It seems we were incredibly unlucky. The previous tenants had caused damage and mess. So the driveway gate was out of use, the advertised smart TV was unavailable and we couldn’t get into the villa until 6.15pm on our first day. Our first weekend then tarnished by a neighbour down the hill playing loud music for 4-5 hours each day. The villa itself is of a good quality. A lovely pool, well-equipped kitchen and 3 good bedrooms.

Good size secure property on split level with everything needed for a relaxing break. Well equipped, a good sized pool with easy access from the main road. Close to village with many shops, bars and restaurants, and 15 minute walk to a lovely beach. The villa is set back far enough where it was very quiet away from the centre. The steep hills certainly works up your appetite but not too difficult. Many thanks to Patricia for her rapid response on the last day. It was much appreciated. In all, a relaxing holiday.

A well-appointed house with all we needed. Perfect for a family with youngish children. The pool was great for the 7-year old, starting at 1m and going down to about 1.6m. The location is excellent as it is an easy walk into the town and onto the beach, and rubbish bins just at the top of the road. The little store down the road has fresh rolls and croissants, and a bit further down is a bigger supermarket (which we didn't use, but went for big shops to the Intermarche 5 mins drive away, or for full French supermarket provision to the Auchan in Portimao). Great icecream places in Corvoiero. Wanted to eat earlier than most restaurants opened, but GumTree and Villa Medici are open all afternoon and the food was good.

The villa is beautiful and the pool is amazing. It is not very easy to walk anywhere (due to the hills & the heat). The house is incredibly well equipped. The kitchen is large and being able to sit outside to eat in the shade is lovely. The bedrooms are huge, each with an en suite. It is less than a 5 min drive to Carvoiero & the local Inter-Marche is good. Is it a great base for touristy activities.

We had an enjoyable time in the villa. Communication from Telma was excellent. The rooms were spacious and clean and each had an ensuite shower. Everything about the villa was great apart from the lack of shutters in the master bedroom, and inadequate curtains. The room gets the afternoon sunshine and becomes excessively hot. Overall though, we would recommend this villa for anyone looking to holiday in Carvoeiro.

Downstairs area really lovely Garden area well maintained Lovely pool Pool chairs were good quality Position of villa to town centre very good and very handy shop only five minutes walk away which we used daily

We enjoyed being at the villa. We missed a coffee machine (nespresso). Wifi was not functioning properly. Terrace and pool are great.

A great 10 day trip to the Algarve, with this wonderful 3 bed villa as our base. Everything was clean and well appointed. Good size pool (heated which was nice) and alll rooms fully air conditioned.
