Cottage vacation rentals in Portugal

We had a very nice week in this very nice house! Very quietly located between the orange trees, very clean, very well equipped, simply beautiful. The hot tub right next door is a very nice extra, especially on somewhat cooler autumn days. Communication with Ana absolutely smooth, straightforward and spontaneous, thank you so much!

Amazing home for a romantic weekend. Amazing bedroom, jacuzzi and reception 👌

This is a lovely cottage with a private walled garden. There's a good variety plants - fresh mint, banana trees, various flowers, a lovely place to relax after a busy day exploring. There is a gas barbeque and a large garden table for dinner. The hot tub is a real bonus! The cottage is tastefully decorated with comfortable beds. We appreciated the fruit basket, bread and jam. We recommend booking the hot springs in Evora and having a massage. Google inacquaveritas We highly recommend Carlos place - one not to be missed!

We had an exceptional stay! The hosts are a rare kindness, very caring and attentive: we feel that they put all their heart into welcoming their guests. The amenities are simply amazing: swimming pool, jacuzzi, tennis court, weight room… everything is perfectly maintained and thought out for comfort. This is undoubtedly one of the best Airbnb we've made. Thanks again, we'll be happy to come back!

Tiago did more than expected. From welcoming cake, unexpected wine tour and requests answered immediately. When we panicked about the fires, he calmed us. This Airbnb is a haven of tranquility. Fresh fruit from trees!!! Vale da Cambra unspeakable beauty and hospitality. Not a lot of English speaking, but at the end we got what we wanted.

A very cozy house, great for our family weekend. We had cold days with some snow, so it was great to be in the Jacuzzi. The view of the mountains was the highlight.

Tania was extremely responsive and provided us with amazing recommendations throughout the island. It was fully equipped with everything needed for a weeks stay - amazing coffee machine, outdoor seating, washer and dryer, and a comfortable pull out couch which we enjoyed lounging on during the rainy days and watching movies. I would highly recommend this for your stay

It was a perfect stay. Wonderful view, peacefully place. I would choose it again!

Everything was impeccable and clean on arrival. Good for young children. The pool is completely fenced. The owners are very friendly. The garden products are very good. Pleasant countryside atmosphere but close to the beach. Very quiet. The whole family liked it very much.

Such a peacefull place, nice, quiet, nearby the beach. And Carlos is so supportive and very friendly. We can recommend without any limitation.

We stayed for two nights but wished we could have stayed longer. The cottage was warm and comfortable and was perfect for a romantic, peaceful break. Communication with Sergio was excellent - above and beyond what we expected! We will definitely return, for longer next time!

This is a beautiful mountain house that is spotlessly clean, comfortable, & cozy. Luis is fantastic - from his communication, personal warmth, his hospitality, willingness to help in any way - you'll feel like you are staying with a very courteous & polite friend. There was a lovely homemade (delicious) pastry waiting for me, as well as a bottle of liquor made from peaches from Luis' orchard (ask Luis to give you a tour of his orchard - very impressive with a wide variety of bananas, apples, figs, oranges, lemons, strawberries, table grapes, etc). The fridge was stocked with essentials one might need for the first day including cereals, milks, et al. There are a lot of natural attractions close by, and great hiking trails.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Woodlovers property. It was clean, beautiful, private, quiet, and an oasis from home while on vacation for 10 days in Madeira. Our hosts were so communicative. We felt well guided before, during and after. Thank you for all the recos. Wouldn’t reco a better stay while visiting this beautiful island.

The place was just mega. The landlord always had an open ear for questions and also gave many tips.

Beautiful place. I slept better than I had the entire trip, and Isabelle is a fantastic host. We will be back.

A little slice of heaven! We had a great few days at Amelia and Joa’s place. The property is so peaceful and the suite is cozy and charming. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Hosts were incredibly gracious and helpful. Made our stay feel very welcoming. Absolutely spectacular location within a nice hike to Guincho beach. Small market around the corner for essentials. Couldn’t be happier with our stay. If we go back to Cascais, will absolutely look to stay here again.

Our house was Alambique, it matched the description perfectly, all the amenities in it; the bed was very comfortable; fireplace, toilet and a full bathroom, two TVs… the location was very nice and quiet. Definitely super recommended.

A beautiful place to stay on Pico and good location, it was really nice to be able to walk to the little bakery and a grocery store. If you are whale watching out of Lajes do Pico, the location is perfect. A great view of Mt Pico from the upstairs bedroom. Tania was really kind and responsive. The garden is very peaceful and cats are really sweet! The pathway to get to the cottages is a little narrow and bumpy, so if you are able to bring a duffle rather than a roller bag, you will probably have an easier time. I made it work with the roller bag, but it’s a bit tricky. Overall a very nice place to stay on Pico!

My husband and I had a very enjoyable stay in Robs cottage. Rob was outstanding—his communication was prompt, clear, and genuinely thoughtful. He went above and beyond with local recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing, which really enhanced our trip. The home is older, as noted in the listing, so we knew what to expect. It has a lot of character and felt welcoming, especially since pets are allowed—a huge plus for us. There is small café just steps away, to enjoy an evening beverage with the locals. All in all, a comfortable stay with a fantastic host and great authentic Portuguese charm.

We (4 persons) really enjoyed our stay at Hibicus Cottage. We were warmly welcomed by Kirsten & Nick, who kindly accommodated our different arrival / departure times with effortless check in & out. Incredibly peaceful and private setting with a stunning and clean pool. Beautifully furnished cottage. Clean, bright, spacious and equipped with everything we needed for the weekend break. Description and photos are exact. Communication was perfect. We would highly recommend and return if/ when back Almancil! Many thanks both & Vivian.

If you're considering this villa for your Algarve getaway, don't think twice – book it now! This stunning property exceeded all our expectations and provided the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable Portuguese holiday. The outdoor spaces at the villa offer the ideal setting for relaxation and soaking up the glorious Portuguese sun and we found ourselves spending most of our time here. The location is perfect. Nestled away from the hustle and bustle, the villa offers a tranquil retreat. Yet, it's only a short drive from some of the Algarve's most beautiful beaches and charming towns. Our hosts, Matthias and Sabina, were lovely, they were incredibly communicative and helpful throughout.

We really loved our stay here. The frog pond and the gardens were beautiful, and even though it was cold and rainy we used the outdoor shower in the mornings. It was also a great location to check out the rest of the island. We’d highly recommend the waterfall hikes around the island. Also, bring some gear for the rain in case there’s a downpour! Thank you for the lovely stay!

Very nice and very welcoming hosts. The place is very quiet and ideal for discovering the region and its treasures.
