Apartment holiday rentals in Faro

We stayed at Ocean Chic 1 for the month of January and enjoyed the apartment. Rui was very responsive and always available with great recommendations. The beach is right there and old town is a short walk. Lots of good restaurants close by. We were 2 couples and enjoyed our stay very much, thanks Rui!

We had a wonderful time here. The place is so much bigger than we anticipated. Local to both beach and restaurants, everything you need is within walking distance. Would stay here again and again!

Great location. Communication worked well. Place was great.

All in all this was a very good apartment. Only 7 minutes in a straight way to the beach. Justine answered almost right away. For the autumn time I would highly recommend this!

We stayed for a week in November 2024 and the location was great, regardless of what the weather was going to bring. The beaches are close by; MAR/ Designer Outlet were 15-20 minutes leisurely drive away and Forum not much longer. Faro old town was similarly close too. If you are a golfer, this is a perfect location to be in and if you are not, it is an upmarket area, with a very nice atmosphere. The property was large enough for us as a couple and having the satellite TV in so many languages will make it suitable for a range of nationalities. The local Pingo Doce is literally 5 minutes away, making life very easy, whether picking up essentials, or products for cooking in the ample kitchen in the condo. In all, a very nice stay.

Had a lovely stay with my family , everything was perfect . Apartment was even better than the photos . Communication with Ricardo beforehand & and throughout our stay was very quick replies , nothing was too much trouble . From the taxi transfer to the apartment was perfect . The driver was lovely & friendly & also Elizabete who met us at the apartment with the keys was so lovely & she showed us around the apartment & let us know to contact her if we had any issues which we did not have without our stay . We really appreciated the welcome pack , tea/coffee/sugar /milk etc also even a bottle of wine in the fridge which was a very nice surprise & it too was nice . The apartment block & pool area was great , not too busy so we enjoyed the peaceful surroundings , beautiful kept gardens & trees . Very secure block of apartments . The electric shutters was a favourite of mine . Would highly recommend anyone for a stay here as it’s so near to the Strip & plenty restaurants & cafes too

Jorge’s place was really a home away from home especially with our three little girls (5, 4, 1.5 years old). Our girls loved the two bunkbeds. It was spacious, super clean & the kitchen was fully equipped with everything you’d need to cook meals but also walkable to many beaches and restaurants; however one of our favourites was the restaurant just below the building! We loved the beach behind the building as well which was only a few minutes walk. We didn’t end up using the pools in the facility but everything looked great! Jorge himself was very responsive, professional and definitely a superhost helping us check-in as we booked this Airbnb very last minutes and got there later in the evening. The shampoo and conditioner in the showers were nicer than the ones I have at home. I highly recommend this place and we would definitely stay here again when we come back to Portugal in the future. Thank you Jorge for sharing your home with us.

The apartment was just as described. We were met at the entrance and shown around. Right over the road from Cerro Mar Garden hotel. You can use the facilities here, I’d avoid the buffet though. It’s about 100m to the top of the 99 steps down to the old town square, in a nice quiet area. You’re expected to empty the bins, wash dishes and wash the pool towels before you leave. Communication was very good. There’s an Aldi and Lidl 10 min walk away, it’s a quiet residential area, one small bar called Joseph’s nearby.

Its a nice spacious appartment, good kitchen and balcony, everything is there that you need. Hosts are friendly and quick with their responses. Opted to stay longer since it was so comfortable.

This is a great place to stay, the apartment is lovely. You can walk into Ferragudo with lovely restaurants cafes and beaches. Parking is easy . Friendly neighbourhood. Great

Absolutely beautiful apartment in a stunning location with a friendly host - couldn’t ask for more

One of the best Airbnb’s we have stayed in. It’s a very modern apartment in a historic building, the conversion was overseen by an award winning Portuguese architect. The pool was amazing. It’s a perfect place to explore Tavira only a few minutes walk to the centre . The apartment feels like a home from home.

Beautiful and spacious apartment with a nice view over the dunes and sea at Ferragudo. Apartment is in a suburb of Ferragudo and on a hill, Vila Gaivota Phase 2. Within walking distance of a beautiful stand, Praia dos Caneiros. To walk to Ferragudo with you half an hour walk through a rolling dune landscape and via rocky dune paths. Apartment has a beautiful and modern beach/sea decor and is spacious in design and equipped with everything. Everything for a nice stay. To do your shopping, you can go to Ferragudo itself, at the local entrepreneurs, or drive towards the Lidl and Continente further towards Portimao.

Had a great stay at this lovely spacious apartment. With quite a few bathrooms and some lovely balconies it was perfect and could easily of accommodated more. The location is excellent, and being in the gated marina complex, very quiet and safe with loads of parking (right outside the apartment) and restaurants/bars and supermarkets all in walking distance (<5mins). Some great walks nearby and Albufeira is a super cheap uber ride or you can cycle/walk. The apartment was furnished to a high standard with everything you could need...and it was a perfect place for us to stay over Christmas and New Year. Luci was a great host with clear instructions and answered questions in a few minutes. First time in the marina and we will definitely be back! Thanks Luci.

John's place was a great find. I highly recommend it. Location was great. John was extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Lots of amenities in the apartment including beach mats etc. which was a great touch. Parking was secure underground and easy to access. Overall a really great experience! I would definitely stay again.

I had a fantastic (short) stay in Praia de Santa Eulalia at Irina's apartment. I visited in January meaning the complex was pretty empty, so my stay was very peaceful and relaxing. Irina's apartment has everything you need for a stay in Albufeira, walking distance to two supermarkets and quite a few restaurants and coffee shops. Beach is also at walking distance, although water was quite cold in January! Access to the apartment was relatively easy, instructions were very clear and Irina was always accessible and prompt to answer via text - thank you for a wonderful stay!

brilliant service and even better apartment

We were very comfortable in the apartment ,Susana welcomed us ahead of time and showed us the apartment , very happy , we will definitely be back . very quiet area and not far from the bar and acio area.

There is nothing but praise and gratitude to Kathleen and Manuel for being such amazing hosts. The property exceeded expectations, and we found everything to be as described perfectly according to the description. We didn't have a car, but used uber/taxis to carvoeiro and local areas such as Estombar and Benagil. The local intermarche supermarket was only a 10 walk away, and I'd compare it to Asda in UK. Plenty of choice, easy to find what you need, but do not buy imported English goods unless absolutely necessary because they're extremely overpriced (just some helpful advice) Kathleen and Manuel have 2 dogs. Millie and Max. We absolutely fell in love with Millie especially 😍 please give her attention if you love dogs and Sat by the pool, she's so friendly and super intelligent. The attention to detail in everything about the property was perfect for our family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children aged 8 and 9. We'd absolutely recommend this property and hosts to anyone.

We had already been with David and we returned with great pleasure, it's like being at home. The place was very quiet during this time, we had a great time. David immediately met our every request, thank you very much.

We stayed at Natalia's apartment as a family of four, 2 kids aged 6 and 8. It was fantastic! The apartment had everything we needed to enjoy our stay and it was easy to get in touch when needed. The location is great allowing us to explore nearby towns and beaches with ease, there are supermarkets and local shops close by for whatever you need. The garden area is beautiful kept and an enjoyable space to hangout with the family. Highly recommend this apartment for a stay in the Algarve!

Lovely 2 bed apartment in the old town. Spotlessly clean and fantastic communication to facilitate a last minute booking. Ana, who manages the complex, and her husband, were super responsive to any of our questions or needs. As others have highlighted, the large terrace which is not overlooked by anyone is pretty special and the flat is very homely and stylish. Just to note that the shower issues mentioned in previous reviews were not an issue anymore - the shower worked very well with no issues!

We visited friends who live in Carvoeiro for new years - this was an excellent stay for us and for such good value! An easy 5 mins walk down the hill into the main part of town which made everything accessible for us. The accommodation itself was perfect for 3 guests with sufficient space and facilities. Having a car parking space was also a bonus considering we rented a car for our stay. The host communicated regularly and made everything very clear for us and make the experience easy and enjoyable. We have nothing bad to say and have actually shared the link to friends who are looking to stay in the area for an upcoming trip. I very highly recommend and we’ll be using the same again for future trips.

Really lovely place to stay in Alvor. Good location only a short walk from town but far enough away to be very peaceful, with ample car parking and a grocery store a 1 minute walk away. The condominium pool and apartment balcony were great additions to our seaside holiday experience! The apartment itself was very spacious for two people and comfortably furnished with everything we needed during our stay, including some beach towels and umbrellas. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay in Alvor!
