Just got back from a fabulous stay at John's apartment in Monte Dourado!
We arrived late at night, so although reception was closed, John had arranged for the key and directions to be left securely in a lock box, which was ideal as we were very tired from travelling.
On entering, and despite seeing the photos online, we were blown away by the size and cleanliness of the apartment! A long hallway leads into the large living / dining room with sliding patio door onto the huge patio. The views from here are amazing, overlooking the town and surrounding area and directly over the beach with its beautiful sunsets and ever-changing light! The balcony was very well appointed furniture-wise, with every type of patio furniture available.
There are two good size bathrooms, two large bedrooms - the master having a very comfy king size bed with crisp, clean bedding - and the twin bedroom looked equally comfortable, though we only used this room for storage. Both bedrooms have plenty wardrobe space and lots of hangers!
The kitchen has every full size appliance plus coffee maker microwave etc... and tons of cutlery and crockery!
The living / dining room is vast and very nicely and comfortably furnished. The TV has English channels.
The complex itself was beautifully maintained and the apartment was absolutely perfect! Towels were changed and bins emptied twice during our week.
All in all, a fabulous apartment, even better than it looks online and we loved the location and Carvoeiro itself!
