Situé dans un petit village charmant. Très belle vue et très belle terrasse. Logement bien équipé.Bouteille de vin à l’arrivée 😀 les hôtes ont toujours été rapide à nous répondre . Si vous venez en voiture, je vous suggère de stationner sur la rue R. do Povo do Burro.

Algarve Dream

Can’t imagine a better place or a better view in all of the Algarve! We could see the town and the beach from both the second and third levels of the home. A quick 4 minute walk down to the beach and all the restaurants. I would t want to stay anywhere else. We will surely return.

A week in Carvoeiro

The place worked perfectly for us. We did a lot of hiking and the rooftop deck was the perfect way to begin and end a day.

Incredible view !! Great location, close to beach and shops. Only a small car can drive up to the property as road is quite narrow, but we were able to find parking easily in May. Everything was clean and functional. And really, you can’t beat a view like that 🙂 thank you !

Wonderful

Perfectly situated for stunning views and convenient for all amenities, the house is very well equipped, immaculately clean and has great living space - we particularly loved the expansive roof terrace and its comfortable furniture, and had a very happy week here. Appreciated the helpful communications from Elite Rentals too - thank you.

family holiday

lovely house great location. Initially we felt the walk upto the house was going to be a problem as we’re all a bit old!!. However we soon found shortcuts and stairs to the town square which definitely made it easier. The house was well equipped. Just a few things we think would make it even better. There is a lack of mirrors. No mirrors in any of the bedrooms or anywhere in the house apart from two small mirrors in the shower rooms. This was problem when us girls are trying to apply make up and dry hair as had to wait until people finished showering to use bathroom mirrors. We also had an incident with the washing machine which flooded the ground floor. Fortunately we spotted it before it ruined our belongings. We spent over an hour mopping and drying the floors. One of the bedrooms got flooded.However we managed to prevent any major damage by removing all our stuff like suitcases shoes and other items fromthe room and dried them out on the roof terrace. About two hours later someone came to check the washing machine and told us not to use it for the remainder of our stay. This was a bit of an inconvenience. However, we loved the house and had a lovely holiday and would definitely r give it 5. stars

It is a wonderful apartment, with great amenities, beautiful views and great surroundings. You might want to mention in the description that it doesn't have a direct parking space. Fortunately, you can always find parking on the side of the street a little further up the street. In addition, it is rather a bit louder because of the central location and the seagulls in the evening. Otherwise highly recommended.

Kathy's review

We loved our stay here! The views from the living room & rooftop were amazing! There was plenty of space for our family of four to spread out. We loved the short walk down the staircase to downtown Carvoiero. The home felt recently remodeled and very clean. The was a slight smell from the downstairs bathroom but it didn’t ruin our stay. The listing did say there was a clothing dryer but there actually wasn’t one. We just laid the clothes out in the sun. We would stay at this home again.

Beautiful

Fabulous town house with 3 floors. Bedrooms on the lower floor & 2 bathrooms. Up the stairs to a lovely open plan kitchen/diner which was really well equipped. The upper floor was a lovely roof terrace with stunning views out to the beach. We had 3 kids with us, 12, 10 & 8. 2 flights of stairs in the place so might be a bit much for small kids or people with mobility issues. Excellent location, only 3 min walk to the square. We had a fabulous time here. Elite rentals were excellent to deal with

Wonderful property

What a beautiful location, high above the town, with views out to the sea! But.. to get to that beautiful location there is a large hill to climb, just keep in mind...the view and villa are well worth it! ( We are 4- 70 plus year olds, but we made it) The villa was well equipped with towels, kitchen appliances, etc. The beds were comfy, wifi was spotty, the washing machine kept tripping the power, and no dryer except mother nature's sun, but again..that view makes it all worthwhile! Had a fabulous 6 day stay!
