awsum place, extremely comfortable
stayed in this unit for 6 weeks, used it as a abse camp tour Portugal. Benagyl beach is a zoo, thousands of people there on some days, best part was a latte in the cafes on the side cliffs and watching people try to kayak to the caves. The pool is beautiful clean and has washrooms in the area.The complex is very quiet so if your looking for a party zone forget it. Carvehero is about a 15 minute drive away, Smugglers beach is about 20 min walk along the cliffs away. The unit is well stocked for cooking, charcoal barbeque and the Beygil staff were excellant. A hint for North American travellers, if you have an Amazon Firestik, bring it or you have 3 english channels

A few days in Benagil
We had a great few days in a lovely area. The house was very nice and well situated. The pool could have done with a bit more space for sun beds.

Peaceful retreat
Beautiful Villa in a very quiet fishing village with stunning sea views. We stayed for 10 nights at the end of August. House is clean, well equipt and comfortable. The house has ample bedding and towels which is excellent especially travelling with young children. Garden has 4 sun loungers and there's a table with chairs under a canopy to enjoy eating outdoors. On the roof terrace there are 4 more chairs and a small table. A small suggestion is for the furniture on the roof could do with being updated and it would have been useful to have a couple of chairs on the balcony from the second bedroom. However the house is extremely well managed and any query or request is dealt with immediately. We requested a few things during our stay ( more pool / beach towels , pillows, outdoor chairs) and these were promptly provided. Superb service, very impressed!! There are two beaches in walking distance , one of which is accessible by stairs and the other you access through a small cave (very stunning and great experience!) Pool is fantastic, warm and you can always get a lounger as other guests are respectful and don't leave towels on if they're not being used. We ate out a couple of times, casa de lamy had stunning sea views but our favourite was casa de pasto do mar which has stunning food and very reasonable prices. Overall a fantastic villa which I would recommend for families or anyone wishing for a quiet retreat. Thank you again for the excellent service and amazing family holiday.

Wonderful Month in Benagil!
My husband and I spent the month of February at this wonderful condo in Benagil. This was our first time being in Portugal, and after spending a few weeks exploring the “Algarve”, we were even happier with our choice of accommodation. Benagil is in a great central location with amazing coastal trails and 2 beautiful beaches right out the door. Three big grocery stores a short drive from here (Intermarche & Aldi were our favourites). The gorgeous beach town of Carvoeiro is nice and close as well, with lots of little shops and restaurants. You definitely need a car if you are staying right in Benagil, but there are a few restaurants you can walk to. We had 2 wonderful seafood meals at “Brisa do Mar” which is right around the corner, just a few steps away. The condo itself is fantastic and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Very reasonably priced for everything it has to offer. We cooked most of our own meals and the appliances, cookware & utensils were great, and we certainly appreciated the few spices and other supplies they had available for us to use. So peaceful and quiet here during this time of year, it almost felt like we had the entire complex to ourselves. Thanks David & Mari for sharing your beautiful property with us. We absolutely loved it here and hope to make it back again someday!

Don't Miss this Algarve Property in Benagil in Autumn- Quiet & Serene in Sun
Benagil is so quiet and peaceful to relax in on the Algarve. Even in October it is remarkably warm. The cliff-top walks are breathtaking to view out across the ocean. I strongly recommend you add lote no. 11 to your autumn wish lists to visit.

Fabulous property in a fabulous location
Really enjoyed our recent stay here, the house is just as it appears in the photos and as described. It was a bonus to have housekeeping mid way through our stay too! It’s only metres away from two beautiful beaches - a boat tour of the caves is a must. Car hire is essential as the shops/supermarket is quite a distance away but this also allowed us to explore the surrounding area. We will definitely return. Thank you for a wonderful holiday

Excellent property
Comfortable and well equipped property, close to Benagil village and the beach. Excellent pool private to owners. We do recommend a car as there are no local shops and main supermarket (Intermarche) is a few km away. Also a Spar shop at Roche Brava which is close by. Excellent restaurants within walking distance and all well priced. A trip to the caves from the beach is worthwhile and you can chose from a short trip of about 30 minutes or a longer one of about 1 hour 15 minutes that includes a swimming stop, subject to favourable weather. Tennis enthusiasts can play in the "meet and greet" sessions for club level players at Rocha Brava Village and these run for 6 days a week, excluding Saturdays. Golf is available close by at Vale Do Mihlo 9 hole course. Owner David is most helpful and will assist you in any way possible. Gordon R.

A Fantastic Week in Benagil!
Our group of 4 had a very enjoyable 7 day stay at the Terracos de Benagil Unit 11. The villa was very nicely furnished and in an excellent location atop the cliffs along the Atlantic with numerous walking paths accessible from the complex. The neighbours were friendly and helpful with local suggestions and it was very quiet at night for good sleeps. We enjoyed the various amenities including WiFi, a nice variety of CD's and DVD's, good A/C system (as the weather was quite warm), nearby swimming pool and of course the roof top terrace which provided excellent views. We would definitely return to this area and stay at the same location.

fantastic rental for family with kids
we stayed at the property for one week. David was immensely helpful prior to our arrival proving us with all sorts of information about the property and the surroundings. The villa is equipped with 3 bathrooms, a small yet functional kitchen, a nice living room with television, internet, 2 bedrooms and a roof terrace. The pools was great for our two kids. Two beautiful beaches and several restaurants are within walking distance. I recommend some sea kayaking to see some of the caves. You can easily swim to the famous Benagil caves from the beach in town (as long as the water isn't too frigid or the sea too rough). Beautiful place all around.

Beautiful spacious House in gorgeous setting
Just back from a week here and we had a wonderful holiday, and absolutely loved the house and Benagil. The house was so comfortable and spacious. We wanted for nothing; I would highly recommend this place to friends. We have a 4 year old and it is very safe, with a secure garden and the pool only accessible with a key code. The house is very comfortable, as clean and comfortable a s a good hotel but lots more space. Benagil is a quiet village (busy beach though) really beautiful cliffs and walks.

Hi Emma, Your own happiness in Benagil is almost tangible.I know exactly how you feel down there on the Algarve and we are all so lucky to experience the warmth and friendliness of the Portuguese. A small country with so much to treasure for use all. The sun too gives this serene village such an additional touch of beauty. Thank you. David OWNER

Benagil Bliss
A lovely property on a lovely development-very peaceful at this time of year-the pool on site is great and big enough to swim lengths-the pool area could do with a little updating but we were told that this was likely to happen at the end of the year! The house we rented was number 11 and internally had everything you could possibly want on a holiday- very comfortable beds, sofas and very well equipped kitchen. The area is well served with supermarkets and we discovered the lovely beaches to the west at Alvor and Meia Praia -the beaches locally have very steep access and were not for us-but if you have a car it is a truly delightful area-both on the coast and into the mountains inland.

An excellent base for exploring and relaxing
A relaxing and extremely comfortable stay. The villa is well cared for, homely and spotless. The owner ensured we had all the information we needed in good time and advised re car rental, food shopping, restaurants and golf in the area. Benagil is a quiet and picturesque place to stay. The walk along the coastal path in both directions is a must as is the boat trip to see the incredible caves. We'd return in a flash! Thank you for providing a wonderful holiday destination.

Está genial y es muy recomendable. Muy bien equipada la casa y muy amable la atención de la empresa que gestiona el alquiler. el único pero, es que entiendo que el `precio es demasiado elevado, al menos desde el punto de vista del mercado español. Está mas enfocado a un público británico.

Great holidays in Benagil!
We went there in June 2022 with our two daughters (age 6 + 3). Everyone had a real great time. The house was in the perfect location, with 2 beautiful beaches in easy walking distance, also with the kids and beach equipment. The pool was quite big and clean and our daughter learned swimming there. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. We also walked the 7 valley trail, which we can recommend to everyone. We enjoyed our holidays and hope that we can come back one day :-)

Perfect!
This condo is really wonderful. It is beautiful and was perfect for us living there for two weeks (we were very sad when we had to depart!), quiet, peaceful, very comfortable and excellent situated. Weather was extraordinary good and we think Benagil is one of the best places at the Algarve Coast with nice restaurants and beautiful beaches. Friendly management. So: Thank you very much for your kindness and hospitality. We hope to come back!
