Excellent property with lots of space and decorated to a high standard.
The whole holiday was fantastic from arriving at the villa, and the pleasant surprise that the villa actually looks better in real life than in pictures... to the days of fun spent eating, drinking, swimming and playing around the villa.
Beaches are within walking distance and shops restaurants and supermarkets are a very short drive.
This is the perfect villa for a family break.
I would definitely stop here again.
We had an amazing 9 day stay at Casa Rowan. Beautiful Villa in fantastic condition, plenty of entertainment and fun for all. We were 6 adults and two littlies and were all housed in comfort and style. Thank you Margaret! Brad and Milly (Australia)
Wat hebben wij genoten in Casa Rowan. Vanaf de reservering tot het vertrek konden we vertrouwen op de altijd bereikbare, snel reagerende eigenaresse Margaret en op de medewerkers van het bureau in Carvoeiro.
Dit maakte dat we direct vakantie hadden toen we aankwamen op het treinstation van Lagos en werden opgehaald door de taxichauffeur.
We waren met 4 volwassenen en 4 teenagers (14-18). Het huis biedt alle ruimte om gezellig met elkaar te zijn. Bijvoorbeeld op het terras rond de grote tafel voor een spelletje of een goeie BBQ. En ook alle ruimte om je even terug te trekken. Onder een boom, op 1 van de fijne poolbedden met een boek, op 1 van de balkon's, of op de relaxe bank op de veranda voor de huiskamer.
Elk van de 4 kamers heeft zijn eigen ruime badkamer, 2 volwaardige bedden voor grote Hollandse mensen. Met daarbij de schoonmaakservice maakte dat wij met twee families volop konden genieten.
En als het zitten de jeugd te lang duurde, volop zwemmen. Maar bovenal wedstrijden op de padel baan of toernooitjes PingPongen.
We hadden twee fietsen en een scooter gehuurd. De jongens gingen op de fiets naar Lagos voor de sportschool. Wij op de fiets naar 't strand of 1 van de Seven Valley Walk punten.
Naast een kop koffie halen in een van de dorpen deden we ook met de scooter deden de dagelijkse boodschappen, wanneer meer nodig was pakten we de Uber!
Kort gezegd, Casa Rowan, een voortreffelijke plek, dank je wel, Margaret, we hebben ons thuis gevoeld!
What can we say, the villa was as good as advertised, it was stunning, we felt very lucky to be spending two weeks in such a beautiful home. We were a group of 8: 4 adults and 4 kids, and the villa accommodated us perfectly. The kids loved the pool, the tennis court, the golf and the table tennis. The villa had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.
The villa is in an ideal location, close to Rocha Brava, so there are some good restaurants and a cafe in walking distance, plus a supermarket that has most things. It is also a reasonable walk into Carvoeiro, we walked in a lot, with only one proper uphill bit. We got a taxi back each time. There are a couple of good beaches in walking distance.
Thanks Margaret for letting us stay in your lovely villa, we would definitely go back.
We've just had a week in Margaret's villa. From check in to checkout it was faultless.
The villa was so spacious and clean. Big fridge in the utility room which is perfect for keeping drinks in without filling the kitchen fridge. Each bedroom had a large en-suite all with great showers.
The outside area was full of entertainment, the pool, table tennis, paddle tennis, putting green etc. Minutes drive from the centre of carvoeiro and minutes from all the super markets. We shall defiantly be returning and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a luxurious stay.

Such a well equipped and maintained luxurious villa - clearly someone's second home, not just a property that is solely for holiday rentals. We had two babies in our party, and were pleasantly surprised that the noise didn't travel within the villa in spite of marble flooring. Very spacious, secure private grounds that were are very well cared for. Certainly the nicest villa we have stayed in, absolutely nothing shabby or in need of replacement, and spotlessly clean.
There is a small well stocked supermarket (fresh bread and warm croissants in the morning), a handful of bars and restaurants, and a lovely beach within walking distance....slightly hilly but quite manageable with prams/buggies.

Luxury Villa and excellent service all round
We had an amazing holiday at Casa Rowan. We had high expectations of the Villa from the photos and reviews but it still did not stop us from getting the WOW factor as we first entered the Villa. Everything is done to the highest standard. It was so nice and relaxing around the pool area with the comfiest sun beds, we decided not to venture out to beaches etc but just chill and enjoy valuable time with our family around the pool. We headed into Carveiro for a few nights via taxi and Elle and Ella restaurant was superb and reasonably priced. All round perfect holiday with Margaret being so helpful with tips and responding promptly to any questions that we had. We done our first shop at Intermarche which was a lot cheaper than local shop. Large BBQ used for breakfast and evenings when we decided to stay in to eat. Perfect holiday!

Wonderful week in Casa Rowan
We (2 parents and 3 children, 4,7 and 9 years old) were lucky to spend a week this spring in Casa Rowan. This is a fabulous villa in Carvoeiro, which used to be a small fisherman's town. Nearby are some beautiful beaches. In particular we would recommend the beach in the center and Carvalho beach, which is hidden between the rocks. But you don't have to leave the villa. It is clean and spacious, and everything is there, including ping pong, a putting green, tennis and a great pool to play in or to swim lanes. The poolheater worked well. The water is salted which is not annoying at all. I prefer this to chlorine. We brought some games but preferred the English games which were around. The kitchen is fine and the beds, as opposed to so many places we stayed at, were long enough and firm enough. We went to restaurant Onze in Carvoeiro twice, as we liked the sunset at the terrace and the food is good. Thank you Margaret for the opportunity to stay in this beautiful property. We would love to return next year!

Top mit Schönheitsfehlern
Das haus ist super aufgeteilt hat generell große Schlafzimmer mit eigenen Bädern und super Betten. die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet es ist alles vorhanden was man zum guten Kochen benötigt. Der Pool ist groß und sogar zum Schwimmen geeignet.
Als wir ankamen war es noch recht kühl so dass wir die Heizung anstellen wollten, was leider auch nach zweimaligem Besuch von der lokalen Betreuung nicht funktionierte so dass das Haus leider kühl blieb. Außerdem war es ärgerlich, das die Poolliegen sehr verschlissen und die Auflagen auch schon sehr beansprucht waren. Der defekte Sonnenschirm wurde zwar umgehend abgeholt zu Reparatur tauchte aber während des gesamten Urlaubs nicht wieder auf. Auch die Stühle des Außenessplatzes haben über die Zeit gelitten. Der Grill war in einem erbärmlichen Zustand innen total verrostet. Andere Dinge die zu Beginn nicht funktionierten wurden aber auch umgehend repariert. Alles in allem ein schönes Haus mit "room for improvement".

Beautiful villa in a peaceful location
My family and I found Casa Rowan absolutely beautiful - modern, spacious and well furnished. The pool and garden area were lovely - spotless and well maintained. My two young boys particularly enjoyed the swimming pool (which we chose to have heated) and the tennis court.
Taxis to and from the town centre were extremely reasonable and always to hand.
A fabulous holiday was had and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much.

Beautiful Villa Holiday
Our expectations were high and we were not disappointed, this really is a luxurious villa equipped and furnished to a high standard. Bedrooms are spacious and very comfortable and all have spacious en suite bathrooms. A short drive or taxi ride from the centre of Carvoeiro but within walking distance of a number of restaurants and bars, our favourite restaurant of those we tried was Mar d' Fora which has lovely ocean views and amazing food, but the choice is endless. Would definitely recommend Casa Rowan and hope to come back soon.

Best holiday ever!!
Fabulous villa to stay in with our family in a lovely quiet location but still close to the main village. The villa was absolutely stunning with beautiful views, immaculate inside and the gardens and pool were lovely and well maintained. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to visit Portugal! A trip to Zoomarine is a must if you have children. Would also recommend Ele and Ela for dinner. Thank you for an amazing holiday.

Amazing
I visited this luxury villa and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone! The villa is luxurious and decorated to very high standards.
The facilities in the villa are excellent - it was like home from home (I just wish my home was so luxurious!) and absolutely spotlessly clean which is high up in my list of expectations.
Fantastic pool and surrounding area overlooked by the sun terrace – I didn’t want to leave the villa!
Every morning to get up and look out to such beautiful sea views was just a breath of fresh air – they even provided sunshine!
Owners guidance was excellent, directions to the villa, recommendations to many fantastic restaurants. I will definitely be back!

PEACEFUL:RELAXING
When the gates opened to reveal the villa the first impression was WOW and that impression continued as we stepped inside to view rooms etc
A quiet location with places to eat only 5 mins walk from villa - if you ever wish to leave the poolside
Everything has been thought of for a fantastic holiday
Extra fridge provided was a great idea for the drinks
Carvoeiro itself is a 30 min walk where there are lovely restaurants our fav being Ele Ela
Loved the villa/ location so much we are booked to return next year

AMAZING
What can I say about our recent holiday to Carvoeiro and our stay at this Villa. AMAZING. The villa is stunning. The decor and fittings are of the highest standard making our stay very special indeed and it's exceptionally maintained. The grounds are great also with lots of little "nooks" for you to chill. There are also lots of extras including a great media system, kid’s games, books, table tennis and gym equipment (If you feel the need). The location is perfect with a short walk into town but there are also some restaurants very close to the villa. All in all I think this is an ideal location and a beautiful villa, stunning and I can't wait to go back.
