Beachfront vacation rentals in São Brás de Alportel

An absolutely fabulous place to stay! Beautiful location and outstanding views over the ocean. But the most fantastic part about the house other than a beautiful home to stay in, was how generous and kind our hosts were in taking care of us on this trip. Elsa waited up for us to check us even though our plane arrived extremely late and our drive in was long.Very kind and friendly and helpful! Will definitely go back!

Another great stay in this perfect apartment overlooking the beach.

We enjoyed our time here with a very modern and well equipped, comfortable apartment in a great area of the old town close to beach, restaurants and bars. Our host was very responsive to our queries. We would definitely consider a return visit. Thank you Thiago.

Jorge’s place was really a home away from home especially with our three little girls (5, 4, 1.5 years old). Our girls loved the two bunkbeds. It was spacious, super clean & the kitchen was fully equipped with everything you’d need to cook meals but also walkable to many beaches and restaurants; however one of our favourites was the restaurant just below the building! We loved the beach behind the building as well which was only a few minutes walk. We didn’t end up using the pools in the facility but everything looked great! Jorge himself was very responsive, professional and definitely a superhost helping us check-in as we booked this Airbnb very last minutes and got there later in the evening. The shampoo and conditioner in the showers were nicer than the ones I have at home. I highly recommend this place and we would definitely stay here again when we come back to Portugal in the future. Thank you Jorge for sharing your home with us.

Book here, you will not regret it! Skip the nearby resort, get a bottle of wine from the nearby supermarket, and enjoy the wonderful view on the roof in the quaint neighborhood with a spectacular view. The host was amazing and super helpful. I would definitely recommend this place—we had a wonderful time. Great for families!

The apartment was perfect. It was very clean and exactly as the photos showed. Gard was very quick to respond when we had any questions. Rosi was also available for us and ensured our stay was very comfortable. Overall great place, beautiful views, so many restaurants within walking distance. We will definitely return.

I was extremely happy with my accommodation choice which was exactly as described by the host and therefore perfectly suited my needs . I had never been to Fuseta before and was pleasantly impressed . The daily fresh market on the doorstep of the accommodation was a treat. My request for a late check out was kindly accepted. Overall an excellent experience.

Very convenient location. Ocean 3 minutes away so you can go and watch the sunset every night. The main promenade with various restaurants is also right next door. The apartment is impeccably clean, equipped. There is everything you need for cooking, neat design, there is an air conditioner. Everything is wonderful. Thank you.

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.

My family and I enjoyed 6 nights at Liz and Gianny's townhome in Carvoeiro. The accomodations were exactly as described and it was exceptionally clean and well appointed. The home is a close distance to excellent restaurants, beautiful beaches and local walks/hikes. We were very pleased to have met the hosts in-person at the start of our stay and they were very kind and welcoming. I highly recommend this accomodation and we would not hesitate to stay there again. Thanks for your hospitality!

What a magical few days we had! The apartment is really lovely, as is the roof top view. All the stuff you need is there for small children - toys, books, highchair and blackout shutters were all really useful. Lots of lovely local restaurants and a stunning beach nearby which was quiet with great food options. Pool was a bit nippy as it isn’t heated but warmed up over the week, and was always empty when we went. We’d recommend Club Nau, Brunch in Rio, O Velho Novo and Delizie for yummy food and friendly staff. A really wonderful spot, and lovely place to stay with everything easy to walk to. Faro airport transfers easy with Uber as well.

Our family had a great time at Villa Miramar. The location was great with restaurants nearby and a beautiful walk along the coast to the town and beach. We enjoyed the pool and having BBQs in the evening. Fabio was extremely helpful and communicative throughout our stay. I would definitely go there again !!

It was what we expected, since being in the center of the Algarve, we were able to move in both directions and visit almost everything.

Great spot on the front row

An incredible property with a prime location. I usually vacation at Pine Cliffs Sheraton when visiting Falésia beach and this home provides incredible access to this beautiful part of the Algarvian coastline. Dirk’s magnificent home bolsters unrivaled nature views of the Atlantic, the sandstone cliffs and the traditional Portuguese cypress pines from every room. There is a lovely sense of peace and privacy that is difficult to find in ocean front property these days here. Beach access just in front of its door steps without public parking nearby is trove in itself. The swimming pool is heated slightly which makes it much more enjoyable. Dirk is slowly reviving this older traditional Portuguese home with the top modern amenities and bathrooms. He uses top equality equipment. We came after a storm and there was a slight musty odor in the bottom floor, but no big deal. The occasional bugs were dealt with proper care and meticulous cleaning from our part. Highly recommend.

The villa is more beautiful than the pictures! Very clean with everything you could possibly need. Susanna was friendly and waiting for us even though we were late arriving. She provided us with bread, meats, fruit, cheese and wine. Very much appreciated! Pool heat was amazing as we traveled during the rainiest, coldest week in a long time. We were able to use the pool and hot tub. We had a few issues that were resolved immediately-one being operator error (my mistake)! I would highly recommend Villa Carmita! The villa is central to everything. Susanna even allowed us to book a private chef! Thank you for the hospitality!

We had an amazing stay at Quinta Albandeira. Cecilia made sure our stay was comfortable and amazing. The house itself is absolutely gorgeous and has views that can't be beat. The house is large enough for a big family or two families to stay together. It's without a doubt one of the best places we've ever stayed at.

Sam is a fantastic host and we couldn’t have asked for more. The apartment was spotless and in a beautiful, quiet location only a short walk to the local beach or into the old town where there are some great restaurants. This is the third time we have visited Ferragudo and will definitely be back again next year 😍

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.

We cannot recommend highly enough! We are from the US and this is the third time we have stayed at Francisca's, so we are fans. This place is absolutely lovely, with privacy and comfort, a great kitchen with everything you need for cooking, both patio and rooftop access to relax in the sun, and walking to the greatest beach and sunrise/sunset viewing spots. The Alvor boardwalk is a terrific daily walk and lively place to enjoy both exercise and cafes/restaurants. We have only been there off-season so cannot speak to the amenities and crowds during the season, but this is a perfect spot (both town of Alvor and the development itself) in the Algarve to access quiet, beauty and good restaurants. Alvor is a great home base from which to enjoy the whole Algarve. Francisca is a kind, warm host who communicates easily and quickly when we have needed anything. It's a lucky find!

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!

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!

With all the many positive reviews here, I can only agree and emphasize again how great this place is! - The view of the castle and the harbor entrance with the river Arade from the balcony and terrace is simply stunningly beautiful (you can hardly sit more beautiful!). The decor of the villa is authentic and not hypermodern. Overall, we found it very consistent, also with the decoration. The bedroom with terrace and shower room is very spacious and the view is also super nice here. The 2nd bedroom is a bit dark, as the large window in it "only" goes to the small terrace in front of the house and does not really fall in a lot of light here. But since we didn't stay in this room for long except for sleeping, that didn't bother us. The only downside is that there is little space in the cabinets because there are many blankets, etc. The house itself is spacious, the living/dining area large and cozy. A great place for us!!
