About this property
66 ADM Clara Beautifully Renovated Villa with heated pool, walking distance of Carvoeiro
Welcome to Casa Clara, a beautifully renovated villa nestled in a peaceful and friendly residential neighbourhood in Carvoeiro. Located just a 10-minute walk from the renowned 'Restaurant Hill', this stunning property offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. You'll find yourself surrounded by family-friendly golf courses, breathtaking cliff walks, and spectacular beaches—all within easy reach, less than a mile away. Praia de Centeanes beach is just 2km from your doorstep, perfect for a quick dip or leisurely stroll.
The villa boasts a striking circular hallway with a beautiful spiral staircase as its centrepiece, setting the tone for this light-filled home. The modern open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is infused with natural light and decorated in a fresh contemporary style. You'll find a cosy wood-burning fireplace, satellite TV, Wi-Fi throughout, and air conditioning units keeping everything comfortable. Two sets of double-glazed patio doors open onto covered entertaining areas, leading to landscaped gardens and access to a standard pool (9x4.5 metres) with heating. (heating available at an extra cost).
Inside, the villa features three spacious bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and air conditioning. You'll have four beds in total—two doubles and two singles—spread across the bedrooms to comfortably accommodate up to six guests. The three bathrooms include two with showers and one with a bathtub, all beautifully appointed. The master bedroom on the first floor opens onto a spacious terrace with lovely sea views and far-reaching vistas of the Monchique Mountains—the perfect spot for yoga, sunbathing, or enjoying sundowners.
The fully equipped independent kitchen includes a hotplate, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing machine, coffee machine, kettle, and all necessary kitchenware and dishes. A downstairs cloakroom adds extra convenience for guests.
The atmospheric courtyard features a traditional BBQ for alfresco dining, whilst an external utility room with a new washing machine and drying area keeps everything organised. All doors and windows have been upgraded to the highest standards with individual electrically operated shutters, and a new burglar alarm system provides extra peace of mind.
Parking is easy with two private outdoor spaces in the same building, accessed via a private driveway. The property is very bright and cosy, making it an ideal retreat for families and groups. Essential amenities, wine glasses, a dining table, coffee and tea maker, cleaning products, hangers, iron, first aid kit, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and fire extinguisher are all provided for your convenience.

Amazing villa
Gorgeous villa, perfect for our family holiday. Location perfect with a short walk into town. We've been using Elite for over 10 years and they have never let us down.
Fantastic villa, great location, outdoor bar and lounge area. Already booked again for next year.

We would use Elite again!
The Villa Casa Clara is a well designed spacious open plan and fully equipped Villa with a spacious pool and outside living area.
The beds and bedding were above expectations and we slept very well due to the security blinds keeping light out.
Everything was spotlessly clean. The arrival instructions were easy to understand so too the instructions for leaving.
We would recommend Elite and Casa Clara for a Villa based holiday.
Personally I would say a car hire would be good but Uber taxis are cheap.
I found the Villa was more like a 25 minute walk to the bay and main area with uphill stints returning. (We had young children.)
A couple of issues but Kate and Carla from Elite resolved these immediately so very happy.
Best wishes Dave & Family x

Fabulous family holiday
Casa Clara is a beautiful villa with great facilities. We stayed as 3 generations including 3 teenagers and we were all throughly impressed. The pool area is exceptional and the interior is of a very high standard. The walk into town is very manageable. Highly recommended.

Casa Clara
Very clean and modern villa that we enjoyed only downside was that the TV only worked in the second week because the subscription had not been renewed

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Oct, 2024
We do apologise for the issue with the TV, this has been resolved and will not happen in the future.
This is our second visit to Casa Clara and we were not disappointed. It was just how we remembered, perfect. It doesn't feel like you are staying in a rented villa, it feels just like home. The Jacuzzi was an added bonus this year which we all enjoyed. We have already booked 2 holidays at the villa next year as have friends and family. See you in 2025.

We first visited this beautiful villa in 2019 and booked to return in 2020. Due to the pandemic this didn't happen and this is the first year that we have returned. The villa has improved since our last visit (we didn't think it could be improved as it was perfect). It was amazing, it doesn't feel like a rented villa, it feels like home. Thank you to Elite rentals for their service and thank you to the owners of the property for allowing us to rent their spectacular home. We have already booked twice for next year and from my recommendations to friends and family, they have also booked.
We had not done a villa holiday before, so were a little unsure what to expect.
We were so impressed with most of what we found, lovely villa well equipped and spotlessly clean. The pool likewise was a great size heated as requested and water clear blue.
The only disappointment was the hot tub, it was grubby looking, water looked as though it needed changing a greasy tide mark all around and the water was no warmer than the pool, we have one at home which is always spotless lifting the lid at the villa was quite a shock and disappointment.
La villa est à la hauteur de mes attentes , voir plus, très confortable et tout est bien pensé, les environs offre de très beaux paysages et la plage est assez proche à pieds, le retour paraît plus long ...une semaine vraiment superbe.
A l année prochaine j espère.
Loved the house and the surroundings. Wish we could have stayed longer

Casa muito confortável
Casa bem localizada num local tranquilo. A moradia tem excelentes dimensões, em ótimo estado de conservação e muito confortável tanto no exterior como no seu interior. Com uma decoração de bom gosto, confortável, moderna, bem climatizada e com equipamentos em bom estado, funcionais e de gama alta. Para este nível de qualidade, faltou um check-in profissional, e uma ausência total de acompanhamento aos hóspedes, não houve em qualquer momento um telefonema para apurar se tudo decorria bem na nossa estadia. De lamentar. Sugerimos um check-in presencial no futuro, pois sentimos que para os custos associados faz todo o sentido. Recomendamos vivamente o aluguer desta moradia.

Hi Sandra! Thank you for your very positive remarks about the house, during this Covid situation we are doing as advised which is to remain at distance where possible and let clients self check in but we are always available fir any issues that may arise. I hope you decide to visit again in the future!
Case Clara's location is just a short walk to Carveioro Centre - we averaged 17 mins per walk. Its a 10 mins walk to Algar Seco and from there you can walk the boardwalk into town. Sunset is spectacular. The location of the property is directly opposite a restaurant but there is very little noise from it. The driveway and overall first impression leading to the property was awesome. Its clearly looked after. The Entranceway is great with a sweeping staircase upstairs to the main bedroom and ensuite - with a great outside area. These were well kept, clean and the bathroom was really nicely decorated. Right from the Entranceway was the other two bedrooms. Double bed which I believe can be split and a twin bedroom. Double Bedroom has an ensuite with a whirlpool bath. Left from the Entranceway was the main room, kitchen and dining area. All clean and well presented. Large TV . There are quite a few entrances to the pool area to suit. A great feature is a bar area with an outdoor sink and fridge. WE loved this area. Pool was also great but Cold. Its only 1.2m at the deep end and 0.8m at the shallow end so great for throwing balls and volleyball without having to tread water. The whole area around the pool was great. There is an hot tub but it looks like its only for owners use or perhaps only open in Winter. There are various seating areas outside for eating food and a good array of plastic cups and plates.
Electric shutters are on all windows and doors and they make a huge difference to entry and exits and for feeling safe and secure.
The property was really great for our stay. We enjoyed coming back to it each night.
We met Kate (Rental Management) a few times and she was really really awesome and gave some good advice
Best Bits:
Comfy Beds
Lots of good quality Towels inc for pool area
Plastic Cutlery etc for outside
Outdoor Fridge
Pool you could stand up in
Maid was great
Areas for improvement:
No Electric Orange Juicer - We bought one for 12 euros from the supermarket and we picked up oranges from the guy at the side of the road. Think it would make a great addition
Better TV Instructions: I didn't use it much but it was difficult to know what to do
No Music System with Bluetooth I could connect to Spotify: I did it a few times through the TV but gave up
The house was really nice, just like the photos. It even had an extra space outside with a bar and a lounge. It was very spacious, comfortable and clean. The only issue was that the kitchen wasn't equipped very well. Just the basics. There was no coffee machine, but the agency brought it to us after a few days. In general the communication with them was a little difficult. The outside shower did not work, and they told us they would come and fix it, but they never did. Regardless we had a great stay, and can really recommend Casa Clara!

Recently renovated villa. Well worth a visit , excellent facilities and quiet location.
Recently renovated and upgraded - could do with upgrading the pictures- this is a superb quality villa . Spacious and well fitted with Ikea product . Almost everything is new right throughout and we were pleasantly surprised by this .
Good location easy to walk into town or taxi home for 8-10 Euros .
Very few quibbles - no tea pot , some more cutlery and crockery but otherwise you would find it difficult to complain!
Looking to rebook soon

Lovely large pool , together with pool towels and a lovely shaded outside eating area. 15 mins downhill walk to the main square and 4 euros return in a taxi ! Loved our stay here and hope to return
