What to look for in villas and holiday homes in Portugal
Whole houses rented to one party, usually with a private garden and often a private pool. The appeal is exclusivity: no shared corridors, no neighbours through the wall, and space to spread out. The cost per person falls quickly as the group grows, which is why a villa can undercut four hotel rooms.
Before you book, check
- Whether staff are included: many villas come with a housekeeper or a cook, and some do not.
- Whether the pool is heated, private, and how it is fenced if children are coming.
- The distance to a shop and a restaurant. Villas are frequently rural.
- The security deposit, how it is taken, and when it is returned.
Photographs of villas are the most flattering in the industry. Look for guest photos, check the review score for accuracy of the listing, and read what people say about the road in — "ten minutes from the beach" is sometimes ten minutes down an unmade track.
Worth it for: Groups, families travelling together, and longer stays where you want a base rather than a room.
