About this apartment rental
Our apartment is localized in a small complex of 6 units and has its own Private Garden. The beautiful Pool is situated in the communal area. The building is only 15 years old and the finishing is completed after the latest high luxury standards. There are electric window shutters and insect screens. All compartments have floor-heating. The apartment is well adapted for longer stays and residence living.Long-Stayers are very welcome in this comfortable, modern and well equipped house. Because of the stable glass fiber internet connection, the place is very suitable for Digital Nomads! Rates for 28 days or longer don't include electricity.
Self-catering will be easy in the very complete kitchen with cooker, oven, micro-wave, dish-washer, washing machine, dryer, etc. It has a romantic fire-place in the living room. There is entertainment with digital flat screen TV in the living room and a flat screen 32' in the Master bedroom. The Master bedroom has a Kingsize double bed and the second bedroom (with direct access to the terrace) has two single beds that can be joined if wanted. All beds are comfortable box-springs and there are plenty pillows. Many good reading spots are located in the rooms. The apartment is situated in the charming Algarvian scenery. Within 100m. you are in the natural reserve 'Cliffs of Algarve' for endless walking, enjoying the stunning ocean views.
The location is also ideal for beach holidays: the entrance of the most beautiful Praia da Marinha is at 200m. The first restaurants are at walking distance and Carvoeiro, Lagoa and various Golf-courses are at a few minutes drive!
Where are we?: Praia da Marinha is really in the middle of the Algarve. So, our apartment is really ideal for any activity in this region. The Algarvian landscape is at its best around Carvoeiro. The villas are spacious scattered in this area and they alternate with rural areas. The compound is situated in a very quiet part, although close to the beach. The reserve 'Cliffs of the Algarve' starts at only 100m from our place. The entrance to the beach of Praia da Marinha (the most beautiful Algarvian beach) is at 200m from the apartment. There are many beaches nearby (Albandeira, Benagil, Carvoeiro Centrum, Praia da Rocha, Armação da Pêra) and it is a fantastic starting point for exploring trips along the coastline. Most of these beaches have small restaurants.
Golf Courses through the whole Algarve can be easily reached. There is a good connection (2 Km) with the main coast road 'N125' that connects all places in the Algarve from the east to the west. You will find the highway 'A22' immediately behind the N125. Lisbon is at 2,5hs drive. Faro at 45 min. and the Spanish border is also very close. You will find mountains with great views in Monchique with a thermal spa and forest.
Enjoy the luxury and comfort of the house!: Although it is quoted as an apartment, you will experience the house as a VILLA! From the living room you enter directly the Private Garden with its large covered terrace. The climate is mild in wintertime and never too hot in the summer. You can enjoy the outside life all the year around . The barbecue is waiting for you! The terrace is also ideal for dinners at night with candle light.
The furniture, equipment and the finishing are made for people with a sophisticated taste. The entertainment is great: 3 digital flatscreen TVs with the MEO channels. There is Netflix and Youtube at the TV in the lounge.
For colder nights there is a comfortable -easy to manage- floor-heating system, also in the bathrooms. The
fire-place in the living room has a front window and a heat recycling system that guarantees a cosy romantic climate.
The compound has its own free parking.
Our manager will help you with the equipment and to find your way.
Culture, leisure, sight-seeing: Golfers are very welcome! There are many courses nearby or easy to reach. The Pestana Golf Academy offers instruction and their driving range, putting area and chipping ground have free access.
For those who want to play tennis, there are plenty of courts at the Carvoeiro Tennis Club: hard court and Padel courts. Hard courts are also available in Rocha Brava. In both clubs, they offer lessons and you can play tournaments.
Karting is possible at different places: Portimão, Almancil and Albufeira.
Parasailing (motorized flying over the Algarve) has its starting point in Portimão.
There are several stables for horse-riding: in Silves (riding in the mountains), Lagoa and Portimão.
The yearly traditional festival of Lagoa is in September. Flea markets are organized on certain Sundays in Lagoa.
It is worth to do a culinary discovery along the numerous nearby restaurants: fish and green wine (vinho verde)!

The apartment is spacious, well-equipped, and close to a beautiful beach with great views. The pool, private garden, and location for hiking are perfect. Communication with the owner was swift and detailed. Ideal for families or couples.

The apartment is a walk from the beautiful Marinha beach with it’s coves, and a great Hanging valley nature walk with spectacular views. We made use of the pool at the apartment and chilled Reading on the sun loungers. The apartment is spacious and well equipped, it made a difference to have an extra towels.
It had a washing machine and dryer which was used.
We did find it difficult not having any air con at time as it was so hot and the were no fans in the apartment, however as soon as i mentioned this you supplied us with a fan.
We all enjoyed our holiday and would definitely recommend staying at your lovely apartment.
It was a pity it was so away from Carvoeiro but it was also so nice to be a walk from the amazing beach xx

Property was easy to book and communication with the property owner was good with immediate replies to any questions I had.
Property was in an excellent location, very quiet, but close to town to get stuff where needed.
Pool was an added bonus.
Will book again.

This is a large, beautifully decorated, and well equipped flat very close to one of the most beautiful beaches in the Algarve, with a nice pool and private garden. Opposite to what is currently shown in google street view, there is a new and nice sidewalk down the ca 350 meters (5 min walk) to the beach; driving would make no sense at all. The optimised path through the bushes to Benagil beach (with its nearby famous cave) is also only around 15 min hike. Great for combining hiking in proximity to coastal landscape (both towards west and east) and water activities.
We chose the place due to its quiet location in proximity of beautiful nature, while not being remote: Well placed strategically to Silves (ca 20 min drive), shopping (ca 10 min), evening walks/ice cream/swim in Carvoiero (10 min) as well as exploring e.g. Sagres (the previously suspected "end of the world") and Lagos on the way for longer tours. We had considered basing ourselves in Lagos and were relieved to have chosen this rental unit instead.
The road passing the house (Casa Catharina) is mostly blocked (at least in high season) due to limited access to the parking lot at the famous beach, hence there is only limited traffic on the (hence quiet) road (as a guest with parking space on the property it is of course possible to leave and enter the premises and area by car).
Very swift communication with owner and manager. Very commendable with detailed instructions and information ahead of stay.
Ideal for a family with teenage kids or up to two couples.
Two separate beautiful bathrooms.
Thank you Marisa for making the stay possible.

Leider zu einer schlimmen Zeit
Es war wie immer schön in der Algarve,
nur kam dann auch das Virus nach Portugal und das hat den Urlaub sehr sorgevoll gemacht .
Da kann aber die Algarve noch die schöneFerienwohnung etwas dazu .

Casa tranquila y amplia
La vivienda es confortable y completa, muy tranquila para el descanso. La zona de jardín está muy cuidada y es agradable para tomar el sol y hacer comidas al aire libre.
La piscina común está muy cuidada y poco concurrida de gente, se podría decir que casi privada.
A la playa se puede ir caminando, tiene preciosas vistas y suele estar concurrida.
El personal que nos recibió fue muy agradable y profesional.

Abseits vom Touristenstrom
Die Wohnung war schön, gut ausgestattet, sauber und ruhig. Es gibt in der Nähe viel zu tun, aber man braucht ein Auto, um einzukaufen oder essen zu gehen. Wer Ruhe in schöner Landschaft sucht, ist hier richtig.

Wonderful apartment very close to amazing beaches
The apartment is very comfortable and well equipped; the kitchen is one of the best equipped I have experienced in self catering apartments. The shaded terrace and shutters meant that when we came in from a hot day outside the apartment was lovely and cool. The insect screens on the windows are sensible and allow a breeze while keeping the mozzies (mostly) out. Showers were good and there were lots of towels! The private garden is very private and green; the table tennis table was much appreciated and well used by our teenagers. Although the pool is shared it was never too busy, we often had it to ourselves whenever we wanted.
In terms of location close to Praia de Marinha it couldn't be better- 5 minutes walk to the top of the steps leading down to the beach. Thank goodness we didn't need to drive as the road gets incredibly congested as the beach is very popular. We found a quieter beach about 5 minutes walk along the clifftop path eastwards. The path runs along the cliffs for miles and is a lovely walk in the evening.

Schöne Wohnung mit allem, was man braucht
Lage und Ausstattung der Wohnung entsprechen der Beschreibung, es ist wirklich sehr schön! Der Kontakt zur Vermieterin war sehr angenehm, schön vorab gab es umfassende Informationen. Die Wohnung ist ideal geeignet, die Algarve kennenzulernen und bietet schon quasi vor der Haustür eine wunderschöne Bucht zum Sonnen und Baden oder auch Möglichkeiten zum Wandern an der Küste. Wir werden gerne einmal wiederkommen.

Schöner Urlaub
Ja, wir hatten einen sehr schönen Urlaub, in dem alles sehr gut geklappt hat. Nochmals vielen Dank für die Möglichkeit so früh in das Apartement einziehen zu können.
Und natürlich für die vielen hilfreichen Infos vor Vertragsschluss und direkt vor Beginn der Reise. Das ist wirklich vorbildlich und lange nicht bei allen Vermietern üblich. Besonders positiv ist uns aufgefallen, dass die Beschreibungen auch den tatsächlichen Gegebenheiten vor Ort entsprechen. Auch das ist lange nicht überall so.

Beautiful apartment in a peaceful yet convenient location.
The listing and photos shown on the website were very accurate! The apartment was clean, well looked after and very well equipped. There was lots of space for a family of 4. The outside space was lovely, very peaceful and again well equipped. We made use of the BBQ, full size table tennis table and chairs / table most days! The internet was a real bonus.
The pool was even better than expected. It was very deep at one end and bigger than the pictures indicated. Most of the time it was just us using the pool, but even when a few other families turned up, there was enough space. Very well maintained with plenty of sun loungers!
The apartment is in a beautiful location, very close to the beach. From the beach, you can walk in either direction along the cliff tops and find smaller, less crowded beaches. It is just a short drive from Carvoeiro, where there are plenty of shops / restaurants and facilities. Also just a 15 minute drive away is the waterpark, which the children loved (a bonus that we didn't have to drive too far!).
All in all a great choice and thanks to Marisa for being such a great host and keeping in touch from the moment we booked until we left!

Traumhafte Wohnung – tolle Lage
Das Apartment lässt keine Wünsche offen und die Ausstattung ist hervorragend. Die Küche ist bestens mit Geschirr sowie Marken-Elektrogeräten eingerichtet. Es gibt mehr und bessere Fernsehgeräte als auf den Fotos zu sehen, insgesamt drei Flachbildschirme (internationale und deutsche Programme). Das Internet funktioniert einwandfrei.
Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin ist angenehm, die von ihr bereitgestellten Informationen sind umfassend und die Betreuung durch den Vertreter vor Ort ist vorbildlich. In der kleinen Wohnanlage hat man viel Ruhe und zum Strand kann man bequem zu Fuß gehen. Praia da Marinha ist einer der schönsten Strände der Algarve! Für Ausflüge oder auch Einkäufe in der Umgebung ist ein Mietwagen absolut empfehlenswert. Es gibt viele moderne Supermärkte, die damit in wenigen Minuten zu erreichen sind.
Wir verbrachten herrliche zehn Tage in dieser sehr zu empfehlenden Unterkunft. Auch unseren mitreisenden Kindern (15 und 18 Jahre) hat es sehr gefallen.

Heerlijke woning centraal in de Algarve
Heerlijk huis, van alle gemakken voorzien. Met uitzonderlijk goede bedden!
De plek is centraal en toch weg van al het drukke toerisme.
Het afhandelen van de reservering en het storten van de borgsom verliep perfect.

Fantastisch verblijf in februari/maart /2015
Wij hadden een heerlijk verblijf in dit van alle gemakken voorziene appartement. Bedden, beddengoed, keukenequipment, etc, alles was prima in orde. Wij genoten van de prachtige omgeving - op loopafstand van de strandjes van Marinha en Benagil - van dit mooi en rustig gelegen appartement.
We hadden weliswaar geen uitzicht op zee, maar dit werd gecompenseerd door de mooi besloten tuin, waar we op ligbedden en uit de wind heerlijk genoten van rust en ontspanning. Op het buitenterras elke morgen heerlijk in de zon kunnen ontbijten. Kortom een prima verblijf en we komen graag nog eens terug.

Schöne Anlage!!! Perfekte Ausgangslage
Wir haben eine sehr angenehmen und erholsame Woche an der Algarve verbracht. Die Lage der Wohnung ist ideal. Der wunderschöne Strand Praia de Marinha ist in knapp 10 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Die meisten Ausflugsziele an der Algarve sind mit dem Auto in angemessener Zeit erreichbar. Die kleine Anlage
rund um die Wohnung ist sehr ruhig und sehr gepflegt (eingezäunte
Parkmöglichkeiten, sehr gepflegtes Schwimmbad..). Die Wohnung ist mit hochwertige(n) Elektrogeräten, Badausstattung und sehr guten Betten ausgestattet. Sie verfügt über eine schöne Terrasse und Garten, so dass wir sämtliche Mahlzeiten im Freien einnehmen können. Wir hoffen, in naher Zukunft wieder einmal unseren Urlaub hier verbringen zu können.

Relaxing quiet stay in the Algarve
The place is a few minute short drive (or a 10 minute walk) to the most beautiful beach in the Algarve. It is in a quiet complex of six apartments and has a nice fully private backyard with pingpong table and loungers. The pool is steps away and is lovely and cool. The place was clean and comfortable. Note: You must provide garbage bags, dish soap etc. for your stay as they are not included and there is no extras in the kitchen such as oil or spices (except a few items here and there left over from previous guests). Also, the channels on TV do not include any English except for news. Overall, It is a great choice for a family or couple; we really enjoyed our memorable stay. Thank you!

Echt luxe appartement, heerlijke bedden, 2 riante badkamers.Overal horren. Zelfs een afwasmachine. Omgeving is prachtig. Je loopt binnen 10 minuutjes naar een schitterend zandstrand, met aan beide kanten rotsen. Op deze kliffen kun je geweldig mooie wandelingen maken.Het enige wat ik miste was een parasol en stoeltjes voor het strand.Met de nederlands sprekende eigenaresse heb ik zeer prettig contact via de mail gehad, zeer correcte snelle terugbetaling van de borg.Ook beheerder Pedro ter plaatse is een zeer vriendelijke man. We mochten een paar uurtjes langer blijven omdat we een late vlucht hadden en het huis niet aansluitend werd verhuurd. Heel plezierig voor ons en daar werden geen extra kosten voor berekend.
