Villa holiday rentals in Costa Occidental

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.

Mildred and Alex's house, and the surrounding grounds, is a real slice of paradise. This is a house that has been very well designed and made to live there. Everything is spotless and better than the pictures. In spring, the view of the flowers, the hills and the starry sky, is very soothing. The house is close to everything. The meeting with Mildred and Alex was a real pleasure. Their daughter Emay, so friendly and efficient, responds to requests and transmits information very quickly. Not to mention the dogs Lilly and Louis who are adorable. To date, this is one of our best Airbnb Experiences! We hope to come back again again soon.

This place was wonderful and quiet with beautiful views from sunset to sunrise you see it all happening. It's a must having a car for local grocery as its about 6min drive to any of the main supermarkets. Beaches are near by as well about 20 to 30min drive depending on the one you want to go to. I would rebook again in the future as my family loved it too.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the house. The beers and wine we're a nice welcome gift.

The view from the villa is spectacular! The villa is very clean and comfortable. It is situated in quiet countryside with many interesting walks from the Villa into the surrounding hills. There are many good local restaurants, it is an easy drive to Loulé and Sao Bras. It is essential to have a car.

Great stay! Thanks again !

We had a great week at Mariana's cottage. Everything matches the description and photos and we enjoyed the products of the area for our welcome! The beds are very good and allowed us to rest well. The weather and the area are amazing, we will be back!

We had a great family vacation at Denise‘s house and enjoyed every minute of it! The views are stunning, the house is very well equipped (especially the kitchen) and clean. Denise is a very kind host and she prepared clear information about everything. I can only recommend Villa por do Sol to enjoy a peaceful time not far from beautiful cities at the Algarve!

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Tamsin's house, perfect position 5 mins walk from everything in a peaceful location. The house is even bigger than it looks on the photos, all the rooms are very spacious, comfy beds, good showers and the pool and garden are beautiful. We loved our stay and would definitely return. Tamsin was very flexible with check in times and departure which was a great help. Thanks

The house is very nice with all the necessary equipment. The kitchen is very well-equipped, the furniture is very comfortable, air conditioning,... The garden is also very nice with several different places to settle in for lunch or dinner depending on the time of day. It is large and very well maintained, and completely enclosed (ideal with children). The pool is beautiful with space around and well equipped (sunbeds, umbrellas,...). The house is very quiet, not overlooked. It is very well located to make it easy to visit the area while remaining quiet. Cleaning was done mid-stay (with towel change). Communication was great with Christiane and Patrick, and the information is clear and accurate. Thank you. We had a great time with the family and I highly recommend this really very nice house.

We stayed for 5 days. The home is perfectly equipped with everything you need for a perfect stay, whether you’re with family or friends, it has it all. The pool is the heart of the house, offering stunning views over the valley. We had asked for pool heating and it was delivered just as promised. When we arrived, the water was already at a pleasant 29–30°C, allowing us to enjoy evening swims comfortably. My children spent most of their time In the basement there, playing either ping pong or darts. The kitchen is very well equipped, with modern appliances, and the coffee machine works great too. The Smart TV is excellent, you can easily log into your favorite streaming accounts. The rooms are spacious, each with its own AC unit. There’s one en-suite bedroom, two more on the upper floor, and two additional bedrooms in the basement. You’ll also find a bathroom on every level, including one on the main floor where the kitchen and living room are located. A big thanks to the hosts.

It was a pleasure to stay and Vivian and Ruben’s place. The house is very spacious and can accommodate large groups perfectly. Vivian and Ruben were there to greet us and let us in and were available throughout the stay for any questions we had no matter how small. Highly recommend staying at their place. Pool was a great plus even for a mid October stay as it can be heated.

We had a wonderful stay at Blue Hill Boutique Villa. The villa had everything we needed for our 10 days stay and the pool was amazing (15m in length). Location is very private and quiet as well as safe. We enjoyed spending time at the villa and had a relaxing few BBQ dinners. Kitchen is well equipped with high quality electric appliances. The villa is well located. 10 mins to Olhao with many nice restaurants and seafood market and 25 mins to Faro. Antonio had been very helpful and responsive to our needs. The only suggestion is if owner can install some curtains/blinds in the bedrooms. There are black-out electric shutters. However, if the shutters are closed, the air-con needs to be switched on. It would be nice to have fresh air during the night whist the bedroom windows / electric shutters are open. Overall, great villa and wonderful stay. Highly recommend!

The stay at this rental was absolutely amazing. Jacky was a gracious host and was there for any need and informed us of the villa very well . As of the villa , the place was pristine and full of the amenities listed . Would love to come back here.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful, spacious villa. The property was just as described, with comfortable beds and plenty of room for everyone. The stunning views and private heated pool were definite highlights! A special thanks to **Silvia and Mickey**, who were outstanding agents—always responsive, helpful, and a pleasure to communicate with. Their support made our stay even more enjoyable. A few minor suggestions for improvement: - The pillows and linens could use refreshing for added comfort. - Additional hand towels would have been useful. - The sofa bed in the studio is better suited for shorter guests. The location was excellent, with a lovely restaurant within walking distance. A car is essential for groceries and exploring the area, but the convenience and scenery made it worthwhile. With just a few small updates, this villa would be absolutely flawless. We’d happily return and highly recommend it to others!

A really fantastic place to stay! We fully enjoyed the nice accommodation including a wonderful infinity pool. I would recommend this villa to everybody searching for a quiet place to enjoy your holidays !

This spacious, often quirky house with annexe is exactly what we needed for our family + dog get-away. It's clear that "Casa Evang" has been in use for quite some time as a family holiday home, so everything is there and provided for, e.g. kitchen utensils and things like coffee capsules, spices, oil, vinegar, mosquito repellents etc. – I personally appreciate it very much when I don't have to spend my first hours on vacation going to the supermarket and looking for the basics! I can't count the many hours we spent outside, be it by the large pool or on the terrace, just relaxing, reading, having barbecues etc. Despite the very convenient location – the town center (with supermarkets, restaurants etc.) is just a 10 min walk away – the property allows for all the privacy you need, with no direct neighbours. Last but not least, the hosts were very friendly and responsive, allowing us an early check-in and changing the gas bottle when we ran out of gas on a Sunday night. Thanks a lot!

We have enjoyed our holiday in the cottage which we liked very much. It was pleasant to stay both inside and out. The cottage has a quiet location but is not too far to easily drive by car to the supermarket or the city of Faro! The cottage was neat and everything we needed was present. The communication with Maria went very smoothly, she is very friendly and responds quickly. We will definitely come back!

We had a great time and were so happy to be able to check in a couple of days early, leaving behind a very poor nightly rental. It was a relief to be with a friendly, responsive host. The place was great with lots of space. Nice pool area....we didn't get to use it because of the weather, but it looked lovely.

Lovely, clean villa with all you need. Lovely large plot down a tight lane. Was right next to the railway line but didnt really notice it anymore than the planes or dogs barking occasionally. We were unlucky in the fact that they did railway maintenance on the track at 3am on 3 nights. We were there while the electric outage happened. The host brought us a torch. Top tip make sure you have cash available. There were plenty of loungers to relax around the pool. Recommend a stay at the villa. Added bonus good wi fi and netflix. Very good communication.

We really enjoyed our stay in this very comfortable house in peaceful surroundings. As well as beach walks, relaxing in the garden, enjoying barbecues, and swimming even though it was early in the season, we took Ubers to visit Tavira and Castro Marim. Hired bikes from Abilio Bikes and had a wonderful ride on quiet lanes around Tavira going past the salt pans and passing through beautiful scenery. We found Manuel's house a lovely place for a relaxing holiday and having quality family time.

This villa is perfect for families with children. There are so many toys and kids books - they’ve thought of everything when it comes to children. The villa and outside space is beautiful. The only down side was that the parasols were not working when we arrived and there is not much shade in the pool area. Smart villas were super responsive and flexible when it came to our arrival and check out times. Location wise you need a car or we used taxis and it’s only a short drive to town (10 minutes).

Great stunning Villa as described and even better- the views are beautiful and the pool was the best. Frederic communication was very quick. You definitely need a car. There is Nice Italian restaurant very close. We definitely recommend.

Great place. The walk to the beach was nothing. The house was perfect - we were two families and had all the space we needed to be together and apart. Proximity to Tavira and Menta Gorda was perfect. Else was super helpful and quick to respond anytime we had a question or an issue. Highly recommend.
