Beachfront holiday rental in Olhão

We stayed at a number of very nice Airbnb‘s during our trip to Europe. The hosts were great. But none were as attentive and considerate as Valentina and Antonio. As a result of our own GPS, it took us a little bit to find the apartment, and Antonio came and met us in person to ensure we got in. During our stay, the amenities were wonderful and exactly as described in the listing. Any questions we had on usage of appliances were quickly answered. Partway through our stay Valentine asked if we wanted a linen change and we were provided not only with clean linens, but they were changed and set out for us. We were in Portugal for 12 hours of the power outage (the day before our flight home) António had attempted to provide us with a flashlight and candles and even bread and tomatoes as stores were closed but we were not home. They even offered to bring it for breakfast in the morning, even though power had been restored throughout the night. A truly wonderful host and apartment!

A wonderful stay right on the beach. Playground across the street for our granddaughter. Offers everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Great restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommend.

This was an extension of the booking made in March 2025, loved place so Liliana graciously extended our booking

Lovely apartment with sea view, had everything we needed and perfect location for the beach and close to town for dinner and drinks in evening.

The townhouse was modern, clean, well equipped and in a great location. Beds were very comfortable. Views from the rooftop deck were stunning and beach was an easy walk. If you love to walk and have no mobility issues, this is the perfect place to be in Albufeira! Host was always accessible and responded quickly.

Great location, quaint and clean. Only stayed one night, wish we could have stayed longer. Perfect suite for our stay. Recommend for future travellers.

Stayed here with my mate for a couple days. Really good location if you are planning to spend a lot of time in new town. Also a stones throw away from the beach. Plenty of food options near by in all directions. The places has all amenities you can think of and a TV with Netflix already loaded up. Comfortable beds and a nice balcony.

Our stay was extraordinary. We enjoyed Paula’s accommodations for 3 weeks and would highly recommend.

We absolutely loved staying at this place, and could have happily stayed permanently haha. The first evening we watched a beautiful sunset with a homecooked meal (Lidl in Tavira) and the following morning all walked down to the nature reserve past the animals that our 3 year old loved, and watched the sun coming up with a coffee and it was pure heaven. Very family/child friendly, lots to do and the pool was quiet and great fun! The sun still there late October to top up the tan. More than enough to do in the surrounding areas, we were just happy to sit around the pool and relax. Despite the neighbours nearby, it feels 100% private and secure. The pool is communal but wasn't too busy. Rosa is lovely and always there to help. The internet isn't super strong, but you can get a signal booster from Rosa if you need it for anything. My phone had 4G/5G so I was fine. Everything you need. A bit dated but its fitting with the villa and the area. Would 100% stay again!

Rui was a great host. Always responded quickly to our questions and was very helpful. The place was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It was quiet but walkable to where all the action was. Very clean pool area and patio as well.

We (a group of 12 girls), had an absolutely wonderful experience staying at Isabel's Air B&B. It was a beautiful villa with a large pool and terrace. The inside was clean and spacious with enough room for 12 of us! The location was great, situated on a quiet road, 5 minutes walk away from a beautiful beach, and 10 minutes walk from the new town. The old town was only a short 10 minute uber ride away. Isabel was a great host and was very communicative and responsive to any queries we had during our stay. Overall, we would highly recommend staying at Isabel's villa, the location, pool and value for money made for a great stay!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful, from the bottle of wine and pasteis de nata when we arrived to the spacious and spotlessly clean rooms. The kitchen was large and well-stocked, and everything from the air conditioning to the hot tub (with stunning ocean views) worked smoothly. Restaurants and an Aldi are walkable or just a short drive away. We could not have asked for a better base for a relaxing stay in the Algarve!

Great apartment and facilities with excelent access to the beach. The exterior and interior swimming pools were really nice, always clean and chairs available. Our host, David, was always very available and responsive to ensure our staying would be the best. We loved it and will be back.

Lovely and peaceful stay and a perfect location to explore the amazing area in and around Tavira, a truly underrated part of the Algarve. The house is perfect for a small family. Very chilled, off the beaten path. Great stay and super easy!

Very nice stay in a beautiful apartment, Alex sent us all the activities nearby, everything matches the description.

An outstanding oceanview condo. Modern and charming with beautiful decor. We felt right at home. The hosts were always responsive to our needs. Highly recommend it!

This is the most beautiful house, in one of the few remaining unspoilt parts of the Algarve coast. It is very well-equipped and there are lovely walks, both in the countryside behind and along the cliffs. A very pretty, and not very populated, beach is a five-minute walk and a slight scramble down a cliff path away. Cecilia is incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Group of us stayed in 2 of Andre’s properties and it was perfect for what we were looking for. Great location close to beach and strip for bars and restaurants. Access to complex pool as well which was great. Both Andre and Nadine were really easy to communicate with and were very helpful.

Mario’s place was exactly as described in the pictures, a slightly quirky apartment in an older building with a fantastic balcony… aka my new favourite place. It’s a perfect location, steps from the beach. We enjoyed our time there very much. Thanks Mario for being a super host.

Incredibly beautiful location by the sea. Falling asleep at night with the roaring of the sea in the background 🥰 Also a lot of beautiful beaches to discover in the area so renting a car is highly recommended! Car can be parked for free in the area of the beach house. We had a great time!

We really enjoyed our stay, thanks! Hope to see you again soon!

Simply amazing, beautiful apartment. Exactly as the photos, fixtures and fittings are of the highest standard and all correspondence with the host was timely, professional and delivered with a friendly, helpful approach. This is the best airbnb we have ever stayed in!! Would give it 10 stars…if this was possible. Thank you

Great communication from Taci and her recommendations for food and attractions. There was early check in offered for the day before our arrival as well. Very good standard of accommodation and service.

Marina's place in Albufeira was amazing - just as listed! In a quiet, walkable neighborhood directly above the city restaurants. Easy access to everything in town and yet so quiet! This place was perfect for our family of 4 and my two daughters enjoyed having their own bed but staying in the same room together. Marina's communication was great - great instructions in accessing the place, and guidance around the unit. Not being too familiar with induction stovetops, I contacted Marina for some help and she was immediately responsive. The kitchen had everything we needed and the addition of a Washer AND Dryer was much needed for those beach days - of which we had several! Upper floors are nice and had amazing views of the surrounding area, I can understand why Albufeira is so popular. Our family made use of the provided beach toys as well as beach umbrella and beach towels, all very nice. Make sure to try the Tres Coroas restaurant just steps away!
