Wonderful family holiday

Spacious and cool property, well located near to Carvoeiro. Property had everything you would need and more, items such as balsamic vinegar and salt, pepper etc had been left which was great - many places dispose of this type of thing incuring unnecessary waste. The pool was ideal and the food at the restaurant was delicious. We would 100% return

Lovely stay

Fabulous! I highly recommend. Just a short walk to everything you need (about 25 min or so). We didn’t have a car and didn’t need one. On site restaurant was amazing. We took an Uber at the start to a supermarket to get our groceries for the week and that was just fine. Random groceries can be purchased down by Carvoeiro beach. Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

Villa Nova 2c Carvoeira

Much space, bedrooms and livingroom are big, nice to bbq, big kitchen, near swimming pool. When it’s very hot w’ll missed an airconditioning. It’s nice to have two bathrooms, but one needs an update. Enough space to park. A good location to explore the Algarve.

Enjoyable.

We did enjoy our stay but the fact that the garden lost the sun at around 3.30 was disappointing as at this time of year it was cold then. No English TV channels was disappointing. Needs new sofas. Good bedding and towels. Lovely bathrooms. Spotlessly clean.

Fantastic stay!

Lovely house in a lovely part of the world. The pool is clean and quiet. The outdoor patio allows for al fresco dinners. It is 15 min walking from the beach downhill and is just 3/3.80€ for a taxi/Uber back from town. Carvoeiro is lovely and has a lovely beach. It is very easy to find and near Portimao and another places. The boat tour to the caves is a must. This house is in a quite family friendly palced but you will not feel like you do not belong if you are not a family. The restaurant near the pool is lovely with fresh fish and really good wine. Very positive experience. We count on return! Excellent price for money

This is our third visit to this apartment. Clean apartment. Large living area, had been updated a bit from last year. Appreciated the new chairs in the entrance porch where we tend to play cards in evening. Dining area off living room has table to comfortably seat 6.Main bedroom and en-suite recently updated. Second bedroom (twin) comfortable. Main bathroom with separate shower could do with up grading, although shower works very well. Well equipped kitchen. Plenty crockery etc. Beginning to look dated but very functional. Excellent Pool and restaurant on site. Helpful host easy to contact. Hope to return.

Improvements

Whilst we were happy with the accomodation we must complain about 2 issues. The pillows were old and very stained .Also the towels were so thin you could see through them. The bath taps were extremely stiff and very little water came out. These issues we managed and overall we enjoyed our stay. The restaurant was excellent. We would have liked more information in the apartment about walking to the beach and town as we thought we were near enough to do this - there was never any parking available if we took the car. Perhaps we should have made more enquiries.

Relaxation

We have visited this area for many years. This is our second stay at 2C Vila Nova. Property is spacious. Plenty seating areas. Comfortable settees in lounge. Main bedroom and en-suite modernised recently. Beds comfortable. Kitchen well equipped,could do with an update as could 2nd bathroom. Showers are good. We had to ask for outdoor loungers as one broke and others were in a bad state. Quickly replaced with extra loungers from pool area. Lovely shared pool just 30 second walk from apartment as well as a small toddler pool. Plenty of restaurants in town but we can’t find any to beat the on site Vila Nova restaurant. The chef’s fish cookery is excellent. Never had a sub-standard meal here.Staff are friendly and welcoming. Property is ideally situated, 15 minute walk to town centre Can walk back but it is uphill. Taxis readily available. We hired a car as my husband is not able to walk far. Did a lot of sightseeing and visited other areas of Algarve easily. This is a quiet area so suits older couples and young children alike. Another very enjoyable relaxing holiday in the Algarve
