The beautiful Ria Formosa!: The Ria Formosa in the Algarve is a beautiful labyrinth of lagoons separated from the sea by a coastal dune system which is broken up by various natural inlets. It is one of the most important nature reserves in the network of wetlands that links Europe and sub-Saharan Africa. The Ria has an enormous variety of natural habitats that provide refuge, feeding and breeding areas for an infinite number of flora and fauna and is a haven for birds.
The beaches of the isles of Faro, Barreta, Culatra, Armona and Tavira form a natural barrier to the Ocean. Behind are the dunes, sometimes just a narrow strip and sometimes wider and then come the labyrinth of lagoons and small sand islands and channels. At low tide other salty habitats are uncovered forming marches and salt marshes.

Amazing stay well equipped villa amazing heated pool, multi generational holiday and absolutely perfect for this. Clean well located lovely beach with some lovely little local restaurants and shops we don’t hire a car easy to get an uber if you would like to explore further. Excellent host very accomadating
It was a very enjoyable stay with family & friends. There was a musty/moldy smell in two of the bathrooms, and we did have an issue with the heated pool on our first day. We actually contacted Vrbo support and a pool guy came out very early a day or two later and checked it for us. We very much enjoyed the area, very close to the beach, two small groceries stores and bars are all within walking distance.
Wonderful, quiet location that is very close to a fabulous beach. We were a family group of 9 women and the number of bedrooms/bathrooms was great. We enjoyed the pool and sunshine and then a shady front location with pool table and ping pong table. Cafes and shopping close by.
Our family of 10 stayed for a week aged10 to 73. We had a fabulous time and the pool was a huge winner for us all . The place is lovely and within walking distance to the beach,shops and restaurants . Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend
The property was perfect for our short break. Ideally located and all facilities excellent. Wished we were there for longer and hope to return another time.
We had a lovely week at this large villa. There was plenty of room for our group of 12 (3 families of 4). The air con and pool kept us cool in the heat and we loved the outdoor kitchen/eating area and the garden is very private and not overlooked. The property owners/management were responsive when we had any queries - the only issues we had were a power outage (which we understand also affected other properties in the local area) and getting to grips with the alarm system (user error!). It’s well situated - a short walk to the beach, bars, restaurants & shops. Would definitely recommend!
The villa met and even exceeded all expectations. The pool and outdoor eating area was particularly outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed our barbecues. Easy walk to stunning beach, shops and restaurants
We all enjoyed our time.Loved having a pool and all the activities they provide, ping pong table, pool table, etc.. short walk to the beach We stayed for a week.Good to have a car so you can visit other towns. Lots of room for two cars. Thanks so much Andrew and Else.Kind regards Ron, Kim and family
Property was ok. Needs some work.Location is ok. Quiet but not alot to do. Traveling to other towns for day trips is easy enough.Beach is lovely. Has a small park which worked perfect on our walks out.Overall a good choice.
Very spacious villa with a great pool.
In such a great area.
Every aspect of the logistics from how to get to the villa and finding the keys to the villa was efficient .
An enjoyable stay at this lovely villa. Heated pool was a highlight. The place is well equipped and in a great location for the beach and supermarket.
Some basic provisions (bread/milk/water) might have been nice on arrival as we arrived late in the evening, but overall this villa was a great location for a multi-generational family holiday.
The villa has everything that both families or groups of friends need to make their visit enjoyable. The layout is superb and all the necessary comforts are included. We will certainly be staying again.
Fantastic property and central to everything. Very well equipped and Andrew was really helpful.
Beach only 10 mins walk with many restaurants and shops just a walk away
We have just arrived home from a wonderful week at Casa Betel villa! A family of 11, between the ages of 3 and 62, the accommodation suited all of our needs perfectly. The pool was perfect for the children to enjoy safely and the pool heating was such a huge bonus!
The location is great, walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beautiful local beach.
Would recommend to anyone looking to stay here!
Delightful property with easy walk to restaurants, grocery stores and the beach. We had zero issues that required fixing and enjoyed the nicely heated pool every day.

Good location property needs updating
The property is in a nice area close to shops bars and restaurants and the beach.The house was large enough for our party of 13, however it was not particularly clean on arrival and was in need of maintenance in several areas, broken gate outside, broken trim in the upstairs ensuite, missing tiles in the pool shower and pool itself, mould around the bathroom showers. Considering how much we paid to rent this property for a week I was disappointed by the lack of cleanliness and maintenance.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Manta Rota. Our host, Andrew, was very responsive to any queries and was we quick to respond if we needed something.
The villa is a short walk to the beach and a shorter walk to a fun local pub. All amenities are within walking distance.
We had our family of 10 stay very comfortably & thoroughly enjoyed our week! It is charming and has plenty of room for all of us. Hosts were wonderful… responsive and helpful!
The highlights were Old Times restaurant which is a short walk from the house, sea kayaking into the sea caves and a day spent in Sevilla Spain which is only an hour or so away!
We will definitely be returning!

About the host
Hosted by Andrew Derrick
Both Else and I worked in London for many years before deciding to seek warmer climes! We have two grown up children, now working in London and have been managing properties in the East Algarve for over eighteen years. We live nearby and are available for help or advice during you stay here.
Why they chose this property
We bought Casa Betel in 2005, initially as the house for us to live in. As a result, the house has a very 'lived in' feel with our own pictures on the wall, and other personal items. The East Algarve is wonderfully portuguese. It is a beautiful place to come at all times of the year. In summer it is very warm and almost always with blue skis and sunshine. The winters are also sunny and with temperatures during the day of 16 - 18 c it is extremely pleasant. Of course there are also far fewer people and it is wonderfully calm and peaceful.
What makes this property unique
The house has a private swimming pool which can be heated for a cost of £100, and a large jacuzzi.
