Fantastic Villa

Superb villa in prime location. The climb up to the villa is testing during the heat of the day and for those with restricted mobility.

Wonderful vacation

We arrived a little before checkin and arranged to drop off our bags and met the property manager who was so kind and thoughtful. The house is very unique and everyone had their own space. The roof top was super cool and great place to hang out at night. The pool was great for a chill day! We were all super happy with the villa. The town of Carvoeiro was everything we wanted. There were 3 families and we never had a problem getting a reservation or just walking in! There is a big hill but you find ways to work around it and great for a little cardio after all that gelato! Would not hesitate to return here if ever given the opportunity.

Tolles Haus mit viel Platz

Wir hatten eine tolle Woche. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und sauber. In den Küchen ist alles vorhanden was wir gebraucht haben. Sowohl zum Bäcker und Supermarkt, als auch zum Strand bzw an die Küste sind es nur ein paar Minuten zu Fuß. Besonders gut hat uns die Aussicht auf den Sonnenuntergang vom Balkon gefallen.

fantastic stay

There was a mixture of 12 adults and children and 1 baby We had a fantastic time . Property is in a great location only minutes from beach ,restaurants and bars . A little bit difficult getting back as it is on a steep hill . Host Isabella was lovely . A really great place to stay . The only reason i didnt give 5 stars is the bedrooms dont have air conditioning apart from that eveything was perfect

Villa for family holiday

This villa was just perfect for our family holiday . It’s roomy and bright with lovely areas outside for us all to use . We could walk into the village and have fun as a group around the pool as well . It’s well appointed so we didn’t struggle to make meals for large numbers . We all agreed it was a fabulous place to stay and would love to stay in the villa again . Whoever has the large jeep vehicle who parks either side of the drive , thus blocking the use of the driveway could be asked to park elsewhere . We had to stop using the drive because of the limited access and exiting . Luckily we had somewhere to go to on the last day as we had to leave at 10 am . Perhaps not being asked to vacate before 10 am would be nice . All in all just great . A great holiday villa in Carvoeiro .

Great villa with plenty of space and superb location

We were a party of 12 and we had a fantastic experience at the villa...so much so that we will be booking again for next year. Location was spot on! Just a couple of minutes walk to beach, bars, restaurants and shops and beautiful walks along the cliffs. Theres a lovely boardwalk along the cliffs which is great if you have children in pushchairs. This leads to a fabulous little beach bar that serves outstanding food! Without a pushchair you can explore for miles along the cliff paths and the scenery is beautiful. Fantastic place and highly recommended!

Perfect.

14 people, 3 generations age range from 67 to 9 altogether for 14 days and not one disagreement. A miracle. The villa was spacious and clean. The pool was cleaned at least 5 times during our stay (after each clean we had to stay out for an hour so a bit inconvenient). The beach and town centre, although only a 5 minute walk, was down a very steep slope, so maybe not recommended for anyone with mobility problems but the taxis and ubers were not expensive. I myself, the eldest of our group had to stop for a rest half way, but thought the calories burned allowed me to drink more wine. so worth it. the first week the weather was perfect, the second week got hotter and hotter so the pool was welcome. The housekeeper was lovely and friendly and at the end of the phone to answer any queries and was very helpful when my son was taken ill.

The property was exactly what we needed and exactly how it was described.

Beautifully situated within really close proximity to shops & restaurants. We got a taxi from the village to the nearest large supermarket on the first day to get all the main supplies and shopped locally after that. We opted not to have a car which was probably a wise decision because there would have been no parking on the street and the entrance to the driveway was blocked the entire week by a van! We used the pool every day and bbq frequently. Such an amazing venue and property for a family of 13 with 5 children. We loved it.

Birthday Celebrations

We were 3 generations of the family celebrating a significant birthday. The villa was perfect, well equipped and spacious, and so convenient for the beach, restaurants and shops. The driveway was a challenge as was the walk up the hill from the town but nothing we could not manage. The pool was well used by all the family. We visited Slide and Splash and Zoo marine during the week and some hired pedalos and kayaks at the beach.Isabella was on hand if we needed her. Would recommend the villa as a perfect extended family holiday.

Summer 2013

We had a lovely family holiday here. The villa was a very good size and we chose it on the basis that it was near the beach and all the facilities. Also we were expecting it to be noisy at night but that was not the case. The villa itself was nice and spacious. As the villa was split into two, it was perfect for the two families. But only the top floor had a dishwasher which didnt bother us too much as we ate out every night! Also we could have done with a few more wine glasses as they were very limited and a spare cork screw as we only had one !! Not that we like a drink lol! James the owner called in most days to check the pool and was very friendly and helpful, recommending good restaurants to go to. A perfect villa for families who like to be near the beach. Also no need for a car if you want to keep the costs down as we got good transfers from the airport and local supermarkets 5 minutes walk.
