About Mike Carr
We have had the pleasure of living in Carvoeiro for a number of years and for us it´s one of the nicest areas of the Algarve. Emma is from York originally and we will leave Mike a mystery as everyone tries to guess the accent but not many get it right...so it would spoil the game if we told you :-) Before moving here 16 years ago Mike has been visiting Carvoeiro since 1985 and eventually made the move after retiring .Emma has been visiting Carvoeiro for 15 years and eventually made the move 7 years ago, not quite old enough to retire and very much enjoying the running of a property management business in the local area.
Why Mike Carr chose Carvoeiro
Casa Alto Mar is an old style Portuguese villa, the location is ideal for the beach, it was always meant to be a rental property and we have not met anyone that wouldn't want to wake up each morning to beautiful sea views from just outside their bedroom doors. The villa is a nice 20 minute walk to town and just a 5 minute walk to the beach, it´s situated in a quiet cul-de-sac away from any busy roads and it is perfect for a nice peaceful break.
What makes this villa unique
We believe the unique benefits of this property are the beautiful sea views from the terrace and the short walk down to the beautiful Centianes beach, it is a nice walk into town where you can enjoy everything Carvoeiro offers but back at the villa you can relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The villa is fantastic for a winter rental as the raised terrace is south facing and offers shelter so you can make the most of the sunshine all day, there is plenty of room for a couple of sun loungers on the raised terrace if you really want to relax.

Fabulous!!!
For a change we decided on a family holiday this year so we were looking for somewhere we could all stay. This villa is fantastic, a real gem, the room we (the grandparents) stayed in was separate from the rest of the villa in that it had it's own entrance, it was below the main residence so we had peaceful nights and were not woken up early by the grandkids. Everything you could possibly need is supplied (apart from food) even down to beach towels so more space in the suitcases for my shoes :-) The owner Mike is so friendly and helpful I felt like we had known him for years. I recommend this villa to everyone who is wanting to go to Portugal on holiday, it is in a quiet cul de sac but not isolated, a lovely beach is only a five minute walk away, shops are about a 15 minute walk. There is a hop on hop off bus if you are not up to the walk into town.
All in all it is a truly fabulous villa... if I could give more than 5 stars I would.
Another great hol at Altomar
A really well equipped villa for both adults and children. Ideal for families bringing grandparents: with the separate annexe we had a self-contained unit but were still part of the family.
The lockable access to the pool was a great reassurance with young children in the party.
Terrific evenings with the excellent barbecue adjacent to the pool area.
The plentiful supply of pool/beach towels is a very useful saving on travel weight.
Maid service is excellent - and unobtrusive. Mike and Emma were most attentive to our needs, with lots of suggestions about local attractions and amenities.
The nearby Centianes beach is clean, unspoilt and has an excellent restaurant. The Mona Lisa restaurant near the villa is very useful for take-aways and eating in.
Carvoeiro itself is within walking distance and we found plenty of good restaurants and souvenir shops. Its little train is a great way to explore the local area. Plenty of boat trip opportunities too. Like Centianes, this is also a good, safe beach.
Altomar is an ideal base to explore and enjoy a stay in the Algarve.
Excellent Villa for a family holiday
Casa Alto Mar is perfect for a family holiday. It is very well equipped, and very spacious. The villa is very clean and the pool is great.
Absolutely fantastic Villa. The sea view from terrace was enchanting.
The owner Mike is very friendly and helpful to us and he was there when we arrived.
Thanks to Mike who made us feel very welcome in his house.
Hope to see you again Mike
I Can strongly recommend this beautiful villa.
Perfect vacation
We spent two fantastic weeks at Casa Alto Mar. The house was perfect size for us, a family of 5 + my parents who joined us for one of the weeks. Traveling with children there are some things that need to be in place to get a truly relaxing holiday - wifi, pool, aircon & a well equipped kitchen. Casa Alto Mar has it all and on top of that the ocean view and a 5 minute walk to one of Algarve's finest beaches. We were positively surprised to find that the extra bedroom used by my parents had a separate entrance. Special thanks to Mike for the friendly reception and some good advice on what to do in Carvoeiro. We are not in the habit of repeating ourselves when picking our vacation destinations but this place might just change our minds. Thanks!
Excellent first stay at Casa Alto Mar
The property is in an excellent location, a short walk from the centre of town. It is on a very select, small cul de sac of only a handful of properties and as such is very peaceful. The villa is very well equipped with all potential needs catered for and very clean and well maintained. It has a lovely layout with the bedrooms & bathrooms being behind doors down a corridor. Exceptionally helpful and considerate owners live nearby. The sea view from the covered cool terrace was enchanting. We had a wonderful two weeks and made the most of the 9m pool, which had easy step access/egress. An excellent villa.
Stunning Villa
A wonderful 11 days spent at Casa Alto Mar, our fourth visit to Portugal but first to this villa. We can highly recommend staying in this property and hope to return ourselves soon. Clean and spacious villa with everything you need. Fantastic sea view from the terrace where were we enjoyed many relaxed breakfasts prior to a swim in the beautiful private pool. Just a 10 minute stroll to Centianes beach (a stunning postcard perfect beach with good facilities - restaurant, toilets, canoes, boating cave trips) and 20 minutes to Carvoeiro (so many lovely places to eat and vibrant atmosphere on an evening). Other than the fantastic villa which is hard to leave, we would recommend visiting Slide and Splash water park, Albufera and the annual sand Fiesta in Pera). Thanks to Mike and Emma who were always on hand and made us feel very welcome.
Map
Casa Altomar is in Vale de Centianes, a 5 minute walk to the beach and a 20 minute stroll into Carvoeiro, a small picturesque fishing village with a great selection of cafés, bars and restaurants. The centre has a variety of shops, fantastic for hunting down local souvenirs. Ideal for families and couples, with a number of sandy beaches it's easy to lose yourself in the beautiful surroundings, alternatively take a trip to the local water park (5 minute drive) or enjoy 18 holes on some of the best golf courses in Europe (Pestana is only a 10 minute drive away).
Nearest Airport: Faro - 50km.
Nearest Beach - 300m (5 minute walk).
Nearest Supermarket - Intermarche - 5 minute drive, there is a smaller shop ideal for fresh bread/croissants which is a 10 minute walk.
Car recommended but not essential, we have had a lot of guests who have not hired a car.
