Villa vacation rentals in Alvor

Many thanks to Lisa & David for yet again another fantastic stay at our favourite villa, Casa Valhalla. If your looking for a holiday destination that ticks all the boxes for all the family young & old well this is the place for you. The villa is amazing and so clean and has everything you could possibly need during your stay. Lisa & David are the perfect hosts and are most helpful if you need them. We are already planning our next visit.

We had an amazing 10 nights in the villa. The outside area was great for dining, sunbathing or just relaxing reading a book. Then the shaded area was great if you needed to get out of the sun. The swimming pool was really clean and well maintained throughout the holiday. As it was August it was lovely and warm. All bedrooms were a great size and it was lovely that each room had it's own bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need and with Lidl only a 10 min walk away it was great for food shopping. Tirimisu Bar was great for food and drink and very reasonable. We also ate at a lovely Italian restaurant at the golf village which was only a few minutes drive away. Ubers were very easy to get. We had a late flight back so thankfully we were able to leave our cases in the villa until it was time to great. Overall a fantastic holiday in a great villa.

Absolutely a beautiful villa in a peaceful setting. There is a large supermarket nearby and the old town Albuferia and beaches are only a 8 to10 minute drive away. The villa has all the amenities you need and is well maintained. The grounds and pool area are large with plenty of places to sit in the sun or shade. Large patio table and chairs. Large brick charcoal bbq setup. Nice loungers and umbrellas for shade at the pool which was great and came in very handy. Very spacious bedrooms with massive wardrobes each with their own large en-suite bathrooms. Kitchen was extremely well equipped with a great supply of everything we needed. The laundry room has a washing machine, and each bedroom has air conditioning. We felt very safe at the property as there were locks and shutters for the doors and a locked gate to exit and enter. Would definitely return for another holiday. Excellent communication. Thank you Ricardo and Elizabete.

We spent a relaxing family holiday at Elaine’s lovely Villa Matilde. As described and Elaine was a very helpful and responsive host. Thank you.

We loved our stay at Jinny’s place; gorgeous, spacious house with all amenities. The nearby beach and villages are amazing as well. We would definitely recommend this place!

The stay with the family was great, and the Villa very well equipped and maintained we enjoyed it very much Gautam was always responsive and flexible for our requests We will definitely recommend it to our friends

We really loved the Villa and appreciated how responsive Anthony was with things. He also reached out ahead of time to coordinate, which was helpful! The area is beautiful and there’s lots to do. There was a big kitchen, lots of amenities, a nice pool, and lots of rooms to accommodate everyone that was with us. Loved that there were two refrigerators for our groceries I do want to note that the full sized beds were comfortable but the twin sized beds were incredibly hard (and there are several). Some guests opted for a couch instead to make their sleep more comfortable. We made it work, but if you are a sensitive sleeper used to a less firm mattress, I’d consider that when booking this place. Otherwise, this place was good for what we needed for our trip. And Anthony was an excellent host! Would recommend!

Extraordinary stay in a beautiful spot. The view is unmatched. The house is perfectly equipped and the pool and spa are lovely. Wilson went above and beyond to care for us before, during, and after the stay. A kind and thoughtful host!!

We had a fantastic stay at this villa, set in a beautiful and peaceful location. It’s spacious, clean and ideal for families. Our children had a wonderful time, and we felt completely relaxed . Highly recommend!

What a villa!! We stayed here the week build up to our wedding and it was just perfect in every way. The location, the space, the villa itself was so modern and clean, the pool and outdoor area was amazing. It was even more gorgeous in person! Daniel the owner and the team couldn’t have done enough for us. I couldn’t recommend it anymore! Thank you for making our stay extra special. We will be back xx

Fantastic villa, even better than the photos, seemed much bigger which is very unusual. Gavin and estelle were very helpful with check in and also very understanding when our muppet teenagers broke a lamp and also locked us out. To have such a peaceful villa so close to the beach is amazing and really made our stay. We have been in the area many times before but this has been our favorite place.

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!

We were a group of 10 people and had a wonderful time at Sam's villa The facilities were perfect, everything was clean and looked like the pictures. Sam was a perfect hostess who was always helpful and available. The villa is in a quiet area, but you are within 10-15 minutes by car to the lively places. We would definitely come back again!

we all really enjoyed our stay at villa - the facilities were great and the cleaner coming in everyday was a bonus for a large group. it was January when we stayed so we couldn't make use of the pool but the hot tub was good. we did. need a car or taxi to get to the old town and restaurants. I suspect more would be open near the villa in season . the owners and manager were very responsive and helpful during our stay .

Lovely place. I didn’t realise it was split into two separate flats but that meant extra facilities as there are 2 kitchens and more privacy. Lots of space for 10 of us, lovely to have en suites or bathrooms for every bedroom. The pool is really fantastic and the outdoor kitchen area was great for bbqs and pizza. Hot tub is great. Jane the concierge was really helpful when 2 of the guests’ suitcases were lost in transit, she helped by calling the luggage company and to rearrange delivery. Really easy stroll to town with lots of restaurants and a few shops. Wonderful holiday, thank you!

A fabulous villa, new and stylishly fitted out. Lots of space throughout. We loved the pool and gardens. There are even orange trees on the plot, and a roof terrace to watch the sunset on. The location was really convenient for access to Lagoa and Portimao, and all the main towns of the algarve. The team were really responsive and helpful with all our questions and requests. It made our last minute booking really easy and unstressful. We hope to return again!

We had a lovely stay at Casa Alva and found David to be a really helpful, honest, thoughtful host. The villa has a v peaceful location with beautiful sea views, especially from the living area (on the first floor) and its large wraparound balcony. The pool is a very good size, with a proper deep end, so great for families with bigger kids - and heated! We asked David if he would heat it for us earlier in the season than usual (we stayed in early April) and he kindly agreed, which made a huge difference to our stay - thanks, David! The outside kitchen with charcoal BBQ, sink and fridge overlooking the pool is really great. Be aware it's an approx 25 minute walk into town/the beach (15 mins to Baptista/Spar supermarkets) - all downhill in, all uphill going back! We didn't hire a car, and found this walkable (you can also walk to Espiche) tho Bolt taxis and local buses are also easily available. We didn't have small kids with us tho - ours are tweenagers. All in all - recommended!

We had a great stay! The house and host were everything that was outlined in the listing; our host was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The location while beautiful does limit the walkable amenities ; we were fortunate through the initial help of our host to be able to utilize the taxi service regularly and we also used them as a day tour service for specific outings! I would recommend Guilherme and this property.

Absolutely amazing stay, Viktoria was so helpful, the actual villa is gorgeous, and so close to the old town! Couldn’t recommend it more

We were a group of 6 with 4 adults and kids age of 4 and 10 and stayed for 10 nights. We came in late and were able to self check in. The host had arranged us some small snacks, drinks and some breakfast which was great. Everything in the trip went well and we had no real issues in the villa. The kids loved the pool which was a good place to relax and cool during hotter hours. The place is located on a quite high hill which offers a nice view to the sea and the vity but makes walking down (and especially back up) to marina or old town a bit more difficult for the older people. But occasionally we used an app for rides which take 5mins to arrive and cost only average of 5euros. The location is quiet and peaceful! Using the showers at the same time at least in the 2nd floor had some issues with warm water and pressure but it wasn't a big deal. All in all can recommend.

Had a great week long break, the Air BnB was perfect and the pool is much bigger in person then in the photos.

Claire was simply a superb host. The house was absolutely clean, the communication was perfect, even her recommendations based on our interests were exactly on point. Whenever there was a question Claire answered almost instantly. I can only recommend this beautiful house to anyone who does not want to stay directly in the center, but it is only a 5 minute drive. One minor thing for the interested, there is no coffee machine, but the supermarket a few metres away does have a coffee machine with actually fine tasting coffee. Thank you very much Claire, hope to see you again someday!

Thanks for the excellent stay! The house was spacious and comfortable. The pool was perfect in size for our 3x kids. There were plenty of amenities on site, beach was close (not quite walking distance in the heat), and parking / driving was super easy. There is a supermarket (Pingo Doce) within 5 mins drive. Thoroughly recommend it!

The villa was incredibly well presented and had plenty of utensils for cooking if you wanted to! The pool table was a bit with our kids. Paulo was very responsive when I had any questions. Overall a wonderful stay and plenty of space for us all.
