Overall, this villa was great for our family of twelve (ages two to 86!). The pool was lovely and the tennis court was fun. The two gardens were great for a treasure hunt for the kids! All bedrooms have ensuite, which was particularly useful, and there was more than enough crockery and glassware. Rudi and Kathleen were on hand if we had any questions, or needed anything. Just a few small points that would have made this five star. Our party included a couple of very keen pool players, so it was a disappointment that the pool table was so rickety and uneven, it was unusable. Also the table tennis bats could do with renewing, as they were all falling apart. If you have very young children, some sort of stair gate would have been helpful, although I'm not sure how one could be fitted. I'm sure that if you love the Algarve and you have a large family, you will love this villa.

For our family summer holiday Vivenda Summertime was perfect! The villa was spotlessly clean, stocked with every utensil you'd possibily need and lovely rooms and furnishings. The leather lounger in the living room is the comfiest chair in the world😀(I actually meant to ask Rudi or Kathleen where they got it as I couldn't find a label on it) The pool area is lovely, tennis court really well kept and the lemon tree kept us in fruit for drinks for 2 weeks😀 Rudi and Kathleen are lovely hosts and leave you to get on with your relaxing holiday but are there if you need them, like providing a wheelbarrow for 5 vists to the recycling bins up the road(mainly Super Bock bottles😂😂) The kids loved their time there and would return in a second as would we. Thanks very much to you both for providing your villa for others to enjoy. Hopefully we'll see you again😉

Good location - just a short drive from the village centre. Traditional property in a quite location but close enough to shops and supermarket. Excellent facilities and a lovely clean pool area. Would highly recommmend to family groups. Definitely one of the best villas we have stayed at on the Algarve.

spacious and well managed villa great facilities, pool, tennis, pool table, football table and table tennis table Rudi and Kathleen were on hand to help with advice, bookings and any general worries would highly recommend

Together with friends, we had a wonderfull stay at Vivenda Summertime, a hugh villa in a deadend street in Carvoeiro. Kathleen & Rudy were amazing hosts, always ready to help and share their favorite addresses with us. The rooms were spacious and super clean,as well as the nice pool. The kitchenequipment was fantastic for the foodlovers between us! Address on our yearly todo-list!!

This was a must stay at villa for large familys or groups,this was just perfect for our large group using all six bedrooms,and all things provided like the pool,tennis court,table tennis,pool table,and table football,and was also good for relaxing and sun bathing around the pool on the nice sunbeds.The kitchen,living room,dinning room,and balcony up stairs dinning area was good to use to help make this one of our best holidays.We also enjoyed our visit to the village Carvoeiro for nights out for eating and entertainment.

We are often in Carvoeiro staying at Casa Margarida, a small family villa just round the corner from Vivenda Summertime, but needed something large enough for a group. We were very pleased with our stay, Rudi and Kathleen could not have been more helpful, and the villa was clean, tidy and very well equipped. The pool was bracing (it was January!) but the tennis court great fun. It's easy to walk to the village for restaurants etc, but it is nice to be a little bit out of the bustle in the edge of the countryside. We will certainly plan to use it again when we need a bigger place.

We were a party of 12 ranging from 3yrs to 87yrs. WOW,was our first impression on arrival.Everything was beauifully clean and well equipped.Rudi and Kathleen made us feel very welcome and were on hand should we need them at any time.They prepared and served a wonderful meal for us all one evening and joined us afterwards for drinks.A lovely evening.We had many hours of fun in the pool,playing tennis and enjoying the garden and terrace in the evenings with tapas and wine.The town of Carvoeiro is a 20 minute walk with all the facilities you'd expect and a beach.We had a TukTuk tour, a little expensive but glad we did it. We would love to return again as a family, the only downside is going home.

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful, clean and very high standard villa with pool and tennis court. The house is close by the nice and relaxing Carvoeio beach village, just 5 minutes away with car. We were three families with kids and the house was perfect for our needs. The pool was nice and heated, the tennis court the best we have played on so far in our travels. The hosts were very friendly and helped us with every need. Just 10-15 minutes away were other beautiful and serene beaches. Loved the stay!

We were a three generation party of 13 people (ageing 8 months to 70 years) staying in Vivienda Summertime July 16-23 .The villa is very well equipped, very clean and there is something for everyone to enjoy in the property. Also a lot of different spaces to hang out if someone wanted some privacy. The heated pool (24-26 degrees) was most popular among all of us, but it was also very nice to have the small garden to get away just to read, play pool or watch the frogs. The tennis court was also a plus with a training machine avaliable. The rooms were spacious, with good beds and en suite bathrooms. We had a prefect stay and the service from Rudi and Kathleen was outstanding. The location of the villa is in a residental neighborhood but close to a lot of sights and close to good supermarkets. It is possible to walk to Carvoeiro centre, but maybe a bit longer than anticipated and uphill on the way back, which might be hard for some people. However, it was a nice walk and the surroundings with lemon trees and figs were very relaxing. We would definitely recommend this villa to other travellers interested in a relaxed vacation on the Algarve coast.

We had a wonderful week in this spacious villa! A family of 8 adults and 6 children spent the days playing in the pool and on the tennis court. The house fulfilled all our expectations, and the owners gave us excelent service! It is absolutely a place we would like to return to, and a place we are happy to recomend to others.

We are just back from this villa and it was so perfect. We were having a big family get together, 5 adults and 8 kids and wanted somewhere that we didn't have to leave that much. Everything about it was great, the pool, the tennis court, the villa itself. It had everything we needed, every bedroom had its own bathroom and the villa was so big we never felt on top of each other. Carvoeira is a lovely village but we didn't leave the villa that much. There are lots of lovely beaches close by and the local Waterpark is brilliant. I would recommend this villa to anyone and will definitely be going back.
