Villa vacation rentals in São Bartolomeu de Messines

Wir waren eine große Gruppe, mit 8 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern (1 und 3 J.). Wir hatten tolle zwei Wochen in der Villa. Das Anwesen verfügt wirklich über alles, was man benötigt, um einen tollen Sommer-Sonne-Spass-Urlaub zu verbringen. Die schönsten Strände der sind innerhalb von 10 Minuten mit dem Auto zu erreichen z.B.: Praia Marinha. Die Küche ist mit Allem ausgestattet, was das Herz begehrt, inkl. Entsafter, Kaffemaschine etc... Für uns war das Pizza-backen im Pizza-Steinofen ein Highlight. Zu Beginn gab es ein paar kleine Probleme mit dem Pool, die aber sofort nach unserer Meldung behoben wurden. Die Hausverwalter stehen in ständigem Kontakt, sodass man eigentlich ständig fragen loswerden kann. Wen es einen nicht zwingend ins Umland treibt, der muss die Villa eigentlich nur zum Einkaufen verlassen :)

We hebben een heerlijke tijd gehad in deze woning in onze kerstvakantie. Grote teleurstelling was wel dat het zwembad niet warm was, terwijl juist daarmee geadverteerd werd. Deze was pas aan het einde van onze week vakantie op temperatuur. Uiteraard zijn we hier wel voor gecompenseerd. Verder is het huis prachtig, omgeving heel fijn om te hardlopen en met de auto uitstapjes te doen. We zouden graag weer eens terug komen.

Olhos De Agua is situated at one end of the Falesia beach a beautiful 6km walk from Villamoura. The villa is very close to a supermarket, local beaches and lots of great cafes and restaurants. It's less than 10 mins into Albufeira too. The villa is very spacious, the rooms are large, the beds are comfortable and clean. Getting around is easy by bus or Uber. Carlos was very attentive, he allowed us in early and out late. We had one problen which he was unable to fix with the air con upstairs. If you are large group and want a spacious villa with your own pool and a pool table and table tennis this is a great option. There is a building site over the road, thet were bricking when we were there so it wasn't very noisy

We absolutely loved Sergio’s villa, it had everything we needed, with magnificent views across the valley. It was sooo peasant and pleasant. The kids loved the heated pool and the garden. We will be back!!!!

Joana was a fantastic host and the property was perfect. There’s a lovely coffee shop just down the road with extremely helpful staff. The property had everything you need and is abundantly spacious. Joana is so helpful with her recommendations. We had a 16month old with us and no question or request was too much. I especially loved the baby friendly features such as the cot (not a travel crib) and the highchair. You’re a short distance to supermarkets beaches and restaurants but far enough out to feel peaceful. We will be coming back!

This was a truly fantastic villa, just what we (as a couple) were looking for (difficult to find good size villas for two persons); but could comfortably accommodate at least 4. Everything was as described; and Catia responded promptly to questions, etc. The villa is in a great location, less than 5 minutes walk from many restaurants (Sao Domingos is especially good) and other local amenities - Aldi is less than 5 minutes walk; a small Apolonia (think Waitrose Express) about 15-20 minutes walk (less than 5 by car); and a large Continente (Tesco/Sainsbury's) about 10 - 15 minutes drive (in the Algarve Shopping Mall). Praia da Gale is also 15-20 minutes walk (5 by car), with Restaurant Praia da Gale also recommended. It is beautiful inside, with plenty of kitchen equipment; and beautifully furnished and finished. Very easy to find as on the main road through the town. All in all, a fabulous place; and we will certainly look to book again when looking to stay in Gale.

Beautiful setting and so peaceful. We stayed for 2 weeks in June 2025, the location is high up the mountain so can be cool in the mornings and evenings. However we loved having an open fire in the evenings and James provided all the wood we needed. James was quick to respond when called upon. We loved the space this property gave us and grew to love its quirky design layout. We would certainly recommend James and “villa de Cima” one thing we would advise is having the pool heated. Thanks James

If you are looking for a beautiful location to unplug and relax, look no further than Bernardo & Laura’s place. The photos don’t do justice to the breathtaking views. Their place is in a very peaceful and quiet spot in the mountains; while still being only about 35 minutes from the amazing beaches of the Algarve. We were a group of 6 people, including 2 young kids, and we always felt very comfortable in the spacious accommodations. Laura was super responsive and helpful in all of our communications and was able to accommodate an early check-in, which we appreciated after a long flight. We would definitely recommend this home.

The most amazing place we’ve ever stayed. We travel as a family of 7 and use Airbnb regularly all over the world. This is the best presented, best location, so close to fun experiences, history, culture, beaches. We all loved it and wish we’d stayed longer. The house is beautiful, well thought out and stunningly decorated, with well curated art. It felt like home much more than the average Airbnb experience. Highly recommended.

Our stay at this villa was fantastic! The new outdoor kitchen was amazing, and the heated pool made it extra special. The Arkeo team went above and beyond, even installing a fence to keep our small child safe from the stairs. The location is perfect, and the elevator was incredibly convenient for our luggage. One thing that really stood out is how much better the villa feels in person—it’s elegant and understated in the photos, but the space, design, and atmosphere are even more impressive when you’re actually there. Although our stay was too short, we can’t wait to come back for a longer visit. Highly recommend this villa for a luxurious stay in Quinta do Lago!

We thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Even with bad weather the pool is warm and the setting is wonderful. We will book again in a sunnier month!

Vielen Dank, dass wir Gas bei Ihnen sein durften! Das Haus, die Lage als auch die Einrichtung waren zweifelsfrei hervor. Absolut wundervoll und äußerst stilvoll eingerichtet. Mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Der Austausch mit dem Gastgebern war schnell und einfach. Absolut empfehlenswert und jeden Euro wert!! Klare Empfehlung. Ganz herzlichen Dank und beste Grüße aus Deutschland Max, Miriam und die Crew

Madalena was a fabulous host, really friendly and always a quick response to my messages.. a stunning location, the photos really don't do it justice. We stayed for 4 nights, enjoying walking to nearby Loule. A supermarket just 5 mins walk away and a cafe. Would not hesitate to go back, thank you so much Madalena

Great value spot in the algarve. Awesome Location and brilliant property. Would recommend to anyone, particularly large groups

What a fantastic property and location. We had high expectations from the photos and price, but they were met and more. Modern with all of the amenities: cooking essentials, beach gear / toys, towels, beers if you're lucky the previous guest didn't finish them! Wendy and Manel are very responsive (when asked - not interfering!) and I am so glad they have shared their home with us for a week. We've walked the coastal path on past visits and wondered what it would be like to live in one of the villas right next to it... Now we know and want to do it again!

If you're looking for a place to stay near Praia da Arrifana, book Lyn's beautiful home - you won't regret it! We were there during a major storm, and even with poor weather we had an absolutely wonderful time. The house is very spacious and comfortably decorated, with an extremely well-equipped kitchen for cooking (a huge plus for us). The house is walking distance from the beach and the Rota Vicentina hiking trails, and there's a good supermarket just a few minutes away by car. Lyn and Mariana were very easy to communicate with and helpful...we'd love to go back some time!

Absolutely perfect stay — 10/10! This was the ideal place for a visit to the Algarve. Rosa was hands down the best host I’ve ever had on Airbnb. From the moment I booked, she went above and beyond. Before I even arrived, she sent a detailed guide with everything I needed to know about the property, plus amazing recommendations for local restaurants, sights, and hidden gems. The home itself was spotless, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a fantastic stay. I truly couldn’t recommend this place more — I’ll definitely be coming back!

Das Haus ist sehr schön. Steht im Neubau Gebiet( es werden noch einige Hauser gebaut). Wir wurden von Maria herzlich begrüßt. Sie hat uns alles erklärt und gezeigt. Hat uns auch viele tolle Tipps gegeben. Restaurants, Sehenswürdigkeiten etc. Sie war auch immer für uns erreichbar. Auch Salz, Pfeffer und Öl waren vor Ort( nicht wie manche es geschrieben haben). Wir waren zu 8 im Haus( Erwachsene) hatten genug Besteck und Geschirr. Waschmaschine wurde auch benutzt:-) Mit Shampoo und Seife war jedes Bad ausgestattet. Uns hat es gut gefallen. Vielen Dank.

Returning to this luxury property feels like coming home. The hosts and Laura, go above and beyond to ensure each stay surpasses the last. Their attention to detail, proactive communication, and warm hospitality make every visit exceptional. I'm grateful for the consistency and quality of care they provide and look forward to many more stays. Highly recommended for those seeking a truly attentive and luxurious experience. Thanks again for another perfect visit!

A fab stay from start to finish. Rafael and Anna-Sophie were excellent hosts, very responsive and super flexible around our arrival time which was late in the evening. The apartment was very well-equipped and has been designed in a clever way to make the most of the space – it actually feels much bigger than it looks in the photos. The patio balcony with a BBQ was perfect for al-fresco dining, the gardens have been beautifully maintained and the swimming pool was perfect for a hot summers day. You can easily reach the towns of Boliqueime and Loulé by car and the coast is only a c. 20 min drive away. Would definitely recommend, thank you!

Our first time traveling with our new baby so we had a lot of questions, Nuno was super responsive and helpful. Place was great, would definitely return and recommend

Wonderful house, with lots of space for outdoors activities, close to Loule where there are there is lots of wonderful restaurants and culture. We really enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend!

We had such a wonderful week at Villa Ocean Dreams! Giuliana’s home was even more beautiful and spacious than the photos! The location was fantastic with the beach so close and the boardwalk to walk into the marina or town right across the street. The pool and hot tub made our week even better. We spent much of our time in the comfortable gathering areas by the pool, under the shade and awnings upstairs and downstairs, or playing games in the evening at the dining table. All of the beds were very comfortable and the air conditioning was perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals for our group of five and was so well stocked with cooking utensils and appliances. Giuliana was so helpful and welcoming, making us feel right at home.

The house is beautiful! And it had everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed the swimming pool, tennis table and pool table. It is also near wonderful beaches like Praia dos tres Irmãos. We hope to come back one day!
