We had glorious 10 day stay in this fabulous villa. The place was kept spotless by a delightful maid. She was cheerful and friendly. Luxurious fabrics have been used in all the living areas including the bedrooms. The hall with it's chandelier and winding marble stairs puts you in mind of South Fork and Dallas. No attention to detail has been overlooked with a well stocked kitchen with all the gadgets you could need, beautiful pictures and pottery from Porches pottery about 5 miles away. We hope to return soon

Absolutely enjoyed my stay at this property. It was clean and well maintained. We will visit again.

This is a lovely villa and we would very much recommend. Owners more than helpful and respond to any query quickly. A very proficient housekeeper, Celeste, who does a wonderful job keeping everything clean and tidy every morning (she is very friendly, but discreet whilst working and doesn't interfere with your holiday). Celeste doesn't speak English so it's a giggle trying to have a conversation or ask for something sometimes. ... Google Translate came in really handy!). The villa is about a 25 minute stroll to the centre of Carvoiero, mostly downhill on the way, but a few steep hills on the way back and no pavements, but there is street lighting. This wasn't a major issue though as taxis from the centre were only €5 and always available. The garden is beautiful. We did have a bit of an issue with many gardeners arriving unannounced and using noisy machinery for hours, but I guess they have to do it sometime to keep the grounds looking so good, but it would be better to be advised when a whole afternoon's peace & relaxation would be interrupted (the owner's weren't aware of this and were annoyed on our behalf). The pool was large and a nice temperature, with roman steps for easy access. The sunbeds had nice thick mattresses so very comfy. Bedrooms are all downstairs, nicely appointed and spotless. On the first floor there's a beautiful lounge, which, being summer, we didn't utilise, but can imagine in the Winter months would be very comfy with beautiful distant sea views. The large balcony on the first floor was enjoyed a lot for breakfast and lunches and importantly there was always shade available. There is also a lovely BBQ area on the ground floor which again benefits from shade. I thought it didn't have an outside toilet or shower, it was only after a few days we realised it was on the side of the villa! Lots of books to borrow in the cupboard in the dining area. The only constructive feedback I can think of is : 1. Another couple of umbrellas around the pool with heavier bases as we had to chase them around the garden on occasions. 2. A list of dates/times when gardeners/pool cleaners would be arriving, purely so you could organise your day's activities around this necessary maintenance. We've no doubt you'll have an extremely enjoyable holiday at Casa na Colina.

My first trip to Portugal and the bar has been set high. Casa na Colina is the perfect place for peace, relaxation and proximity to the sea - and for ice-cream! The villa is of a very high standard: clean, uncluttered and lots of space so that you don't have to trip over your fellow holiday-makers. The bedrooms (four of them) all have their own en-suite and are extremely comfortable. All of this is looked after by Celeste, the housekeeper and a real treasure, who made a lazy time even lazier and kept the whole place spick and span. The all-essential and good-sized pool beckoned almost on an hourly basis (we were very lucky with the weather at this time of year) offering an interlude from reading or dozing in the sunshine. The villa is 10-15 minute walk from good restaurants and 20 minutes or so from the beach at Carvoeiro (but longer to walk home given the hill, my age and the ice-creams). Further afield there is lots to explore which is what I shall try and do more of next time. That and the other flavours of ice-cream I missed out on this trip.

Thoroughly relaxing. 2 adults and 2 teenagers. We all enjoyed our stay immensely! Very well maintained and clean. Lots of different areas inside and outside to relax in. There were also shaded areas in the large garden. Great sized pool to play in. We sat at the table on the terrace to eat most of our meals because of the fabulous sea view. We used the barbecue on several evenings. Felt thoroughly lazy because Celeste cleaned everything for us the next day. The air-conditioning was greatly appreciated because of the hot weather. Great selection of TV channels and movies available via the included TV package. We ate out at some local restaurants, which were a manageable walking distance from the villa (this does include some hills) Slide and Splash aquatic park a great day out for all ages. Only a short drive away and discounted tickets available from the Carvoeiro Clube reception. Great stay! We would love to come back again and would definitely recommend it to others.

We arrived to a very clean prepared villa. Our maid celesta came every day except Sunday and made sue everything was tip top. Even did our washing and ironing. We did do our washing up but if anything is left celesta would do it. Clean towels soap washing up liquid all supplied. Never had a dirty towel as celesta would change them. We had the pool heated which is great if you have little ones with you. We ate every night on the veranda overlooking a lovely view with the sea in the distance which was amazing. The lounge is very comfortable and light and airy. We didn't use the air con even though it was hot in the day but it's there if you need it. We did hire a car and we were pleased we did as the walk to the beach is 20 mins longer with little ones. It up and down hills so hard pushing a pram. You do need a car to go to the supermarket as we didn't find one within walking distance and when we did it was closed. We drove to Aldi about 10 mins in the car. Can't fault this villa .
