We had a great 10 days in this comfortable and well-equipped little house in the heart of old Alvor. The beds are very comfortable and the house has everything you’d need for a holiday. The house is literally a couple of minutes’ walk from Alvor’s best restaurants and 15 minutes walk from the beautiful beach. Lorna, the local representative couldn’t have been more helpful- and the same was true of the owners. We definitely plan to return one day.

Alvor is quite central for exploring the Algarve, while being quiet and laidback. The property is as described. It's even more central in Alvor than we initially realized - many, many restaurants, cafes, shops, and bars are within a block or two. The house is comfortable. We appreciated use of the washer & dryer. Communication with the owners was clear and prompt. Would recommend for a group of 2-4.

My husband and I stayed for a month at Casa Clare. Can’t say enough about the location being perfect. Loved being on a little street where the neighbors hang out the window to see what’s going on or sometimes to hang their laundry. Roslyn down the street a bit always had a bom dia and a smile for us and Maria across the way always said hi! Yet 2 mins walk and you are at the marina or a plethora of restaurants As for the house many days spent on the rooftop terrace with some wine, bread, butter and olives and enjoying the view. Just amazing! Inside fully equipped kitchen could want for nothing more Washer and dryer included and also a clothesline outside. If you want to experience Portugal in style this is the place to stay in the Algarve

We first stayed at Casa Clare four years ago and left a glowing review. Nothing has changed and having read the comments of other guests, which are universally complimentary, it is hard to find something original to add! We have stayed in many rental properties and this is right up there as one of the very best in every single department. The owners are extremely pleasant and communicate most professionally and promptly. The check in process was friendly and very welcoming accompanied by a generous 'welcome pack' of essentials plus wine! To be honest, we have never stayed in a holiday rental that is so comprehensively equipped with absolutely anything and everything you could possibly need - and that includes our own! It is a real home from home. It is situated in the heart of the charming fishing village of Alvor which has an abundance of restaurants to suit all tastes, a delightful coastal boardwalk and is a most peaceful and charming haven. We would like to thank Zoe and Gervase, the owners, for providing such a perfect holiday property and we shall most certainly return.

My partner and I loved Casa Clare. There’s a cute outdoor area with sunshine and a beautiful bougainvillea, and also a place to sit on the roof terrace which looks out over the bay and where you can watch the sunset. The house is nice too though we didn’t spend a lot of time inside. The Main Street with shops and restaurants is one street over so it’s very easy to head out into town. Lovely house. Hope we cam go back at some stage.

What a good week we had in Casa Clare! Everything, from the comfort of the beds, the well stocked kitchen, the gift of the glorious Port, the bottle of wine, the perfect outside area, and a clothes washer! all was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting our neighbour Rosa, loved exploring the little winding cobblestone streets, walking the boardwalk, and trying different restaurants. Thank you to our “greeters” and to Zoe and Gervase (sp.). We would love to return one day.

We had a great time staying here with our young family. The location was perfect for going to the beach, a stroll along the board walks or popping into town to the local play area. The property was very well equipped with everything we could need. Check process was simple. Overall a great week in the February sunshine.

A great and very well appointed property in a quiet location, but in the heart of one of the most characterful locations in the Algarve. Super selection of fish restaurants. We walked every day, and found this a very central location for both coastal paths and the mountains around Monchique (We did 75 miles and 9,000' climb in the week). The bird and wild plant life was exceptional. Brian and Moira Biggs

Casa Clare is absolutely perfect for a relaxing break. It is very much a home from home with every detail thought of. Whether sitting out on the patio or relaxing on the roof terrace, the only sounds you hear are the birds and the town clock chiming-very, very relaxing. The view from the terrace is magnificent and, sitting there with a drink watching the sun go down is the perfect end to a day. The location is fantastic with excellent restaurants very close by but the icing on the cake was to have The Green Door Restaurant, literally 3 doors up the street- we visited this 4 times!! My wife and I considered this a perfect holiday and we would love to come back one day. Colin Goldsmith

Compleatly loved our stay! We had everything we needed and more, the Port we chose to crack open on arrival was pure luxury and a lovely touch! We used the sun terrace everyday it gets the sun all day long and has a wonderfull view! Being in the center of town made our stay all the more fun but u can hardly notice late night noise so thumbs up from me! All in all the perfect base for our holidays and we would love to think we will return in the future. Thanks to our lovely hosts for all the local info xx

Casa Clare is the best stocked Airbnb we have ever been in. I almost felt like cooking just to use the spices and such in the kitchen cupboard. Packing a picnic was a breeze thanks to plastic containers, an insulated backpack, plastic wrap, and freezer packs. Location also can’t be beat — quiet but close to everything. We loved the town of Alvor too— not too small or too big. Only negative is that the main room could use better lighting and the matresses in the large bedroom are a little soft. But the back patio and rooftop terrace alone more than make up for these minor dings. Host also very responsive. Highly recommend.

The property was very well equipped and as we were in the second month of a winter break the washing machine was well used! The earl part of our month was especially sunny and the roof terrace gave an opportunity for afternoon sunbathing out of any wind. Having the restaurants so close meant very little use made of the excellent kitchen facilities apart from breakfasts. Congratulations to the owners for every help given by way of information and advice - we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you Ejner Knudsen

The property is located in the village of Alvor on a quiet road off the main street of the town.Its location is perfect and quiet.On arrival we were met by hosts Neil and Helen who showed us around the property again. The welcome pack of water,wine,port and milk meant that no immediate shopping was required.The property is very well equipped, the best we have stayed .The outside space is private and the views over the estuary are stunning.If you are not familiar with Alvor and the Algarve, the owners have put together a fantastic welcome pack which is full of useful information. In addition the owners emailed us to recommend some alternative restaurants,which we appreciated and used!Our security deposit was back in our account without delay the following day after we had left the cottage. Highly recommended and hope to return for a third time in the future. Thank you Gervase and Zoe.

We stayed at Casa Clare with our kids for 10 days! we had an absolutely great time. The house is in the most perfect location. It is right beside the shops, restaurants , Marina etc, Although so close to the hustle and bustle the house manages to be so quiet and peaceful. The house itself caters for your every need. Whether you want to cook on the Barbeque outside or use the modern kitchen, it's all there. The owners have some lovely touches, there is a great selection of books to read, board games to play. There is a great size TV with all the channels when you need a break from the sun, and most importantly for the teenagers they have Wifi. We would highly recommend Casa Clare, and hope to return again in the near future,.Zoe and Gervase were so helpful and easy to deal with and came with great recommendations for restaurants or activities for the kids! We really enjoyed our time there!

Casa Clare is perfect. It is located in the best spot in Alvor, being on a pedestrianised street one road away from the Estuary and just back from the main road which has restaurants and bars to suit all tastes. The property is extremely comfortable and exceptionally well equipped. We wanted for nothing. The beds were supremely comfy and we slept very well. The air con is efficient and kept us lovely and cool. The gardens were delightful and the views from the terrace stunning! There was nothing at all to fault. I would not hesitate to return and most highly recommend. I should add that the property represents excellent value for money and the owners were a delight to work with.

Great location- half a mile to beach, 100 metres to restaurants,supermarket, daily fruit and fish market. House fully equipped with television, 2 good shower rooms, excellent kitchen with oven, hob and fridge freezer. Kitchen well stocked with pots, pans and utensils. And cupboards had stock of salt pepper, herbs and spices which all helped in cooking on the outside BBQ. Good outside space to eat or lie or sit in the sun. No car necessary as everything you need is at hand. Despite its proximity to the restaurants it was still peaceful at night even when the restaurants were busy. Air conditioning as well though house was cool enough without it.

This is our second year returning this property however this year was a little different as we had an 8 month old baby with us. The property was absolutely perfect and catered for every need even for our baby. They had a travel cot and mattress , bed sheets , fresh towels and upon arriving fresh milk , water and. Bottle of wine in the fridge. It’s so close to the Harbour , restaurants and shops which made everything extremely easy with the baby . I couldn’t recommend this property more and I will definetly be returning again .

Not too far away from our home base, this new find proved to be most rewarding. This converted cottage reminded us of the Home of the Year competition with the wow factor, especially after the initial entrance leads one out to a very private and open outdoor area. This combines with all the modern conveniences, equipment and spatial surroundings. The owners provide comprehensive guidance on the surrounding area, activities and restaurants etc. Together with the central location, a very warm and hospitable local community with many amenities, this made for a memorable holiday and hopefully we will renew our new found relationship on a regular basis.

This was our third stay here and as usual we loved it. The cottage has everything you could need and is close to the main restaurants, boat trips, harbour and boardwalk. Can’t wait to go back !!

Property was excellent - comfortable and well equipped and well positioned for restaurants etc which were just one street back. Alvor itself it a pretty resort with marina, sandy beaches and a boardwalk going in various directions close to the beach which is excellent for walkers. Alvor is in striking distance of lots of interesting places to visit. Would recommend for a super holiday.

Very clean, great location.

We had a fantastic stay in Casa Clare. If you interested in staying in Alvor the location is impossible to beat. The property is steps away from the main street with a variety of bars and restaurants. There is nearby free on street parking too, if you have rented a car like we did. We used the patio area for breakfast each morning and the sun deck is wonderful for either soaking up the sun in the afternoon or having a relaxing drink and watching the sunset in the evening. The entertainment setup was great when we wanted a break from the sun, with a large smart TV, and fast WiFi connection throughout the house. We also would have been lost without the parasols and other beach equipment the owners have provided for guest use. We would normally stay in hotels on our holidays and were slightly apprehensive about booking our accommodation through sites like homeaway, but we needn't have worried. Communication with Zoe before we made the trip was first class and the experience when arriving and departing couldn't have been easier. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with our booking decision and we will definitely be back!

Charm, convenience and comfort! Loved this house - our second time to come back and once again didn’t disappoint. The owners clearly care about their guests as the attention to detail is second to none . Great not to have to hire a car as everything is within walking distance - restaurants and bars and the beautiful beach. Will definitely come back to Casa Clare! Thanks again!

A nice little cottage with most things you could need. Lovely view from the upper terrace and peaceful in the garden. The bathrooms could do with a little tlc and the beds could be better. Enjoyed having UK TV and Everything Is on the doorstep so that was wonderful. Great restaurants and superb views over the little harbour. A beautiful village, well worth a visit.

Casa Clare is exactly as described.It is in the centre but being one street back from the main street it is not affected by noise from the many bars and restaurants. Yes there is some noise from the chickens and roosters from the neighbours but this didn't affect our enjoyment.The house was clean and very comfortable.As a couple we only used the main bedroom which is at the back of the house. There was always plenty of hot water. There was everything provided that you need for a very enjoyable holiday plus many additional items such as shampoo and shower gels. A welcome pack of water, milk , tea, wine etc was provided. The WIFI was great and the smart TV worked well.. We would definitely stay again.
