Holiday houses in São Bartolomeu de Messines

We had a great stay at Julian & Franzi's house! The area was very peaceful & relaxing, just what we needed. We especially liked picking oranges on the property, grilling & eating outside, enjoying the fireplace, comfortable beds/sofa & yoga on the terrace. We loved the beautiful scenery & home - you can tell Julian & Franzi have put a lot of love into the Quinta & it feels really homey. The communication with the hosts was easy & they had a lot of helpful tips for the house & the area. We loved the pizza place in a nearby spot they recommended (it even had gluten free pizza that was delicious!). Visiting nearby places was always worth the drive, the area is so pretty. One highlight we had was the massage with Ricardo - he came to the home & he is a great masseur. We already want to come back to use the outdoor cinema & little pool they were setting up. Overall we can highly recommend this place for a very peaceful, relaxing stay or to work (great internet). Can't wait to come back!

We hadden een super verblijf in casa da tia. Alte is een charmant en rustig dorpje en het huisje zit daar midden in. Vlakbij de rivier waar je kan gaan zwemmen en ook vlakbij enkele bars. Het huisje zelf had alles wat je nodig hebt en was kraaknet. Aanrader!

If you are looking for peace and beautiful nature the "little house" is for you. Picking oranges from the trees in the morning was just magical! The sound of the bees humming in the trees, the little geckos and sitting on the veranda with a glass of wine was bliss. The total privacy, the stars at night and the hammock made for a perfect holiday. Perfect little cabin, super clean, comfy bed and enough kitchen equipment to make meals was just perfect. Great full sized fridge and freezer. I loved the little outside kitchen and bathroom. Jacqueline and Rudd were super friendly, flexible with check in/out. Beautiful Silves is a short drive away as are the beaches of the Algarve. It would be a good idea to print out instructions to the "little house" before you arrive as there is totally no signal en route to it. Stop off at the snack bar on the way for some great piri piri chicken! Also pack a freezer bag to buy frozen goods etc from the nearby supermarkets.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Ahua Portugal, where our host Anne guided us with thoughtful local tips and quick responses. Nestled on a peaceful hillside above Seixe Valley, the modern house had every comfort we needed and felt like the perfect retreat. We were deeply inspired by Anne’s dedication to the land. She has led a reforestation project across her 18-hectare estate, planting over 30,000 cork trees to restore the forest after wildfires. Tip: Do plan to bring a reliable car. The unpaved access roads are best navigated with a vehicle that has good clearance. If you’re seeking a serene, private getaway with a caring, responsive host deeply connected to her land, Ahua Portugal is an exceptional choice! Five stars all the way, and thank you, Anne!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour chez Renata Violetta ! Le logement était chaleureux, impeccable, et très calme. La communication avec Renata Violetta était claire, amicale et rapide. Nous avions réservé au dernier moment pour un souci de logement et nous avons quand même été très bien accueillis ! Nous recommandons vivement ce logement ! Merci :)

Adelino is a superb host and his villa is amazing. Extremely responsive and was able to answer any questions right away. Very spacious, clean, private and comfortable. The smell of fresh rosemary every morning in the beautiful garden was an added bonus. Close drive to grocery and restaurants. Coast line and Albufeira just 30 mins drive as well. Would highly recommend.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful property! The place was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully decorated—every detail of the interior felt warm, stylish, and welcoming. The garden was a true highlight: lush, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. I especially loved the sunbathing area, which made it easy to unwind and soak up some sunshine. Our host was exceptional—friendly, responsive, and clearly dedicated to making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. It truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a relaxing and beautiful getaway!

Raquel is one of the most communicative and responsive hosts I’ve ever interacted with on Airbnb. The location of this home is unbelievable. I fell in love with Albufeira from the first few hours i was there, and couldn’t believe how well-situated this place was to all the fun the area has to offer. ACs and most amenities worked well. I’m not sure if it’s a design related to homes in that area, but the open bathroom in the master bedroom, including the shower design, seemed impractical. I needed to rearrange items in that area, and wipe the floor/toilet after every shower. The iron was unusable due to a stain on the ironing surface, and risk of damaging clothes. The washing machine was small and not very effective. We needed to do a lot of loads to clean our clothes, then air dry them, but glad we had a washer! Overall, this is a great place, Raquel’s a great host, and i recommend booking, for anyone visiting Albufeira. Great for 2 ppl, but could accommodate a couple more too. Enjoy!
