Carvoeiro is a fishing village halfway along the Algarve coast, about 45 minutes from Faro Airport. Over the last 15 years, it has grown to be a sizable holiday resort. However, it has not lost the intrinsic charm of the place, as the development has been sympathetically done, keeping to low-rise buildings in the traditional Algarve style. The cosmopolitan resort has a wide selection of restaurants and bars, a few night clubs, boutiques, banks, chemist, local facilities and fantastic beaches.

The house was the perfect size for our group of eight, and in a great location. The games, books, and firewood were much appreciated during the chilly nights!
We had the best time staying at Casa Dragao, accomodation was perfect for our group of 7 adults, well equipped kitchen, comfy lounge area and pool area was brilliant for day time relaxing. 15 minute walk down to Carvoeiro beach and all the bars and restaurants. We would definitely come again.
What a brilliant villa!!!! It was clean, well equipped for all that we needed and brilliant for our children (4 and 6). We found the location to be perfect, it is out of Carvoeiro to feel quiet but close enough to be able to walk in with an excellent bakery and also a Supermarket nearby. It was a perfect weeks stay!

Hi Lynn I am so glad you found everything you needed at the villa. It takes around 10 minutes to walk down the hill into the village, and there is a taxi rank near the beach if you prefer not to walk back. The drive back to the villa is less than 5 Euros! Thank you for taking the time to post a review, which is much appreciated. Very best wishes Patricia
We had 5 adults stay here and we loved it, location was great only 10/15 min walk to local bars and restaurants. A very nice quiet area with a beautiful heated pool to relax in. We would definitely stay again, thanks.

Hi Gareth thank you so much for your review. I'm so glad you had a good stay at Casa Dragao.

Thank you again for taking the time to post a review, which is much appreciated. I hope we will be able to welcome you back in the near future. Best wishes Patricia
Amazing stay thank you Patricia! The villa was lovely, very spacious and comfortable, the heated pool was a great addition and the pool area got the sun practically all day. The walk back up from the town centre is quite steep but was fine for me and my partner taking us around 15-20 mins, there were plenty of taxis / Uber availability though. Thanks again!
We had a great stay! Nice location, heated pool, real close to the beach and nearby shops. Big house with all the supplies you need. Would recommend this to other families!

Hello Danielle Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We love the spacious living area. The reception room is great for the storage of pushchairs and beach gear when you're holidaying with children! I am so glad you had a good time, and thank you for taking the time to post your experience on the website. With very best wishes Patricia
Loved this villa, it has everything you could possibly need. The pool area was great and the shaded patio was a welcome relief when it got too hot and ideal for outdoor meals. The villa is located in a nice quiet neighbourhood but close enough to the town to be able to walk everywhere. Would highly recommend it and we would definitely stay again.

I am so glad you had a good holiday and found everything you needed. I'm also pleased you enjoyed the shaded patio.... and the sun shone! The shaded patio is also a safe place for small children to play - our grandchildren love to splash in the paddling pool shielded from the sun! It's always lovely to hear from our guests, and thank you for taking the time to place your review. We very much look forward to welcoming you back soon. Best wishes Patricia
The property had everything we needed during our 5 night stay. Nice outside space for eating and we used the heated pool everyday before and after golf.
A ten minute walk into town where you will find some excellent restaurants and bars.
Thank you Patricia

Thank you so much for your review, which is much appreciated. I am so glad you and your golfing buddies had a good stay at Casa Dragao. I'm also pleased to hear that you enjoyed the outside space and, of course, the heated pool! Although the villa is in a quiet cul de sac, it's only a 10 minute walk to the busy village with all the bars and restaurants! It sounds like you had a great golfing break, relaxing at the villa, enjoying the heated pool and sampling the excellent local restaurants and bars! I do hope we'll have the chance to welcome you back to Casa Dragao in the near future! With very best wishes Patricia
We enjoyed the house very much, had a great time with the family. The heating of the pool was very nice l, especially for the baby of almost two.
Would definitely recommend this house to others.

We loved our stay here. The villa was clean and had all the amenities we needed as a comfy base for our family holiday.
Great location too - easy to get to by car. Supermarkets nearby, the bakery is walking distance and became a favourite. Not too far to walk to bars and restaurants too.
Highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay (family of 2 adults, 2 children and 2 grandparents). Communication with Patricia was excellent from booking right through to arriving. The villa was in the perfect location and not far from the centre of Carvoeiro. There is a hill to walk back up but we have stayed in Carvoeiro several times before and knew what to expect. We had a couple of issues which Debbie dealt with.

The Villa is very well decorated and comfortable. It is impeccably clean. The instructions book is very thorough and helpful. Pictures describe it perfectly. Very roomy. We loved the outdoors area. Kitchen was clean and had nice amenities. Great stay!

We had a great time at the villa, it is in a prime location and genuinely only a 5 minute walk into town. The bedrooms are lovely, I really liked the fact that the rooms all had duvets instead of covers. The facilities were great, and the heated pool was like a hot bath, it was lovely. We will definitely be returning for another stay .

We have just returned from our 3rd stay at Casa Dragao so that should tell you everything......the villa itself is just lovely it is airy, bright & spacious and the pool area attracted the sun all day long. It is ideally situated and is only a short 10 minute stroll to the lovely town of Carvoeiro. We just love it here so will definitely be back.

About the host
Hosted by Patricia
Hi, our names are Patricia and Keith and we live in a broadland village in Norfolk. We have two daughters, Louisa and Hayley and four grandchildren - Florence, Leo, Oscar and Joseph.
Why they chose this property
We had spent many happy holidays in the Algarve before we bought Casa Dragao.
It took 18 months researching the area to find the perfect villa in the ideal location. It has everything! Walking distance to the bars, restaurants, beaches, shops etc. In a quiet cul de sac with it's own heated pool (which was re tiled and refurbished in 2023) with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (including the ensuite).
We did not want a property on a complex with shared pool - we wanted something individual.
We bought Casa Dragao in November 2008. Over the years we have totally refurbished the property and heated pool, adding an en suite bathroom to the master bedroom, installing air conditioning and adding special touches to the decor and furnishings.
I hope you will agree that the end result is very functional, stylist, friendly and homely - we love it!
What makes this property unique
We have tried to think of everything you may need to make your holiday as comfortable and stress-free as possible. The villa is very well equipped from modern kitchen appliances and a TV with all UK channels to an ironing board and scrabble! As Casa Dragao is especially suitable for families, there is are 2 travel cots, high chair, 2 stair gates (no need to keep moving the stair gate up and down the stairs!) and a blender. For the adults, we have recently purchased an additional larder fridge in the kitchen to keep drinks cold. There is also a large cool bag for those trips to the beach!
We think Casa Dragao ticks all the boxes and is ideal for two families. It offers a lot of space, excellent facilities and nearby amenities at a reasonable cost.
The accommodation is very flexible. We have had bookings from families, couples, people getting married in the Algarve, and also honeymooners!
We hope you enjoy Casa Dragao as much as we do!
