Villa vacation rentals in Aldeia das Açoteias

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!

Great villa very close to shops and beach. Host had very good communication. Jets in hot tub didn’t work during our stay and when the gardeners come they were very loud but overall a great stay and would go again! Building a villa next door but was not in anyway noisy and host told us before we confirmed the booking.

What an amazing place! Looks exactly like the photos - we all absolutely loved it. We’ll be back! It’s a 30 min walk into town or a 4euro taxi.

Madalena was a fabulous host, really friendly and always a quick response to my messages.. a stunning location, the photos really don't do it justice. We stayed for 4 nights, enjoying walking to nearby Loule. A supermarket just 5 mins walk away and a cafe. Would not hesitate to go back, thank you so much Madalena

Exceptional setting, quality home with hosts with onions (French expression😂! ) We are fortunate not to have shared the facilities because we were almost alone on the premises: Hammam, Jacuzzi, Massage , pool , Sauna 😍 The Villa is isolated from the rest of the city but ⚠️ be careful there are 2 or 3 additional lodges. In any case Mitchel and Selina are really great, respond quickly to the group's questions, adapt very quickly too and are smiling and full of nice little touches: breakfast several times, welcome beers etc ... Thanks again And I can't wait to come back in a few years to see the improvements that have been made to this little corner of heaven 🥰

We had a great time. The villa was brilliant and plenty big enough to accommodate over 10 people. The communication was exceptional from start to finish and the host kindly arranged some welcome items and airport transfer which made the travel experience easier. Great location with shops close by. I would highly recommend

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!!!!

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.

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!

The villa is very well equipped, literally had everything we needed/wanted. Housekeeping also visited multiple times and were very accommodating. Quiet neighbourhood, you can walk to the beach but a car is probably needed otherwise. Great communication. Would highly recommend, thank you Rene and team!

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!

Amazing villa and perfect location to base yourself, easy walking distance to restaurants and shops

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

Casa Mu is a beautiful home with zen like qualities and an expansive view. We were staying at the house during the black out. Matthijs reached out to us while the cell towers were still live and came by to open the gates manually so we could get back to the house. Yannick stopped by later in the day to give us updates. The home has a Big Green egg and we had bought charcoal the day we arrived so we were able to cook dinner. Thankfully power was down for only a short time. Casa Mu has one of the best equipped kitchens I’ve ever seen in a rental. We bought oranges and limes from a roadside stand and made fresh juice using the electric juicer. Beds are super comfortable and bathrooms well equipped. I would suggest bringing bar soap for the shower. There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room to hang out both inside and outside the house. The pool is not heated, but I did go in. A bit bracing, but not too cold. For food shopping, go to Apolonia in Lagoa. Great store that has all you need

amazing villa. had such a great 5 days here. villa is stunning and hosts were excellent. swimming pool was a lovely temperature and villa was exactly as described. we would love to stay there again! only slight negative was it was very hot and although there was no air conditioning.(which we were aware of) the fans in the bedrooms could be a bit better!

Great time at a beautiful villa, perfect for a large group. Ubers and taxi only 15/20 mins to busy location. Would definitely recommend.

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.

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!

A great place to stay! The property itself was so charming and homely. Rui has furnished it really well and thought about everything one could need. It really gives you the feel of staying in the Algarve. The location is also great, especially if you have a car. It’s close to one of the best beaches and really close to great restaurants. I 100% recommend Rui’s place !

Our first time traveling with our new baby so we had a lot of questions, Nuno was super responsive and helpful. Place was great, would definitely return and recommend

We had a lovely 4 day holiday at Carla’s place. Carla was lovely and would answer all questions we had, was very friendly, managed to check in early as our flight was an earlier landing time. Had great amenities and close to the nightlife. The only thing was the beds were abit uncomfortable. But nothing else bad to say, we all loved it and would go back! Thanks for a great trip

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.

The villa was fantastic, even better than the pictures. All the rooms were fresh and clean and the outdoor areas and pool are fantastic. Everything from the arrival, friendly welcome and response to queries was all of the highest standard. The villa is in a quiet area and backs onto the golf course, its private and a joy to stay there and there is very well equipped with everything you could need. I was there with my two daughters and they loved it, I didn't hire a car and used UBER to get around the area which is very easy and cheap to use. The marina is only 5 minutes away where there are lots to see and do with an abundance of restaurants to chose from. A fantastic villa that wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
