Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Costa Occidental

São is a friendly and very attentive host. Their beautiful home is perfect for lounging in the Alentejano countryside, but just minutes away from Mértola and other cities of interest. Tastefully decorated, it has everything you need to make your stay very pleasant. Thank you for everything, we will not hesitate to return.

Our family (my husband, two daughters, and I) had the most wonderful time at this beautiful countryside Airbnb! The property is set in a peaceful, scenic location, surrounded by nature and endless charm. We enjoyed sitting in the garden just listening to nature. One of the highlights for us was being able to pick fresh oranges right from the trees — making our own juice each morning was such a special experience that our girls will never forget. We loved walking/running the paths nearby. Our host was available if we needed anything and gave us good recommendations for restaurants and activites. This was one of the most relaxing and memorable family trips we’ve had.

Great place with the the great pool. A little remote and in the rural area but that was exactly what we were looking for. Can strongly recommend Jose’s place. Note that going by car the GPS might take you through a very tight uphill street that was very stressful for us with the big car and took a long time to get through. So just be aware, otherwise all great!

Really nice little house with pool! Great with children and very calm area. Be aware that you drive ~25 minutes to the beach from Furnazinhas.

David and Megan's spacious townhouse was in a perfect spot to be near everything, but not right in the middle of the hustle and bustle. They offered some nice extras that don't seem to be part of the AirBnB experience anymore, like milk, juice and coffee to start off your vacation. David even picked us up at the train station and drove us to the townhouse. We were impressed with their quick response when we had a question. Although we didn't take advantage of the service, they offered to be of assistance with providing ideas for excursions and things to do in the area.

We (two people) had booked Maria's house for a week. The house has everything you need: on the ground floor was the kitchen and a small storeroom with a washing machine. Also on the ground floor was the living and dining area, a toilet and access to the terrace. On the first floor were two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. On the top floor there was another bedroom with a bathroom and access to the roof terrace. Outside there was a large pool with plenty of seating and sunbathing areas, a parasol and a barbecue. Each room had air conditioning (to cool or heat the rooms). The House is about a 30 minute drive from Faro. There is a supermarket in the next village. The area is quiet and idyllic. You have a lot of privacy in the House.

This is a lovely property with great views. Derek & Inge are the perfect hosts. They were friendly and very helpful. Amenities - the attention to detail was above what we expected.

The house of José e Cátia is very cozy and still has 2 wonderful terraces!! Communication with José was excellent. He received us with great joy. We were close to everything, the festival, the beach, the restaurants, the groceries… I loved spending these days at Fuseta and playing at the festival. Thank you!! And I hope come back to your home at Fuseta!

Thank you for the welcome and the extra heater very useful. The welcome was warm and suitable.

In our travels through Portugal, this was absolutely the best place we stayed. Marcio’s place is very spacious, very clean, and has the feeling of being in a real home. There is a large outdoor patio where we enjoyed hanging out. And even though we were in a central location, the apartment was peaceful and quiet. Marcio was very easy to communicate with, and even when we locked ourselves out of the apartment, he was extremely kind and helpful. I can’t recommend this place enough. It was fabulous!!

We had a very nice week as a family of three in Casa Regina, Apartment 2. We were able to sit comfortably on the large terrace. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need. We were able to use the pool and garden nicely. Washing machine great. Andrew and his mother Lurdes were very responsive and communicative. In case of problems with the shower, they responded quickly and there were cookies and wine as a small compensation. When booking, Andrew also points out that it is a quiet residential unit. It is actually important to consider this, as the apartments are quite close to each other. Apartment 3 adjoins the large bedroom and, depending on the neighbors, it can also be a bit noisy. You can also always hear the street, but at night it is relatively quiet and also at the pool it is idyllic. It should also be mentioned that the entrance from apartment 1 leads to the terrace of apartment 2. We had very nice neighbors, so it wasn't disturbing for us.

Superb apartment that exceeded our expectations. As a regular visitor to VDL we would certainly recommend this accommodation.

Great villa. Private, enclosed pool area and garden, yet only meters away from all the amenities and a short walk into the market town. Loulé is the perfect base for exploring the Algarve and its amazing coastline without having to endure the hustle and bustle of the bigger coastal towns. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend staying at Villa Lizete. A big thank you to Miguel and Jose for being fantastic hosts.

Thank you for everything Alvaro and Isabelle! We had a lovely two-night stay in Faro. Your apartment is nice, cozy and good location. Thanks to your great tips, we were able to discover good restaurants and things to do in Faro. Looking forward to it!

The house is very well located, close to the marginal and the boats, but in a very quiet place. The house was quite clean and with all the amenities..

We had 4 great days at Casa Nanna. The house/apartment is in a super location. In the middle of the very nice town of Tariva with many cozy restaurants. The apartment looks good, very cozy. Everything you need for a nice stay is present. When you sit at the dining table, you can look through the romantic window/balcony on the "main street". The weather was not really great when we were there so we couldn't sit on the (small) balcony. It did make wonderful use of the wood stove. Reading booklet on the sofa with the wood stove on :) Diagonally in front of the apartment is a (Portuguese) bakery. Where you can get delicious fresh bread - open every day! Within walking distance is the port where the ferry leaves to Tavira Island. For a few euros, you'll be on Tavira Island within fifteen minutes. Really nice to do. Beautifully elongated beach with a number of restaurants. And also sunbeds on the beach. In short, Casa Nanna is highly recommended!!

We had a very nice stay in Altura. The house was spacious and appropriately furnished. For the children, the pool was the highlight. Karine always responded to us very quickly and kindly. After a storm shreds a parasol, there was a replacement right away.

Phil’s place was ideal for what we needed as a family with 2 adults and 2 kids. Quiet and peaceful location, we hired a car and had the best of both worlds. Will most certainly return . Phil was a great host and answered all our questions very promptly .

What an amazing villa. We were blown away. There were 10 adults and two young children in our group and the space was perfect. Loads of room for everyone and ideal communal spaces for meals, relaxing and playing games. Marie Diane and Tim were responsive, helpful and patient. We are already planning to come back!

José and Catiá were very welcoming and available for our stay at 12 in their house, especially to quickly remedy small problems (a problem with opening the door for example). they were also accommodating on our arrival time and we thank them very much. Their accommodation is beautiful, very functional and very very well maintained, it is very pleasant to stay in. The only negative point that does not depend on our hosts is the many construction works in the neighborhood that cause some morning noise disturbances but otherwise everything was great! Thanks!

Really nice place to stay at. Corresponding to description. Quiet place, with beautiful views. The house is well equipped and the hosts are very nice and attentive people to offer good service and answer any needs or questions from guests.

We stayed at Carmen’s house with our grandchildren and there are so many things for them to do. It’s really set up great for families. Everything we needed in the kitchen, town markets are walkable. We had a fantastic time!

This house was perfect for our holiday. It is very clean and well equipped and it is also within walking distance of Tavira town, so we could go out for dinner and have a few drinks without worrying about taxis or Ubers. It is facing the pool, and we enjoyed setting just outside the house on the deckchairs most days. Highly recommended! Thank you very much!

Very good house. Beautiful garden and good bedrooms. The only problem is the fact that the hot water only lasts for 3 persons… and the house fits for 9… it’s difficult for the showers.
