About this property

12A Modernised yet traditional house

Occupying an enviable position in the heart of Carvoeiro, this modernised yet traditional house is a hidden gem! Carvoeiro is an ideal location for families and couples, offering many wonderful restaurants, small shops and bars. This area has some of the most photographed beaches in the Algarve with Benegil caves and praia do Marinha being a five minute drive from the house.



The seven hanging valleys walking trail is easy to access and gives the opportunity to see some of the amazing coastline the area has to offer. There are several excellent golf courses within a five minute drive. For the children, Slide and Splash and Zoomarine are a fifteen minute drive. This house is located very centrally so a car is not necessary.

On entrance level there are three double bedrooms, one with en suite bathroom and a further family bathroom with walk in shower. Two have wonderful sea views from the windows. Stairs lead to the open plan living space comprising dining area, lounge and fully fitted modern kitchen. Large patio doors flood the area with light and open to a terrace running the length of the property. The views of the beach, town and sea are simply stunning.

Stairs lead to the expansive roof terrace with external dining area and BBQ with sun shade and a further seating area. The panoramic views from the terrace are breath-taking.

The property is extremely well furnished and modern but with traditional touches. The house is fully air conditioned and has heaters for the winter months.

Very happy with our stay. Unit was spacious and for six of us. We very much enjoyed the deck and spend each night on it drinking port and overlooking the city. The street in front of the unit is a very steep grade so be warned. It was not a problem for us. We would highly recommend.

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 !

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.

We left a day early because there was a constant, terrible, nauseating smell. When we reported this to the agent she said it is from the drain being blocked by the cleaner. If it was that simple and a known problem it should have been remedied before our arrival. The property is nice but we could not live with the sewerage like smell any longer.

Thank you for your feedback. You came to the office to say that you were leaving early because of a smell. I said that it was shame you did not tell us as it would have been a simple fix that we could have solved for you immediately as it would just be adjusting the trap in the bathroom which can get dislodged when cleaning. We actually checked on the day you departed and found no smell and the traps perfectly in place so nothing wrong at all. The client who arrived immediately afterwards also had no issue.

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.
