Incredible house for family and friends

Our stay at Casa Joy was fantastic. There were four couples and each one had plenty of private space. The outdoor spaces were fantastic with plenty of seating. All amenities were as they were described. Ray, the owner was very communicative and the check-in procedure went very smoothly.

We had an incredible two-week stay at Casa Joy in Carvoeiro. From the very beginning, Ray’s communication was outstanding – quick, clear, and always helpful. The villa itself was perfect: modern, beautifully maintained, and spacious enough to comfortably fit all 11 of us. Everything we needed was there, and it felt like a real home away from home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend both the villa and Ray to anyone considering booking – you won’t be disappointed!

Lovely villa with a great location

Overall communications with the owner were first rate and check in procedure was very smooth. The villa is beautifully appointed and extremely clean, luxurious and comfortable with a great location, which is easily walkable into town. The outside area was a particular highlight for family gatherings, with plenty of seating and large tables. The pool was a good size. We all had a great holiday.

Family vacation home

We enjoyed our stay. The house is fully equiped and the owner is helping out where he cans for questions. It is possible to find a quiet place because of all the terraces and rooms available. It is the perfect house if you are with 2 family’s as well. You can walk to the village and beach. Lots of activities are available.

Absolutely stunning

We have stayed in Casa Joy twice and most recently for two weeks with all our family. It is the perfect large family villa and really well positioned to walk to the centre of Carvoiero. The pool area is spacious, well maintained and clean with a large pool. No shortage of space, and amenities. We hope to go back again soon.

An amazing property to celebrate a life stone landmark

The property is amazing from top to bottom, from inside to outside set in fantastic grounds and a brilliant location being a short walk to town. We had a fantastic family holiday with three generations helping to celebrate my 50th. The layout of the villa was perfectly suited to our needs and split over 3 levels with all having access to outside space. The villa is very well maintained and furnished to top standard.

Fantastic 5 Star villa

It's very daunting finding a villa for the whole family, eight adults, six children and a baby but as soon as we walked through the doors of Casa Joy we knew we had hit the jackpot! Fantastic villa, great location, beautiful pool and garden. The children were in the the pool all day ( the big kids as well). I have no hesitation in recommending this villa. Carverio is a lovely buzzing town with plenty of restaurants. Go on book Casa Joy you will not regret it!

Lovely villa, in quiet area, but walking distance to shops and beach

3 generations of my family have just had a week at this lovely villa. Extremely well equipped. Clean. Great communication with owner. In a nice quiet area, but a short walk to a local supermarket, shops, restaurants, bars and the beach. The villa is at the top of a hill, which is steep but quite short. Had some fabulous nights at local restaurants, on the owners recommendation list. Great private pool with lots of pool toys. Lots of space in the villa for everyone ( there were 11 of us). Lovely!

Perfect house for a large group

We stayed at Casa Joy for two weeks in July. There were twelve of us in total (a variety of ages) and it suited everyone. So well equipped and enough space to be able to have your own space! The games room area was a hit with our children and the pool was a good size. Plenty of sun beds. The large balcony with seating area was perfect for family BBQ/meals. The owner, Ray, responded quickly to all my emails and gave us lots of info and advice about the area. The whole process was very straight forward. I would highly recommend this house for large groups and will definitely be going back in the future.

Huge villa with far-reaching views of the sea

Really big villa with plenty of space for a number of guests. Air-conditioning which is always a bonus in the summer. Lovely pool and gardens with plenty of terraced areas to sit in. Relaxing pergola area at far end of garden. Gated with space for 3 cars. Steep but easy enough walk from Carvoeiro centre with its beach and all its bars and restaurants. Well stocked kitchen. Smartly refurbished bathrooms. Very relaxing stay in a very welcoming villa.

Fabulous villa

The villa is fabulous. The accommodation is over three floors easily providing our three families with privacy when wanted with the lounges/terraces offering plenty of room to enjoy family get togethers.The pool and gardens are lovely. The location is ideal being walking distance to Carvoeiro centre [downhill going, uphill back] and a local supermarket. An unbeatable location for the large extended family seeking a villa holiday in a lovely resort. Also the owners Karen and Ray are a delight to deal with making the entire holiday experience a joy.

Fantastic Villa and location in a beautiful area

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful Villa - everything was exactly as described and exceeded our expectations. The Villa itself was huge with big airy rooms, and fabulous facilities. The Villa was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The Boys in our group loved the games room and everyone loved the Pool and the large seating areas. The Villa is based within easy walking distance of the town and the town beach. We had excellent assistance from the owners Ray and Karen, and from the lettings company who arranged all our transport. We loved the town as well - so many fabulous places to eat! We were spoilt for choice. We particularly liked Onze, by the beach, The Wolf Bar, Tia Ilda (which has amazing views) and Medici. Also don't leave with a trip to the Tivoli Hotel and their amazing rooftop Bar,. I would recommend this Villa and location to anyone - we loved it and hope to return Edwina Sleight

70th Birthday Celebration

My family and I celebrated my 70th birthday at Casa Joy from 1-9 April. We were a party of seven adults and six children ranging from age 7 to 6 months. The villa is conveniently located in a quiet residential area within 10 minutes walk from Carvoeiro town centre. It is exactly as described in the brochure featuring lots of space both internally and externally.set in lovely well attended gardens. At the suggestion of Karen, the owner, we had the pool heated which was an excellent piece of advice. The kids played in the pool early every morning and again in the early evening when we returned from the numerous gorgeous beaches in the area.. Although we enjoyed lovely sunny days around 25-26 deg C the pool enjoyment certainly benefitted from being heated. Each of the spacious bedrooms had modern en suites and the villa was exceptionally clean and well kitted out with more than adequate furnishings and facilities. A 5 minute walk to the little supermarket in the morning provided fresh bread and croissant and of course the essential pastel natas! The larger supermarket was about 5-10 minute drive and it was stocked with fresh meat and fish and everything you needed. We had a BBQ every evening because of the gorgeous weather and it suited the kids better. Thus we ate outside on the terrace, drank lots of good wine and watched the sunset. My family have rented villas most years for the past 40 years and we all agreed that Casa Joy is up there with the very best. Carvoeiro is a small seaside town with lots of bars and restaurants to suit all tastes. We were fortunate to holiday in a quiet time but there was still a good friendly atmosphere. It is certainly a good base to explore the many beautiful beaches of the Algarve. A special mention must be given to the owners, Karen and Ray, who were extremely helpful at the pre-booking time and provided excellent assistance throughout our stay. Anyone renting Casa Joy will undoubtedly have a wonderful holiday experience. We can certainly highly recommend the property. Definitely 5***** John Foster and Family Chesterfield, UK

Great Holiday Great Villa

Casa Joy doesn't disappoint, Villa is very spacious we were a group of 14 and there was plenty of room. The pool is great the grounds are lovely and well maintained and gated so the kids couldn't escape. The kitchen is very well equipped and the games room was also well used. We had 3.5 families stay and all enjoyed the holiday just wish we could have stayed longer. The owners are very helpful and will answer any queries they've also compiled a very good guide book in the villa. Carvoeiro is a lovely town ideal for a family holiday although it is hilly getting back up to the villa from the town which is probably the only slightly negative thing I could say. I would definitely go back

Perfect Villa for our family of 15!

We stayed in this Villa with our extended family of 15 (ages 2-60) including children aged 2, 5, 6, 11, 13, 14 and 16. We had an amazing time - there is so much space to sit and chill out - inside and outside. The pool area and gardens are lovely and really well presented - and we used the barbecue three times. Everything is provided for you including kitchen equipment, towels etc and information e.g. about where to eat which was really helpful. The owners were really easy to contact all all times during booking and before we arrived which was reassuring. The Villa is in the perfect location to be able to access the town and shops easily without needing a car - and without being so close to the town that it is noisy. The only things that were remotely negative were that the bedrooms seemed very dark (but we find the same with any villas because of how they have shutters on the windows and low lighting), and one of the bedrooms did not have air-con which proved to be very hot for the two girls sharing it (fans were provided but we had very high temperatures during our stay). Overall, the Villa was fantastic, and we hope to go back again next year!!! We would definitely say 4 and a half stars.

Fabulous Spacious Villa

We had a wonderful week at Casa Joy . 3 generations 80yrs. to 15 months and everybody had a great time. Outside space and facilities were excellent. As the weather was wonderful we hardly used the inside rooms at all (apart from bedtime). Owners Karen and Ray were great to deal with and provided lots of useful local information.

About the host

Hosted by Mr Ray King

Host profile image
We live primarily in the UK (Surrey) and we bought this home in November 2006. It needed total refurbishment, which we have done over the years. Every bathroom has been replaced, the swimming pool and area has been renewed, it's been re wired, new air conditioning, re painted to name just a few improvements that we have done. All improvements have been done with love and care, as we regard this, and Carvoeiro as a very special second family home. We have three children; aged 22, 20 and 16 and they have enjoyed many happy times here and love visiting their second home as much as they can. Our villa holds many special memories for us, our friends and family.

Why they chose this property

It had an instant welcoming, homely feel to it when we walked in and it is surrounded by secure, beautiful gardens. The accommodation is spacious and typically Portuguese. It is set in a very quiet position, opposite open fields. It is the most elevated villa in Carvoeiro and has gorgeous views towards the sea and Monchique mountains. It is also easy walking distance to the town and beach.

What makes this property unique

The location is unique and central. It enjoys gorgeous views from numerous terraces, and sits in a good size plot with stunning, well looked after gardens. It has a private, heated pool and the accommodation is spacious and well maintained. It is also within walking distance of Carvoeiro town, and driving distance of many popular attractions.
