Vacation rentals with lake access in Barlavento Algarvio

We had a great week at this Vale do Rei. Quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the Algarve, surrounded by eucalyptus and lands that Christiane cultivates with love. The place is perfect (even better than in the photos and much bigger than it looks). Very well equipped, fresh and subtly decorated. The bedding is comfortable. Suitable for children (we were there with our 4 year old daughter). Common spaces further enhance the experience. A car is essential; nevertheless, you will find everything you need at 10min, in the village located at the bottom of the valley. Christiane is infinite kindness and availability. His sense of detail and warmth make us feel like friends of family. Another huge thank you for everything.

Comfortable, well decorated home with all amenities we could need! On a very quiet road, with sea and sunset views from the upstairs balcony. Sarah/Anne were very easily to communicate with. Walkable to a couple of restaurants (Manuel’s on the roundabout is excellent!) but a car needed for other restaurants. Monte Clerigo beach nearby is brilliant for families, with a wonderful cafe on the beach and lots of parking. Take mosquito spray for evenings and nights!

Great property, cats, dogs, horses, pigs, pool, table tennis … everything that big and small desire, wonderful tranquility and yet the beach is not too far away, we can only recommend

Great place to rest and relax. Calm, very beautiful sounds of birds and other animals. Comfortable house, large rooms and very well equipped.

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The garden and pool area are perfect for relaxing, and the location is ideal for surfers with several great beaches nearby. It’s also perfect for those traveling with a dog, as the fenced and walled property offers peace of mind. Highly recommend for a chill and active getaway!

This place was so cute and in a really great location. Taxis were easy to get, restaurants and supermarkets were close, and there was a beautiful walk along the water. Highly recommend!

David's place in Odeceixe is sublime. we had the best time here with our small daughter using the pool and the bbq and enjoying the stunning local beaches. We will definitely come back again

We had a very nice stay in Simon's house. Everything was perfect, we enjoyed cooking and sitting and playing cards on the terrace. It's also a nice location for discovering the beaches in the area.

We had a lovely welcome from Joao. He showed us around the property and told us about the area. The house has been beautifully renovated and was comfortable and spotlessly clean. At the side there is short path that leads directly to the beach. There is a nice and reasonable beach bar on the dunes and sun beds can be hired. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the veranda for breakfast and in the evenings.

Large and spacious! Bed a little old but comfortable. Great balcony with view. Close to old town 5-10 minute walk. Would diffently stay there again.

Amazing!!! Stunning views. Location was perfect. Would stay here again!!! Absolutely loved it here. Highly recommend.

We very much enjoyed our stay here near the beach in Galé for almost two weeks and would gladly return. The apartment is spacious, well-equipped (the kitchen had many extra appliances, even a blender), and regularly cleaned. The humidity of being near the beach is managed by modern ACs in all rooms. Although there are not windows with outside views because the apartment is on a corner by the roundabout, plenty of light comes in through the two living room windows and very large window doors to the patio in both rooms. We greatly enjoyed the private patio and grilling. Some normal street noise is audible in the living room and mostly just during the day; we were not bothered by it and did not hear anything while sleeping. Praia da Galé Oeste is just across the street and a short walk on the boardwalk, which you can take for a scenic walk all the way to Armaçao de Pêra. Nuno was a very responsive and proactive host, with many recommendations for the area. Thank you!!

Very nice and generous hosts. I would come back 😊

The apartment was exactly as pictured—modern, clean, and comfortable with beautiful views. The location was walkable, which made exploring the area easy and enjoyable. We appreciated the responsiveness of the host and the thoughtful welcome gift—it was a lovely touch! The recommendations provided were appreciated. That said, there were a couple of things that could be improved. Directions to the apartment were a bit tricky to follow, and the 6 PM check-in time felt quite late compared to my experiences over 8 years of staying in Airbnbs around the world. We were surprised to find that some necessities weren’t provided. For a 3-night stay with 4 guests, only 4 coffee pods and a few mismatched tea bags were available, which seemed more like leftovers than intentional provisions. There were also no paper towels or basic cooking staples (beyond salt and pepper). Overall, we had a pleasant stay, but a few small improvements could make the experience even better.

perfect apartment at a perfect location! beautiful view of the harbour and around the corner from several restaurants! will definitely recommend this place!

We really enjoyed our stay at Vitória’s place. It had everything we needed, was clean and in a great location! Would definitely stay again.

The host is Mr. Pedro very friendly and always available. The house is very catita with all the amenities needed in the middle of nature and with a magnificent view of the Ria Formosa. To highlight the activities that can be done such as horse riding, cycling and hiking through the estate. We will return without a doubt and recommend this place.

Beautiful house! Very clean and stylishly decorated! We had an great week and felt very comfortable. The house is located just outside Silves surrounded by nature. We will be happy to come back!

We spent a month in André's house and had a blast. The house is in a great location for those who seek tranquility and nature, but also close enough to shops, restaurants and beaches. It was spot-on clean and has a fireplace for those colder days. Comfortable and huge bed. André was super-responsive, friendly, and helpful. It was a great stay overall!

This home is a beautiful farm house in the area - you feel right at home when you arrive and it makes you want to move in. The property is so peaceful, calming and great for kids and outdoor meals. The location is wonderful and right in the middle of all of the beaches in the area. The hosts are incredibly helpful and communicative (the best communication I've encountered with an airbnb) - always there to respond to you if you have questions and help with anything that comes up. The house is also incredibly well equipped for multiple guests and a longer stay - the photos don't reveal just how many dishes, pots and pans, and other supplies the home has. As well, the windows have screens which is a HUGE plus that many airbnbs in the area do not have. If you are there in cooler or wetter weather, the house does get a little bit damp if you are sensitive to that but that is pretty common for most places in the area and the hosts have put things in place to help with it.

My family and I had a very nice week in Marta's house and we felt very comfortable there. The large living area is inviting to be together and the piano was well used. Aljezur is a few minutes' drive away, as well as 3 great beaches. We highly recommend the place!

I've stayed at Anabela's a few years back and loved it that I came back this year. Anabela is lovely and she has uograded her place in the kast years with apool area. I love the remote Location and the mood around her place, Its is cosy with many places to hang out in hammocks. You can BBQ, there is even a Pizza oven. I can only highly recommend this charming house.

Hard not to fall in love with this place. Everything one could dream of. It’s a very relaxed environment with two very cool humans, whom which have built a little town of their own if you don’t say! We were lucky enough to have a little tour of the place, hear about how it all started. Went horseback riding with Chris which was incredo. Swam in the pond, sat in the sauna but mostly just enjoyed the view. And hung out with the doggos. Thank you. Will definitely come again when I return to Portugal.

I had the pleasure of staying at Gaismas place for a couple of days to visit relatives in the area. The place is very nice, clean, practical and has very lovingly been created by Gaisma and her partner. It's removed from the main road and you shouldn't be afraid to use unpaved roads, but that's how it is in the whole area. The description to get there Gaisma sent through before arrival was very accurate, and I had no problem getting there. Her dogs are very friendly and curious, but also understand that no is a no. Greatly recommended.
