Spacious well equipped good location far enough away so you get some peace and quiet but close enough to walk to loads of great places. The gardens are lovely and give the feeling that you are more remote than you actually are! Thank you Alex, Claudio and Hilda for making this special holiday for us. We would highly recommend this place and plan to return.

The pool and gardens were amazing and so lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed using the BBQ and relaxing in the hammocks.
Good location, quiet but not far from restaurants and the main beach.

Casa Hibiscus is an exceptional property in a beautiful corner of the world. Surrounded by flowers, palms, eucalyptus, olives, cacti, the charming Portuguese home is a ten-minute walk from an ideal beach. We loved the barbecue, pool, and ocean view too!

Thank you for your opinion. The garden is a very important part of the house. A place where silence and privacy are ideal to relax. Many birdsong and frogs are the only ambient sound. We would be delighted to welcome you again
We had an amazing time at the Casa Hibiscus. Alex's communication beforehand was amazing, and meeting Claudio for check in was easy and a great way to learn about the villa. The villa itself is perfect - great for kids with perfect facilities for cooking, cleaning and relaxing. The pool was immaculate, and the lady who came in to clean was lovely and put up with us around her! Can't thank you enough for a wonderful stay.

Loved staying at Villa Hibiscus, this is the fifth villa we've stayed at in Carvoiero and is our favourite due to the more traditional style and layout coupled with the fantastic garden. The location is very quiet and within easy walking distance of beaches and the town. Aleix, Claudio and Ilda couldn't have been more helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our week at the house. We look forward to visiting again soon!

A great Villa, backed up by a helpful and friendly team
The property is delightful and perfect for our needs. Plenty of outdoor space to sunbath, eat and drink. The kitchen was fully equipped, and all bedrooms and bathrooms well maintained.
Fantastic to sit on the roof terrace and have a late-night port looking out to sea.
The walk into town was fine where there are plenty of bars and restaurants.
The team were so helpful.

Lovely villa, very spacious, well located, kitchen is well equipped but outdated units, which didn't worry us as we expected the Villa to be a traditional one, which it was. Very quaint generally, the only down side was the very small dishwasher, which would be detrimental if you had big family meals in the Villa. We ate out mostly and it was fine for breakfast bits. Overall we had a great relaxing time here.

Fantastic Villa
We had the pleasure of staying in Villa Hibiscus for a week and it was all we expected from the easy booking - thanks Aleix - through to a villa which was all we had been promised and hoped for! . We were suprised to return back each day to find the villa which had been spotlessly cleaned by a lovely lady.
Villa Hibsicus is in a quiet location but within walking distance to shops , restaurants and the coastal path in to Carvoeiro.
Highly recommended.

Traditional holiday gem
The listing description of this property is understated, it is a truly traditional villa set amongst beautiful mature gardens. What enjoyment we had daily frog counting at each of the secluded ponds.
Villa Hibiscus is completely private, set in a peaceful location but within walking distance to beaches, restaurants and shops.
From the meet and greet to the attentiveness of the owner providing useful information throughout, recommending places of interest and great Portuguese restaurant, the service was excellent.
We would recommend Villa hibiscus without hesitation.

Thank you very much Sue, I'm delighted that you enjoyed the garden and the nature, the quiet environment near the sea, the sound of waves and seagulls, some singing frog in a very quiet night. A natural lush garden with corners to discover and a hammock for nap. See you !
We tenter the property three years ago for my wife’s 65 th birthday
Due to covid we had to cancel and the following year again due to my daughter’s pregnancy
So we arrived at last with a 12 month granddaughter
The property is in a lovely area of Carvoiero
And the gardens surrounding the villa have some ponds and two hammocks when the sun gets too much
The villa is rustic and not very suitable for an infant just starting to walk with a lot of steps leading to the pool and the terrace
The villa would be ideal for adults with a lovely pool and patios
We had two issues
The gas stove and hob we could not get working on our first night
Unfortunately the manager was 60 miles away-it was a Saturday night so this was not fixed till Monday
Also the patio door in the living room would not lock so we had to close the steel shutters every night before going out
They were extremely stiff and one of the hinges was broken making it very difficult to lock
There was plenty of cutlery and dinner service
And plenty of wardrobe and luggage space in all rooms
In all a very nice holiday but suitable more for adults and older children

Thank you for your opinion, we will review the inconveniences and they will be improved shortly. We will be delighted to welcome you again.
Family holiday at the beginning of September with 6 adults and a 7 month old baby. Villa is located on a quiet road and is well placed for restaurants and the beach as well as the centre of Carvoeiro. Car needed to visit large supermarkets, where prices are lower and more than the basics are stocked. The villa was very clean and the pool a good size. The exterior of the property is well looked after, with 3 different areas to sit in. Beautiful gardens, and the gardener visited 3 times in our week. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Lots of toys and a spongy playmat for small children. Lovely cot and highchair too. There were a couple of issues with the walk in shower and the patio doors but the property manager dealt with them immediately. Improvements could be made internally - we struggled with the gas oven so only used the hob and the BBQ, the mattresses are too soft and sink in the middle. More mugs would be useful, but the dishwasher is a small one so we were having to use after every meal. The water is heated by solar power, so there didn't appear to be hot water when we got up in the mornings. But there was plenty of hot water when showering before dinner. The furnishings/decor, dark wood mainly, added to the character and were certainly comfortable enough in the evenings. We didn't find the villa gloomy as some reviews suggested. Would definitely recommend to others, and would return in the future if the beds are replaced.

Thank you for your opinion. I am glad that your stay in the villa has been pleasant. Thank you for your suggestion that we will keep in mind. The mattresses are going to be renovated, the same as the gas cooker. We would love to welcome you again. Best regards.
op nog geen 5min van de schitterende kust en 10min lopen van leuk toeristisch plaatsje gelegen, leuk zwembad en ook veel ruimte om de woning heen met schaduw- en zonplekken
Das Haus ist ein nettes, etwas in die Jahre gekommenes Objekt mit einem wunderschönen Garten, schönem Swimmingpool und ausreichend Platz um sich wohl zu fühlen. Die Ausstattung war gut und auch an Kinder wurde gedacht. Schön ist auch, dass man eine Putzfee in Anspruch nehmen kann. Nur einige Kleinigkeiten, wie nicht richtig schließbare Läden und Fliegengitter, sehr lädierte Badewannen und abgeblätterte Tapeten, viel negativ auf. Ansonsten ist es sehr zu empfehlen und auch die Lage ist gut, da man nur ca 10Minuten bis zu den ersten Restaurants im Dorf braucht.

Danke für deine Meinung. Wir werden die Details überprüfen, die Ihnen nicht gefallen haben. Wir werden alles Notwendige auf den neuesten Stand bringen und alle Verschleißerscheinungen der Saison reparieren. Wir werden uns freuen, Sie wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen.
Ficar alguns dias nesta propriedade transmite-nos uma agradável sensação de tranquilidade e de privacidade, mas não de isolamento, pois estamos rodeados de outras propriedades semelhantes. Permite fazer o dia a dia a pé, devido à proximidade de Carvoeiro, de Vale de Centianes, etc.

Thank you very much for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the house and the garden. Garden design is a very personal thing. We like gardens with a mixture of beauty and mystery with corners to discover, small lakes and ancient trees. Thank you very much for evaluating it. It will be a pleasure to welcome you again.
We were very impressed with the level of mask wearing in Portugal, but be prepared for lack of clarity on what the airlines accept for COVID tests - we went to the airport a day prior to departure and that worked well.
Out stay in Carvoeiro was great. Wonderful people, great food, beautiful beaches and we were lucky to have great weather.
Overall the Villa was good and we enjoyed our stay. Some things to know: hot water is limited because it is thermal, so take your showers later in the day; be prepared to buy all the basics (sugar, condiments, coffee, etc..); there is one not two king size beds; and walking distance to town is 30-40 min, not 15.

Thank you for your opinion, but let me disagree. The three beds in the three bedrooms are exactly the same. The measurements are identical. 2 meters long x 1.90 meters wide. All three are the same. (It can be verified in the photographs) . As for the distance to the village, the normal is 10-15 minutes. You can calculate the distance perfectly in google maps. Apart from the comments of other guests who confirm it, a time of 15 minutes. I understand that walking is something very subjective, it depends on many factors, especially physical condition, Best regard.
Grote vakantiewoning, alles wat nodig is voor een prettig verblijf is aanwezig. Perfect schoon. Het zwembad is TOP. Carvoeiero is een leuke, kleinschalige plaats met goede restaurantjes. De kust is prachtig, mooie wandelingen gemaakt. Kortom: heerlijke vakantie! Wij komen zeker terug.

A propriedade corresponde ao anunciado. Não está em bom estado de conservação O exaustor não funciona e o fogão apenas tinha um bico funcionante. As roupas da cama e atoalhados apresentavam-se demasiados "gastos". Os espaços interior e exterior são amplos e agradáveis. Piscina excelente.

Obrigado pela sua opinião. O exaustor, se funcionar, foi simplesmente desconectado. Os fogões são novos. As toalhas e lençóis são constantemente renovados, sendo sempre brancos e 100% algodão. Reviso pessoalmente todos estes detalhes, embora tenha de admitir que no ano passado com o problema Cobid não pude viajar pessoalmente a Portugal e muitas coisas não foram revistas para oferecer ao cliente um serviço 100% como gosto. Agora está tudo atualizado. Gostaríamos de recebê-lo de volta.
La casa es exactamente igual que en las fotos, muy amplia y a solo 2 minutos de la playa y a 10 minutos del centro de Carvoeiro.
La comunicación con Aleix ha sido estupenda desde el principio y hasta al final. Totalmente recomendable!

Sehr geräumige Villa mit wunderschönen Pool. Restaurants in 5 Minuten zu erreichen , Ortsmitte und Strand 10-15 Minuten ( zu Fuß). Kontakt sehr sehr nett und freundlich .
Schade , dass die Dachterrasse nicht ausgebaut ist , denn von dort hat man einen schönen Meerblick .
Das fehlt für 5 Sterne plus .
Waren sehr sehr zufrieden . Danke

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub in diesem charmanten Haus. Die Lage ist toll, der Garten bezaubernd. Sauberkeit, Kommunikation etc. alles wunderbar. Das Haus braucht allerdings in nächster Zeit mal eine Renovierung. Küche, Fenster, Decken. Alles etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Sind etwas moderner Look wäre toll. Auch die Dachterrasse könnte schöner gestaltet werden, der Ausblick ist so wunderbar. Aber wie gesagt, das hat unseren tollen Urlaub nicht beeinträchtigt! Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit!

Vielen Dank für Ihre Meinung. Ich bin froh, dass Ihr Aufenthalt im Haus Ihnen angenehme Momente beschert hat. Das ist unsere Motivation. Der Stil des Hauses entspricht den charakteristischen Häusern der Algarve mit der Essenz des Ortes. Charmante alte Häuser, die wie in den Tagen der alten Fischer eine authentische Atmosphäre der Räume in der Nähe des Meeres ausstrahlen. Häuser mit Charakter, komfortabel und privat. Mit genügend Platz für eine große Familie, um sich bequem im Haus zu bewegen. Ruhig in der Nähe von Meer und Natur. Wir arbeiten an der Modernisierung der Küche, aber auch die Modernisierung der Küche wird im Sinne des Hauses fortgesetzt.
Wir würden uns freuen, Sie wieder begrüßen zu dürfen.
Villa mit schönem Garten und Pool in Gehdistanz von schönen Stränden und Restaurants. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt, aber es ist so Einiges am und im Haus in die Jahre gekommen was ersetzt oder aussortiert werden müsste. Preis-/ Leistungsverhältnis in der Hochsaison grenzwertig. Online Bilder entsprechen dem aktuellen Zustand. Leider hatten wir Einiges an Lärmbelästigungen zu erdulden, wegen einer in der Nähe gelegenen Baustelle und Unterhaltsarbeiten auf dem Nachbargrundstück.
