Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo

Villa Mariana is a gem of a place, with the most fabulous and genuine owners that made our stay so welcome and enjoyable. We chatted to them, and enjoyed the stories of years gone by in the real Portugal. We also found out that Jose, Pedro's father, was a very talented artist with drawings and painting going back decades. The big highlight of our stay was the wonderful swimming pool, which we had exclusive use of. Sun loungers and a Gazebo to sit around the pool and have a cold beer or wine were very welcome too. We found that getting from Faro airport to Villa Mariana, was a small challenge, as Uber didn't recognise the address that we got from Pedro. So we took a Taxi to the Lidl supermarket at Sao Bras, where Pedro then picked us up in his car. This worked very well, but if Pedro is not there you will need to have a clear address, and take a taxi. Also, trying to get an Uber from Villa Mariana is impossible, so stick to genuine Taxis that are very good value. We had a great time !!

La maison pour débrayer, dans la simplicite, ressourçante. Elle est très bien équipée en vaisselle, linge de maison, on a l’împression d’arriver chez des amis qui ont tout laissé à disposition. Le grand plus est cette belle plage à 2 pas . C’est juste passé trop vite

Muy cómodo. Tal y como se describe no tiene cocina pero cuenta con tostador, hervidor y menaje de cocina, además de escurridor. Tenemos dos pequeños y han estado encantados. Tiago muy atento y amable.

Die Villa entspricht genau den Bildern – wunderschön und sehr gepflegt. Besonders begeistert hat uns der traumhafte Ausblick auf die Berge und der herrliche Pool, ideal zum Abkühlen. Der Strand ist zu Fuß in ca. 20 Minuten erreichbar, mit dem Auto geht es in wenigen Minuten. Die Kommunikation war stets schnell und hilfsbereit, der Check-in hat selbst um 2 Uhr morgens reibungslos funktioniert. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Es una casa maravillosa. Esta muy bien localizada. Tiene de todo para disfrutar de ella. Lástima que el trato sea simplemente de negocio. La hora de salida era las 12, pedimos alargar un poco, y para ello tuvimos que pagar una cantidad desproporcionada por 5 horas mas, todo por mensaje. Igual debería regular Airbnb eso. Como íbamos con un bebe, y teníamos el vuelo muy tarde tuvimos que hacerlo. Es la primera vez que nos pasa sin que nadie entrara al día siguiente (lo sabemos porque en cuanto pagamos no hubo problemas). Por supuesto que no es obligatorio, es una cortesía, y otras veces bien no lo hemos necesitado, bien no lo hemos pedido. Cometieron un error grave diciéndonos que teníamos incluido el desayuno, y cuando fuimos, nos dijeron que se habían equivocado. Y que todo el mundo comete errores. En cualquier caso, la casa maravillosa. Perfecta para pasar unos días estupendos.

Dieses bezaubernde Haus befindet sich in einem riesigem (!) privatem Areal, sodass keinerlei Straßenlärm ans Haus dringt. Henrique ist ein sehr entspannter und ungemein sympathischer Gastgeber. Meine Erwartungen durch die genaue Beschreibung wurden tatsächlich vor Ort übertroffen. Es gibt ein sehr großzügiges Außengelände und innen ist einfach alles liebevoll und nicht konventionell eingerichtet. Ich habe den Aufenthalt in vollen Zügen genossen.

We had a great stay, it’s a great place for peaceful relaxation. Plenty of outdoor space and the pool is great to cool off in.

Wir hatten eine schöne und entspannte Zeit bei Marie und Jan. Die Unterkunft ist sehr ruhig gelegen und Marie war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und können die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen!

Leider war ich nur 2 Nächte in dieser schönen Unterkunft. Das Haus bietet auf drei Ebenen zwei schöne Schlafzimmer und drei Terrassen. Da findet jeder sein ruhiges Plätzchen. Es war sehr sauber und ich kann die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen. Man ist in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß im Zentrum und hat in der Nähe alles was man braucht.

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment! The absolutely stunning sea view is breathtaking, and the long sandy beach just across the street made it easy to enjoy the seaside every day. The location is fantastic—full of great restaurants and even places to rent bikes, so you can easily explore the beautiful coastline on two wheels. The apartment itself is clean, fresh, and modern, with all the kitchen appliances you need to cook comfortably. The bed is really comfy, and I loved that there were some books and even table games available for relaxing evenings in. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, I highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable seaside getaway!

Lovely place in the heart of Faro. Good facilities at the price point. Would visit again. Pedro is fast at replying and very helpful.

Super Kommunikation mit Pedro. Immer eine schnelle Antwort bekommen. Sehr leicht zu erreichen und gute Parkmöglichkeiten. Check-In war super einfach. Wir haben 6 Nächte in der Unterkunft verbracht. (Hätten auch gerne mehr verbracht) Es war alles vorhanden was man gebraucht hat. Besonders gut fanden wir die ruhige Umgebung. 3 Swimmingpools und ein kleine Kinder/Babybecken. Sehr schöner Strand. War alles super. Vielen dank an Pedro.

Ολα καλά. Το μόνο αρνητικό ήταν ότι δεν μπορέσαμε να συνδεθούμε ποτέ στο WiFi του σπιτιού. Κατά τα άλλα καθαρό και κοντά στην πόλη με δωρεάν πάρκινγκ στην γύρω περιοχή

Wir haben zum 2. Mal unseren Urlaub in dieser tollen Strandwohnung verlebt und die Gastfreundschaft von Mark genossen. Die Wohnung liegt für unsere Bedürfnisse perfekt: Zum einen liegt dieser wunderbare Praia da Falesia "vor der Tür", zum anderen erreicht man mit dem Auto schnell den Westen und den Osten Portugals, um andere wunderschöne Orte an der Algarve zu entdecken. Bars, Restaurants und Supermärkte liegen in unmittelbarer Nähe und es gibt auch eine hervorragende Cocktailbar mit Tapas, um einen schönen Sommerabend ausklingen zu lassen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

We loved this place! Fernando was very communicative and friendly, and his mother Isabel, was so sweet, very welcoming, and she explained important details of where to find different things. The apartment has a well-stocked kitchen and is both spacious and cozy, so you immediately feel right at home. The location is perfect; it’s on a charming, quiet little street in old town Tavira, and you can easily walk to nice restaurants, key sights, and explore the town from the apartment. Thank you Fernando and Isabel – hope to stay at your place again!!!

Apartment wie beschrieben - sehr sauber und schön eingerichtet. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und jederzeit erreichbar und haben schnell auf Rückfragen reagiert.

We loved staying at Marlene's place! The location can't be beat. The views were amazing and we enjoyed the easy access to the beach and the walking trails along the cliffs. We found the walk to town totally doable (10-15mins) with also a few restaurants even closer (Mar, Luca's rooftop, etc.). The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked. We would definitely stay here again.

I have stayed at many Airbnb apartments over the years and I have never experienced the professionalism, adaptability and helpfulness of our host Hélia. In addition, The apartment was absolutely beautiful with all the amenities and the extra touches of bottle of wine, water and tray of snacks are what makes this such a unique experience. I am not surprised that this apartment is always booked. Thank you

Fabulous Penthouse apartment, so very close to the beach and restaurants. Perfect location. Elisa, our host was super attentive, providing all the information we needed to ensure that our short break was a peaceful and relaxing experience. We had an early flight into Faro so Elisa arranged our transport ( Carlos was brilliant) and let us drop our bags off so we could get some lunch without the bother of dragging cases around. Elisa then messaged us at 1pm saying we could get in early as the penthouse was ready. During our stay Elisa made light touches to check that everything was ok which was most welcomed. A perfect host. Highly recommended.

Carlota’s place is located in amazing Villa with beautiful surroundings! Amazing beaches to get to and her local recommendations were excellent ! The pool was great but unfortunately due to the weather it was a bit too cold to use and shower facilities were under construction. The only downside is the bed option, as described from the picture, the main bedroom is with 2 twin beds and a sofa bed. One big bed would’ve been more comfortable but breathtakingly beautiful view makes everything ok. We had some issue with laundry machine as it wasn’t in a good condition but we cleaned it and bought strong scent laundry detergent made it usable again! Wonderful memories from the beautiful landscape and activities and especial thanks to warm and heart full neighbor downstairs! Thank you again and it was a pleasant stay!

Amazing location and amazing host. The house is beautiful and spacious. Host is amazing and very helpful. When I’m back i would be staying here. Highly recommend this!!

Really enjoyed staying here. it's a beautiful colourful clean perfect place to stay and everywhere in Tavira is just a walk away Hosts are very friendly.

This Air Bnb view was beyond stunning, and the location was great - it was a quick drive to Old Town Albufeira and some beautiful beaches! It had lots of parking around the property which was convenient. Additionally, the host Galyna, was kind and an amazing communicator and always responded fast if we needed support. Would stay here again!

Nous avons eu un excellent séjour. L'appartement est vraiment très agréable car très lumineux et joliment décoré. Les espaces sont d'une belle dimension. Sans compter les 3 terrasses magnifiquement exposées dont nous avons pleinement profité à tout moment de la journée ! Willem est très agréable et très réactif. Nous recommandons vivement ce logement qui est proche du centre tout en étant très au calme.
