Beachfront vacation rentals in Alvor

An absolutely fabulous place to stay! Beautiful location and outstanding views over the ocean. But the most fantastic part about the house other than a beautiful home to stay in, was how generous and kind our hosts were in taking care of us on this trip. Elsa waited up for us to check us even though our plane arrived extremely late and our drive in was long.Very kind and friendly and helpful! Will definitely go back!

Very cozy home, with nice view from the balcony (the flowers were in bloom, that added to the experience). The outside of the building did not correspond with the cozy inside. 5 minute walk from the lovely beach, 10 minute walk to the supermarket.

Our stay was absolutely magical! From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the stunning location and the warm welcome from our host. The property itself exceeded all our expectations. The interior is beautifully designed with a perfect blend of charm and comfort. Everything was spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with quality furnishings throughout. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals, though we also enjoyed exploring the local restaurants our host recommended. What really sets this place apart is the incredible location. Being able to wake up each morning, enjoy coffee with breathtaking views, and feel completely relaxed in this peaceful setting made our vacation truly special.

Impeccable accommodation matching the description in every respect and quiet. The balcony with sea view is a real plus. Access to the beach and restaurants is on foot. No worries about free parking nearby (for the month of April). We would recommend it in a second.

The townhouse was modern, clean, well equipped and in a great location. Beds were very comfortable. Views from the rooftop deck were stunning and beach was an easy walk. If you love to walk and have no mobility issues, this is the perfect place to be in Albufeira! Host was always accessible and responded quickly.

Great location, quaint and clean. Only stayed one night, wish we could have stayed longer. Perfect suite for our stay. Recommend for future travellers.

Everything was great!! Very clean, great views, beautiful, quiet location. We will be happy to come back!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, lovely peaceful neighborhood that was only a few minutes drive from the beach, town centre and Boavista golf club. Two super local restauarants that were popular with locals (and us now as we tried them) were literally around the corner

We sincerely thank you for the wonderful stay! We adults and children all felt more than comfortable and will definitely be back. Communication with the hosts was prompt, friendly, and in a nutshell. The proximity to the beach is unbeatable, but the location is central, but still quiet. The apartment is cozy, practical and well equipped. On request, we were even brought a special request for the amenities. We couldn't have imagined anything better! Sincerely, Steff and family

What a magical few days we had! The apartment is really lovely, as is the roof top view. All the stuff you need is there for small children - toys, books, highchair and blackout shutters were all really useful. Lots of lovely local restaurants and a stunning beach nearby which was quiet with great food options. Pool was a bit nippy as it isn’t heated but warmed up over the week, and was always empty when we went. We’d recommend Club Nau, Brunch in Rio, O Velho Novo and Delizie for yummy food and friendly staff. A really wonderful spot, and lovely place to stay with everything easy to walk to. Faro airport transfers easy with Uber as well.

Loved this place - it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was impeccably clean and nicely decorated and had lots of space. We felt safe staying there and it was in a quiet area. The nearby beach was within walking distance and offered a spectacular view at the restaurants overlooking it. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay at the quieter end of town - but it was a short 5 minute drive to some of the local attractions. The host had GREAT recommendations for local things to see and places to eat and was very friendly and responsive. Thanks Kasia for the great experience on our first trip to Portugal!

Had a great week long break, the Air BnB was perfect and the pool is much bigger in person then in the photos.

Beautiful villa with pool and outside area including bbq. Loads of space for kids to play. Great location some really nice restaurants and bars all within walking distance. Rabbbit Beach is very close to the villa 5-10 mins walk. The old town is 10 mins in taxi and if you use Antonio (who did our transfers) him or his lovely wife Rosa can pick you up when needed. Manfred and Tracy were great hosts very helpful and give very good information regarding the local area for food / drinks etc. Villa is perfect for a group loads of space and eating / chilling areas - couple of shops within walking distance. Overall great stay.

Magnificent Manifesting! We had the most wonderful stay in this beautiful villa. Outside area was absolutely gorgeous and well maintained. Lovely outside cooking and dining area which we used a lot and the sea is much closer than appears in the pictures. Kitchen was well equipped and the local shops are an easy and beautiful walk to pick up any additional extras. Close to lovely restaurants and bars filled with friendly people and staff. Luz is a wonderful location to explore the Algarve however a week is not enough as there is much to see and do 😉. Just a note that the access to the pool area would not be conducive to someone with mobility issues but is beautiful. Something that everyone really appreciated was the very positive water pressure 😂 seems like a small thing however weirdly it matters. I would not hesitate to stay again or recommend this villa to friends and family. Ideally located, with charm and character in a beautiful location, sea breezes and with a fab host 🙏

The accommodation is one in a quiet area, a little set back from the historic center. But a 15-minute walk will allow you to get there. The pool is very nice… and the accommodation is coquettish. Manuel and Gloria are very attentive...all discreetly!

A lovely place to stay. Close enough to walk to everything you need. Great restaurants and local spar or baptiste. Will definitely come back x

The location is a dream for those seeking peace and quiet. Sunrise around 7:30 was a perfect start to the day and then the sun warmed up during breakfast. In the evening, we used the oven every day, so it was cozy and warm (wood available - thanks for that!). For the bathroom in the morning there was a small electric radiator, because the night temperatures fluctuated from 6 degrees to 12 degrees - so it was quite fresh in the morning. We enjoyed the time here very much, also always chatted a little with Andy and Astrid, who take care of the grounds/house very lovingly.

An absolutely brilliant stay at Lisa's apartment which is very large with a beautiful view and everything in the accommodation was top class. It's within easy access to 2 beaches and has fantastic views on a relatively quiet complex. Lisa couldn't do enough from start to finish an excellent host and I would recommend Lisa and her property to anyone.

We had a fabulous stay, apartment is great with all amenities available and amazing location! We will be back

Pedro is an amazing host and is highly recommended as he is very responsive whenever you message him! He helped save our trip by letting us check in after 3am. Local recommendations are provided at the house, it has a very spacious common area, quiet and safe neighbourhood and amazing pool! Only downside is the women of our group think he is too attractive. 😂

It was what we expected, since being in the center of the Algarve, we were able to move in both directions and visit almost everything.

Jorge’s place was really a home away from home especially with our three little girls (5, 4, 1.5 years old). Our girls loved the two bunkbeds. It was spacious, super clean & the kitchen was fully equipped with everything you’d need to cook meals but also walkable to many beaches and restaurants; however one of our favourites was the restaurant just below the building! We loved the beach behind the building as well which was only a few minutes walk. We didn’t end up using the pools in the facility but everything looked great! Jorge himself was very responsive, professional and definitely a superhost helping us check-in as we booked this Airbnb very last minutes and got there later in the evening. The shampoo and conditioner in the showers were nicer than the ones I have at home. I highly recommend this place and we would definitely stay here again when we come back to Portugal in the future. Thank you Jorge for sharing your home with us.

Marina's place in Albufeira was amazing - just as listed! In a quiet, walkable neighborhood directly above the city restaurants. Easy access to everything in town and yet so quiet! This place was perfect for our family of 4 and my two daughters enjoyed having their own bed but staying in the same room together. Marina's communication was great - great instructions in accessing the place, and guidance around the unit. Not being too familiar with induction stovetops, I contacted Marina for some help and she was immediately responsive. The kitchen had everything we needed and the addition of a Washer AND Dryer was much needed for those beach days - of which we had several! Upper floors are nice and had amazing views of the surrounding area, I can understand why Albufeira is so popular. Our family made use of the provided beach toys as well as beach umbrella and beach towels, all very nice. Make sure to try the Tres Coroas restaurant just steps away!

I recently had the pleasure of staying in a lovely apartment in Quarteria, Portugal, for nine days, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The apartment was not only super nice but also offered stunning views that truly enhanced my stay. Everything was exactly as described, and I appreciated how well-maintained and clean the space was. My hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The building itself is charming and adds to the overall delightful atmosphere of the stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Quarteria. I can't wait to return! AK
