Cottage holiday rentals in São Brás de Alportel

An exceptional secluded paradise. We stayed there for a week to visit the Algarve and were there as a couple and with our dogseta who was delighted. Silvia provided us with instructions to get to the house properly (not following the gps). The place is very quiet, secluded and is reached by a flattened dirt trail between vineyards. The house is wooden and very big and spacious. It has a large enclosed deck ideal for being read there or playing board games. The house is well finished and secluded and has screens on all windows. The kitchen is very well equipped with all the utensils and some basic ingredients. The garden is wide with a very clean pool, of which Silvia takes care of daily without disturbing. Silvia has made it easy for us any needs and we are very happy about it; we repeat the stay without a doubt.

Beautiful house! Very clean and stylishly decorated! We had an great week and felt very comfortable. The house is located just outside Silves surrounded by nature. We will be happy to come back!

If you want to have your own estate with a pool, jacuzzi and a very nice mini house with everything you need 20 minutes from a beautiful beach and 7 minutes from Loule, this is your place. Stefano is a super attentive host, super friendly and totally concerned about our privacy. He helped us with a problem we had with the car, brought us to the village and left us tools. I highly recommend this site.

Michaela’s property is truly outstanding we have never stayed anywhere so beautiful. Pool was heated to perfection(at an extra cost). The whole experience was great, we had an issue with the jacuzzi which we were paying extra for thus was dealt with as soon as we raised it and in a very professional way. Ana the hosts representative was a delightful lady and very responsive. We had simply the best family holiday in a beautiful villa, in a beautiful county. We are already planning our next stay in Michaela’s beautiful home.

Everything was wonderful, the estate is great with its views, orange, everything, the little house had everything and they brought us to a great barbecue, Ana and her mother were wonderful, we really liked it, and the dog of the estate was great, and the dog of the estate was coming to visit us every afternoon, just to thank them for everything, we hope to return soon

What a beautiful discovery! Small authentic perfectly equipped house carefully decorated and nestled in a lemon field. A little corner of paradise within a 5-minute drive from the sea. A big thank you to Pilar for hosting us and for his kindness.

Beautiful house with a fantastic sea view. Laura’s house is ideal for a family stay. Very clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend to others.

Judite's place was very charming and had an amazing view. It was very peaceful and had everthing you needed. We didnt rent a car but used Uber, taxis and the local bus to get to neighbouring towns and even a day trip to the little fishing town Alvor. Judite responded quickly to all our queries before and during our trip. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend Lavender cottage.

Antonio's place was a real delight. It's much larger than it looks in the photos, and it was super-clean and very well equipped. We went as a group of four - my wife and I and our two adult sons - and there was enough space for us to not get in each other's way! Pedras del Rei is a beautiful spot, and Antonio's place is perfectly situated in a quiet spot that is only a minute's walk from the pool, restaurants and access to the beach. Genuinely, there were no downsides to our stay, everything was great.

the place was great. you have everything you need for a holiday. good parking, nice and quiet surroundings.

Wow! I am sat here back at work wondering why i hadn't stayed for longer than a weekend!? The perfect few days, surrounded by animals, dogs, cats, pigs and horses, stunning views and the loveliest family and new friends! My friend and I booked this stay purposely for the horse riding and we really had the best time, we rode every day we were there and made some solid core memories. The horses are all so well looked after and the riding through the valley is stunning. Thankyou so so much Zoe, Martin and family for welcoming us in to your beautiful home and making us feel so welcome. I am already trying to figure out when i can come back :) Few things to note - I would say you need a car as there isn't anything within walking distance, the property doesn't lock but you are staying within the family's home so everything is super safe. If you dont like animals this isn't the place for you, there is a massive pool, a beautiful view and it really is just the perfect place to recharge.

Very nice and clean apartment with two balconies. The pool is clean and spacious, the sunbeds and umbrellas invite you to relax and chill. There's even a toilet cottage. The apartment is just a second jump away, so you can always get drinks or tasting from the kitchen and fridge. The location is very quiet and the combination ideal for relaxing for families with and without children. By the pool and on the landlord's property it is nice and green and flowery. Benafim is located in the hinterland, but for vacationers with rental cars, the trips are a pleasant change from the various excursion destinations in the Algarve. For us who are also happy to explore in Tenerife by car, comparably well located. The hustle and bustle in Albufeira can be experienced in 30 minutes. All in all a nice place with good value for money. We are very satisfied and will be back.

We throughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful little cottage which was ideal for the four of us. We had a wonderful welcome pack, the best we have ever received in a holiday rental. The cottage was very clean, the beds cozy and comfortable, kitchen well equipped and bathrooms spotless. Anna was very warm and welcoming and gave us some great restaurant recommendations. The area is very pretty and peaceful and centrally located for sightseeing. The outside space, garden and pool area were lovely and we particularly enjoyed the roof terrace when the sun left the terrace in the late afternoon. Brian was a very welcoming host and we enjoyed meeting him and his family who were staying in the farmhouse which is attached to the cottage. The cottage is very quiet and private but it is important to rent a small car as the entrance to the cottage is quite narrow. We would thoroughly recommended the property and hope to return again.

Pure tranquility and nature, ideal with a dog. Susanna was always easily accessible, accommodating and friendly. Upon arrival, a nice welcome, homemade soap and a bottle of wine awaited us. The place itself is a dream! We will be happy to come back!

Thank you for an incredible stay! We rented a car in Faro and could very easily get around to beaches, restaurants and attractions. We really appreciated staying in this little village without all the tourism. Incredibly nice house in an incredibly charming village with walking distance to local restaurants, small shop with necessities, etc. By car, the nearest large grocery store is about 5-7 minutes away, which was very convenient! The house has everything you could possibly need for a shorter or longer stay. If I come here again, I will 100% book the same accommodation.

Mickael, was there to greet us when first arrived, and showed us around the unit. There was a nice welcome package of wine, beer & snacks. The accommodation was very clean and well appointed. Was great to have the washing machine available within the unit, and outside drying facilities. Bathroom had a good size walk in shower and was very clean. There were rural noises, which is pretty normal for this area of the Algarve, dogs & cockerels, which we soon learned to tune out during our stay. We had a hire car to get around the area and recommend to anyone else staying here to do the same. The unit was a nice size for two adults for 3 weeks, it could sleep 4, however, this would have been cramped.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the villa, which corresponded to the description and thanks to the GPS coordinates we also found it quickly and easily. The very nice and quiet location is fantastic, we had spent many sunny days by the pool and by the sea, exploring the magnificent Algarve on inconsistent days. A very sweet couple took care of the cleaning, bed linen and towels once a week, a perfect service, thank you again. We would love to come again and miss everything again now.

The vacation home is located in a quiet oasis in the middle of an almond forest (I hope I recognized it). The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need. There are also things like coffee capsules, detergent, salt & oil so that you have everything you need for the first few days. Communication was smooth, friendly and fast. We felt very comfortable there and I would always like to come again.

Beautiful accommodation, incredibly peaceful, comfortable and quiet. The pool and the pool house was fantastic and like most, we enjoyed spending most of our time there. The orange trees was amazing, we did try one and it was hands down the best orange we've had. Anything you need is there/nearby, with supermarkets not too far away down the road for anything you need. Mel's communication was fantastic and extremely helpful and all round super lovely. Not often we enjoy a few days totally unwinding but it was much appreciated after being in Lisbon and we would love to come back. Thank you Mel!

Had a lovely stay in Marta’s beautiful apartment! Was very clean and had everything I needed. Loved the private terrace, perfect to sit outside and enjoy my morning coffee. Thanks Marta!

Perfect host! Very helpful and gave me clear instructions. The place was very clean and very peaceful

Charming apartment in perfect location. Ondina and her family are the nicest people, we felt very welcome. Everything is provided, even child and baby equipment. The place was very clean and parking is safe. The location is 3 mins by car from shops and restaurants and 10-15 mins to several beautiful beaches . One of the bests stays we ever had .
