What more can you ask for? We had a great stay in Carvoeiro at Monte Dourado. The location was great - just a quick 10 minute walk to town, the beach, and restaurants. The pool and balcony were lovely. It was great to have 2 bathrooms for our family. Overall, everything was great.
We had a great time as a family of 4 in this apartment. Very spacious and well laid out, with views of the sea from the rooftop and pool area. Nice pool, busy at times, but still relaxing and a great place to either cool of or sunbathe.Air conditioning worked a treat.Close to centre of town (3 minutes downhill), which has plenty of places to eat and local supermarketsWe had a car, parking was plentiful, and found location great for exploring the local area.Would recommend this place, was exactly as described.
A lovely air conditioned apartment, pleasantly furnished with a very comfortable double bed. We very much enjoyed the large sunny balcony with it's lovely outlook over the pool and the sea. The roof terrace offered a great place for sun downers with its glorious views watching the sun set.
A possible negative for some is that the apartment is part of a reasonable size complex hosting a good number of people. Our time there was somewhat marred by large noisy groups sitting around our pool. Sad to say they were Brits. At times it was lovely and peaceful and at others it was very noisy with a lot of bad language being used. If you catch a period with reasonable people staying you will not be disappointed.
This was the best family holiday we have ever had, in no small part due to this apartment and its location. Carvoeiro is such a beautiful spot and this apartment is perfectly placed to enjoy everything it has to offer. Yes, there is a hill to climb, but we really enjoyed the walks up and down every day and didn't find this a problem at all. As for the apartment itself - the photos really don't do it justice. Spacious (plenty of space for a family of 5), well-equipped and amazing views. Swimming pools accessible and clean. Comfy beds. I could go on. If in any doubt, just book it, you won't regret it.
Goed en ruim appartement met alleen veel trappen tot de ingang.
Het interieur kan wel een goede update gebruiken.
Het park is geweldig.
Het was onze derde keer in het park.
We were unable to book a holiday until the last minute, by which time our first choice through Vrbo (a villa in Ferragudo we had stayed in last October) was gone. Having enjoyed a family holiday in Monte Dourado some years ago we decided on a return visit, to a significantly superior property.
As everyone mentions, the steep hill up from the village does provide a workout but well worth it. The photographs really do not tell the full story of this exceptional apartment, in particular the roof terrace is even better than it appears but the whole place is spacious and well presented.
The pool area is excellent and the sea views (and the sound of the waves either lapping or crashing onto the shore depending on the weather is a nice backdrop).
Every query was promptly and helpfully replied to by Sally, I have no doubt that any significant issues would be dealt with quickly. It was a pleasure staying in this very welcoming and comfortable home.
I shouldn't really say this but it seems to me that the price charged represents excellent value for money too.
Highly recommended, we would certainly check availability first when next we get a week off.
We've stayed at the Monte dourado resort many times over the last 15 years . This apartment with it's balcony overlooking the pool affords great sea views and although a steep road back lends itself to being accessible to the towns bars and restaurants.
We stayed for 7 nights at this lovely apartment. Communication with Sally before and during our stay was superb. The apartment is extremely comfortable and well equipped. The views are stunning and location to the town and beach really convenient and great to have the swimming pool right outside. We are sad to leave and hope to be back!
Stayed at Sallys apartment for a week, thoroughly enjoyed. Near to town (the hills keep the fitness ticking over đ). Beautifully furnished with a homely touch, great air-con which was very much needed. Prompt communication with small queries / questions. Would definitely consider a future stay. Would recommend đ
Spacious condo next to pool and short walk to town. The hill up from the village is steep - was a quite a lot for my 80 year old mom, but she did fine and wasn't a problem for anyone else. highly recommended!
This was our second visit to this apartment and we all had a great time. Very well located with beautiful sea/sunset views. Easy access to main pool and short walk into town but steep walk back. Comfortable and well equipped. Expect we will return as love Carvoeiro and the beaches nearby.
We started going to Monte Dourado, Carvoeiro in 2008. It was a last minute deal and we had never been to Portugal before. Since then we haven't been anywhere else! Monte Dourado is a stunning resort, ideally situated so that you are close to the bars and restaurants aswell as the beach, without being down in the noise of the town. The people are so friendly. It really is a beautiful place. Whenever we arrive, I feel the tension just drop away. It really is like coming home.
In addition to the standard two bedrooms that are provided by the apartments on Monte Dourado, we also have a beautiful, private roof terrace that boasts its own BBQ, sun loungers and dining area. Whether you want to soak up the sun during the day, or watch the stunning sun sets while finishing the day with a glass of Sangria, it really is a fantastic addition to the apartment. Recently we have installed free, high speed Wifi, which will enable you to stream from your own Netflix etc accounts.
