Carvoeiro apartment description

Casa das Primas can offer you a holiday in tranquil surroundings, with open views of the countryside and the sea beyond yet less than a 10 minute walk from the local market, beach, shops and restaurants. Two high-quality studio apartments with private entrances and patios are available for rental, which have recently been upgraded. Both share the architecturally designed water garden and large swimming pool. The ponds in the water garden abound with water lilies, enlivened by ornamental fish, frogs and turtles. The special Koi pond fed by a waterfall makes for a soothing and sensational holiday. We also offer you personal attention at all times, if required. Evening meals are available on request at reasonable rates if you should tire of the restaurant scene. Book early to avoid disappointment.

Details of studio apartments: Each of the two apartments has a separate private entrance, and each has their own patio or terrace area. Each apartment is fully furnished and the kitchens are fully equipped with all the necessary appliances, crockery and cutlery. Casa das Primas offers their clients an outdoor secluded, shared, swimming pool with umbrellas and sun beds. A perfect setting to relax and get away from it all. There is private parking on the premises. Faro Airport is approximately a 50-minute drive from Casa das Primas. The property is owned and managed by Charles Every, assisted by his daughter, Vanessa de Beer.

Car Hire, taxi transfer & local information.: For guests wishing to rent a car, there are a number of local car hire firms offering very competitive rates, with efficient and personal service. You can collect your car at Faro Airport. A taxi can also be reserved from Faro Airport to bring you to Casa das Primas. The cost is approximately 80 Euros, however alternative arrangements can be made should you require this service at a cheaper rate. The journey usually takes approximately 50 minutes. .
There are over 100 restaurants/bars in Carvoeiro and surrounding areas. A mini market 100 metres from Casa das Primas can supply all the basic requirements. There are a number of excellent walks around the cliffs and village. Casa das Primas is very centrally situated with easy access for any activity. The villa is extremely quiet and peaceful in spite of its close proximity to the centre of Carvoeiro.

Area Description and sport: The Algarve is a region renowned for its wonderful sunny climate, miles of golden pristine beaches, either long stretches of beach or intimate little coves with stunning rock formations. The sea is azure blue and mostly clear. The Algarve has an average of 3000 hours of sunshine per year. It has virtually no rain during the summer months. February is the start of spring, with October being very mild and warm. The Algarve has many sporting attractions. Golf is a very popular sport, as well as many water sports, tennis, horse-riding, walking and biking. . Water parks, Zoo marine, and the historical castle in Silves are all 10 - 30 minutes away by car from the villa.

This is our second visit to this little haven and once again it has been fantastic. Everything is perfect from the views to the location, facilities and hosts. The apartment has everything you will need in the kitchen plus tv, dvd, sky box, aircon, large powerful shower, three terraces, comfy beds, bbq, pool, jacuzzi, gym, lovely gardens, shops, and beach and restaurants all a short stroll away!! Vanessa is an amazing cook (and my 4 year old son has insisted I put, "she makes lots and lots of lovely food" - and together with Terry and Charles make this place so special. We will certainly be back!

Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.

Owner response: We really enjoy having our clients return like old friends, which we value enormously.This makes it all worthwhile! We love meeting new clients and like to think that they will return too one day.

Once again a fantastic holiday - booked again for next year! Carvoiero is beautiful with so many wonderful places to visit nearby. This time we ate in most nights as Vanessa's cooking is awesome and the menu extensive - we particulalrly love her South African dishes. Eating out at night on the veranda overlooking the gardens, fish ponds and the sea beyond was bliss. Can't recommend Casa das Primas and the hosts Vanessa and Terry highly enough..... and can't wait to go back next year!

Firstly we would like to say what a wonderful stay we had in the Penthouse Apartment at Casa Primas The apartment was so bright and airy, it had everything in it that you could possibly need whilst on holiday and more! It also had Sky TV and a DVD player. Vanessa was a brilliant host and made sure everything was perfect for us during our stay. The whole apartment was spotless and so much storage space. The garden looked beautiful and so well kept by Charles, we spent many days looking out to it, watching the fish and admiring all the pretty colours. The town is easily reached, within a 5 minute walk you can be in the heart of it. There are many restaurants and bars to choose from you won’t be able to get around them all! We would definitely recommend anyone to stay at Casa Primas, although I would prefer to keep it a secret.This is our twelfth stay in Carvoeiro and without a doubt this is by far the best place we have stayed. We have already booked for two visits in 2013. Can’t wait for our return, see you soon.

Best chilled, relaxed and peacefull holiday ever. This was a hidden gem. Accomdation excellent well maintained. The surroundings and gardens were breathtaking. Host Vanessa Terry and Charles were very welcoming and helpful, quite location but only five to ten mins walk to centre with a good variety of bars and restaurants.Lovely resort, the only down side for me was it is rather hilly. Must not forget to mention Vanessa s home cooking highly recommended. We will be returning and would recommend to friends and family

We love Carvoiero - this being our fourth consecutive holiday here. However, this is the first as a couple as our three 'children' (26, 21 and 19) have flown the nest. Previously we have stayed in Villas in the area. This is, however, the best place we have stayed and is PERFECT for a couple in terms of location, hosts, accommodation, facilities and environnment ............ so much so that we have already booked for a three week stay next year! Sad to leave ................ looking forward, very much, to returning! Love it!

Great, very spacious, self catering apartment with everything you could need on your visit to Carvoeiro. Not one but two balconies with terific views across the town and out to sea. And also looking onto their superb garden with all the frogs, fish and koi ponds. Very welcoming hosts in Vanessa and Terry, made us feel right at home, knowing that they were there when and if we required any info or help. The property is in a nice quiet area but is only a very short stroll into the centre of town to all the bars and restaurants. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

The Penthouse apartment was amazing, it was in a perfect location and had everything you needed for a relaxing holiday. The views were excellent from the balcony, overlooking beautiful laid out gardens with amazing fish ponds which is all down to Charles. It is only a short walk to the beach and near to lots of good restaurants, Vanessa was a tremendous host. I would highly recommend to friends and family and will look forward to returning and sampling Vanessas home cooking.
