About this house rental

Solar de Santa Isabel is a renovated 16th century manor house in the centre of Portimao old town. This large house is furnished with antiques but features modern bathrooms and amenities, including an 11 by 4 metre pool set in a beautiful walled garden with a fountain, large sun bathing terrace and summer house. The pool can be heated at additional cost. The house is on a narrow cobbled street just off the main square and waterfront, with its abundance of restaurants, cafes and bars. The post office, banks, taxi rank and bus stops are within walking distance. The famous beach resort of Praia da Rocha is a five-minute taxi, car or bus ride away.


Facilities in the house: There is a barbecue in the garden. We also have sets of plastic tableware for use around the pool. The kitchen has crockery and cutlery for 24 persons and a full range of saucepans, frying pans etc. All the bedrooms have sprung mattresses with protectors and have cotton bedlinen. Blankets are also available. Sets of towels are provided in the bathrooms but WE DO NOT PROVIDE BEACH OR POOL TOWELS. At the beginning of each stay we stock the fridge with a range of basic items, including tea, coffee, milk, butter, bread and jam, and supply some bottles of local wine for you to sample. Further supplies (including additional toilet paper and washing powder) should be purchased by guests. There is wireless broadband access in the house which is available for guest use.

Local amenities: Close to the house are a number of small cafes which can provide snacks. Around the square at the bottom of the street are a number of inexpensive restaurants and local bars. There are two or three medium-sized supermarkets within a five minute walk and a large hyper-market about 15 minutes walk away in the modern part of Portimao.
Boat trips and boat hire are available from the quay and marina which are at the bottom of the street.
There are several golf courses around the town including the Penina course and the Gramacho course.


More information: There is no garage at the house, but parking is possible in some of the streets around the house. There are several large car parks within 2-5min walk: one to the south of the square at the bottom of the street and an underground car park behind the church at the top of the street (Praca Alameda). There are more pictures of the house and a map of the location on our web site, please, contact for the address. We employ a housekeeper who speaks English and will be happy to assist you with any queries or emergencies and will greet you on arrival. Please note a refundable damage deposit of £300 will be required with all bookings.

We had a wonderful time, Galina our housekeeper was very helpful, letting us check in early and very understanding with our very large and diverse group! The house was perfect, giving everyone their own space and wonderful communal spaces to gather and eat together! The pool was the highlight of course, and Portimão had wonderful restaurants and the people were so friendly. Loved every moment!

We had a lovely week here, the location is great for the town and marina. There were 21 of us (ages ranging from 6 months to 80) and there was plenty of space to be together or find time to be alone. The property manager Galinda, was amazing and helped out with any questions we had really promptly. Just a couple of downsides - the property is advertised as having air-con, but in fact only one room had it. The rest only had ceiling fans - which in 34˚ heat, didn't really do a lot. The antiques and artefacts are fitting with the property, but the amount of photographs and other items that are placed on all the surfaces make it difficult to find space for your own belongings.

Simply superb. Wonderful house, host, housekeeper. The pool is huge. The location is perfect for access to shops and restaurants. I have been twice and booked for next year for a large family of 24.

The house was absolutely perfect for our large family holiday. Everything we needed was supplied and the woman who looks after the property was extremely helpful. The pool was also perfect and was an absolute favourite for all the children and adults. Evening drinks on the terrace became a nightly love. And finally, Portimao was a fantastic and wonderful surprise suppling us with a perfect family holiday.

We had a family reunion of 3 generations, all adults. The house was big, spacious, and offered lots of private places, both indoors and out, for quiet chats, big meals together, and lounging by the pool. We ate all our meals outside at the various covered patios. All bedrooms were ensuite and most had private sitting rooms. Definitely old world charm, but functional and comfortable with good plumbing, lots of hot water, and tons of glasses and place settings to be found in the kitchen. We used the electric juicer every morning for oranges and lemon aid. The location was perfect - walk out the door to cafés, restaurants, and convenience store, steps from the sea/river promenade. The housekeeper was there each day, discrete, nice to have the garbage taken out, our beds made, and washrooms freshened up. I would like to see pool towels available, we used our bathroom towels and bought some beach towels. A great stay!
