Great location. Walk to town with excellent restaurants and bars. House was clean and perfect for the 3 nights we were there, but home was a little tired and needed minor things to be fixed (ie: screen doors). Also, probably time time to replace mattresses.
Nice villa. Claudio very helpful. Garden could be beautiful if it was better kept, needs a gardener. Kitchen well equipped, but a lot of ANTS ! , need restoration. Clean pool, but sun lounges needs replacement and/or new mattresses. Toys for kids, nice touch..Wifi signal very good.AC worked well, beds good, plenty of towels etc. No cleaning lady.
This villa was EXACTLY as described. The surrounding gardens made it an absolutely magical stay. The beds were comfy, the water was hot, the pool was cool, and the kitchen was perfect for our needs. Really enjoyed exploring and would definitely go back again.
The property is well situated, close to restaurants and the downtown. It is lush property with plenty of privacy. Beautiful view of the ocean from the roof top terrace. A great location to explore the east and west coastal towns. The home is well equipped with everything you need.
We had a nice stay at the house. Good pool , airconditioning and wifi. Beautiful garden. Good location. We had a bit of bad luck that the neigbour had Some construction work in the week that we stayer at the house, but that can happen. Overall we had a nice stay. I can recommend the house.
This is a wonderful find and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place in Carvoeiro - It is beautifully maintained and well equipt you feel like you like you are at home - only wish we could have stayed longer - FYI - I am not "Dave" for someone reason VRBO has me listed as Dave - I am Lisbeth
We have just had a fantastic week staying at Casa Hibiscus! A beautiful, traditional villa with amazing gardens and pool area. Great communication with the manager during the booking process and a warm welcome during check in. Villa has everything you need for a comfortable stay and is only a short walk down the hill into Carvoeiro. We hope to be back soon!
This beautiful garden Villa more than met our expectations. This is an older home which we appreciated. We loved the Portugal charm with the cork ceilings, outdoor spaces, lovely gardens with ponds and serenading frogs and birds. Great location, close to beaches, cliffs and restaurants but far enough to be relaxing. Truly a home away from home.
Perfect villa for a family of four with two teenagers. The pool was key for the hot afternoons. Close to town - an easy walk. Accommodations are traditional and not fancy - but clean and well-kept.
We have recently returned from our holiday @ Casa Hibiscus & with regret have to say this Villa falls well short of expectations & Vrbo ratings which we have been unable to resolve directly with the owner. You only need to read the review book in the Villa & the alarm bells start.You feel you have stepped back in time with limited maintenance over many years including a very musty smell, external doors that are secured by sticks, the worst grouted swimming pool tiled area ever, poor oppressive lighting, outdoor mats which are a disgrace, poor & dangerous lighting on outdoor stairs to a scruffy roof top terrace, sun weakened sunbeds & a broken oven not to mention poorly maintained mossy nets---unfortunately the list is endless.The Villa is in desperate need of a cash injection & significant TLC to meet modern day needs.In addition to all this we suffered constant building work next door resulting in a level of noise that meant us needing to go out during the day (the video's we have of this building work leave you in no doubt of what an awful holiday we had but the owner takes no responsibility).The final straw was on leaving the show tap stuck in the on position which for some reason the owner thinks was our fault when it was another example of poor maintenance.I best stop there as l could continue, enough to say I will never be returning & now have doubts about Vrbo who we have used positively in the past?
We absolutely loved our time in this spacious and perfectly located villa, just on the edge of Carvoeiro. Starting with the location: itâs just far enough out of town to be peaceful and quiet, but close enough that you can walk to all the best restaurants and bars (and the beach) within 10 minutes. Then the villa itself: completely secluded with a beautiful poolâŠperfect for the kids to splash about in (ours are 9 and 11). And the villa itself is really spacious, with 3 good sized bedrooms and nice big beds in each of them. All in all we had a brilliant holiday and would love to return to this villa one day if we can!
The villa is set in a nice area just outside of Town, close enough to be able to walk there and the main beach/restaurants, but also far enough out that itâs quiet and relaxing. The pool, garden and different seating areas (including bbq) were the highlight of the villa, and we spent most of our time outside. The property is well set up for kids with games and cot and toilet seat etc, as well as a childrenâs decorated room. The interior is very traditional and was perfect for our taste, and everything was as advertised and described. Some areas could do with slight modernisation in the future, but everything worked well and we really enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of seating and the pool/pool area were a great way to relax when not at the beach. Ross
Had a wonderful stay at Casa Hibiscus in Carvoeiro! Home is a short 10 minute walk to town and beaches. It is a bit hilly for folks with mobility issues, but Uber is readily available and is a cheap way to get home from downtown! We rented e-bikes from Nelson at Carvoeiro Bike Rentals in town and had a wonderful tour of the oceanfront.
The Casa was exactly how the pictures display. A very quaint Portuguese home with all the amenities you need. The pool which is not heated was a lovely temperature and we were in it everyday. The gardens are beautiful around the home with many flowers and birds. The property manager met us on arrival and was very helpful during our stay.
A lovely week was spent at Casa Hibiscus and we would highly recommend this home to others.
Our adult family spent a lovely week relaxing in Casa Hibiscus. There were several areas to retreat if you wanted some quiet time - my favourite was the seat by the frog pond.
We were greeted by the lovely Claudio - also responded promptly to occasional queries. E.g. issue with one of toilets - flush buttons not working and water sometimes continued to run after flushing. (As the cleaning lady put it: âButtons kaput!â). Unfortunately, no plumber was available the week we were there, but as we had 2 other reliable toilets, not an issue for us.
The villa was well equipped; even made myself a smoothie with the Bosch blender for breakfast. Sharp knives, too!
Pool and surrounding area - just right! And pool cleaned regularly.
2 beaches nearby; however, the beach by the Tivoli hotel (5 minutes walk) remains inaccessible - you can get there, but the 1.5m almost sheer drop from rocks to beach isnât for everyone! The other beach (10 - 15 minutes walk) is very accessible, with a decent cafe alongside đ
The town of Carvoeira is easily walkable, with many many restaurants to suit all tastes - although return the journey up hill seemed to take a lot longer! A few small supermarkets in town, too; the larger Intermarche is less than 10 min drive away.
Excellent communication with hosts prior to arrival.
We had a lovely relaxing holiday - thank you.
This property is located close to beaches, the boardwalk and the town of Carvoeiro. But the house could use an update, in terms of furnishings (ex. Pool chair cushions are faded and stained). And the house is set up for a family, as one room has no AC and has Disney decor. We did not travel with kids, so an adult in that room was awkward. Also, we noticed ants in the kitchen. Pool is nice and seemed well maintained.
We had a fantastic time! The house was great and was equipped with everything you could possibly need and very clean !! A very short walk to town and beautiful beaches, also
amazing restaurants! The host was very accommodating and gave great information about the town. I would definitely recommend this place!
The location of this spectacular traditional Portuguese home was absolutely perfect. My husband and I had the privilege to stay as guests at this peaceful and very clean and well maintained home. We where able to walk to the beach and to the city square very easily. Centrally located to be able to explore all around the Algarve region. There was someone to meet us at the time of arrival to show us around the property and also answer any questions. The cleaning was immaculate and thorough. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to make gourmet meals at home including a fabulous BBQ area. The landscaping and the different pond settings where so peaceful and tranquil. We spent some days just relaxing at the home and around the grounds, it was that inviting! We honestly couldnât find anything to critique negatively it was just that perfect for us.
