4 Bed Rental in Madeira
This is the best airbnb I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in, every one of us was indeed impressed with how lovely the apartment was, it’s very spacious and perfect for 4+ people, it’s the ideal location for exploring Madeira by car. As it’s in the central location of the island. The host was amazing left us a welcome basket with loads of different local snacks, they was very welcoming and attended to our needs and provided lots of information about Madeira and activities that we can do Overall for the price and quality of what you’re getting it’s out of this world 🌍 get yourself booked in 👍🏻

BLUE TILE @ AZORES NEST
I can’t recommend Tiago’s place enough! It’s a beautiful and spacious place, about 10 minutes walking distance from the beach and the downtown area. The house is equipped with EVERYTHING you could ask for. From basics like enough towels (even beach towels) to the kitchen that was fully set up everything was available! Tiago was super responsive and we even had the pleasure to meet his dad for a moment. 10/10, highly recommend!

City Center, Walk 2 All, Near Marina. Private Yard
The place was bright and clean with plenty of space for our family. The location was perfect for walking to local restaurants and shops while we also enjoyed eating outside on the comfortable patio. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Casa Nici magnificant sea views
Check in was easy and smooth, communication was very good from the host. We really did feel like we could lean on them if we wanted anything. Very nice and helpful. House was generally very clean and we had a great time there. Big dinner tables for family meals both inside and out and a nice little breakfast bar. Pool was well maintained and kept clean. Kitchen is pretty much stocked with everything you'd need. Only downside I would say is that the garage would've been too small for the original car we had hired, thankfully we ended up getting a hatchback rather than an SUV. The tight roads would've also been an issue for inexperienced drivers. Not a deal breaker though, the house was very nice and spacious otherwise.

180º view over the West
Very nice apartment with very nice view. Johnny is a very friendly and supportive host. It was great to sit out in the sun in the morning. Very quiet, 10 min up the steep hill from Ponta do Sol.

Big house for 6/9pax in Vila Real
Excellent stay for several families with kids. The estate is beautiful and well maintained, the pools are nice to cool off in during a heat wave. The hospitality is perfect. The price in season may be scary at first but the house, the estate and the kindness of the employees justifies it. We'll be happy to go back! Thanks Inès (and Angela)

*Algarve Olhão* 400 meter from the Sea
Thank you Norbert for restoring our faith in Airbnb! The place was exactly as described, local to everything and nice little touches like beer and juice in the fridge were appreciated. The kitchen was well equipped with pots and pans as well as a range of condiments. Beds were comfortable and great choice on TV.

Housy2 between Beach & Mountain
Candida was lovely and at check in, gave up local knowledge and tour of house, which was clean and very functional. They had a hair dryer, nice when traveling to not need your own or worry with voltage and a small space heater which was nice for our unusually cold days. There's two bedrooms, one with a comfortable bed (not too firm or too soft) and one that was a bit thinner and softer, so you have options! There was an induction stove top and microwave with a convection feature, good for warming things though probably not good for baking. The only con was unfortunately the towels and sheets are washed in a strongly scented detergent-common for Portugal but still bothersome. The location has great parking very close and free and is in a lovely neighborhood.

DOWNTOWN SEAVIEW APARTMENT
Miguel was very friendly and flexible with the check in and check out time. The apartment is large with a great view! We had a lovely stay.

NEW!! Golden apt in Prime Location-2BR_2WC_AC_lift
Great place to stay in Lisbon. It’s right in the centre of the city close to everything. Joana is a great host very responsive and friendly. The apartment is well stocked with everything you need. It’s spacious. Well decorated and very clean. Easy access from the street with modern lift. No keys are required as the doors open with a digital code. Recommend it 100%

NEW! Stylish apartment close to Center and Marina
I cannot recommend this apartment enough, we would definitely stay here again! It's a gorgeous high-end unit with lots of natural light and several patios, very spacious and tastefully decorated. The hosts were wonderful and sent very clear check-in instructions ahead of time along with some good recommendations for local restaurants. They responded to messages very promptly and showed up right away to fix a lightbulb that had burned out during our stay. The area is very walkable, only about a 5-10 minute walk to the main bus station and Lagos Old Town with some good restaurants and cafes close by. Highly recommend this spot to anyone staying in Lagos!

2 Bedroom apartment Ponta Delgada
Great apartment in an excellent location — everything was within walking distance. The building is beautiful, and the view from the balcony, overlooking the botanical garden, was a real highlight. Honestly, the place looked even better in real life than in the photos. Would definitely stay here again.

Uptown Luxury Flat Boavista
The apartment was lovely - just as described and very comfortable for 2 people. Spotlessly clean with some of those little extras that you don't realise you need. Good location for us - we didn't want to be right in the centre of Porto and we could walk to lots of different locations, or use the metro or bus service. Cristina was very proactive and helpful in sending us information and flexible - allowing us a slightly later check-out for a late flight. With Lidl around the corner and a Pingo Doce supermarket not too far away meant we could get anything we needed. We went to Praca Tapas bar opposite Lidl which was lovely and used some of Cristina's other recommendations for meals which were great. Don't miss Francesinha's at Cafe Santiago in town!

Swimming Pools & Sunny Days Apartment-Gentle Rest
Very nice stay in a beautiful apartment, Alex sent us all the activities nearby, everything matches the description.
House of Santo André
Isabel was a great host. She was very welcoming upon our arrival. She provided great information on things to do, places to eat and contacts for day trips away from the downtown area. The home had everything we needed for our stay. Isabel was also very accommodating on our departure as we had a late flight she allowed us to stay well past the scheduled check-out time. I would highly recommend her home.

In Bloom Apartments | 3.4
Great location for walking to all the sights. Host was proactive, and communication was easy. Would stay again!

Villa 5BD | W/ private pool | Golf | Beach
Beautiful villa in a good location. Catarina was quick to respond and flexible with us checking in and out. Thank you 😊

Villa Pinheira II panoramic sea view very private
Perfect and high-quality equipment, everything you need is available. The host is very friendly and has provided us with eggs and bananas. The bananas are awesome! The apartment is quietly located, has a fantastic view and everything is easy to reach by car, highly recommended to explore the whole island. Very, highly recommend!

"Cabana Papaya" South Coast
We loved the apartment and especially the balcony with fantastic views of the banana plantation and the sea! We felt completely comfortable. Eva is a very accommodating host and was always easily accessible to us. We only regretted that during our time there was a construction site slightly above, which disturbed the tranquility of this area. There is also a second apartment and balcony right next door and the apartments are a bit noisy. Apart from that, we can highly recommend the place and would love to come back any time. Thank you very much Eva!

Secluded cottage w pool, oceanside view, 3BR, 3BA
If you love the original, this is the place to be. The accommodation offers enough space and nice different outdoor seating. From the pool you also have a fantastic view of the sea and the surroundings. We felt completely comfortable.

Villa Golden Charm
We really enjoyed the accommodation! (family of 6 people) This one is well located, a beautiful view, very peaceful and private place. It is very well equipped, heated pool (for €30/day), barbecue available, very spacious and clean. Which makes it a great value. We recommend it!

Villa Graciela
The place was beyond spacious for a group of 5, we had everything we could possibly need, washing machine and dryer saved us when it randomly rained, kitchen has everything you could need, jacuzzi was perfect temperature... The only thing to be aware of is the location on the property page is just a bit different than the actual location. Andrea does send the correct location and gives thourough instructions with videos on where to locate keys and how to get the car in to make it easier on visitors. All in all great stay and recommendations of where to visit and eat.

Casa O Refúgio
The home was comfortable, charming, and offered all we needed for a relaxing week. The location is central so having a car is a necessity. The host set up the rental car for us as well as provided experiences to book. Communication was always responsive. Anna, a cohost, welcomed us and walked us through the home and provided invaluable information. We did learn the hard way that if you don’t pre-book hot springs, you will miss out. Beautiful island and people! Highly recommend. PS- I accidentally left a small black plastic case that includes my wedding ring among other things. They searched but couldn’t find it. If you rent and find this, please let Maria know.

Casa dos Arcos
We had a lovely time in Casa dos Arcos. The house and the garden had everything we needed. We stayed for three months (Jan - Apr) and it was the perfect place to spend this period. There were some challenges concerning the humidity (it was the rainiest season in 20 years) but Nicolas provided immediate solutions and kept thinking along with us. Our three boys (8, 6 and 3) go to a school only 7 minutes away, so this house was at a perfect location, with quite surroundings and a stunning view that we enjoyed every day. We really hope to come back here. Thank you for everything!
Your guide to Portugal
All About Portugal
With historic cities, extravagant castles, idyllic beaches, and a renowned food and wine, Portugal offers visitors myriad memorable experiences. In the capital city of Lisbon, you’ll find incredible street art-covered buildings as well as historical landmarks like the 16th-century Tower of Belém — a UNESCO World Heritage site. St. George’s Castle towers over the city, while the spectacular neo-Gothic Santa Justa Lift rises above the rooftops for stunning views. Lisbon is famous for pastéis de nata, custard pastries created by Catholic monks in the 18th century, and people line up out the door of the local bakeries for the delicious treats.
Porto is Portugal’s second city, and its old town — which is a designated UNESCO Heritage site — is lined with cobbled streets, ornate churches, and beautifully tiled buildings decorated with distinct blue and white tiles called azulejos. It’s also the place to sample the country’s most famous wine, port.
On the west coast, you’ll find the narrow streets and opulent palaces of Sintra, while in the north, you can explore picturesque waterways from inside a gondola in Aveiro. The island of Madeira boasts incredible landscapes and charming villages, as well as fresh seafood and delicious Madeira wine. And you’ll find some of Europe’s finest beaches in the Algarve in southern Portugal, with stunning limestone rock formations that tower over the sand.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Portugal
Portugal experiences year-round sunshine, so anytime is a great time to secure a vacation rental in a city or along the coast. Depending on the region, though, the weather each season can vary. In the south, the Algarve enjoys long, hot summers and short, mild winters. Lisbon experiences hot summers and rainy winters, while in Porto and the north, summers are hot and winters can get chilly. Spring and fall are pleasant throughout the country, with warm days and mild evenings.
Portugal hosts festivals and events all year round. Carnivale takes over Lisbon in February with street acts, costumes, and parades. In May, the streets of Madeira are covered in flowers for the Flower Festival. Towns and cities come alive for the Santos Festivities (Celebration of the Popular Saints) in June with parades, traditional street dances, and fresh sardines. And in September, Porto celebrates Port Wine Day, with plenty of festivities spotlighting the famous drink.
Top things to do in Portugal
Sintra
Less than an hour from Lisbon, the town of Sintra features picturesque villas, palaces, and castles. Visit the ancient ruins of the Castle of the Moors, dating back to the eighth century. See the stunning architecture of the Regaleira Palace and Gardens and Monserrate Palace with its subtropical gardens. The highlight of the town, sitting high on a hill, is the spectacular pastel-painted Pena’s Palace — a former summer retreat for the royal family surrounded by lovely pine forests.
Lagos
The Algarve town of Lagos sits at the southernmost tip of the country and features beautiful pristine beaches and the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Ancient Moorish walls circle the town center, which is home to lovely squares full of cafes and shops. A highlight is Ponta da Piedade headland south of the town — a series of dramatic cliffs featuring incredible naturally formed grottos and sea caves.
Obidos
In the west, the town of Obidos is protected by an imposing eighth-century fortified wall. Walk through it into the town to find a magnificent medieval castle and ornate churches. The cobbled streets are full of vibrant squares with cafes, shops, and markets alongside whitewashed houses. The town is famous for its Medieval Festival in July, featuring jugglers, wandering minstrels, jousting knights, and a bounty of meat on offer.
