About this property

Mansion with ocean views on the outskirts of town and near the beach

Casa Peixe Dourado is a modern “five-star” townhouse located on a corner lot in Colina Verde. The house features an open-concept living room and kitchen on the ground floor. These spaces were redecorated in a lovely beach style in late 2020. The ground floor features a pellet stove for the colder months and air conditioning for cooling during the summer months. Adjacent to the ground floor is a wonderfully spacious balcony that is partially covered. There is a separate bathroom downstairs.

The house is connected to a fiber-optic internet connection and has lightning-fast internet (100 Mbit) on all floors and even the rooftop terrace. The TV offers all international channels (including sports channels), as well as access to film and gaming channels

On the ground floor, there are two bedrooms, both with their own bathrooms. One bedroom has a large double bed and a lovely balcony; the second bedroom has two twin beds. Both bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning that can both cool and heat.

On the second floor is a wonderfully spacious rooftop terrace with a lounge sofa, a BBQ, and lounge chairs. This allows you to barbecue while enjoying the ocean view.

The house offers views of the ocean, the typical Portuguese village, and the shared pool from various outdoor areas.

It is located in the small Colina Verde development, which borders the Monte Dourado resort, a 2-minute walk from the centre of Carvoeiro and no fewer than 2 local beaches.

Fantastic accommodation and location

The property is exactly as described and superbly furnished. Great and quick communication with Mark, property owner and Emma who manages locally. The furnishings were very luxurious and the pool area was very spacious. The property is up the hill from the centre and extremely quiet yet very easy walking distance to the beach, restaurants and bars. Highly recommended and we would definitely stay again if in the area.

Another great stay,

It's the second time we've stayed in this apartment and it's even better than the first! Bathrooms and been revamped and the rooftop terrace has also had a makeover. (My favourite part of it) Everything about it is perfect, everything you need for a family holiday. 2 mins walk into town (slightly longer back up the hill after too many superbocks!) Would recommend to anyone.

Beautiful Place!

Fantastic villa in a perfect location, short walk down into the beautiful Carvoeiro, slightly longer back as all uphill! The villa has everything you would need for a perfect holiday, the roof terrace with its stunning views was my favourite place to relax, Very peaceful! The master bedroom bed was kingsize and comfortable, which is a must for the perfect holiday! Carvoeiro and this villa is now my new favourite place to go, we will be back!

Casa Peixe is a wonderful property. We stayed there for 5 weeks, end of Feb and all of March. Esther and Mark have done a beautiful job of renovating their place. The kitchen has the latest appliances and is very well equipped. The roof deck and furnishings are amazing. We highly recommend Casa Peixe.

Fantastic Property

We are 2 couples who stayed here and there was plenty of space for all of us. House had everything you need for a holiday and the rooftop terrace was excellent. We were very impressed with the welcome pack too which Mike had available to get us started. At the end of our first week the cleaner came in and changed the beds and linen then went on to freshen up the house too. Would recommend this property and the management to others as they were a pleasure to deal with.

5* home from home

The property is situated in a fantastic location just minutes walk from the beach, bars and restaurants. The villa is not only spacious, modern but is luxurious throughout. Fully functioning air conditioning in all rooms, comfortable beds and a shared pool which is never over crowded. The terraces and balconies give fantastic views over carvoeiro and after a few stays here in carvoeiro I would now not chose to stay anywhere else. 5* throughout this well maintained property as this place lives up to every expectation and is worth every penny.

Perfect Home Base in the Algarve

We enjoyed a month at Casa Peixe Durado in beautiful Carvoeiro. We had our brother and sister in law join us for 10 days. We enjoyed all the Algarve had to offer and also travelled to Lisbon and Seville during our stay. The townhouse has very clean large bedrooms upstairs and a lovely open kitchen and gathering area downstairs. The rooftop space is brilliant and we made use of the built in charcoal BBQ. Easy parking just outside the door. We would happily return!

View from On High

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Casa Branca. It was spotlessly clean, lovely large fully equipped kitchen and open concept living area. Roof to Terrace provides expansive views of the village and ocean. The only drawback was the very steep climb to reach the villa. It became easier after several times walking it. We highly recommend this property. Bring woolly socks as the floors are cold in February.

Brilliant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent place, perfect, family friendly property with breathtaking views and top end furnishings. The pool is a great size and regularly cleaned as are the gardens. The outside areas are as big as the inside, the TVs and wifi make a major difference especially if you have children that there lives depending on it. Six people would be comfortable here without feeling cramp. A stones throw from the beautiful village a definite 5stars from us and have rebooked to go back. Many thanks to the owners Scott and Kaylie

Fabulous place to stay!

We were in Casa Branca for 3 months (jan to apr 2018). We are avid travellers and have high standards when it comes to accommodations. This beautiful villa was among the nicest places we have stayed. It is modern, bright, very well decorated and has all modern amenities. A few of the features we appreciated the most during our winter stay: really good TV/Movie package, large refrigerator/freezer private rooftop deck with AMAZING views, decks and seating areas on two sides made it possible to sit in sun or shade, lots of windows which provided much bright natural light. We had very good communications with the owners, Scott and Kylie, and we even had the opportunity to meet them. They were very responsive to our needs and went out of there way to make our stay more comfortable. We do not hesitate to highly recommend this villa if your are looking to stay in the Carvoeiro area.

WOW! Fantastic quality with excellent outdoor space.

The house was fantastic. All the furniture, appliances and contents are top quality. It feels like a home not just a holiday let. The outdoor space is a real highlight. There is a terrace off the kitchen overlooking the pool which gets the evening sun. However our favourite place was the rooftop terrace. This has lovely panoramic sea views and always shade somewhere if needed. We had a few windy days but the glass screen worked as a windbreak so it was always pleasant to sit up there. It has sun loungers as well as a very comfy outdoor sofa. The large pool is communal, but it was never busy. There are plenty of loungers available. It is a short walk down into town. It is on a hill so might not suit those with mobility issues but the views are worth the climb. We were met at the property and all the essentials were explained. Some welcome basics were also included, wine bread milk etc. Cannot fault this house in any way. Really enjoyed the stay and we hope to be back again.

Couldn't fault a thing with this property. Perfect for our needs. Mark agreed to the management agency buying a fan for the bedroom so I wouldn't need the aircon. They repaired a blocked kitchen sink within a day. Honestly can't fault a thing. The overall standard of the villa was superb. Just loved it x
