Beach house holiday rentals in Alvor

Wonderful place, like feeling at home, the apartments are equipped with everything, even the first basic things for cooking, upon our arrival they made us find cookies, water and cheese and they made us taste the bread they made themselves, they have a vegetable garden where we could pick fresh tomatoes and figs directly from the tree, also available umbrella and small deck chairs for the beach. Carla's tips for visiting beaches and the restaurants she recommended were excellent.

This was a great place to stay in Albufeira. It was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The bed is very comfortable for sleeping. The location is great. It is a close and convenient walk to the Old Town square, shops, restaurants, and a very close walk to the tunnel and beach. It’s located in an area that’s quiet and very quiet at night. The hosts Fátima and Bruno were very friendly and helpful, and quick to respond to any questions. We really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend this accommodation.

The property is amazing, the pictures and description doesn't do the place justice. It was better to what we were expecting. The place was fully equipped with everything you needed. There was a balcony at the bedrooms the kicthen and the living room which was such an amazing feature. The shared pool was clean and deep was so good and quiet such a relaxing area to be in. There was a smart t.v where you can cast your phone apps too and there was netflix already on the t.v felt right at home and the place was so cosy and spacious 10/10 would 100% recommend !

We enjoyed the village of Salema from Helena's place! The house was just as in the photos - homey feeling, steep stairs, three bedrooms, two kitchens, two bathrooms, three levels, clean, itsy bitsy terrace looking out on the beach and our favourite - a toilet and shower outdoors on the top level. Very unique and special. Our favourite part about the house was the proximity to the beach; literally steps away through a short alley. We loved walking back and forth on the promenade, watching families on the beach, hikers cutting through town and retired ex-pats walking their dogs or stopping to chat with one another. There was a small area with a cafe, shops, restaurants and bars that provided for our needs. The supermarket was a five minute drive up the road. Highly recommend Helena's place.

My husband and I had a very comfortable five night stay at Pedro’s place. The unit was cozy, spacious, and well equipped. We were greeted with a bottle of local wine, water, and oranges. We enjoyed having our morning coffee on the terrace with a view of the sea. Though there was also a lovely shared pool, we didn’t make use of it. A highlight for us was the spectacular nearby coastal walking path, and the small local beach. It was handy to have a rented car to explore the area and to buy groceries. We did a day trip to Tavira and drove to nearby Carvoeiro for dinner a couple of times. I would definitely recommend Pedro’s place.

We have just returned after an amazing week. A family holiday with small kids and grandparents. The house is perfect, the location is 20 steps to the most perfect beach, the house is comfortable and we wanted for nothing. Pool was such a treat. Ice cream kiosk right outside back door !! (Kids loved) .. town is lovely for a relaxed family holiday.. memories made for life. Owners so helpful , communication perfect and so helpful highly recommend we will definitely be back . A hidden oasis with amazing views from every window .. only problem is we didn’t want to leave

What a gem! The 2 minute walk to the most beautiful beaches with cliffs was spectacular. Walking and hiking trails galore. We were blown away by the beauty. Paula was responsive and kind. Perfect mid point location in the Algarve. We drove west to Lagos (kayaked the caves there) and Sagres, then drove east to Tavira with stops along the way in Quarteira and Vilamoura. You will not be disappointed. If I could it 10 stars I would.

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

What a beautiful villa! Spacious, elegant and well-equipped, with good access on foot to the town and beaches. (NB people with mobility issues should be aware that it’s on a hill - but the local Ubers are not expensive). Helen and Tom are excellent hosts, very quick to respond to any queries.

Great location away from the busiest parts of Albufeira but also within walking distances to those areas if needed. The house was exactly like the photos and it was perfect for our group. Great amenities too!

A beautiful and modern house. Very comfortable seating inside and outside. Lovely pool. Beds are very comfortable with huge bathrooms. Close to beaches and supermarkets nearby. Would love to come back

We traveled from New York with our two children and had a wonderful stay. Margarida and Jõao were fantastic hosts—warm, welcoming, and responsive throughout our visit. The house was in the perfect location for sightseeing, beach days, and enjoying the many amazing restaurants nearby. We especially loved how easy it was to walk to the beachside cafés and restaurants—just a few minutes away. The house itself was comfortable, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t fully cooperate during our trip, so we didn’t get to use the pool, but it was a lovely feature to have. On the sunnier days, we made the most of the terrace and soaked in the absolutely breathtaking views. The home is also in a great spot for day trips, with both Faro and Lagos close by for more exploring. We would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic ocean-side getaway. We definitely hope to return someday!

Had a perfect stay for a full month in December - can only highly recommend it. Luz is a lovely little town, with beautiful weather, light and bars/cafes/restos even in winter. The apartment is a perfect base and beautifully equipped with everything one could need. Kate is a formidable host with great recommendations that go beyond the usual. WiFi is fast and steady, so it also works for remote working. Would love to come back.

This villa is even prettier than in the photos. We were 8 people and really enjoyed our stay. everything was well prepared and clean. The kitchen has everything you need.

It was like a home away from home. Would have loved to stay.

Stephanie's home was the perfect setting for our 4 week stay in Luz! The property was spacious and immaculate. As a host, even though was out of the country, her response time and attention to any questions we had was exceptional. She also had a local representative who was at the ready for any local questions we had. All in all, we would highly recommend Stephanie's property as a perfect place to stay when visiting the Algarve. We were so appreciative of all kindness and attention. I'm fearful of providing such a review as my concern is that it won't be available the next time we visit Luz!

We are a family with five children , traveling for a month in Portugal and sleeping in Airbnb apartments, and this was by far the best house in every way: 1. The owner Tiago, from the first moment gives a warm and caring attitude and helps in all respects including the delicious treats at the check in, the host Ester is super nice . 2. The house itself is really beautifully decorated and fully equipped including games for children 3. The location is unbeatable- by foot there are amazing beaches, a gorgeous pool, and delicious restaurants In short, perfect

Jose and his Uncle Manuel exceeded our expectations. The view of the ocean was spectacular. Also Manuel entertained us with several songs on his accordion.

Very family friendly house and quiet neighbourhood. The house was well equipped and the host very responsive and easy to communicate with. Quick 5-10 mins walk to S.Rafael beach. Local amenities, Albufeira centre and Gale Beach within 10 mins drive.

We were welcomed by Anna. She was very friendly and full of information that was helpful to us. The villa is clean and beautiful and was a great home base for our traveling family of 5 adults. We all had plenty of room and were comfortable. The beach and points of interest were nearby. The pool is a great spot to hang out and refresh yourself. We loved it and would definitely recommend it.

We thought this was an ideal place to stay with the family. Alice responded very quickly to any questions that we had. Our young grandsons loved the pool which was larger than most hotel pools.

we had a great time! the house is gorgeous and well kept. private garden, shared (and very well kept) pool. the area is quiet and well connected and the view is wonderful from the terrace. keep in mind that it is not located in the center of Albufeira so you go everywhere by car, not on foot.

We had a great week-long family vacation for 9 people in Magui's XL house. Everything matches the listing and previous reviews perfectly! Highly recommended.

We had 9 members of a family gather for a milestone birthday. Everyone loved the house. It accommodated everyone well. We enjoyed the pool. There were various activities in the community that we enjoyed as well. It was a lovely visit.
