The lift broke down and we were stuck in there for an hour with my elderly father and two young children. Couldn't use the lift for rest of the trip that made it inconvenient for my elderly father. They have had problems before and they should have warned us. TV wasn't working for most part so not great for kids or father in the downtime. Otherwise everything else

Simply the Best

We have enjoyed holidays at Casa Amarela for a number of years and it remains our favourite holiday destination. From the moment you step into the Pent House you have everything you need for a perfect holiday. There is an excellent rap around balcony with a large dining area and plenty of room for the 4 large sunbets plus a perfect view of the sea. Inside you can enjoy the beautiful lounge and a very well equipped kitchen. Then there are two very comfortable bedrooms each with their own shower. There are shops, cafes and excellent restaurants all within walking distance and a lovely beach, great for everyone to enjoy. We are already booked again for next year.

Fabulous!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful penthouse and made great use of the fantastic terrace where we spent our days relaxing!! We found some lovely restaurants and enjoyed a little exploring of the coastline. The house exceeded our expectations on all levels, it was very well equipped and had everything that we needed for a great stay. Communication with Rennie leading up to our stay was very easy and we had all the information we needed well ahead of our arrival. It was lovely to meet Laura the property manager too who was only too helpful. We would 100% return!!

Lovely apartment

Enjoyed our week. Apartment was beautifully light and well equipped. The balcony/terrace is the USP though. Really big and gets the sunlight from dawn til say 7/8pm. Gabby the rentals manager was friendly and helpful. Would happily stay there again. The only downside is the cost of holidaying in Portugal. For a 2 bed apartment without a pool we paid just over £1500 for 1 week. Plus eating out in Portugal is also v expensive.. Think we'll be trying Greece or Turkey next year.

Casa Amarela, our favourite place to stay x

We have been enjoying our stays at Casa Amarela in Carvoiero for more than ten years and would highly recommend it. The apartment is in the most amazing central location with views of the sea. Step outside and you are in the centre of Carvoiero with wonderful restaurants, bars and shops in fact everything you could want is on the doorstep. The apartment itself is perfect with it’s rap around balcony, outside dining and perfect sunbathing areas. Both bedrooms and the lounge have air conditioning and there’s a great kitchen providing everything you need for a perfect holiday. Needless to say we have already booked our stay for 2024. 😎

An amazing pent house apartment

This is our third time staying at the wonderful penthouse apartment. Everything was up to its usual high standard, beautifully clean ( thank you Olga). and very well equipped. We had all our meals out on the balcony looking at the sea, who could wish for more. There are some lovely restaurants close by, with the sky bar just opposite, where you can have a drink while watching the sun go down . We thoroughly recommend this apartment, you will not be disappointed.

A wonderful peaceful week in a beautiful, well appointed apartment.

I have been taking holidays in Carvoeiro since the 1980s. I have stayed in hotels, villas and apartments. This is undoubtedly the best appointed apartment I have stayed in. Very central location - which is a big bonus in times more out of season, though I think some people may find it a noisy venue in mid summer. Very close to the beach, & easy walking distance to many restaurants. The owner & property manager were both really helpful. I just loved my stay in this wonderful apartment, and cannot wait to hopefully stay there again.

The Perfect Place

We have just returned from our annual holiday in Carvoeiro and the wonderful Casa Amarela which is without doubt the perfect place to stay. It was our 7th time of staying at Cassa Amarela and it’s always the highlight of our holiday. From the beautiful large wrap around veranda to the truly excellent interior it has everything you need. There’s a large well equipped kitchen, two lovely bedrooms with extremely comfortable beds, two very modern bathrooms plus a large relaxing lounge . Breakfast every morning on the large veranda with the great sea views it the perfect way to start your day . There are also four large sunbeds on the veranda for relaxing in the sun. It’s unique location just adds to your holiday with the beach only a stones throw away. Great restaurants, shops and even a couple of small supermarkets are all within walking distance. The apartment manager is available if needed and the lovely owner Rennie will make sure that you have everything you need. Just don’t miss the chance to stay in this beautiful Penthouse… We’ve already arranged for our stay next year.

Return to Carvoeiro

We have been visiting Carvoeiro over a long period of time and have stayed in many lovely places but this apartment was one of the best. It is so central to everything just a short walk to beach, shops and restaurants. The apartment has everything you need to relax and enjoy your holiday . We booked pre COVID and with the airbridge decision being touch and go Rennie could not have been more flexible and understanding, she was helpful and very responsive. Our time flew by. When we next return to Carvoeiro we would stay here in a heartbeat.

Perfect location- in the heart of it all in Carvoeiro centre. We have visited this property twice now, everything you need is there, beach towels, ice box, parasol, beach chairs. The apartment is kept spotlessly clean, we had a 9 day stay this occasion, only wish we could have had longer! the apartment is in demand though. We had change of towels whilst there, & the apartment was cleaned half way through our stay. Beds comfortable - lovely walk-in showers ( 2 bathrooms)

First time in Carvoeiro. What a jem.

The booking was very straightforward with Renne. She told us everything we needed to know to make our trip as easy and enjoyable as possible. We asked about a possible airport transfer to and from the apartment and this was even not a problem for her with a little more information. The transportation was excellent also. If you read all the great reviews about the penthouse then yes, we agree with all those before us. Their description of the accommodation is very accurate. Perfect for us in almost every way. The Town is excellent. The beach was brilliant and the bars/restaurants /supermarkets /shops are in abundance. A 6 euros uber taxi will get you to the aldi supermarket for all your needs and it is far cheaper than the supermarkets in the town. But essentials are always available in the local shops. There are lots of bars and restaurants to suit every taste and budget. Excellent pizza takeaway a minutes walk left out from the apartment, left up the next back street and you're there. Pizzas to die for and cheap. Jomar snackbar/restaurant just a little further up the same street. Great food for little money. Go out of the main square up the side streets and find little jems of place to eat and drink for little money. And they really appreciate you.. We look forward to to going back to the penthouse at some point and certainly back to Carvoeiro..

Superb Apartment

This is a really excellent property and I would highly recommend it to anyone to stay here. It was immaculately clean ( thank you Olga for looking after us), very well equipped with everything you could need and beautifully furnished and finished. Central location in the town of Carvoeiro is ideal with lovely views over the town and out to the sea. The huge balcony/terrace is the selling feature of this apartment and we spent so much time on there just soaking up the sun, enjoying the view and listening to the live music below in the evenings. The outdoor seating was great for meals with optional shade available with the very nice mechanical sun blinds - plenty of room for the sunloungers with comfortable cushions as well. We loved the terrace. The booking process was easy and efficient with Rennie and Rob who manages the villa was helpful and pleasant. All in all, 100% for this apartment and we may definitely return in the future.

The Perfect Place

We have just returned from our 10 day holiday in the wonderful town of Carvoeiro where we were very lucky to have stayed in the beautiful Casa Amarela Penthouse apartment. There’s no doubt that staying there was the highlight of our holiday as it offered us 5 star accommodation in a perfect location. From the beautiful and very large wrap -around veranda to the truly excellent interior, the owner Rennie has made Casa Amarela the perfect place to stay. There is an extremely well equipped kitchen with absolutely everything you need , two lovely bedrooms with extremely comfortable beds and two beautiful bathrooms , one of which is the en-suite to the main bedroom. There is a very large lounge and dining area but of course the beautiful veranda is the place to dine whilst enjoying the wonderful sea view. There is also a private lift to the apartment which, for the less fit of us, is perfect. We have stayed in apartments and villas in the past but nothing has compared to the high quality of Casa Amarela. It’s unique location in the very centre of Carvoeiro certainly adds to your stay as there are numerous excellent restaurants and cafes within walking distance . The apartment manager is available if needed and the lovely Olga pops in to take care of it all a couple of times in the week and an amazing job she does to. ( thank you Olga ) Needless to say, we have already booked for next year as it was such a love.y holiday. Thank you Rennie .

Fantastic apartment...but one niggle

Stayed for two weeks in May/June, fantastic apartment, brilliant location, very close to amenities. Very clean during our stay and Olga the cleaner was very pleasant and kept the apartment very clean, even tidied our shoes by the door :) Unfortunately we didn’t get the weather to enjoy the balcony at its best, better luck next time. Our only niggle was that the lift to the apartment was out of order when we arrived, it was fixed a week later but unfortunately only worked for one day before breaking down again and remained unfixed for our holiday duration. Walking up the stairs was fine but a bit inconvenient as we were on a golfing holiday and had to carry our golf bags up and down the stairs each time we played.

Totally unique property

We had a fantastic 8 days staying here. The photos look amazing but the property is even better when you arrive. Opening the blinds to a stunning view and an amazing terrace simply takes your breath away. Carvoeiro is a lovely resort with beautiful coastal walks and an abundance of good restaurants. The penthouse has everything you need and is immaculately clean. The shape of the building feels like you are in a lighthouse or windmill and Rennie and Bert have really added some lovely furniture and quirky little things like butterflies and sea shells to make the place look very magical indeed. Overall we had a lovely week of mostly good weather and spent a lot of time on the terrace both during the day and when returning after a lovely meal in one of the many good restaurants. Don’t hesitate to book you won’t be disappointed and we hope to return soon.

Great Location

Stayed at Casa Amarela for the month of November, principally to walk some of the fabulous Algarve coastline. The apartment in Carvoeiro is ideally situated for this, and is also central to many other area's of interest, including Silves, Loule, Monchique and Sagres. The apartment was very nice and spacious, and fully equipped including BBQ and sunbeds, ideal for up to 2 couples or a small family.

A Gem in Carveoiro!

Just returned from a 10 day holiday in this Penthouse Apartment. The photos do not do it justice, such a spacious and beautifully furnished property! The views over the town and the beach are marvellous. When you are sat on the terrace and in the apartment itself, it is a little oasis above the hustle and bustle of this delicious resort. The streets are a delight to explore and lots of lovely food to be had in the many restaurants. But if you wish to dine at home, there is everything you need in the well equipped kitchen. Great weather, a beautiful beach and attentive hosts made this a holiday to remember. We hope to return again in the near future.

About the host

Hosted by Rennie

Host profile image
Hi My name is Rennie.
I am together with my husband the Owner of Beautiful Casa Amarela. In 1999 My Husband bought Casa Amarela. He fell in love with the place immediately. Due to circumstance he was forced to sell Casa Amarela in 2001. He has always terribly much regretted it. But when in May 2015 we discovered that Casa Amarela was for sale again, we didn’t hesitate a second!
We hope you will enjoy and love this place as much as we do.
Once staying here, you will be back, just like us.

Kind regards,

Rennie
