Clare was easy to connect with. The Management company was great … and Paula who cleaned the house three times a week was amazing … when you opened the door upon returning home, it had a new home smell! Didn’t heat or use the pool as it was a bit too cold in March for swimming. We easily found everything we needed in the home to live comfortably for the month of March.
The property was fantastic and provided everything required (and more) for a family holiday.The swimming pool was a particular highlight which was more than big enough to swim in .
All.of the above. Host was efficient and responsiveThere was mu h appreciated maid service which i have never encountered in another VRBO. Accommodations were lovely and very well stocked. Pool was great and heated. I would highly recommend this property
The property was as described. It was very clean and well equipped. Communication with the hosts was quick and seamless. We were able to walk to many restaurants and into town. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.
The villa was wonderful and the view towards the ocean idyllic. We walked to many of the good restaurants in the area and the beach and beach bar. We chose not to heat the pool and it was freezing!! This did not stop my sister from swimming 30 laps all 10 days we were there!! We needed a car to visit the towns along the coast but were always happy to return to our "home base".
We had a wonderful stay and really glad we had the pool heated and the bathroom heated clothes racks. We had a car but took walks to the ocean and restaurants. Host was super friendly and responsive. Highly recommend.
Really enjoyed staying at the property, beautifully furnished and communication was excellent throughout. Close to a number of lovely beaches including one that was just a short walk away. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a special place to stay in the Algarve.
The house is clean, very well equipped and spacious with great outdoor arets and a large pool. The location is great. It is not far to the beach or to the town of Carvoeiro. The area has everything an active family needs. It is not far to an open open football field, golf, water activities, tennis or padel tennis. The host is so helpfull and friendly. We hope to come back
Beautiful felt like home close to delicious restaurants interesting castles to visit quaint little villages and wonderful people cleaning ladies pool boy and gardener kept villa in order the house has some wear and but nothing unusual
Very comfortable
Excellent property and location. Very quiet and near good restaurants. Furnished to a high standard Large swimming pool. We had some issues with electricity while we were there which was attended to very promptly by agent supported by owner.
The property was perfect for our group! The fence off pool was excellent with our young grandchildren and the host heated it for us to a perfect temperature. The home is located in a quiet area away from downtown Carvoeiro, which is what we were looking for. The home was kept clean with regular cleaning days. We had a wonderful two weeks here!
A fantastic five night stay. My wife and I travelled with our two children (ages 5 and 16 months). The outdoor setup was exactly what we wanted. Huge patio with an awesome pool. Nice rooftop place to hang if you desire. The area has a ton of great spots to visit nearby. Interior was well stocked with everything you need. Hope to be back!
Our stay was fabulous! We loved everything about our visit. Exploring the area and tours we took were very enjoyable. The people of Portugal are so friendly and warm. We will definitely be returning to Portugal! Our only complaint was the internet service which was unreliable.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 February 2025
Thank you for your review. We are sorry you experienced an issue with the internet during your stay. This outage was caused by an electrical fault which resulted in a malfunctioning transformer. This was resolved by the management company, replacing the unit as soon as they were aware of the issue. The villa has the fastest fibre optic broadband connection available to us and we’ve never experienced any issues with either speed or reliability.
Villa was huge and comfortable, communication was excellent and pool was lovely and warm with the heating. Kids spent most of the week happily swimming and splashing and enjoying food at Jota Lita in Carvoeiro. Many thanks for a fab holiday.
This house was one of the best house we have ever rentes on Vrbo. Big, clean, nice pool and outdoor areas and very well equipped. The hostess was so helpfull and welcomming and the maid so sweet. The house is located in a quiet area, but close ti the beach and Carvoeiro center. We loved this house and hope to return!
Lovely villa in a great location with all the amenities required for a relaxing stay. Size of pool was excellent, and deciding to have it heated was the right decision. Claire was very responsive to our questions.

About the host
Hosted by Clare Puri
We are a couple from Surrey and first came to Carvoeiro and stayed at this villa in 1993 with our two young children. Since then we have holidayed in many villas in Europe and often been disappointed with low levels of service. So when we eventually bought this villa in 2002 after much pestering from the children, we were determined to provide the best in terms of comfort and cleanliness for our guests. No more lumpy mattresses and dusty sofas and temperamental grimy showers! Over the years we have made a number of improvements, including replacing the sofas, curtains, décor, upgrading all the beds with the best mattresses we could find, a new kitchen and two brand new luxury bathrooms (and lots of other things such as drains and pumps which are not visible). It is a true home from home for us, and our favourite place to relax together or with friends no matter what time of year. We have done our best to make this a great place to stay and it really thrills us when we learn that our guests have really enjoyed it, just as we do, year after year. We hope you will enjoy your stay at Vivenda Centeanes and make it a regular place to visit.
