Villa vacation rentals in Costa Occidental

HPaco and Steven were truly exceptional hosts! We arrived during a surprise blackout, but Paco responded right away and went out of his way to help us settle in—something we deeply appreciated. Their home is beautiful, with a lovely pool and inviting outdoor space. While it was a bit too chilly for a swim during our visit, we could easily imagine enjoying it in warmer weather. The location is ideal—just 30 minutes from Faro and an hour from Lagos—perfect for day trips and exploring the region. We’d absolutely love to return and highly recommend this fantastic place to anyone visiting the area!

Für uns war vor allem der nahegelegene Park perfekt um mit dem Hund laufen zu gehen. Die Lage überhaupt hat uns gut gefallen, es ist schön ruhig. Auch zu Fuss gut nach Olhão Zentrum machbar. Die Kommunikation mit der Gastgeberin funktioniert einwandfrei. Die Wohnung verfügt über alles was man braucht. Wir hatten hier eine sehr gute Zeit!

Beautiful, immaculate property. Even better than the pictures. Everything about the place was perfect. Couldn’t have found a better place to come back to after long days of exploring the Algarve.

Casa com 1 quarto no R/CH e 2 quartos no 1. andar, tranquila, perto de restaurantes e da praia. A casa tinha todos os utensílios e comodidades necessárias para uma estadia agradável e tranquila. O anfitrião foi muito prestável, e providenciou todas as informações necessárias ao funcionamento da casa e dicas para restaurantes e locais para visitar. A piscina é ótima.

Phil et Rose sont des hôtes excellents . Les prestations de la maison sont haut de gamme, propreté, très bien équipée. Une belle décoration et une belle terrasse avec piscine nous ont permis de passer un super séjour. Phil est très attentif et réactif sur simple demande, nous le recommandons chaudement. Merci beaucoup pour ce séjour dans cette magnifique région de l'Algarve.

Prachtige locatie midden in de natuur met geweldige uitzichten, zeker bij zonsop- en ondergang! Huis van alle gemakken voor zien met heerlijk zwembad. Let er wel op dat je de juiste weg naar het huis toeneemt! Met de gekregen coördinaten gaf Google maps de weg vanuit het oosten aan, die weg is echter zeer smal en slecht begaanbaar (waardoor helaas schade aan de auto). Je moet vanaf westelijke richting naar het huis rijden, wat betekent dat je bij het bruggetje direct rechtsaf moet ipv rechtdoor. Maar niet afschrikken door dit bericht, want het huis is geweldig.

A great location away from the tourist coast. Very peaceful, serene and private. The house had good facilities and made for a great stay

Jonathan & Sandra were fantastic hosts. swift and responsive from first enquiry to check out. very considerate hosts, gave local recommendations and provided flexibility. . Everything we needed there, and assistance was available through Greet who met us on arrival and departure and kindly brought additional equipment (scales and large mixer) to us to bake cakes, even bringing extra games suitable for our disabled child. Discreet and also available for anything we needed. The villa was beautiful, the surroundings and grounds breathtaking. Shops a 5 minute drive and all we wanted to see was within 30 minutes, although mainly stayed in and soaked up the serene magic of this location. we didn't hire a car, we used Uber which was easy, reasonable and straightforward. 5 euros to the local supermarket, 15-20 euros to the mar shopping complex, 25 euros to Tavira. An incredible place, wonderful hosts and a firm favourite with our family. thank you so much for everything. ❤

Very nice villa, great pool (glad we heated it!) and lots of space for our 13-person group. Bathrooms were splendid. It could have a bit more cleaning equipment for guests to use during stay, while parts of the plot aren’t as easy/safe for our 1.5yr old baby to walk around. Other than that: great! Hence, 5*

Het huis is rustig gelegen en omringd door een prachtige, goed onderhouden tuin! Ook het verwarmde zwembad kon ons bekoren, zelfs nu tijdens ons verblijf het weer ietwat tegenviel. Je hebt om op deze locatie comfortabel te verblijven best wel een auto nodig want het ligt ietwat afgelegen (wat het juist zo leuk en uniek maakt!). In het dorpje vind je werkelijk alles wat je nodig hebt: van een tankstation en een klein supermarktje, voor dagdagelijkse benodigdheden, tot goede restaurants! We hebben ervan genoten en kunnen een verblijf hier meer dan aanbevelen!

Nous avons passé un séjour inoubliable à 16 personnes pour l’EVJF de ma sœur 💍 à la Casa Bela Vida ! La maison est superbe, décorée avec beaucoup de goût, les chambres sont spacieuses, confortables et tout est très propre. L’extérieur est juste magnifique. 🤩 À notre arrivée, nous avons été chaleureusement accueillies par Inès, qui a été disponible et réactive tout au long de notre séjour. L’emplacement est parfait, à 30 minutes de Faro avec un accès rapide à l’autoroute. Nous serions bien restées plus longtemps tant le lieu était agréable ! Un immense merci à Ruben et Vivian, des hôtes adorables, disponibles, à l’écoute et très arrangeants. Je recommande vivement la Casa Bela Vida 🌟 ! Des hôtes au top, pour un lieu qui l’est tout autant. Merci pour tout 💛

The house was fantastic, And Carol the host made the arrival and the stay very pleasant. Thank you for your support all the time . We have wonderful holidays. Regards

José et Catiá ont été très accueillant et disponible pour notre séjour à 12 dans leur maison, notamment pour remédier rapidement à des petits soucis (un problème d'ouverture de porte par exemple). ils ont aussi été arrangeant sur notre heure d'arrivée et nous les en remercions beaucoup. leur logement est beau, très fonctionnel et très très bien entretenu, il est très agréable à vivre. Le seul point disons négatifs qui ne dépend pas de nos hôtes sont les nombreux travaux de constructions dans le quartier qui engendrent quelques nuisances sonores matinales mais sinon tout était super! Merci à eux !

We had the most magical time at Casa Stardust! It really is a special place. It’s wonderful gardens, which just keep on giving.. every corner you turn provides another tranquil resting area. The kids absolutely loved exploring and visiting the turtles & frogs in the pond & loved making friends with the resident rooster and his ladies💕 The beaches nearby are family friendly and there are lots of different options, the local restaurants & towns are wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! ✨✨

Wonderful and enjoyable stay. Cosy house with all the amenities you need and super clean. Location-wise, also great as it is close to the beach (10 min walk; 3 min by car) but also the tennis academy, golf course, etc. Nice pool, heated upon arrival. Lynn was incredibly friendly, enthusiastic and very responsive to our questions. Also during the large power outage she made sure we were ok and had everything we needed.

Had a wonderful stay with family and friends. Perfect to share with friends and their children. Such a beautiful villa and the grounds were perfect! The views were incredible and a lovely, responsive host! If only the weather could have been better for us! Would definitely visit again!

Abel ha estado atento en todo momento, casa amplia, buen jardín, ideal para ir a disfrutar de tus vacaciones con amigos o familia.

Excellent off season vacation. We were visiting friends in Huelva and Portugal so we decided to stay in El Rompido. The home is beautiful, we would have loved to have used the swimming pool but it was too cold. It is 30 min to Huelva and 1 hr to Faro, Portugal. The house is great for a group, upstairs is open and guests can live comfortably downstairs. We would definitely stay here again! Gate staff were very friendly as well.

This villa is absolutely stunning! Amazing views and very clean. Had a lovely stay here . And the perfect holiday with my wife and our three children. Can not fault it in any way. Highly recommended

We had a perfect stay at Villa Eltael! The house was exactly as described—spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The beds were great, and the whole place felt calm and cozy, ideal for a relaxing family holiday. The heated pool was a fantastic addition and made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is great—quiet and peaceful, but close to everything you need (supermarket, restaurants, etc) and still within walking distance to the beach. We were also pleasantly surprised by how well-equipped the house was. All the essentials were provided—from coffee, laundry and dishwashing detergents, to even charcoal for the barbecue. It made everything so easy and convenient. João and Sívila were outstanding hosts! Their warm welcome, excellent communication, and flexibility with check-in made us feel completely at home. Their hospitality truly made our stay unforgettable. We wish we could have stayed longer and will certainly come back soon. Totally recommend this place!

The photos didn't do the place justice - the house is peaceful, spacious and immaculate. The pool was the perfect size - bigger than we thought it would be. It's close to the local town, walkable if needed. I will definitely stay here again.

The moment we arrived we were given a warm welcome from Carla’s mother Fernanda. Fernanda was extremely friendly and gave us a thorough tour of the property. The villa was stunning and the location was beautiful and peaceful with vibrant flowers with many birds swooping around. This is was our first holiday with our 14 month old baby girl and the villa was perfect for us with everything we needed and more. A wonderful cot was supplied and the rooms were very comfortable. The area was quiet with local shops, coffee shop and small restaurants within walking distance.Everything else we needed was just a 15 minute drive away including the town of Tavira. The nearest beach was just a 10 minute drive to a charming train (perfect for the kids) which takes you across the river which separates the beach. Would highly recommend this place for any family’s looking to explore the algarve and we could not be happier guests. Both Carla and Fernanda should be proud hosts.

Finca Fotea is so great, that the leaving moment is very, very difficult. If you are looking for a place with sunny and stable weather, big space for living, great 24h pool (enough big and deep), fast internet connection, where you can rest being not in crowded touristic city and from the other hand you are very close to Algarve in Portugal and Spanish coast – Finca Fotea will be a best place for you. First of all we would like to thank our host Tania and her Team. They made a really home atmosphere and helped us very quickly, when it was necessary. We had huge space for living in the very well equipped and clean house. The internet connection was very good. The pool is really big (ca. 4m x 12m) and enough deep (ca. 1,5-2m). There is no time limits for pool usage, so we swam even at the midnight with pool lighting. From the house entry we saw every day the ocean. From the other hand, that was a great place to reach many places in Algarve/Portugal and Spain. We rested and calmed down.

Le séjour dans cette villa a été parfait, tout était impeccable avec tous les équipements nécessaires pour passer de bons moments ! L'emplacement est idéal et l'extérieur incroyable. Mention spéciale à Sébastien qui s'est adapté à nos horaires et qui nous a donné de bon conseils pour profiter des meilleurs endroits aux alentours. Encore un grand merci !
