You can't find better accommodations than this lovely villa! It is beautiful and has an incredible view of the ocean. Because it isn't right in town, it is very peaceful and serene. All the spaces, inside and out, are well appointed and comfortable. Even though we chose not to heat the pool, it was very warm due to the solar cover they use. We loved walking into town for both hiking and meals. We will definitely be back and wouldn't think of staying anywhere else.

Great villa, great location, great pool and a great host.

We stayed for a week while golfing in the area. Villa was excellent and exceeded expectations. The kitchen is well equipped and large lounge/dining area was very comfortable. Bedrooms are a very good size with plenty storage space. The outside seating areas and rooftop terrace would be fantastic spaces in the warm weather. The pool is fantastic. Very happy to recommend and hopefully will be back.

We had a lovely stay at Clare’s home. Situated in a beautiful part of the Algarve near the sweet town of Carvoeiro, the house has lovely views and is spacious and comfortable. Even though we were staying during the winter, the ocean was still warm enough to swim in and the patio of the house retained enough heat to enjoy being outside most days. AC wall heaters and the fireplace keep the house warm once the sun goes down. It’s easy to buy firewood on the main road to Carvoeiro. Apolonia is a great super market close by that has organic produce and very good fish and meat counters. The pool was very clean but it wasn’t warm enough to swim in for the first 6 days. After that it was lovely to swim in. We had challenges with appliances and/or heaters tripping the electrical switch regularly. Clare, Michelle and Elia, were all great at communicating and attending to anything that came up. As it was the holidays (Christmas/New Year) the electrical issue couldn’t be resolved fully but the management company is attending to this in the coming days. A lovely woman came to clean the house several times a week, keeping it spotless. We would definitely recommend this property.

Villa was huge and comfortable, communication was excellent and pool was lovely and warm with the heating. Kids spent most of the week happily swimming and splashing and enjoying food at Jota Lita in Carvoeiro. Many thanks for a fab holiday.

Within 10 minutes of arriving we were in the heated swimming pool !! Clare made the process so easy from providing clear directions to the villa to the very straight forward check in. The villa was exceptionally clean on our arrival with a thoughtful welcome package. The villa was a great size with plenty of room for the 3 adults and 2 under 8 year old children in our party. The villa is set in a quiet residential area within walking distance to the nearest beach (10 minutes even with children). The main centre was further but could still be reached in about 25 minutes with possibly a taxi back. We all loved the pool and although we visited in October with the weather a little changeable we were in the pool everyday. We love Portugal and have stayed in Carvoeiro many times but this villa is by far our favourite and already looking to book a return. 5 star accommodation and hosts.

The villa is very homely with plenty of home comforts. We arrived very early in the morning and checkin was easy and Clare has left some groceries / water for us to get our stay started. The communication with Clare was always excellent. The But is given because we arrived to a dirty pool with green algae around the sides and bottom and it wasn’t cleaned until the day after. Even when it was cleaned it could have been better. Also we were not given the opportunity to change our pool towels. The weather was very windy at times and I had to spend considerable time and effort cleaning the pool cover before taking it off and sweeping the pool areas and netting the pool itself before we could use it. Some garden maintenance may have helped with this. All in all a lovely stay and thank you Clare for letting us stay in a lovely villa and in a great location.

Really enjoyed staying at the property, beautifully furnished and communication was excellent throughout. Close to a number of lovely beaches including one that was just a short walk away. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a special place to stay in the Algarve.
