24 great Airbnbs in the Algarve for 2022

Looking for a vacation home, VRBO, or Airbnb in the Algarve? You came to the right place. Here we share a list of the best Airbnbs to be found on the Algarve Coast.

The Algarve Coast stretches along the southernmost coastline of Portugal and is home to some of the best beaches, weather, and culture in the region.

A number of small towns and cities are spread throughout the coast with everything from small fishing villages to bustling cultural hubs.

The Algarve coast is a wonderful holiday destination as there is so much variety that it can be personalized to suit any holiday style or preference. If you are looking for a complete Algarve itinerary, click here.

Staying in an vacation home or Airbnb may save you a few bucks. Not only will you save on your accommodation, but many of the rental apartments we handpicked also have more character and are much more quaint than your traditional hotel room.

Airbnb might be the most widely known website for vacation rentals but that doesn’t make it the best or the cheapest.  To help you compare we expanded our selection to also include vacation homes from other reputable and well-trusted sites such as Booking.com, Expedia, and VRBO (which is also part of the Expedia Group).  Check and compare, lower booking and cleaning fees make these other sites cheaper than Airbnb.  Enjoy your trip!
