The view is spectacular if you have a room with a sea view. Original room that we got was huge with enormous terrace, but no view. After first nights we we moved to the sea view room and it was amazing. The downside was the size of the room, but view was worth it.
Located on cliffs overlooking Praia das Gaivotas and the Atlantic Ocean, Vilalara Thalassa Resort features a luxurious spa, 6 outdoor pools and 2 restaurants.

Gorgeous location and great facilities, pools, beaches, the garden. We had a wonderful family reunion, and the villa allowed us to build life time memories of sharing meals and laughter on the two terraces, spend quality time together surrounded by flowers, trees and so many types of birds. A paradise in the sunny and beautiful Algarve.

The little town of Porches itself is of no interest whatsoever.
Supermarkets and restaurants are all located in or near the village resorts in the neighborhood.
And there are nice harbor towns in the vicinity with good sea food restaurants.
From the neighborhood of Porches many interesting trips can be made by car or by boat.

House was excellent, very well equipped with everything provided and more extras. Air conditioning was great, pool and grounds were perfect.Had a barbecue every night on upper terrace with stunning views. Location was lovely close to beaches and short walk to supermarket and lovely town. Host was very welcoming and went out of her way to help us. Will definitely return and didn't want to go back home, could have lived there forever.

Whole Algarve is simply wonderful.
Whole Algarve is simply wonderful. I especially recommend to visit cities like Lagos, Faro and beatiful beaches around Porches. Car, or taxi services needed if you do not prefer long walking (my preference).

After driving through the area quite a bit I felt that I just liked the environment of Porches a bit better. It’s pretty central in the Algarve, which allows for trips to Faro or the west coast, or anything in between.
We liked everything! Christophe and his staff were warm and so helpful. The location for us was perfect as it wasn’t right in the middle of a highly touristy beach town but the closest beaches were easily walkable and beautiful.
The breakfasts were awesome and we did our best not to miss the tea and cake served in the late afternoon ! And the wine bar was excellent- just for guests so it was really intimate and a great way to meet other guests. In short, Christophe, Sophie and staff provided an experience we will not soon forget!!
We loved everything about the property, but mostly the amazing staff and warm welcome. Casa Bela Moura has to be one of the Algarve’s best kept secrets. We were blown away by how beautiful the property is and how it truly felt like home from home. There are so many little touches from Sun umbrellas that you can borrow to room configuration perfect for a family sharing and not to mention the afternoon coffee and treats. The wine tasting evening was great and the cellar is amazing.
Nice flat really close to Nossa Senhora da Rocha and other beautiful beaches with everything you need to spend some time in the heart of Algarve. The kitchen is super well equipped, we cooked almost everyday, there's always space in front of the door to park the car (for free), the swimming pool is big and just around the corner. The bathrooms are modern and the bed was comfy! Nice outside space with a very enjoyable view on Armação. Air conditioning is a big plus as well!
This is a little gem of a property, beautifully decorated and all you need for your stay. We were 2 friends, a double room each with lovely comfy beds, slept so well! Very quiet location yet only a 10 minute walk from all bars and restaurants and 5 minutes from amazing beaches along the cliff walk with incredible views! For upmarket dining there is a 5 start resort within walking distance, supermarket a 10 minute walk away, a perfect self catering stay in Portugal!
Set up, 3 large bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, location, access to idealic beach within a few minutes, 10 mins walk to shops and restaurants. Roof Terrace was a nice touch, we used it post dinner, for cards and enjoyed the night sky. Kids only used the pool a couple of times, it was fine, it was just that the beach and sea were such a nice area, mainly locals which was nice to see.
We liked everything. Our host said "just enjoy your holiday" and they took care about everything you can imagine. During our 2 weeks holiday in Portugal this was the best accommodation in whole Portugal. We felt here like in our home with excellent service. Both our host were friendly, polite and funny. And thank you for the Chess game.
perfect location. very clean accommodations. it’s my first time to visit Algarve and I found the place location is the best on the coast .
thank you Laura for your worm hospitality. the host will send you all you need in the area. recommendations for the activities in all Algarve area.
I highly recommend this villa and the host as well

The hotel was very clean, and the staff was friendly.
The breakfast was fresh and the pastries were delicious!
This was a nice place to stay our first night after arriving earlier in the day in Lisbon.
The hotel was a comfortable place to plan and organize the rest of our trip.
Hosts were very friendly and made our stay very enjoyable. Well located allowing us to easily explore the Algarve. The villa was very spacious and well kept. It has a very nice vibe of well being allowing you to enjoy the sun and pool as you please. A haven of tranquility.
We stayed in Casa Das Areias which was clean, comfortable, cozy, and had everything you could need for a 2-week holiday at a reasonable price. We can not forget the swimming pool where we spent most of our time. We loved our time in Algarve and we plan to return.
We were attending a wedding in Porches and selected this rental because it was close to the venue. We are so pleased with our choice. The villa was pleasant and clean. Lucien was an attentive host who did his utmost to make us comfortable.
Location of Porches is closeby to all destinations and with the rental with us and easy parking, nothing is far away. Pool in the backyard accessible to all residents of the property is an added advantage.
Me and my family we had fantastic time in White shall beach villas. Room, territory, atmosphere, dinner, staff, everything was fantastic. My children enjoyed swimming in warm and cozy swimming pool.
We liked the modern style of the apartment, seeing wonderful full moon at night sitting in the balcony, cool pool nearby, very helpful host, ease of getting into the apartment.
All perfect!!! It was enough to accommodate our group of 8 people. Liked that it was clean and well-equipped. Also a wonderful pool! We really enjoyed our stay there!
Near beaches. Good starting point or "base camp" for various trips outside Porches, like Ria Formosa natural park, Silves Castle, Mount Foia, Praia de Bordeira, etc.
Great apartment in one of the best area of Algarve. Laurence was really friendly and always available for any kind of requests. I can’t recommend highly enough!
