House vacation rentals in São Brás de Alportel

Isabel is an extremely warm and welcoming host—she gave great recommendations and was so friendly!! The location is great and the backyard pool is amazing!!!

Lovely and peaceful stay and a perfect location to explore the amazing area in and around Tavira, a truly underrated part of the Algarve. The house is perfect for a small family. Very chilled, off the beaten path. Great stay and super easy!

Had the most amazing holiday with friends. Villa was beautiful, if possible better than the photos! You do need a car to get around though or need to be happy to pay for taxis to get around which is also easy to do ☺️

We stayed here for a week and it was perfect! The beaches are only a 15-20 minute walk away or a 10 minute bike ride! Definitely recommend that. The house is great and the garden is beautiful! The plunge pool was perfect for the hot days! I would 100% recommend this place :)

We had an amazing stay at Villa Lana, Nuno was a brilliant host, messaging us with recommendations, assistance and making sure we were okay. A lot of Nuno’s recommendations ended up being the highlights of the trip. The villa itself was very clean, matched the description and images perfectly, and was ideal for a group of six, with the ability to easily sleep a further two if you wanted. I can’t recommend this villa enough and I’m so thankful for Nuno being a great host!

We had a wonderful stay at Paulo and Paula’s place in June. It’s a beautiful property, stunning views, the space was spotless and had everything we needed. Paulo was very responsive and pleasant to communicate with, offered plenty of good recommendations, and was very accommodating. Checkin/out couldn’t have been easier. The swimming pool was fantastic - clean and refreshing. We enjoyed swimming as well as some picnics poolside and tanning on the loungers. Beautiful space that we could have to ourselves. We travelled as a family (couple and a baby) and the hosts provided a crib, crib sheets and a highchair. A lovely place and a lovely couple! Don’t hesitate to book :)

We stayed in Quinta Maragota for the second time. That says it all. We enjoyed it very, very much again. The great, authentic and tasteful decor of the apartment is just great. Despite the heat in Portugal, it was pleasantly cool in the apartment even without turning on the existing air conditioning. The indoor climate is very pleasant. The furnishings leave nothing to be desired, from the WiFi to the regional doors and windows. Rieneke and Remco are very attentive, great hosts. From the regional, homemade welcome goodies in the fridge, to the good tips for the area, to the nice conversations. Simply wonderful. The garden is unbeatable. A small paradise, with spacious private garden areas per apartment and many cozy corners, with seating, great lighting, a small pool close to nature and a fantastic plant world. In short: a little paradise. We will definitely be back!

We stayed at Isabel’s villa for 9 nights, we were 4 adults and 4 kids. The villa is fantastic - much better than the pictures, well equipped with everything you need and very spacious (big rooms, lots of outdoor space, bbq and a big pool). We paid to have the pool heated which was beneficial as some days it was a bit chilly. The villa is fairly remote, we had cars but also used Ubers to get around. It’s about a 3-4 min drive to the nearest supermarket and a 5 min drive to the main town and beach. Isabel recommended some day trips and local restaurants, all of which were great. She was also flexible with check in and check out times which was super handy with the kids, and was very responsive throughout the trip when we had questions. We’d 100% recommend this villa for a family holiday and hope to return!

We enjoyed a very relaxing and easy 7 days at Marie's house. The place is stunning, even more so than the pictures, and the effort that has gone into maintaining it is evident. Marie was always responsive when we had any questions either about the house or the local area, and waited to meet us after our late night flight, so we wouldn't miss the turning for the house. Getting into Tavira is super easy, the only consideration is that the driveway of the house is long and very bumpy. You don't need a 4x4 or anything, but it was a bit of a surprise the first time we got there! Would very much recommend this place and the local area. Merci, Marie!

Absolutely loved our stay at the villa. The house is amazing and the gardens are out of this world! Brilliant location for families as it’s really quiet but within walking distance to the town. The house is so clean - everything was spotless.

Henrique's house is amazing. A sparkling clean, cozy and very spacious accommodation away from the hustle and bustle on the coast. Fully equipped with everything you need. A wonderful place for relaxation and at the same time a good starting point for trips to Faro, Tavira, Loulé. Henrique is very helpful, friendly and always approachable. Very pleasant and uncomplicated communication, also with his father, who also speaks French. We felt very comfortable there and would be happy to come back. Highly recommended!

We had a great week at Philippe’s place. The apartment had everything we needed and was in a great spot to explore Olhão. The roof terrace gets the sun from Midday and was a lovely place to enjoy a meal and a drink in the evening. Philippe was nothing but helpful and we’d stay again if ever back in town!

We absolutely loved this apartment! Charming, stylish, clean, well equipped and perfect hosting. The outdoor spaces are amazing. We particularly enjoyed the ground level courtyard which is really a second living room. The location is amazing, 5-7 minutes from everything. We went to the islands several times which were such a surprise, so easy to get to, quaint and uncrowded with white sand beaches and clear water. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic stay at Amanda’s Villa. Had everything you needed for the stay - amazing amenities (especially in the kitchen). Was really accommodating for a larger group and we all had a great time. Would definitely recommend!!

My friend and I had an amazing few days at Francisco’s. We were in need of some rest and relaxation, which was exactly what we got. The space is beautiful and has everything you could need for a chilled break. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Lovely and tranquil place to stay that did a great job of capturing the natural beauty while still providing all the amenities I'd expect at a regular hotel or 'full house' airbnb stay. I was mostly just using the room as a home base as I explored The Algarve but it was the perfect restful place to return to after a long day of activities. I'll also note as a solo traveller who doesn't drive, Vila Lobo's location was accessible by cabs and rideshares like Uber, which wasn't the case for some of the more rural casas friends were staying at in the region. Overall a great choice if you want somewhere a bit more quiet and remote but still connected for your stay.

We have stayed in Vilamoura/Quarteria for over 10 years, this time we returned with our 10 month old son so we wanted to stay somewhere that suited our needs a bit better than a typical hotel/apartment and this hidden gem did not disappoint. The villa was perfect (maybe a little bigger than expected from photos) & I couldn't recommend it enough. Perfect location to Vilamoura marina with just a short walk, cant believe we haven't come across it sooner. We will defo be back! Loved it.

We loved our stay at the Villa. It is in an absolutely beautiful area, with beautiful views of the sea from the pool. The bedrooms are excellent, with loads of space in the kitchen and living area. Our favourite things were the SONOS sound system and the Barbecue, both made our trip superb. The padel court is a bit of walk but well worth playing- and of course, it’s very easy to get taxis. And then both of the hosts, Anders and Diego were extremely helpful. Both extremely responsive at all times and made our stay even better. We will definitely try to come back next year, everyone in my group had the best time!

This is one of our favorite Airbnbs ever. Not only has Christian thought of everything to make for a comfortable stay, the original charm of the building is amazing, and the location was perfect for exploring both Olhao and other parts of the Algarve. We loved the atmosphere of this smaller fishing village and felt right at home living in the old town area. Highly recommend!

Very nice week's stay, the neighborhood is very quiet, the house stays cool despite the temperatures which is very nice. Well-equipped, you have plenty to cook, the pool is a real plus! Clean house! Maria is very responsive as needed. We'll be happy to go back!

Thankyou Nina for allowing us to share your beautiful home which was so well equipped,beautifully furnished and very comfortable. The views from the terrace where we sat in the morning with our breakfast were stunning and in the evening we sat in the garden watching the sunset . Very easy to get to supermarket and a few restaurants. Absolutely loved this place.

Wonderful apartment, with a beautiful private patio and shared pool. Easy to get to everywhere in the algarve with a car, and a few lovely restaurants and bakery’s within walking distance. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Jan and Marie where fantastic hosts. We were there during the power outage and they were very attentive. Beautiful and restful stay. Highly recommended

We have just returned from a stay at Narciso Townhouse and what can I say? Firstly the photos do not do the place justice, it is incredible. It’s spacious and pristine yet feels immediately like home. It has every amenity you could want. There are aircon units in most rooms. In terms of location the house is 5 minutes drive from the airport and beach, across the road from a supermarket and cafe and 10 minutes from Faro town. Albufiera was around 30 mins away. Any Ubers arrived within a couple of minutes. As a host Diogo was great. Quick responses, communication and genuinely felt like he was a message away with any queries. He left a welcome note at check in with helpful information and recommendations through social media. We had the best time and it’s not a case of if we’re back but when. Thanks again Diogo!
