Villa holiday rentals in Barão de São João

This was a fabulous townhouse, well decorated and set up very nicely. Great location right in the heart of Old Town and we were able to walk to most places. Yes, the streets are a little noisy at night but that was addressed in the description and expected; We had no problem with this. Being early May the weather was a just a little too cold for the beach so we were very happy with the addition of the hot tub. A lovely stay in Old town!

We have stayed last year and everything was great then . My feedback last year was that the beach towels were small however they have acted on the feedback and plenty of large beach towels are supplied . Clean and private spacious villa in a lovely setting . Walk to Porto de mos beach but be aware that Antonio’s restaurant is shut on Mondays .

Kingdomar’s place was perfect. Our family of 4 stayed stayed with another family of 3 and we had plenty of space. The location couldn’t be better, right next to the beach and restaurants. The house was very clean and stocked with all the essentials. We would highly recommended the place.

What a stunning view! Izabel’s and Taylor‘s villa was an amazing property with everything you could ask for including yoga mats and a fully equipped kitchen. The stunning terrace offers fantastic views of the sunset over the Atlantic ocean. Izabel and Taylor were awesome hosts who welcomed us warmly in person. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home and even offered a large welcome basket with lots of local treats.

Really enjoyed our stay in Lagos. Walkable to the lighthouse and several incredible beaches as well as town. Ubers are also very cheap. We also walked to Cascades Weklness for spa one day! All around fantastic.

We had such a wonderful week at Villa Ocean Dreams! Giuliana’s home was even more beautiful and spacious than the photos! The location was fantastic with the beach so close and the boardwalk to walk into the marina or town right across the street. The pool and hot tub made our week even better. We spent much of our time in the comfortable gathering areas by the pool, under the shade and awnings upstairs and downstairs, or playing games in the evening at the dining table. All of the beds were very comfortable and the air conditioning was perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals for our group of five and was so well stocked with cooking utensils and appliances. Giuliana was so helpful and welcoming, making us feel right at home.

We had the most amazing time, so much to see and do around Monchique. The pool and home was so clean and well designed, it had everything we needed for our stay. Thank you James for all your help in making our stay extra special. Will be back again soon!

Thank you very much for a wonderful place to stay. We loved the house and area; plenty of space, peace and beautiful countryside. We’d love to come back one day!

The place to stay was really nice and the location was perfect. Unfortunately, it got quite windy by the pool in the afternoon. The people working there explained everything to us in really good English and they were very polite. I would definitely recommend it.

A really lovely villa, photos don’t really do it justice. It’s very spacious and there was plenty of room for our group, 6 adults and 3 young children. The pool and play area were very popular. Lisa and David were great hosts. They provided everything we needed and more and were very good with communication and info. Some lovely personal touches for our stay left in the villa too which were much appreciated. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this villa and hope to return again sometime.

Casa Mu is a beautiful home with zen like qualities and an expansive view. We were staying at the house during the black out. Matthijs reached out to us while the cell towers were still live and came by to open the gates manually so we could get back to the house. Yannick stopped by later in the day to give us updates. The home has a Big Green egg and we had bought charcoal the day we arrived so we were able to cook dinner. Thankfully power was down for only a short time. Casa Mu has one of the best equipped kitchens I’ve ever seen in a rental. We bought oranges and limes from a roadside stand and made fresh juice using the electric juicer. Beds are super comfortable and bathrooms well equipped. I would suggest bringing bar soap for the shower. There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room to hang out both inside and outside the house. The pool is not heated, but I did go in. A bit bracing, but not too cold. For food shopping, go to Apolonia in Lagoa. Great store that has all you need

Had a wonderful 8 days at the villa. Cristina has been a wonderful host, helping us with any queries re the villa and surrounding area. The villa is fabulous, with amazing views of the beach and sea, peaceful surroundings and a beautiful pool area. It’s a 40min walk into Lagos harbour area, approx. And a 10min car drive. All the rooms were clean and minimalist which was perfect. It would have been nice to have had a shower holder/mount in our room (double that looks over the pool) as we had to use the showers in our friends rooms. The kitchen was fab and filled with all the utensils and equipment we needed. Living areas and balconies were comfortable and relaxing. Loved the neutral decor throughout. Would be more than happy to come back for a future stay. Thank you! ☺️

If you're looking for a place to stay near Praia da Arrifana, book Lyn's beautiful home - you won't regret it! We were there during a major storm, and even with poor weather we had an absolutely wonderful time. The house is very spacious and comfortably decorated, with an extremely well-equipped kitchen for cooking (a huge plus for us). The house is walking distance from the beach and the Rota Vicentina hiking trails, and there's a good supermarket just a few minutes away by car. Lyn and Mariana were very easy to communicate with and helpful...we'd love to go back some time!

amazing villa. had such a great 5 days here. villa is stunning and hosts were excellent. swimming pool was a lovely temperature and villa was exactly as described. we would love to stay there again! only slight negative was it was very hot and although there was no air conditioning.(which we were aware of) the fans in the bedrooms could be a bit better!

Possibly the best Airbnb I ever stayed at. Great layout with outdoor kitchen pool and an amazing view. Very clean and very friendly and proactive hosts. Thank you!

Returning to this luxury property feels like coming home. The hosts and Laura, go above and beyond to ensure each stay surpasses the last. Their attention to detail, proactive communication, and warm hospitality make every visit exceptional. I'm grateful for the consistency and quality of care they provide and look forward to many more stays. Highly recommended for those seeking a truly attentive and luxurious experience. Thanks again for another perfect visit!

Beautiful house and surroundings. We arrived late at night, by car from Faro airport, approx 1 hour drive. Found it easily and checking in to the property was straightforward. Very spacious for our family of four with teenagers, plenty of inside and outside areas to be together or to find your own space. Very clean and modern, with lovely garden and terraces. The property is quite high with beautiful views, not overlooked. It is very cleverly designed so that you can sit in the sun or shade and if breezy you can still find sheltered spots. Kitchen very well equipped, and we used the BBQ. Pool is lovely and was heated by arrangement. Pool has steps at one end then gets deep quite quickly so may not suit small children, but perfect for us. Plenty of beach choices, supermarket, fuel and restaurants just a short drive. You do need a car. The house is on a golf course with other similar properties nearby but it was very quiet with lots of space and felt very private. We loved it!

We had a fantastic stay at Susana’s place. The accommodation was beautiful and spotlessly clean (very happy to let my little one crawl around on the floors it was so clean!). Much bigger than the photos. Pool area was very peaceful. Lots of amenities without being cluttered. Well stocked kitchen and generous welcome pack. Restaurants and beautiful beaches within walking distance. Great communication and very helpful host. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

From first booking we had excellent communication with the owners. We decided to get the pool heated and use there transfer service. The pool was a good temperature on arrival and the transfer was excellent service. We were greeted at the villa by Pavel (Villa manager), he was very friendly, he showed us the working of the villa and what the area had to offer locally. We did have an issue with the A/C, we made contact with Pavel and the issue was sorted within a few hours (great service). Everything that was advertised on the listing page described the villa exactly. I would highly recommend staying here and we look forward to a return holiday at the villa.

We booked Filips place quite last minute but he was very responsive and helpful so everything went well finding the house. Upon arrival he greeted us, showed us around and kept being very responsive during our stay. We enjoyed the beautiful house and it's quiet location very much and would happily book the house again should we decide to travel to Algarve again.

We had a really nice time at this Airbnb. The place was just as advertised—clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The beach was stunning and only a short walk away, which was perfect. The heated pool was a nice bonus, especially with a 6-year-old, and the whole property was well-kept. The area was quiet and peaceful, just what we were looking for. The host was responsive and helpful whenever we had questions. Everything went smoothly, and we’d happily stay here again. A solid choice for a relaxing getaway! A few tips, the best food in Lagos is Tasca do Kiko, also there is a cafe called Everyday People cafe, perfect for breakfast.

Gavin and Estelle were excellent hosts, Estelle was on site for the luggage drop off and both communicated very well and responded very quickly. With two grandchildren travelling with us, all our needs were met without any fuss. Would definitely recommend Gavin and Estelle and the Villa Aurora, would definitely stay there again. Thank you so much.

Beautiful house in a good location. Slightly disappointed that the fireplace was not operational. The house was also short on basics : eg: tea & sugar supplied, but no salt & pepper No soap in any bathrooms. Hopefully the supplies we left are there for the next occupants. Otherwise it was fairly good & the host was always responsive.

We had a wonderful stay! What impressed us most was the spectacular view, the generous architecture and spacious layout of the house – everything is beautifully designed and thoughtfully arranged. We felt completely at ease and truly enjoyed every moment. We would love to come back – thank you for everything!
