a relaxing family holiday. The heated pool was a fantastic addition and made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is great—quiet and peaceful, but close to everything you need (supermarket, restaurants, etc) and still within walking distance to the beach. We were also pleasantly surprised by how well-equipped the house was. All the essentials were provided—from coffee, laundry and dishwashing detergents, to even charcoal for the barbecue. It made everything so easy and convenient. João and Sívila were outstanding hosts! Their warm welcome, excellent communication, and flexibility with check-in made us feel completely at home. Their hospitality truly made our stay unforgettable. We wish we could have stayed longer and will certainly come back soon. Totally recommend this place!

We’ve just returned from a fantastic week at this villa. It’s incredibly private, set off a quiet dirt track with beautiful surroundings, perfect for a peaceful and relaxing stay. Maria was a wonderful host, super responsive and helpful from start to finish. She even checked in before our arrival to see if we needed anything and kindly arranged for a cleaner mid-stay, which was a really nice touch. The location is great, just 20 minutes from both Vilamoura and Albufeira, and there’s also a lovely local beach with a few nice restaurants nearby. We’d definitely stay again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to all.

Villa Verde looks exactly like the listing. It’s so peaceful there - we hardly left the place! The pool is bigger and deeper than it looks in the pics! Outdoor kitchen and shower are a great bonus. Perfect facilities for a family holiday, including really useful baby/toddler stuff.

The moment we arrived we were given a warm welcome from Carla’s mother Fernanda. Fernanda was extremely friendly and gave us a thorough tour of the property. The villa was stunning and the location was beautiful and peaceful with vibrant flowers with many birds swooping around. This is was our first holiday with our 14 month old baby girl and the villa was perfect for us with everything we needed and more. A wonderful cot was supplied and the rooms were very comfortable. The area was quiet with local shops, coffee shop and small restaurants within walking distance.Everything else we needed was just a 15 minute drive away including the town of Tavira. The nearest beach was just a 10 minute drive to a charming train (perfect for the kids) which takes you across the river which separates the beach. Would highly recommend this place for any family’s looking to explore the algarve and we could not be happier guests. Both Carla and Fernanda should be proud hosts.

We absolutely loved Sergio’s villa, it had everything we needed, with magnificent views across the valley. It was sooo peasant and pleasant. The kids loved the heated pool and the garden. We will be back!!!!

Sergio and Maria were great hosts and very responsive with any questions, issues, queries faced. Had a couple issues with 2 of the AC units but they had the matter sorted in a timely manner. Very nice house, very modern, and had a nice home feel to it. Facilities were brilliant, and the pool and outdoor area were very nice. Only thing I would note is that the house is quite far from any amenities, shops, restaurants, etc., so would recommend renting a car as it can be annoying having to taxi everywhere.

This was a truly fantastic villa, just what we (as a couple) were looking for (difficult to find good size villas for two persons); but could comfortably accommodate at least 4. Everything was as described; and Catia responded promptly to questions, etc. The villa is in a great location, less than 5 minutes walk from many restaurants (Sao Domingos is especially good) and other local amenities - Aldi is less than 5 minutes walk; a small Apolonia (think Waitrose Express) about 15-20 minutes walk (less than 5 by car); and a large Continente (Tesco/Sainsbury's) about 10 - 15 minutes drive (in the Algarve Shopping Mall). Praia da Gale is also 15-20 minutes walk (5 by car), with Restaurant Praia da Gale also recommended. It is beautiful inside, with plenty of kitchen equipment; and beautifully furnished and finished. Very easy to find as on the main road through the town. All in all, a fabulous place; and we will certainly look to book again when looking to stay in Gale.
