COVID NOTICE
We are Covid compliant with our cleaning regime for the prevention and control of the Covid Virus. We will let you know when our maid will be calling to allow you to choose to be home or not. We do not expect our guests to go to the Reception area or be interrupted by maids who have been mixing with many other guests within the complex. Both our apartments (Girassol 25 and Jasmin 92 (HAUK 8470604)) are not right next to the sunbathing/swimming pool terraces but a few steps away and therefore enable you to distance safely. We live in Carvoeiro and manage both our apartments personally, we are on hand to answer any questions or give any information, hints or tips to ensure you enjoy your stay.

THE APARTMENT
The lovely BLUE FRONT DOOR opens onto a generous entrance HALLWAY, giving access to the whole apartment, which has WI-FI throughout.

TWO LARGE BEDROOMS (one with King-sized bed the other with Twin beds) have fitted wardrobes and air conditioning. A FULL BATHROOM has a shower over the bath, which has both overhead rain and hand held shower-heads. The SHOWER ROOM has a walk in shower area and rain shower-head too.

The FITTED KITCHEN is complete with all the necessary white goods, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, ceramic hob, electric oven and microwave. All the small appliances, toaster, kettle, juicer, filter coffee machine and coffee plunger are there too. The cupboards and drawers are full of what you would expect to find in your own home. There is a washing machine, clothes drying area, iron and board. Guests who stay for 7 nights or longer will receive a free Welcome Pack on arrival.

Facing onto the wide sunny terrace the air conditioned LOUNGE/ DINING ROOM is light bright and airy, very comfortably furnished and complete with wood burning stove for those chilly winter evenings. There is a well-stocked bookcase, TV (with over 165 channels including Dutch, French and German channels) as well as a DVD player (many films to choose from) a music centre and board games to ensure that there is something for everyone to enjoy.

The SPACIOUS TERRACE runs the full width of the apartment and offers a degree of PRIVACY being set back from its neighbours, it is well lit and also lucky enough to have an open view and garden area, so is a good distance from the pathway. With hardwood table and chairs this is an ideal place to dine al fresco or enjoy relaxing in the zero gravity reclining chairs at any time of the day. Should you feel too hot there is also a wind-out toldo (sun shade).

All household LINEN is provided and changed weekly. We also provide towels for the pool and separate ones to take to the beach with mats. The apartment has a LAPTOP SAFE; we do not charge for its use.

There are five SWIMMING POOLS in the complex (one heated in winter), all with separate children’s pool, sun loungers and umbrellas.
There are two TENNIS COURTS on site, hire from Reception.
CAR PARKING on site.

If this lovely apartment is booked for your holiday dates please look at our other apartment JASMIN 92 (HAUK 8470604) also in Monte Dourado, with TWO terraces and a PRIVATE GARDEN area.

HIGH SEASON JULY AND AUGUST
We try to be as flexible as possible so we do not have a fixed changeover day.
However we ask guests to please book so that your holiday starts or ends at a previous booking or at least leaves a minimum 7 nights either side of your booking

For LONG STAY WINTER GUESTS, special rates are available, which we base on two people sharing, and happily welcome their visitors for a small extra charge, payable locally at the end of the stay.
Electricity is charged at cost, also payable locally at the end of the stay. The big pool is heated in the winter months, usually from October to April.

We would like to share an email from recent guests:
"The greeting we had from Rory was friendly and welcoming and gave us lots of information for our stay, to open the fridge and be greeted by the staples to create a small snack and a cup of tea was lovely and for this, we thank you. The apartment itself is so well equipped with everything and more than we could need. The comfort of the beds, the lounge area and the well-equipped kitchen made our stay fantastic. We will highly recommend it to our friends and family. We have stayed in different countries with lots of bookings through Home Away but yours is the best so far, by far.
Thank you for playing a part in our lovely holiday.
Best wishes Lisa and Tim."

Great apartment in great location
Really nice apartment which had everything we needed for a great week in Carvoeiro. A short walk into town and to the beach and plenty of things to do/see a short drive away.

Uitstekend appartement
Prima appartement om lang, maar natuurlijk ook kort te verblijven. Alles wat je nodig hebt om er te wonen is aanwezig, inclusief wasmachine en vaatwasser. De TV heeft veel internationale zenders, waaronder NED1, 2 en 3. Internet met WiFi is uitstekend. In de huiskamer en de twee slaapkamers is airco aanwezig. De huiskamer en de slaapkamers zijn prima ingericht. Je kunt lekker buiten zitten en in de ochtend en vroege middag heb je zon op het terras. Het zwembad is op 10 meter afstand en voor in de winter is er een verwarmd zwembad op 100 meter. Wij zijn er nu twee keer geweest, 8 weken en daarna 7 weken. De eigenaren, Rory en Jane, zijn heel hartelijk en staan voor je klaar als dat nodig is. Ze wonen in de buurt. Carvoeiro is een leuk dorpje met een klein strandje. In reclamefilmpjes voor de Algarve zie je dit strandje vaak voorbij komen. Leuke terrassen en goede restaurants. Het dorp ziet er nog behoorlijk authentiek uit. In de buurt zijn 3 grote supermarkten waar je alles kunt kopen. Een auto is dan wel vereist (of met een taxi gaan). Kortom: een aanrader!

Uitstekende vakantie woning op mooie lokatie
Prima ingerichte en uitgeruste vakantie woning. Foto’s komen prima overeen. Alles was aanwezig. Wij hebben er 9,5 week “gewoond”. WiFi is uitstekend en de TV heeft alle zenders van de meeste Europese landen (voor ons Ned1, 2 en 3, RTL4 en 5 en SBS6). Elke kamer heeft een airco en er is een open haard. In de keuken is alles aanwezig wat je nodig hebt. Zwembad is op 10 meter afstand. Je kunt lekker buiten zitten in de zon, maar ook in de schaduw. Monte Dourado ligt op een heuvel in het centrum van Carvoeiro. In het dorpje kun je alles kopen, maar er zitten ook 3 supermarkten op 3 km afstand. Rory and Jane, de eigenaren van de woning, hebben ons hartelijke ontvangen en uitgezwaaid. Leuke en fijne mensen die alles over de omgeving weten en waar je alles aan kunt vragen. Ons verblijf is zeer goed bevallen en eind van het najaar gaan wij weer in deze woning overwinteren!

About the host

Hosted by Rory & Jane

Host profile image
Hi, we have lived on the Algarve for many years, wherever we have travelled, always returning to Carvoeiro. Jane just loves flying into Faro and seeing the Ria Formosa Estuary and the sandy islands, it gives the feeling of sunshine and relaxation immediately. We hope you will feel the same.

Rory is retired from his work as a freelance Management Consultant working across Europe for 30 years. He arrived in Portimao by sailboat in 2002

Jane used to work in Tourism, travelling extensively, spending a lot of time in Australia and the Balearics. She originally made her home here in the mid 1980’s

We now live across the valley from the Apartments with our two cats, who also love to travel with us, on our sailboat, but are not so keen on flying!!

Why they chose this property

WHY WE CHOSE CARVOEIRO
We love Carvoeiro for its character, charm and its ideal location on the Algarve as well as the fact that it has none of the nasty high-rise buildings in evidence elsewhere along the coast. There are always many restaurants to choose from even in the middle of winter and the lovely sheltered Blue Flag beach is right there too. Whether you want to pop out for coffee and a bit of retail therapy, a lingering lunch, the perfect dinner or just to relax on the beach, go no further than 500m - yes its all that close. We love it here and are sure you will too.

The district of Lagoa has become well respected for the quality of its wines and there are several local WINERIES to visit and one MICRO BREWERY. Within a 5 minute drive (taxi ride) there are three GOLF COURSES, Vale do Milho, Gramacho and Vale do Pinta.

We bought both our apartments in 2017 (Girassol 25 and Jasmine 92, the ones with the blue doors!), having looked around we found that Monte Dourado has so much to offer. Right in the heart of the village, with the beach on its doorstep but still remaining peaceful and quite in itself. There is on-site parking, the mature gardens are very well cared for and grounds kept in good condition, there are 5 pool areas each with a separate children's pool, sun beds and parasols. The main pool is heated in the winter months. If you are feeling energetic there are tennis courts for hire just behind the reception.

What makes this property unique

Comfortable home from home, not just a ‘holiday let’.
So close to beach, village, shops and restaurants.
Quiet and relaxing location.
Pools just a few steps away.
Air conditioning (hot/cold) and wood burner for cooler evenings…..
On-site free parking, a real bonus in the centre of Carvoeiro
