About 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 16 and 19 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!
Jane Sunnucks purchased this Villa in 2001
Why Jane Sunnucks chose Carvoeiro
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.

Notes
- Notes on The house is an end of terrace and is therefore larger than the average build. If you decided not to hire a car we would be able to suggest a transfer from the airport. There are a large selection of restaurants within walking distance that offer a variety of dishes and provide Portuguese gastronomy to Italian, Dutch, British, Thai, Chinese and Indian Cuisine. The position of the villa makes walking to Carvoieiros strongest attraction, its unspoilt beaches a real bonus and of course it's also within easy reach to local shopping with supermarkets and shops all within 5 mins walking distance Slide and splash is 10 minutes away . Portamao 20 minutes Outside: The patio area is quite private and in the sun most of the time which creates a nice place to sunbathe, and has everything to enjoy alfresco living, including a coal BBQ. The garden is pretty and benefits with extra space as it is end of terrace. The house is conveniently located close to the pool. From the house you can walk to a small Ali super supermarket which just adds to the overall convenience of our property .

Lovely spacious Villa
Lovely spacious villa with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The outside space is private and a good place to relax after a busy day at the beach or by the pool, both are close by. Perfect location. Excellent communication with Jane the owner. I would highly recommend staying there.
Loved staying in Casa Mima it was so close to everything and spotlessly clean
What a lovely area to stay in Portugal - there was so much to do and enjoy. The complex is very pretty and we would recommend it highly
Fabulous holiday in Carvoeiro
Had a fabulous holiday in Casa mima, Carvoeiro. The house is in a great location, and has everything you could ask for. The pool is literally round the corner, with the town and beach no more than a 10 minute walk away. It made our first holiday away with our 7 month old grandaughter, daughter and son-in-law a total success with great memories - Thanks Jane
FANTASTIC!
Brilliant villa! Perfect location for everything! Jane is a lovley owner with brilliant communication. Very well looked after villa with alot of extras. Can not wait to book for next year.
Thanks again
Fabulous holiday in a great location!
We have just returned from week at the villa and it is fabulous. It is a real home from home, with everything that you need for a holiday. Jane was a great host and kept really good contact both on the lead up to and during the holiday.
The villa is in a great location, with easy access to the pool. It is about 5 minutes walk to the beach, although this is quite steep on the way back up. The area is lovely, with some great little restaurants.
I would definitely recommend and would love to visit again the future.
Great apartment in a great location!
Just back from a fab holiday in Carverio. The apartment was very spacious with everything you need and walkable to everything, we really liked the large light and airy bedroom upstairs. Jane was also really helpful, very accommodating and easy to reach. We went to lots of the beaches, the coastline is stunning and also used the hop on hop off bus that goes from right outside the apartment. We got it up the Trovolli sky bar which has amazing views and cocktails! Lots of lovely places to eat locally, also the broad walk is a really lovely walk. My daughter is 10 and was constantly occupied with the beaches, pool, slide and splash and tennis just down the road. Would definitely recommend both the apartment and Carveofor a brilliant holiday with loads to do for both adults and kids!
Map
Special interest holidays:
If you are a keen cyclist we can discuss the option to include bikes for your holiday as it is a sport we enjoy. This area of Portugal is demanding, the roads are good quality and there are a selection of great hills that can push your fitness. The scenery is spectacular.
Tennis/Fitness club is also within 3 minutes drive and we can also discuss lessons/bookings etc as we can get a good discount.The fitness club is partucuarly good offering aerobics, power hour, zumba, etc with great enthusiastic teachers. Within the club is a pool, coffee shop and gym.
Coast/Beach:
Town and beautiful beaches are all within 5/10 mins easy walking distance with caves to adventure into. The town has been redeveloped to promote less traffic as its quite small and quaint, it has been tastefully cobbled which adds to its fishing village charm. During the summer there are little stalls and live music by the beach in the evenings. We have also experienced beaches just on the West Coast which are exhilerating if you like the waves, about 45 minutes drive.
Beautiful walks directly from the house
Travel:
Faro airport is 40 minutes away. Car hire is not essential as our villa is so conveniently positioned and we can organise car pick up to villa if required. If you dont mind driving, to save on cost, also look at flying to Lisbon...the drive down takes about 2 hours on a new motorway.
We can help advise you on car hire etc depending on what type of holiday you are looking for.
Distances:
Lagoa 5 mins drive, only another 5/10 minutes to Silves with its medieval cathedral and castle and historic market.
Lagoa wine district 5 minutes - see how wine is made.
West Coast Beaches 45 minutes - great surf.
Slide and Splash - 10 minutes in the car.
Monchique Spa - 25 minutes.
Tennis and fitness club - less that 3 mins drive.
Golf Clubs and driving range - 5 mins drive.
Further Details:
Easy access to supermarkets, shops and banks in the village within a beautiful 5 minutes walk.
Reception area (24 Hours) - for any immediate needs.
Aldi just opened up so costs can be kept low !
