We spend a very nice week in the house . It is well equipped, very clean and really well done. We enjoy the swimming pool and the diner on the terrace. Easy to go to all the famous places with our car. Carveiro center is at 20 mn by foot and you have plenty of bars and restaurants
The villa was amazing and had everything we needed. We arrived and there was a wonderful welcome pack which was much appreciated. We were two families of 4 with teenage children. The pool area was great, and the table tennis entertained all of us. Itâs good that each room has access to its own bathroom so no arguments when trying to get ready to go out. The air con worked well, and we loved the coffee machine. I bought a box of capsules from the UK but there were some already there when we arrived. Thhe pictures donât do it justice.Communication before we arrived and with the agent was brilliant. We couldnât work out how to open the bike shed and they came following day to show us. Used the bikes a couple of times but most of the time we walked. We would walk to the big supermarket (around 20 mins) and would then get an uber back with all the shopping or would walk back if we could carry it. There is a local restaurant on the way back that was very reasonable if you get thirsty. You can walk to the local restaurants of Caraveiro and the beach. 15-20 mins. Plenty of nice places to eat. I would definitely return again.
We had the best time staying here. Location is great and we could easily walk into the town.Communication was very easy, and we were able to check in early.We were 2 families staying here with 4 young children and the pool was perfect- we spent a lot of time enjoying it! It was well equipped with everything we needed and we didnât expect it to be cleaned during our stay! We would love to stay here again :)
What a fabulous villaâŠ.really comfortable and everything as described. Communication was excellent throughout with Gaby. The location is perfect and the area is lovely. Would recommend! A wonderful bonus having the villa cleaned twice ⊠never had this before when booking a villa
Overall a very good stay. One bedroomâs aircon system was broken and a portable system was provided, although this did not cool the room sufficiently. New aircon unit was fitted on the Thursday of our stay. Pool recirc system also tripped out midweek and it was switched back on the Friday afternoon. Alarm went off twice for no apparent reason. All small niggles, without effecting the overall enjoyment of our stay. We have stayed here 4 times now and have always found communication with Rose and David exceptionally easy. The distance from the villa to the centre of Carvoeiro a problem for myself now at 70 however a taxi back up the hill very reasonable at 4 - 7 euros. Overall, lovely villa with spacious grounds, nice pool and table tennis table. All in all, great for a quiet family holiday
We had a lovely time at the villa, it was very well equipped and plenty of room to spread out. We really enjoyed using the pool and having the water heated makes a great difference. The property was really clean and tidy, and we would definitely recommend a stay here. Plenty of good bars and restaurants in the local town- about a 20minute walk.
All our party loved this villa and consider ourselves so lucky to experience staying here. Our only disapointment is that we are unable to book it again next year, as all school holiday dates are already booked!
The villa is well maintained and is surrounded by mature gardens with a large variety of colourful plants and trees. A very peaceful and relaxing setting.
The kitchen is well equipped and it was a bonus having a second fridge iin the utility room along with the washing machine. All the bedrooms were spacious with plenty of storage and comforable beds. The bathrooms are all excellent and there was plenty of hot water.
The outside eating area is lovely and is cool throughout the heat of the day, only catching the setting sun for about an hour at the end of the day..
The 'icing on the cake' is the pool which we had heated even though we were staying in August. Lovely and warm whether we swam early or late. Luxury!The pool inflatables let by previous guests were a bonus.
This is a villa that has everything that we want!
Three excellent en-suite bedrooms plus one with a separate bathroom. Comfortable lounge and dining area and a well stocked kitchen with two fridges, plus washing facilities.
There is also a well stocked library which our 17 year old granddaughter took advantage of. Add to this an excellent swimming pool and outdoor area and close proximity to the town, supermarkets and golf and you can see why we are regulars at the villa!
Excellent location, fabulous villa and pool. We all had the most amazing time and are looking forward to returning. Our host even arrived on our check in day with a food parcel to get us started. Thank you
Lovely Villa with plenty of space both inside and out. Heated pool a real bonus but also many fabulous beaches nearby . Liked Carveiro town . Would come again.

We were a family of 6, all adults over 18. We really enjoyed the villa in particular the pool, and table tennis. As per listing and previous reviews it is about 15 min walk from the nearest shop and restaurants on the outskirts of the town. We found that fine most of the time - actually prefer the peace and quiet to being in town - but once or twice - in extreme heat, or late night we used Ăber to get home which is very cheap and available. Our group availed of par 3 golf, very close by, plus wine tasting also within 10/15 minutes by Uber.
The villa is lovely. All mod cons, really nice bathrooms in particular. The photos do not do it justice in my opinion. Thank you for everything. The cleaner/pool guy/Manager were all most helpful and attentive without being obtrusive.
Very happy with the villa, wonderful heated pool. Nice private bedrooms, well equipped kitchen and quiet location with nice spacious garden. Housekeeper was fabulous and property manager very responsive and quickly dealt with any minor issues. Highly recommended.
FĂŒr unsere Familie war das Objekt die perfekte Ferienvilla. Das charmante Haus bietet genĂŒgend Platz fĂŒr alle. Die Einrichtung ist eine gelungene Mischung aus traditionell kombiniert mit zeitgenössischem Komfort. Die KĂŒche ist fĂŒr alle Personen gut ausgestattet.Das GrundstĂŒck ist weitlĂ€ufig und das Haus von einem wunderschönen Garten umgeben. Besonders gut gefallen hat uns der separate Pool-Bereich zur Sicherheit der mitgereisten Kinder. Den beheizten groĂen Pool haben wir sehr genossen. Freundliche Mitarbeiter sorgten dafĂŒr das Haus, Garten und Pool wĂ€hrend der gesamten Zeiten in einem perfekten Zustand blieben.
Den hĂŒbschen Ferienort Carvaeiro erreicht man nach einem kurzen Spaziergang abwĂ€rts. Wer sich den beschwerlicheren Weg aufwĂ€rts sparen möchte, kann fĂŒr kleines Geld ein Taxi nehmen. Gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gibt es wenige Fahrminuten entfernt mit zahlreichen SupermĂ€rkten.
Der Kontakt zur Vermieterin und der vor Ort tÀtigen Betreuerin war freundlich und professionell. Die ganze Familie wird sich sicher lange an die herrlichen Urlaubswochen an der Algarve erinnern.
Very comfortable house, clean, nice garden and lovely pool! Good contact with manager and owner, very quick responses. A really good holiday home. Carvoeiro is a lovely village and closeby other villages in the Algarve.
So, why do we return year after year?
Answer - the villa completely satisfies our requirements for a great holiday.
Beautifully presented and maintained (love the new bathroom). Great maid and property manager who quickly respond to any issues/requests.
Safe, gated pool which is excellent for all ages.
Located close to supermarkets (5 mins in car) and the same to get to Carvoeiro centre though parking is hit and miss.
Ten minutes to a really good water park, 15 minutes to another and 20-/5 minutes to the excellent Zoomarine.
For golfers Pestana Pinta and Gramacho are a ten to 15 minute drive whilst Silves is less than 20 minutes away. All the three are excellent courses and have staged different Championships eg Portuguese Seniors, Portuguese Womenâs.
Add shopping at the Algarve centre, excellent beaches nearby(eg. Praia Grande which is great for children and has inflatableâs) and it is clear that all ages can be catered for nearby.
We have just returned today and already I am being hassled by the family to book again- what better recommendation can I give ?!
What a wonderful villa- beautifully kept and managed. We travelled with our adult children and their partners and enjoyed a week at the villa relaxing and visiting the area. We walked into town a few times getting a taxi back which cost 5 euros per taxi. There were eight of us but easily got two taxis when needed. Some of our group were happy to walk home though at the end of an evening. The villa was in an excellent position- quiet away from the crowds but close enough to everything. We enjoyed sea kayaking from Bengali beach, a super fast speed boat ride to see dolphins out of Lagos and the younger members of our group loved the nearby Slide and Splash park. The bbq was great and the villa equipped for all our needs. The cleaner came on Tuesday and Thursday and kept the place beautifully. The pool guy came during the week to keep that tip top too and we really enjoyed our time lazing around the pool. We paid for the pool to be heated and enjoyed it warm enough to get straight in without initial shock. We took a rental car (9seater) from the airport and found the villa easily. We were gutted to find that the villa is already booked out for our summer holiday period next year, but it is certainly one we would come back to and recommend- a wonderful find so thanks for such a super stay in such a fantastic home from home.
Fell in love with the Algarve around 20 years ago during family holidays with the kids. Now they are grown up its our time to enjoy this wonderful location and its brilliant climate. We picked Carvoeiro as it has the perfect balance of being busy but not too busy in peak season and quiet but not too quiet in the depths of winter.
We loved the space, the peace and quiet and the proximity to the bustling village of Carvoeiro. We have tried to upgrade the eco-friendliness of the villa without losing its authentic rustic charm and we hope to continually increase these efforts as funds become available. Solar panels on the roof heat all of the hot water while panels on the garden generate electricity. The external wall insulation and electric shutters lower the need for air-conditioning saving energy and offering a quieter more peaceful sleep. The gardens were created by professionals and a joy to see at any time of year.
