Incredible Hen Weekend

From start to finish, our stay was absolutely superb. The communication from Jim throughout our stay was second to none. Very responsive and always quick to help and answer questions. Check in process and transfers were flawless, all coordinated by Jim the property manager. We went to celebrate our friends hen do, 21 people. Everything was perfect. Close to shops and supermarkets, close to night life, pool and accommodation grounds were great. We had a DJ and food delivered to the villa which really made the weekend. Just a fabulous weekend had by all.

Remote Work Trip with Colleagues

We spent a week on a remote work trip at the villa. At the beginning of the trip, we had a few issues with the condition of the villa – for example, the dishwasher and the air conditioning weren’t working. Fortunately, communication with Jim went smoothly, and we were able to get things sorted out. The villa isn’t luxurious, but it’s pretty decent!

Family New Year Stay - Algarve

We had an excellent stay and the House is perfect for bigger groups. We as a family enjoyed every evening at the fireplace to heat our environment. The outdoor experience, such as BBQ and the Pool were the perfect match for our intention.

Villa review

I would highly recommend this villa if you are travelling to Albufeira. We travelled in a group of 18 for my sisters hen party and it was amazing. The villa itself is so stunning with so much space the pictures don’t do it justice. Jim the host was extremely helpful since the day I booked it. Any queries or questions I had he had helped with straight away. The location of the villa is perfect. Only 5 minuites in a taxi to the strip and they were so easily accessible.

Amazing villa

Villa was amazing and had everything we needed. Close to both the strip and old town square. Shops, cafes and restaurants all in walking distance. Stayed with a group of 25 of us, perfect for our hen party. Jim was very helpful, he went above and beyond with everything and his communication was very efficient and informative. The only negative we had to the villa is the basement rooms are very damp and have mould on walls. Would definitely recommend but avoid using the 4 basement rooms. There’s plenty of room on the ground and first floor.

50th birthday

Jim was a wonderful host and helped us with any questions and resolved queries quickly. The house was lovely and spacious, great for a 50th birthday weekend with 33 of us. Down points the downstairs was very damp and smelt of damp. It really needs sorting out as it is not great at all. It need a bigger fridge for the size property especially for those that are catering themselves. Overall, we had the best time :)

Quinta da Carmo

In general this is a lovely spacious property which is well set out. Unfortunately it appears that they have had a flood in the basement which leaves two of the rooms not habitable because of blown plaster and mould. The pool was lovely once it was cleaned but initially was bright green. There were quite a few snags such as broken shutters, lights and sockets which did not work and became annoying. Just needs a bit of a smarten up otherwise we had a lovely time.

Absolutely incredible villa for large groups!

I booked this villa for my friend's hen do and it absolutely blew us away. Great location, amazing space, each of the bedrooms are pretty equal in size. If you have people that want to be further from the communal areas, this is easily done. It was amazing, couldn't fault it. Jim was incredibly helpful with our pre-arrival arragements, organised our drivers for us (and we were a group of 22 so it was a lot!) Loved it, would absolutely book it again!

Stag do!

Had my stag do here with 23 of us and still plenty of space but have to say was unbelievable. Villa was even better than the photo's. Had to get taxi to strip and old town because of distance but only 5/10 mins away so no big deal. Jim was absolutely brilliant from booking up to when we arrived he sorted all our transfers. Second time gone through Jim for a villa after last year for a stag do and will be going through him again next year when we are back.

Fantastic villa, which accommodated 36 in our group for the family holiday. (4 months to 50's yrs). Jim was exceptional with his communication and organisation leading up to the trip. He made sure everything was in place and we were well informed with the local amenities. The villa was huge and provided everything we required from cots, high chairs to extra fold out beds and bath towels. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was great and well needed. All ages loved the pool and games room which kept the fun going all week. Location is great as there are plenty of restaurants and bars, beaches and supermarkets within walking distance. Both the old town and new strip were a short taxi ride away - uber or tuc tuc highly recommended. I would certainly recommend Qunita do Carmo for families and hope to return again.

Disappointed

We had a good holiday here but the villa really put a damper on it. Excuse the pun! We had planned our rooms so that everyone would have their own space either as couples or singles and that wasn’t to be or even addressed. ✅ Jim was superb throughout the booking process over a few years due to covid! He was efficient and answered all questions quickly and cohesively. Booking through him was easy and we would definitely use him and VRBO again. ✅ the location was great. The beach is a short walk away. There’s a lovely cafe / restaurant on the beach and there’s water sport options too. ✅ supermarket facilities and options are plentiful all a short dusyance away - Aldi, Intermarche and Apolonia. Some walkable, mostly short car ride. ✅ Bin facilities were a 10 minute walk or quick drive away. ✅ the bed rooms were all good in size with excellent wardrobe spaces, good furniture and comfortable beds. ✅ The bathrooms were lovely. Large showers and a lovely finish to them. ✅ The inside living area was great - spacious, sofas were comfy and the table was big. ✅ the outside eating area was good. The BBQ was big and easy to use. (However the table only just fit us - a party of 19 - so if the house was full I’d question where everyone could sit) ✅ getting Ubers was super easy. Cons. ❌ the four en-suite bedrooms in the basement could not be slept in / used. There was evidence of a flood and the smell of damp was very pronounced and unpleasant. It made the rooms uninh

Great Location!

The Villa is in a great location, walking distance to local restaurants, the market and the beach. There were 18 of us and plenty of room to all sit and have a great meal together or lounge around the pool. The Villa is decorated nicely, and I had great communication with the owner Jim prior to our arrival. We had read the reviews about break-ins and were extremely cautious about lowering all the shutters when no one was home and every night. The first night we caught a male looking over the fence that appeared to be recording but he was chased off quickly and never seen again. Possibly just a drunk passing by. It is true not all of the sliding doors lock which was a concern, especially for our older family members. The only problem wasn’t so much the cleanliness but the upkeep in the villa. Several things were broken. There was mold on the wall of the downstairs bedroom all the way to the left, as well as a musty or sewer smell in that room and the one next to it. One of the guest opened a window in the living room above my moms chair and the whole window fell out almost hitting her. Two of the bedroom’s downstairs didn’t have power so we called the property caretaker who quickly answered and said maintenance would be by in the morning but no one ever showed. We did some switching around so the guest with a sleep apnea machine would have power in their room. The others had to charge their devices up stairs for the remainder of their stay. It was a shame to see such a beautiful home in need of a list of repairs but it didn’t truly lesson our experience and the time spent with family. Don’t forget like we did and request the pool be heated. It’s a daily rate but worth it, to some it was too cold to swim in June. The house really is ideal for large groups and would return to this area again.
