Carvoeiro Paradise

Absolutely beautiful! The accommodation was 5 star all around. Jane was a wonderful host. She gave us many suggestions. The area is just gorgeous. You really should visit. Highly recommended. There is a mini market across the street. Also a spa for nails, facials, massage run by Francisca whois a delight. Restaurants within a five minute or less walk.

Wonderful Holiday

We are a family of four with 10 year old twins. Jane's home was perfect for us and had everything we needed. Having the garden is definitely an added bonus. Any questions were dealt with efficiently and she gave us lots of ideas for family friendly restaurants and excursions. Carverio and the surrounding area is breathtakingly beautiful and the house is only a short walk from the centre and the beach. We hope to return again.

Much needed break during the COVID pandemic

This is a fantastic house really well equipped in a beautiful location. Jane couldn't have been more helpful in arranging our booking at very short notice. The proximity to both the beach and the centre of Carvoeiro is a big advantage and there are also some lovely restaurants on the complex. We will definitely be back.

A little piece of Paradise

Our stay in Monte Carvoiero was absolutely fantastic. The location of the unit is perfect with amenities directly across the street from us (small grocery store. Coffee shop, restaurant) and the main townsite is within a 10 minute walk from the unit. The house itself is very well appointed with modern kitchen, lovely bedrooms. Bathrooms & living & dining areas along with a lovely back yard. We found a gym/exercise classes close by (at the Tennis Club) which worked out great. We have only positive things to say about our month in this beautiful part of the world. Thank you Jane for opening up your home to us.

Great family base for Carvoeiro

The house and location exceeded my expectations in many ways. Spacious house with everything you could need for a comfortable stay- we ate in just as much as we ate out! Lovely indoor and outdoor dining areas with a BBQ pit for more cooking options! The owner kindly provided beach towels, bucket/spade, beach umbrella, pool noodle, ball which were really appreciated. Air conditoning in bedrooms made the stay more comfortable for sleeping on hot nights. The property is so well located for free street parking outside, short stroll to the resort supermarket, pool, and central restaurants/bars. Carvoeiro town is about 5 min walk away. Being located out of the busy centre, it is easier to access local roads to get away on excursions. Owner Jane was excellent communicating before our trip with information about the property and area. She couldn't have been any more helpful . I would highly recommend this holiday rental for a memorable holiday base.

Great Location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Mima. The location in Carvoeiro was great and Carvoeiro itself was a good base to explore the Algarve and its coastline. The boardwalk and coastal hiking trails in each direction of Carvoeiro were highlights for us. Jane was very helpful, providing us with lots of recommendations for activities and restaurants. She was very quick to respond to all enquiries. We had a minor issue with the cleanliness of the unit when we first arrived and Jane was on it immediately. Thanks Jane for sharing your home away from home with us. We had a great time!

About the host

Hosted by Jane Sunnucks

We are a family of four that have been visiting Monte Carvoeiro for over 20 years, with and without children. The house has been decorated to our own taste as when we go anywhere we expect lovely, pretty surroundings, good beds and a wonderful place to relax and enjoy. We love the fact that you can walk everywhere and that the extensive fresh food restaurants and lovely wines can be enjoyed without worrying about driving home.
Our children are now 21and 24 and we have enjoyed taking them at every age as the whole place is very child friendly for all ages and we look forward to allowing them to go on their own with their friends in a few years time.
We particularly enjoy the beauty of the beaches and can recommend many and the pool allows you to relax if you want a day off from the sand!

Why they chose this property

We just love our house for the convenience for everything, the cool space is bigger than newly built properties. It has charm and character and has beautiful gardens with a wonderful cobbled square that is surrounded by restaurants within 2 minutes walk through the cobbled garden paths and the pool is just at the end of the winding path within under a minute.
It is positioned within a 5 minute walk from the village which allows a little more exclusivity.
