About this villa rental
A beautiful villa that has something for everyone…
Please note that the pool cannot be heated between November and March, as the nights become too cold to be able to maintain the water temperature, and the fee to have it switched on is now £200 per week.
Imagine a large beautiful white villa in the Algarve, bathed in sunlight around a tranquil heated pool. You can wander round the enclosed grounds and gardens to find a shady spot and perhaps pluck a lemon from one of the lemon trees for your G&T that you’ll have at sunset on the roof terrace, listening to your favourite tunes, whilst taking in the stunning sea views and mountains.
Maybe you are there with your loved ones or friends, enjoying a barbeque by the pool or finding your own quiet space on one of the several terraces and seating areas.
Perhaps in the evening you’ll take a stroll down to the town to decide which fabulous restaurant to eat in, whilst deciding what do to next day. Shall you play golf at one of the nearby clubs or nip to the tennis club and spa. Or maybe the kids will want to go to one of the waterparks, if you can get them off the Xbox or the table football in the villa.
Vila Eira Dos Moinhos is a gorgeous traditional villa with a 10m x 5m private pool (which can be heated for an additional £200 per week), set in a large mature garden with orange, lemon and palm trees, in walled grounds.
The house, in a quiet residential area of Carvoeiro, is designed for total relaxation, privacy and enjoyment for couples, families of all ages or friends holidaying together.
Set within well-tended grounds with mature shrubs, striking palms and cacti, its peaceful location is also ideal for those wishing to be close to restaurants, local shops and a mere twenty-minute walk from several beaches, or just a few minutes drive. The local golf course is just 1 mile away.
The large grounds provide plenty of space for everyone and be able to maintain privacy. The large driveway to the front is enclosed by electric gates, with plenty of parking for several cars. There are orange and lemon trees as well as herbs for those wanting to avail themselves.
The stunning pool is undoubtedly a highlight and can be enjoyed during the day and at night with the recently installed mood lighting.
For little ones, there are gates provided for peace of mind, which can be utilised around the pool area as well as the villa grounds enclosed by walls with electric gates to the front.
The interior of the villa is traditional with contemporary touches such as a Dolce Gusto coffee machine in the kitchen.
We now have a table football and swings to keep the kids (both big and small) entertained, as well as an XBox.
From the kitchen, the dining area has views looking across the valley towards the mountains. There are also patio doors to the internal courtyard, for some al fresco dining, where there is a built in BBQ, table and chairs and stairs leading up to the roof terrace. There is also a small outdoor fridge to keep drinks cool in the sun, so you don’t have to keep going back to the kitchen.
The roof terrace has recently been refurbished and boasts panoramic sea and mountain views. It’s the perfect spot for sundowners, overlooking the sun-drenched pool and gardens, from the comfort of the sofas or sun loungers.
There are several areas for outside dining: by the pool area are 2 large seating areas, one covered for those wanting shade to enjoy meals, whilst keeping an eye on the kids in the pool. Adjacent to these seating areas is another BBQ area.
The ground floor is flooded with light through the sets of patio doors which open onto the internal courtyard and another overlooking the pool. In the living area, you’ll find a flat screen TV with full selection of English channels, DVD player leather sofas to sink into after an action-packed day…or a day lounging at the beach or pool. One of the sofas can be converted into a bed, so if there are 8 people in your party, we can accommodate the extra 2 guests for a small additional daily rate.
Each of the bedrooms have doors opening onto terraces overlooking the pool. The master bedroom opens onto a terrace with its own dining area and the other bedrooms’ terrace also have their own table and chairs. All bedrooms now have airconditioning.
Carvoeiro has a wide selection of bars and a large variety of shops and restaurants, which are found within easy walking distance of the villa.
There are several beaches in walking distance:
Carvoeiro beach with lovely golden sands and dramatic cliffs.
Praia do Carvalho, a stunning, small, sheltered beach, accessed via a tunnel with a beautiful view of a stack in the sea, it lile a smuggler’s cove.
There are some great features to this beach, the entrance in is amazing and there is also a small room carved into an area to the left of the steps. Kids love it!
Vale Centianes is the beach that the locals in Carvoeiro come to.
Being the closest large beach to Carvoeiro and within walking distance, it’s a good alternative to the beach in the centre of town.
The facilities here are very good with the beach activities, restaurant and concessions all being run well and available throughout the summer months.
One of our favourite beaches, Praia da Marinha, is a short drive away.
This beach has been voted as one of the most beautiful in the world and from the moment you step out of the car you can see why.
Wind your way down the pretty step pathway to the beach itself which has incredible views of the stacks out to sea.
Because it is award winning, the beach is very popular, especially in the high season but don't let this put you off as there is plenty of space for everyone at high tide with a small beach area in front of the restaurant and a larger area that can be accessed at lower tide times round to the right.
This is a lovely, family-friendly part of the glorious Algarve coast and in Vila Eira Dos Moinhos, you are guaranteed a perfect holiday home from which to enjoy it.
Faro airport is only 45 minutes away by car. Airport transfer and car hire can be arranged upon request.

Stayed in a wonderful Villa with amazing rooftop views and a pool to die for...sunny and warm weather...what more could you ask for
4.8
What a fantastic villa, we were a party of 4 adults, 2 teenagers and a 2 year old. Doug was fantastic and helpful throughout the booking process answering all queries and assisting with the bed arrangements for our young son. The villa has so many areas that even in a big party you never feel overcrowded, there are several different area in which to eat, we found the centre courtyard where the roof access was the coolest in the evenings which also had a BBQ for us to use. When the teenagers wanted away there are several different balconies and of course the roof terrace with amazing views, which was also good for start gazing in the evenings. The pool was fantastic with shaded eating areas nearby and my 2 year old would several times a day insist we took him on a tour of the gardens to see the wonderful flowers, look for geckos and to see the lovebirds which nest in the large palm tree. We had 2 cars and the front area had plenty of room for them and for more with electronic gates for security. Piece of mind with the gates around the pool to ensure the little could not go down near the pool, unattended. The maid, gardeners, pool cleaners and TLC were all very friendly and helpful when they attended. There is an intermarche near by for your shopping and Carvoeiro beach was just a short drive away. This was such a fantastic holiday in an lovely villa with amazing views we are all looking to see if we could do it again as we would all love to come back to Villa Eira Dos Moinhos.

Really really Nice house, place, pool. We had a very Nice holiday. I should say book this one if you go to Carvoeiro.

We were a party of 5, 4 adults and a 3 year old. The villa is approx 25 min walk from the town and in a quiet location. During the day relaxed by the pool and ventured into town in evening where there were varied types of restaurants to choose from (starter and mains with beer or wine ranges from 20 to 30 Euros). Taxi back approx. 7 Euro ( don’t forget to stock up on supplies for villa). Ventured to Praia do Vale de Centeanes beach one day, lovely and clean with a reasonably priced beach side restaurant. Prior to our visit and during the owner and management company kept in touch with us with good advice on villa and amenities. Taxi from and to airport arranged via management company was on time and hassle free. Had a problem with the pump to the swimming pool failing which cut out power to certain lights and sockets at villa, however, an electrician was sent out promptly and at the villa within 1 hour to sort out the power. The loss of heating to swimming pool was a small inconvenience ( through the pump failure) but the owner/ management company immediately reimbursed us for this loss on our return. Can’t fault the owner or management company.

"This is what a villa SHOULD look like" said the 14-year-old as we arrived. Even though it was past midnight, we couldn't resist a swim straightaway in the warm, well-lit pool.
We loved the space - so many different areas for our varied party, including the roof for romantic evenings and the courtyard for sheltered bbqs. Everything worked in the kitchen and bathrooms. We appreciated the coffee machine and the juicer - fresh oranges from the garden!
For the first 3 days we walked to Carvoeiro with its restaurants, sandy beach and shops, and to other lovely beaches, then we hired a car to explore. There's lots to do: 2 weeks would have been better!
It can get a little windy in the afternoons in May and we soon got into a routine of beautiful bay in the morning, pool party (excellent speaker) in the afternoon.
Recommendations - Slide and Spash was a great waterpark - loads of rides to amuse us (aged 13-60) and very clean with lots of grassy space for sunbathing. We had a very good meal at Vale Do Milho.

Great villa for a relaxing week’s break in the sun. Excellent outdoor areas including a fantastic pool and bbq grills to enjoy, and the villa is kept in great condition. Thanks for a great stay.
4.8
a little disappointed with master ensuite basin has no way holding water used a plastic kitchen food container as so much water wasted otherwise
4.8
This property was recommended to us as a family stay and it didn’t disappoint. The whole booking process with Doug and Vrbo was faultless, as was his communication about the villa, directions and checking in process.
There is an abundance of outdoor space which the kids loved; exploring the gardens, collecting oranges and playing in the swings and the pool was a hit with the whole family.
The villa is clean and spacious and we enjoyed many a bbq in the courtyard, lunches by the pool and gin on the roof area while watching the sunset.
The villa is in a very quiet setting but was very close to Carvoeiro town/beach/restaurants and local supermarkets.
I would definitely recommend this property to anybody looking at the Carvoeiro area.

The Algarve is gorgeous & we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Villa; it was just perfect for our quiet retreat.
4.8
The villa was spacious and catered well for families. The outside space was amazing; so many places to sit and read or to dine. We loved having our meals in the courtyard/ patio garden, weather permitting. We paid to have the pool heated and it was well worth it. The children aged 10 and 13 loved the pool and exploring all the outside spaces. We managed a couple of sundowners on the roof top terrace which was amazing. The seating up there was so comfortable. There were a few restaurants within walking distance but it's not too far to go into Carvoiero. Doug, our host gave us lots of information and the management company responded quickly to a problem we had. A car is essential to get out and about as there are so many beautiful beaches to choose from and some great walks over the boardwalks.
4.8
This is a beautiful villa. The hill top location offers 360 views. The ground are lush with palm trees and beautiful trees and bushes that are well maintained. The gated entrance with the private drive way is just a gorgeous preview of the villa itself. There are plentiful places/terraces/patios to enjoy during the day/evening including the roof terrace. The interior is cozy and a bit quirky, the outside spectacular. The pool is large enough to enjoy swimming. All amenities were as described. The property managers took care of (minor) problems the same day and where very helpful. There are no intrusive neighboring properties so you can enjoy full privacy. Shopping at the INTERMARCHE was very close and had an excellent selection of everything including wine! Excellent restaurants are 5-7 minutes away by car (Vila Nova, Vila Medici, Ghurka, Brasserie Rusal, Bistro Algar Seco) the Vale De Milho just 8 minutes by foot.
All in all 2 perfect weeks in a private paradise away from the bustle of Carvoeiro but close to the beautiful beaches and cliffs of the Algarve. We can only recomnend to come and stay!

Excellent. Particularly pool, patio, rooftop, kitchen equipment

We have been to Carvoeiro half a dozen times now and even married there back in 2015. My wife, children and myself all love it there. We have stayed at a few villas over the years and this one is right up there toward the top of the pile. The views from the roof are beautiful. There are no shortage of places to sit and chill. The courtyard is perfect for eating during the evening time once the sun has passed over and the roof is just amazing to sit with a few drinks as the sun goes down.
We were really grateful for the welcome pack of wine, beer, water, ham, cheese, bread etc. After a long day of travelling, its nice to have 'something' to drink upon arrival before doing the big shop.
The pool has an abundance of sun loungers with two sizeable parasols that actually do a great job of shading a large area for time out of the sun. Great for the kids when the sun is blazing down and they need a bit of time out.
Loads of towels provided both for the loungers/beach as well as for use in the villa. This was a massive bonus because previously we have used a lot of our weight limit taking beach towels in the cases.
The cleaner was lovely. She came twice during our stay and was super polite, and Nelson the pool guy, who we have met before, came to clean the pool when it started to get a bit cloudy. We made a quick call to the agent as we were concerned he wasn't due to come for a number of days. He arrived within 20 minutes and got straight to it. The water was crystal clear for the remainder of the stay.
Intermarche is around the corner and the town centre is within walking distance.
I will make mention of things that might need improvement, not that they detracted much from our stay but just because I think with these changes, there really would be nothing negative to say at all.
The air conditioning in a couple of the bedrooms could perhaps do with a service. They weren't getting very cold. Also the shower in the main bedroom en-suite was out of order for the duration of our stay. We all used the other bathroom to shower. Not exactly a deal breaker, but worth mentioning. The pool also isn't particularly deep. A benefit to some perhaps but we were extremely careful with the jumps and dives. There are signs stating 'no diving' due to the depth. We were mindful of this but didn't let it stop our fun.
Once again, a lovely, quiet, peaceful place to call home for a couple of weeks. Would 100% recommend and would certainly stay again.
4.8
We enjoyed a fantastic 2 weeks in July in this authentic villa. It was comfortable and spacious. The pool was huge. Easy to find and within walking distance of town. Lovely restaurant within a 5 minute walk called semi xo.
Easy to get a taxi into or back from the main town if you prefer not to walk.
Lots of great beaches close by.

Beautiful spacious villa and garden in a quiet location. Many places to sit out and enjoy the views. The pool was enjoyed by all. Would definitely return to this gem.

This was a lovely property with great outside space. Beautiful views all around. Paid to have the pool heated which was worth it.
A bit of a walk from town but all downhill and taxi back.
Was supposed to have a cleaner once during the week but didn’t get one although pool guy and gardeners were there.

If you wish to have quiet vacations, this is the right place.
Everything was clean and the house is well furnished so you can have your meals there.
The barbacue area is very pleasant.
The only thing that we have to point out is that one of the sofas in the living room was ruined (previous guests) and we needed to use dining chairs to sit on. However, Doug has alerted us for that situation.

Covid has obviously had an effect on upkeep of villa and outside areas were more neglected than expected.
Few issues with cleanliness on arrival which were quickly sorted by Doug.
Well located for exploring all of algarve, villa has good seating areas and nice rooftop views in evening . Good sized pool and nice to have big screens on all windows and doors .
Bit disappointed that condition of villa and outside areas was not as expected but I’m sure covid has a lot to answer for this .
Feel it is more the fault of letting agents not he owner .

An excellent week in August
The property was very conveniently situated - we walked into Carvoeiro for dinner each evening before enjoying late evening drinks on the roof terrace.

Communication with Doug was prompt; helpful and appreciated. The property managers were responsive, friendly & efficient. The Villa provided a 360 degree view inclusive of mountains & sea. The Villa was situated in a peaceful locale with easy access by car to the local towns, beaches & restaurants. The interior of the Villa was spotless and the exterior provided copious alternative view/ seating areas - highlighted by a beautiful pool. I know that Doug has embarked on an upgrading program which will only enhance the tranquil experience the Villa offers; which is perfect for a Family. We have already booked for next year.

Fantastic!
We had a great time here, there’s something for everyone, plenty of space, large garden, we barely left for the whole week.

Family holiday
Just returned from this fabulous villa after a week long stay. The outdoor space and pool area were absolutely fantastic with a great pool and a seating area for sun or shade at all times of the day and evening. Communication and information was great and we enjoyed trying the restaurants recommended by Doug in his very detailed welcome information email. The villa is very well equipped if staying in to eat or only a 20 minute walk to the top of the town and a €6.50 taxi ride back. Will definitely return! Thank you

Enjoyable holiday
Property really benefits from large outdoor spaces with lots of different places to relax and a lovely pool in a quiet location. Enjoyed the roof terrace especially in the evening watching the sun set. A range of large supermarkets are near by ( 5 minutes by car) and a walk into town takes around 20 minutes.

Perfect family villa holiday
We had an excellent 2 week stay! The villa was lovely with a great pool and lots of outdoor space. Location is excellent, and the property owner very helpful and quick to respond. We can’t wait to return!

Fabulous outdoor space
We just returned from a week and loved the outdoor space. The pool was the highlight for the kids, while us parents enjoyed the roof top deck sunsets and the amazing views. We also loved that the house was decorated in a more traditional style and not all "ikea'd" out - really added to the atmosphere. The house is well located and a quick 3 minutes drive to town and the beach and near several other attractions to keep the family busy. Doug was very responsive and went above and beyond what we would expect a host to do. We had a terrific week and enjoyed seeing the area.

Relaxing stay in well located villa
A lovely property, in a relaxing and tranquil setting. It has a great swimming pool with lots of different external sitting areas both in and out of the shade. It’s located close to lots of restaurants within walking distance and close to the Algarve most picturesque beaches. We will definitely be coming back.

Lovely Traditional Portuguese Villa
Great Villa, plenty of room for our family of 4, and lots of outdoor space, the roof terrace was great for an evening drink.
The villa was well equipped and had everything we needed.
Carvoeiro is a lovely town, and if you don't want to drive in the evening there are plenty of taxis or uber options.
Two really picturesque beaches nearby well wort a visit are Carvalho Beach and Marinha Beach
4.8
Third stay here, an excellent villa in a superb location.
Another stay in this superb villa. Suitably located for a 20 minute walk into Carvoeiro and a 6 euro taxi ride home. The 3 bedroom villa has numerous locations to relax, by the pool, on the terrace or on the roof. Pool is a great size, we had it heated and used it everyday during our May break. Smart TV and x box available too. 3 supermarkets within easy reach. Communication with the owner was excellent, emails always answered promptly. Hopefully return very soon

Great time had by all
This was our first visit to Portugal, and we really enjoyed it. The villa was great, really spacious and well equipped, everything in good repair and clean and tidy when we arrived. There were only four of us, but the villa would comfortably accommodate six. The outside space is a great feature of this villa - all the different terraces around the villa and on the roof, the sheltered sunny courtyard, the swings, the citrus trees, and of course the pool. We didn't quite have the weather to be able to enjoy the rooftop terraces as much as we would have liked, but then this was April. We paid for the pool to be heated, which wasn't cheap but was well worth it because we were able to go in the pool every day - even the two days it rained!
Any downsides to the villa? Not really. The only thing I would mention is, I had trouble with the locks on two of the sliding doors - I couldn't get them to lock properly, a good firm yank would open them. This isn't really a problem because there are stout metal shutters outside every door and window, it just means that you have to go round closing all the shutters before you go out / go to bed (you will almost certainly have been round and opened them all earlier, because the villa is quite dark with the shutters closed).
We had a car and drove ourselves from the airport - the villa was easily found with help of Google Maps. The car was handy - it was useful for shopping trips to the Intermarche about a mile away, and we were able to visit Alvor and Villamoura, as well a theme park and Lagos Zoo - but I wouldn't say a car is actually necessary because we loved Carvoeiro itself. The town is in easy walking distance - we walked in three or four times, takes 15-20 minutes - and has everything you could need in terms of shops, bars and restaurants. We ate in a different restaurant every night, had a good experience in every one of them, and there are probably 20 or 30 more that we didn't get to try. The feel of Carvoeiro was just right for us (family with children aged 10 and 12) - we liked Alvor and Villamoura for different reasons, but I think we will definitely base ourselves in Carvoeiro when we return to Portugal.

Beautiful Villa
Lovely villa with lots of excellent areas for sitting out in sun or shade, the gardens were well manicured and we had freshly squeezed oranges in the morning from the tree in the garden.
Bedrooms are spacious, the kitchen has everything you need and it has a cracking bbq in the courtyard which we used.
Would recommend having a car.
4.8
Great! Everything you needed for a fabulous, relaxing holiday. The roof terrace was our favourite.
We had such a good time and although we did get out and about in the mornings we loved just relaxing around the fabulous pool area. Food at the Thai Elephant was excellent and would highly recommend this very friendly restaurant. Fabulous holiday with some great memories!
