A lovely stay

We were very pleased with the whole experience. Linda was very kind and supportive through the booking process despite Covid delays and issues with Vrbo. The villa (and pool) was lovely from my perspective with easy access to supermarkets and a short drive to the town and beaches. The town was busier than expected but it was peak season.

Lovely Villa

Really great property that suited our group perfectly. Spacious and clean and walking distance to a great supermarket. My only negative would be that it’s about a 30 mins walk into town which is along a busy fast road and taxis were sometimes hard to come by. But nonetheless this had no impact on our stay and it really is a great villa. Linda has been amazing rebooking our trip throughout the pandemic. We hope to go back in the future.

Very family friendly villa

A lovely villa with an excellent pool and fantastic play area that our kids ranging from 3 to 5 all enjoyed. The provision of basic fresh food, drink and toiletries were a great touch. The maid service was very thorough and the pool was regularly checked. The management team responded very promptly to a minor issue with the villa and fixed the fault within 30 minutes. Overall a fabulous experience and I would highly recommend to others - especially with young families.

50th birthday holiday with family and friends.

We have just returned from our holiday at Monte Verde and we all had a wonderful time and was totally above our expectations. The villa catered for everybody's needs and the outside area was absolutely stunning. We all made use of the outside seating area's around the villa. The location of the villa was great, supermarket a few minutes walking distance and also the walk into town was a 20 minute walk. The owner was very helpful throughout the booking of our holiday and whilst at the villa the management service was very responsive. All of our party agreed they would love to return to Monte Verde in the future.

Beautiful villa - perfect family getaway!

Just back from 10 nights in this gorgeous villa - 4 adults, 4 teens and a 5 year old. Absolutely loved the pool and the fabulous outdoor kitchen where we spent most evenings after a lazy afternoon at Carveiro beach. Ample space for everyone to have fun together and still be able to escape for some peace and quiet. Very convenient 5 minute walk to Intermarche for groceries - wonderful selection of everything you need, especially meat, fish, fruit and veg and the bakery - perfect for foodies and self catering. Loved the fact that there are no immediate Neighbours so kids could play freely in the pool and there was no noise at night so everyone slept like babies! Linda was so professional from the time we made the booking until our last day. She was always available to answer questions. We hope to be back again next year x

Excellent - higher than a six

We stayed for 10 nights from 23rd October. We had some queries before we went and Linda was great in assisting us. It was a true privilege to stay at Linda's property. It has all you need for a totally relaxing holiday. It is very private, very tastefully decorated, elegant in every way with plenty of space and a large pool. We didnt use the kids play area as we had no kids with us but we did enjoy the table tennis !! Outside as well as the great pool there is a smart barbeque area and another elegant outdoor seating area in addition to an outdoor table for eating outside. Certainly superb and when the scores are recorded out of 5 I can only score this excellent property - higher than a six.

Beautiful outdoor space

We stayed at Linda's property with my sister's family, and the space was perfect for two families sharing. Linda provided a lovely welcome package of wine and snacks which we felt was a really nice touch. She was very easy to get in touch with and answered questions promptly. The outdoor space is the real star of the property and is very modern and well kept. The house was very clean and comfortable. The only issue we had was that one of the bedrooms has an AC unit that turns off after only a few minutes, meaning that we regularly overheated and woke up to turn it back on - and didn't sleep too well. This could be resolved by allowing it to stay on during sleeping hours. Thank you Linda for a wonderful stay!

Thank you for your review, the aircon units are eco friendly, and are timed to turn off when there is no moment , we have thought about installing a chargeable meter for the units, but feel that this would add extra cost to peoples holiday/vacation, this is something that we will discuss at a later date.

Beautiful accommodation for the whole family.

The home is absolutely beautiful with stunning views and very spacious. We really enjoyed our time here however there were a few niggles, most of which were very quickly resolved by Linda and her team. We paid extra for pool heating but this wasn't activated until 2 days into the holiday due to a broken pool heater. I appreciate this couldn't have been planned for but we paid for a full weeks pool heating and missed out on 2 days of this. The BBQ was very dirty and could tell it hadn't been cleaned for a while, we only used this once because of this. We couldn't locate the hammock as shown as the pictures and there was no hot tub which was disappointing. The floor by the pool was so slippery when wet it was dangerous for my children so we had to purchase pool shoes for them. Overall we enjoyed our stay and knowing the above, we would love to stay again.

Sorry about the Hot Tub issue, have no idea that this was featured as we do not have one, all our photos are illustration purposes only . Yes there was a hammock featured, but regrettably this was damaged by a previous guest, so under health and safety it was removed . Regarding your comment about the pool heating, you must recall that was discounted via our messages from £220 to £175 although at the time the pool heater was was in full working order, however , you were advised that there was an issue with the pool heater, we purchased at new p/h immediately which was installed 2 days after your arrival so as not to disturb your holiday but as the previous guests had the pool heated you were advised to keep the cover of the pool to maintain the pool temperature which Jamie tested, the tiles around the pool can get slippery under foot especially with all the heavy rain that occurred recently especially during your duration which is totally out of our control, although they are anti slip, the house book and digital app does indicate this and advise to take extra caution. The previous guests who used the BBQ left it in a poor condition the cleaners made every effort to clean it the best they could, but as you asked if you could check well before 4pm it was impossible to clean it to our satisfaction ,this is why we have stipulate check in at 4pm and check out 10am however we had arranged that the BBQ to be collected and thoroughly cleaned , which it has However we hope that you enjoyed the welcome pack that was left for you as we leave this for all our guests no matter what time other guests check in , regards Linda

A wonderful stay in a wonderful villa!

We had a fabulous week in this villa. Would highly recommend. The outside space is the reason we booked the villa and it did not disappoint. Every bit as amazing as the pictures show. The kitchen area, pool, dining spaces and sun beds were all fantastic. As were the views! We absolutely loved it. The inside space was great too - spacious and comfortable and bathrooms good. Only couple of things to note were: - The air con in the double room attached to single room did not work. This made it extremely hot in there the whole week as they couldn’t get an engineer out during the time we were there. The villa manager was responsive to our request though and did what he could. We appreciate that these things happen and it can’t be helped sometimes. It did make it too hot for our girls to sleep in that room though. - We felt that we could have done with at least one more umbrella in the outside area. There was one umbrella and also the pergola and awning but for lying on the sun beds around the pool, another umbrella would have made it more comfortable in the extreme heat. - we had to just give the kitchen worktops outside and some of the plastic crockery a wash when we used them for the first time as they didn’t feel particularly clean. All in all, a wonderful place. In a convenient location for supermarkets and also a 25ish minute walk to carvoeiro. Thank you Linda and the team, we had a great week!

Hi Thank you for your review, had you asked our management team, they would have supplied you with a further sun umbrella which we have readily available, regarding the aircon this was unfortunate and completely out of our control, I m sure our managers would have supplied a further fan for you, if this was requested, but we do hope you appreciated the welcome pack that was left for you, and that our managers worked really hard to accommodate your early arrival

Very pleasant stay in Carvoiero

Our communication with Linda, the owner, was as good as anyone could hope for on a villa rental. She was obviously completely committed to her guests getting the very most from their holiday. The local management company were easy to contact and resolved any minor issues immediately. They also visited the villa proactively to address issues, for example with electric gates and pool pump, that we were not even aware of. The villa layout was ideal, with comfortable furniture and beds, and quality bathrooms. The kitchen units and appliances were of high quality; crockery and utensils in acceptable supply. The aspect of the villa that we enjoyed most was its outside areas. The view was more even more open and appealing than we anticipated from the listing photos. The terrace and pergola offered shade with high quality and comfortable furniture. There were plenty of comfortable sunbeds and parasols round the pool, which we had arranged to be heated and was very pleasant for most of our stay, albeit it got a bit too warm to be refereshing during a two/three day hot spell in our early July holiday. Later in the summer, I do not think heating would be necassary. While access to Carvoiero was easy and the Intermarche very convenient, the area does not lend itself to going out for a local stroll. The access road from the main road is a very rough track between solid rock walls. For 100 metres or so, passing would not be possible without someone reversing.

Wir haben die Gastgeberin nicht persönlich kennen gelernt, der Schriftwechsel nach unser Abreise hat uns aber erschrocken. Etwa eine Stunde nach der Schlüsselrückgabe an den Hausmeister/ Verwalter bekamen wir eine ultimative Aufforderung 2400 Pfund für einen beschädigten Aussentisch zu zahlen. Die Forderung wurde später auf ca. 1500 Pfund reduziert. Wir warten noch auf eine richtige Berechnung( Zeitwert?).Die Ausstattung ist so lal la. Die Menge der Gläser ist eher zu er Versichgering für acht Personen. Scharfe Messer sind Mangelware. Wir haben erst einmal selbst eins gekauft, ebenso eine einfache Kaffeemaschine.In zwei Zimmern sind die Matratzen ziemlich hart, das ist Geschmacksache.Die Sache ist jetzt bei der Versicherung.Davon abgesehen ist die Lage des Hauses wegen der Sicht sehr schön. Wegen des eigenen Kinderspielplatzes ist das Haus für Familien mit kleinen Kindern gut geeignet.Nervig sind die vielen an die Wände geklebten Hinweise und Verbote.

Unfortunately I do not speak or read german, however I have managed to translate the comments the best I can Yes originally we sent a request for £2400 due the damage of the outside table, which included a complete new set, however when I spoke with the supplier we were advised that the table was still available, so I sent a revised cost which you have received via email, and VRBO support. with regard to notices this is purely highlighted especially around the outside of the property, for safety, This table is extremely heavy, and within our rule policy and guest book it clearly states to refrain from moving furniture internally and externally for the health and safety of our guests other than sun beds. In doing so has broken the leg which is un repairable, therefore with our next next guests is too dangerous to use. Having rented out our property for many years and with previous reviews there's not much I can say

Menschliches Versagen

Ein neu renoviertes Anwesen, leider absolut ungepflegt. Keine Reinigung vor der Ankunft, verschmutztes Geschirr in den Kästen, keine hygienische Bodenreinigung, schmutzige Handtücher und kein Personal verfügbar, dass dies beseitigt. Insgesamt eine super Lage aber leider eine schlechte Führung/Vermietering, die auch sehr unfhöflich und dreist ist.

There's no words to say about these guests other than that on the day of arrival they where completely lost and possibly with the misunderstanding of there SATNAV , at 10.30pm I took a call from them to guide them to the property albeit that was very dark and late (my phone is always switched on in case of emergency's) a very kind young man tried to help them through a friend of his an uber driver and myself where able to locate them and guide them to our property, we had to call the uber driver back as they had difficulty in opening the security box to obtain keys for entry to the property. once this was resolved they obtained entry at 1.45pm we stayed connected to them all this time even with the language barrier . At 8.30am next morning the daughter who arranged this holiday rang to say her parents had advised her that the property was dirty and smelly, absolutely rubbish, we immediately contacted our house manager who came to see them like they do with all or guests after arrival usually the next day, they complained off as follows, ice cream left in the freezer for no other reason to be used if so wished, ,complained of a travel cot as they do not have children although behind a door and out of sight, complained on sanitary wear in the main bathroom in case of emergency's, which was removed and put into storage, complained of a small amount of fluff left in the tumble dryer, complained of slight rust in the microwave which is hardly used, but we instructed the house manager to replace forthwith, a small part of the coffee machine missing but working well , demanded a full house clean which was declined as we have a have a midweek linen, towel change and bathroom clean , light kitchen clean after a duration of 10 days which is normal practice, not to mention that they removed decorative items in the other bedrooms into the used bedroom together with the travel cot and cushions which we have photos to share (without advising the house managers) that was not put back on check-out, left dirty crockery in the kitchen and not placed in the dishwasher to say we and our house managers are rude and cheeky is beyond us, we take great care with our guests all times our house managers are always to hand if need be, to add further these guests like all others receive a welcome pack of 2 bottles of wine, tea coffee,sugar, milk water biscuits plus dishwasher and laundry capsules to get started

Really enjoyed our stay in this large and thoughtfully decorated home. Great pool area, lovely views / quiet setting and a really nice kids playground. Loved being close to but a little outside of Carvoeiro town. Excellent

Modern mit viel Platz

Nette Vermieter, dezente schnelleBetreuung, wunderbar eingerichtet. Ich würde mir wünschen, im Winter vorher schon über Heizung und die Möglichkeiten dazu informiert zu werden. Absolut zu empfehlen!

Urlaub mit Hindernissen

Wir waren vom 18. Dez. 2019 - 07. Jan. 2020 in dieser Villa. Der Kontakt zu den Eigentümern und zur Hauverwaltung hat immer sehr gut funktioniert. Die Villa ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und Wände und Decken wurde teilweise kurz vor unserem Einzug neu gestrichen. Leider war das wohl beabsichtigt, um das Schimmelproblem des Hauses zu kaschieren. Nachdem wir im eiskalten Haus ankamen, mussten wir feststellen, dass alle Gasflaschen der Heizung leer waren. Es hat dann einen ganzen Tag gedauert, bis diese ausgetauscht wurden. Man konnte zwar mit den Klimageräten heizen, aber die Bäder waren trotzdem kalt. Da wir schon seit über 25 Jahren an die Algarve fahren, wissen wir, dass viele Ferienhäuser mit Schimmel zu kämpfen haben. Aber was wir hier vorgefunden haben, dass hatten wir so noch nicht erlebt. Massiver Schimmel vor allem im Master-Schlafzimmer und in den Bädern sowie sehr klamme Schlafzimmer. Und je mehr geheizt wurde, desto mehr Schimmel kam dazu. Außerdem trägt die oberflächliche Reinigung der Bäder noch dazu bei, dass sich der Schimmel vermehren kann. War waren sehr enttäuscht, zumal auch ein knapp 2 Jahre altes Kleinkind dabei war. Diese Villa ist definitiv aufgrund der kühleren Temperaturen nicht in der Zeit von November bis Ende März zu empfehlen. In der anderen Zeit ist es sicherlich ein schönes Haus, gerade für größere Familien.

Very disappointed in your review Petra, having arrived at our villa on the 10th I actually saw some mould as you called it which took 1 hr to remove, what you could have done is ask our managers to spray an anti fungus spray in the en-suite to remove it, the fact that you used 2 bottles of gas was completely your choice nothing to do with our villa at all , i cannot be responsible if the weather does not suit your needs, in fact our manager is still waiting payment from you . You also fail to mention the Welcome pack and Christmas tree that we left for you upon arrival ,

We currently live in the UK, having spent most of all the summer in the Algarve especially when our children where growing up. We enjoy travelling, walking, going to the theatre especially in London, one of my favourite places is Covent Garden, watching the young artists performing and of course the restaurants In 2017 we celebrated our golden wedding anniversary at our villa, it was amazing family and friends travelled so far to celebrate our special day with us, the venue couldn't have been nicer anywhere else for sharing this happy occasion with our grown up children and grand children, we had a most fabulous time

Why they chose this property

Monte Verde has been in our family for many years, in the past we have had so much fun with our 2 children, who now have family of there own. Thats why we thought it would be a good idea to erect a play area for clients who have children to play. The play area is enclosed within the property with Astra turf

What makes this property unique

The villa is located in a quite area, although near the hustle and bustle of the resort, but ideal if you really want to chill out or have fun - Newly re-modernished supermarket within walking distance called 'Intermarche' sells pracically everything for your holiday, especially with the weight restrictions on luggage, ideal for all your toiletries especially for the little ones.
Heated pool chargeable at £220.00 per week . outside fine dining area with bbq plus outside fridge and sink unit
