Beachfront vacation rentals in Vila Nova de Milfontes

Probably one of the best Airbnb’s we’ve stayed in! It is even more beautiful than it looks like in the photos, with great views on both sides (it’s located on a corner atop of the hill). We stayed for a full month and traveled with our 6 month old baby, and Cruz provided us with both a high chair and a baby cot. There’s walking distance to decent surf. Parking was super easy. Maria downstairs is lovely and super helpful if you need anything. Lamelas next door is a great restaurant. We would definitely stay again! PS Don’t miss out on the market with fresh fish and vegetables! It’s in a very anonymous-looking building. Search for Mercado Municipal Porto Côvo. It looks closed but it is open!

This is our second time staying here. Great location steps from the beach. Dedicated parking spot. Great restaurants. Good AC and wifi if you need to work remotely. We will be back.

Maria and Ana were extremely welcoming and responsive. As someone who visited the area for the first time, it was nice to know they were there if I had questions.

From the moment you arrive, you feel it — that rare, warm sense of home. There's a certain magic in this place that’s hard to put into words. You just know: I want to come back here. Filippa and Luis radiate the kindest, most welcoming energy. You feel it in every detail of the space — thoughtful, cozy, full of heart. It’s more than just a beautiful stay; it’s an experience that leaves you grounded, inspired, and recharged. Truly a magical place. Thank you for creating a home away from home. I can’t wait to return.

Great space, spacious neat and clean. Everything we needed was present and working. Location is fine, quiet and walkable. Good super close. Christina is a great host, very helpful. We had a nice, cozy holiday in Lagos.

Communication with Rodrigo was smooth and responsive. The apartment is furnished with great taste and simplicity. The balcony is a plus that allowed us to have breakfast and enjoy the extraordinary view every morning. The hiking trails and the beach at the foot of the house made us happy!

I had a wonderful stay at Pedro’s place. You can hear the ocean from the balcony and the beach is less than 5 minute walk. I felt very safe there. It is also pristine and well kept and wonderfully designed, the moment I walked in I was excited to stay there. Thanks Pedro, I’ll be back for sure!

This was the best house we have stayed in around the Aljezur/Arrifana area. This was our 3rd visit to the area and we stayed at Marta’s on a friends recommendation. There are even peekaboo views of the ocean. The house is non-corporate in every good way. There is an ancient piano in the living room - and it was correctly tuned! There is local art and the furniture is not just ikea cheap stuff. The kitchen was well stocked and clean. The area is great - kind of in between two different beaches. You can drive 3 minutes to a bunch of restaurants or walk 10 minutes to a few others at the roundabout. We did a run in the morning and there’s even a lake about 5 minutes away. All very peaceful, no traffic. We would happily stay here again.

Angelo was such a lovely and gracious host. He was so accommodating and welcoming. The location can't be beat. Highly recommend!

Francisca's villa has everything you could possibly need. Its in a beautiful and central location. We hired a car so we could visit Lagos, Sagres and Bergau (which were less then 30mins drive) but if you wanted to stay out you would be very happy here, with a beautiful beach on your doorstep and a great selection of restaurants and bars within minutes to be all to. Francisca gave great recommendations as to which to try. She was a responsive and helpful host. We will be back! Thank you souvh Francisca x

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.

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

Very warm welcome and a very nice apartment where we felt at home. We didn't miss anything. The apartment is also very central and yet quiet. Everything is within walking distance. We especially thank Elaine and Stephen for a stocked fridge, all the other amenities as well as for the wonderfully warm communication. We will definitely be back.

Everything was great and as described in the listing! The appartment was clean and had everything we needed. There is a supermarket right downstairs where you can shop everything. The garage for parking was amazing. Edite was very proactive and responsive, we were kindly able to check in early as we had a morning flight. Thanks for the great stay!

I have to say this was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal the villa was absolutely clean beautiful and everything we wanted. The host was extremely kind and proactive and had great communication. I even messaged her asking for recommendations of malls due to a luggage delay and she gave me a bunch of great ones. By far I couldn’t recommend this place enough! If you’re looking for a beautiful villa with a great host you’re at the right place!

We absolutely loved our stay at Robin and Sónia’s apartment. The place was beautiful, with easy access and just a short walk to the beach. The swimming pool was fantastic, and with the sun shining all day direct to the pool, it was perfect for a relaxing sunbathe. We would definitely return!

Sam is a fantastic host and we couldn’t have asked for more. The apartment was spotless and in a beautiful, quiet location only a short walk to the local beach or into the old town where there are some great restaurants. This is the third time we have visited Ferragudo and will definitely be back again next year 😍

My friends and i had a wonderfull time in the beautifull house of Joao! The location was close to town and the beach. The house it self was clean and spacious! I would definitely recommend this place for a stay with a group of people in Vila Nova the Milfontes!

The view!!! It is just perfect, exactly as described, has everything you need to enjoy a nice and peaceful stay! Plenty of restaurants within walking distance (including the neighboring building!), and the beach. Whether you go for the surf or just to enjoy the sand and water, there are very few options that will get you closer to the beach! We would definitely stay there again!

A lovely small house overlooking the estuary across from Porto Covo. It is not intended to be hugely luxurious but had everything we needed for a highly enjoyable stay. Wonderful views, good walking from the door and shops/restaurants 2-3 mins away. I would definitely return if I had an opportunity.

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. 😂

With all the many positive reviews here, I can only agree and emphasize again how great this place is! - The view of the castle and the harbor entrance with the river Arade from the balcony and terrace is simply stunningly beautiful (you can hardly sit more beautiful!). The decor of the villa is authentic and not hypermodern. Overall, we found it very consistent, also with the decoration. The bedroom with terrace and shower room is very spacious and the view is also super nice here. The 2nd bedroom is a bit dark, as the large window in it "only" goes to the small terrace in front of the house and does not really fall in a lot of light here. But since we didn't stay in this room for long except for sleeping, that didn't bother us. The only downside is that there is little space in the cabinets because there are many blankets, etc. The house itself is spacious, the living/dining area large and cozy. A great place for us!!

We had a wonderful stay: fantastic location, great beds, kitchen more than fully equiped, contact with owner and caretaker was perfect. Gorgeous beaches around the corner, great restaurants everywhere and plenty to see and do. Spacious enough for six. English books avalable and pool table for some fun and laughter. Beach towels and beach chairs were very handy. As well as the beach toys. Would definitely recommend; you won’t be disappointed.

The property is only a few steps from the beach, which is very nice. Everything was clean and gave the impression of being newly renovated. It was cozy and nicely decorated. The wood-burning stove heated up very well. However, one should bear in mind that the apartment is extremely damp in winter due to the location, especially if it has not been heated beforehand. We had to buy the firewood ourselves, which we didn't know before. With a lot of wood, we were then able to create a cozy atmosphere. In our opinion, the propane gas heating offered to us as an alternative is not suitable for enclosed spaces and was therefore too dangerous for us. If you consider all these things, you can have a very nice time here.
