My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks in this clean and modern townhouse. The two story apartment with rooftop patio is just minutes away by foot from Carvoeiro beach and the centre of town. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first level (no lugging of suitcases required) are small by N. American standards and all beds were N. American double but very comfortable. As we had 3 bedrooms for 2 people we had our own bed and bathroom. The view from the main living area and rooftop patio is of the ocean and beach with lots of sunshine in the afternoon and beautiful sunsets. We were delighted with the lack of noise even though the townhouse is situated in the middle of town. The HVAC worked beautifully (we used the AC once on a particularly warm day and the heat a few mornings to take the chill off). The kitchen is well equipped, the showers in each bathroom (no tub) had lots of hot water and good pressure and we had ample towels. The mid stay clean was appreciated. The management company was very responsive when we failed to run the taps long enough to draw hot water! A minor complaint is the dim lighting in the bedrooms and bathrooms. And a warning to visitors not used to the narrow European roads: the lane leading to the apartment and the parking stall are extremely tight. We did not have a car but even our taxi driver wouldn’t come up the lane to the apartment. The main road to the apartment is quite steep, as our many of the streets. Better lighting on lower level.

What a beautiful location, high above the town, with views out to the sea! But.. to get to that beautiful location there is a large hill to climb, just keep in mind...the view and villa are well worth it! ( We are 4- 70 plus year olds, but we made it) The villa was well equipped with towels, kitchen appliances, etc. The beds were comfy, wifi was spotty, the washing machine kept tripping the power, and no dryer except mother nature's sun, but again..that view makes it all worthwhile! Had a fabulous 6 day stay!

worth it
