Large 2-bed 2-bath ground-floor apartment; communal pool, close to village/beach

Situated in the Mato Serrao part of Carvoeiro, just 1.5 km north west of the picturesque and highly popular resort centre, Vila Nova is an attractive, well maintained, low rise collection of thirty six apartments built in the older, more traditional Portuguese style.

Our apartment is ground floor and has a spacious living/dining room with private WiFi, Smart TV & DVD player (small selection of DVDs), and small book library.

The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen, open plan lounge/diner and two bedrooms. The main bedroom has a king-size bed and ensuite shower room with walk-in shower. The twin bedroom has two single beds. The family bathroom has a bath and separate walk-in shower. A cot and high chair are available. The living room has a wood-burning stove for the cooler winter months.

At the rear of the apartment is an enclosed private courtyard with patio furniture, sunbeds & BBQ.

To the front of the apartment is an informal enclosed area with dining table and chairs.

Outside at the front is a small patio with outdoor table and chairs.

Ideal for family holidays, Vila Nova has a grassy children's play area, a large communal swimming pool (unheated) with sunbeds and sun shades, plus a kids paddling pool, restaurant & snack bar, mini-market and reception. Vila Nova offers free guest WiFi around the pool. The Vila Nova restaurant on the complex is excellent and reputed for its fresh fish (note the restaurant closes during the winter months and is closed on Sundays).
