Perfect Portuguese palace
My first time in Portugal and what a place. A cracking home with all the facilities we needed, not least the stunning pool with views to match. Barbecues in the evening, breakfasts by the pool. Short drive to the town or a very manageable walk to local shops and beach. Places was immaculately maintained, locals were very friendly. We had a group aged from 2 to 78 and we all had a great time. Great holiday and can't recommend this villa enough.

Perfect accommodation
The property was perfect for our group! The fence off pool was excellent with our young grandchildren and the host heated it for us to a perfect temperature. The home is located in a quiet area away from downtown Carvoeiro, which is what we were looking for. The home was kept clean with regular cleaning days. We had a wonderful two weeks here!

First trip to Portugal
Our stay was fabulous! We loved everything about our visit. Exploring the area and tours we took were very enjoyable. The people of Portugal are so friendly and warm. We will definitely be returning to Portugal! Our only complaint was the internet service which was unreliable.

7 days of bliss
Overall we had an excellent stay. We did have a problem with the keys. The door looks automatically from inside. We only had one key and found ourselves looked out one night. We did have a quick response from the management company. They suggested having another in the lockbox outside. They did put one in the following day. Unfortunately we were charged a fee for their service.

Lovely house, nice area, close to good restaurants
The house is spacious and well laid out. Very nice patio and sitting area outside, kitchen was well equipped, beds were very comfortable, lots of good restaurants in Carvoeiro about 1km away plus a great Indian restaurant, Pashmina, around the corner. Pool looked great but it was rainy when we were there and we didnt use it.

Great property in quiet location
This was our 3rd villa holiday and definitely the best accomodation we have experienced it had a well equipped kitchen and cleaning twice a week was an unexpected treat. We heated the pool which on occasion was a bit too warm not sure if it could be adjusted a bit down. I liked it though!!

Great place to be
We very much liked the Villa and it’s surrounding. Lot’s of space to enjoy. The house and pool was very nice. The view from the terrace is excellent. The services (cleaning and pool) in and around the house are good. Very nice people to have around. Minor issues were directly solved. Contact with the owner was excellent and helpful. We did a walk to the coastline. Magnificent views, very short by.

The property was everything we hoped it would be, and more. Communication was excellent from the beginning. Property is located in a lovely, quiet area and only a short drive from many bars and restaurants. Very family-friendly place. It was extremely clean and well-maintained. Glad we had a hire car. Would stay again.

This house was one of the best house we have ever rentes on Vrbo. Big, clean, nice pool and outdoor areas and very well equipped. The hostess was so helpfull and welcomming and the maid so sweet.

Lovely villa
Just back from our stay at this villa. Communication pre-holiday was excellent; villa was just as listed, very spacious, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Opted to pay for pool heating and glad we did as meant kids could play in it for ages without getting chilly. Local beaches were lovely and we managed without a hire car; got an Uber when needed which was really easy and not too pricey either. Ate out a bit and cooked the rest of the time; kitchen was well equipped to do so. Didn’t have any issues at all; area was very peaceful and we had the chilled relaxing holiday that we needed. Would definitely recommend this villa and would happily go back ourselves.

Absolutely fantastic!
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.

Winter break
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.

Christmas in Algarve
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.

October 2023
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.

Wonderful Villa with amazing host but…
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.

About the host

Hosted by Clare Puri

Host profile image
We are a couple from Surrey and first came to Carvoeiro and stayed at this villa in 1993 with our two young children. Since then we have holidayed in many villas in Europe and often been disappointed with low levels of service. So when we eventually bought this villa in 2002 after much pestering from the children, we were determined to provide the best in terms of comfort and cleanliness for our guests. No more lumpy mattresses and dusty sofas and temperamental grimy showers! Over the years we have made a number of improvements, including replacing the sofas, curtains, décor, upgrading all the beds with the best mattresses we could find, a new kitchen and two brand new luxury bathrooms (and lots of other things such as drains and pumps which are not visible). It is a true home from home for us, and our favourite place to relax together or with friends no matter what time of year. We have done our best to make this a great place to stay and it really thrills us when we learn that our guests have really enjoyed it, just as we do, year after year. We hope you will enjoy your stay at Vivenda Centeanes and make it a regular place to visit.
