NEW TOURIST TAX

As you may have seen on the news or in the press, Portugal has introduced a small Tourist Tax like some other European countries, which came into force in May 2024. It is collectable and payable by us directly to the Lagoa local council which encompasses Carvoeiro.

The fee for the tax applies throughout the year and is broken down into high and low season.
Low season between November 1st and March 31st - €1 per person per night
High season between April 1st and October 31st - €2 per person per night

The fee is capped at a maximum of 7 nights regardless of longer stays.
The fee is chargeable for any guest age 13 or above.

We will request the additional tax through the Vrbo website on or around the second payment. To calculate the correct fee, please let us know any guest aged 13 and above.

Everything was easy from checking in to checking out. The apartment was clean, comfortable, well appointed and tastefully decorated. The location is walking distance to grocery’s, great restaurants, shopping and the beach. The boardwalk was also just a short walk to enjoy a morning or evening walk and enjoy the sunset. We explored the Algarve region by car from this centrally located town. After going through many towns we were pleased we chose this great location, town and resort. We LOVED hiking the Seven Hanging Valleys.

Beautiful apartment in an excellent location

We stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of our Portugal holiday. Such a lovely apartment! Location was amazing. Close to town. It is a bit hilly so those with mobility issues might have difficulty but that’s true for everywhere in Europe. Comfortable beds, nice living space and kitchen. Chris and Vanessa are excellent hosts.
