About this property

Ground floor apartment with pool, internet and A/C in central Carvoeiro, Algarve

Fabulous ground floor apartment with 2 beds, 2 bathrooms, private terrace and two swimming pools. 'No. 5' is situated in the Monte Dourado hillside resort in central Carvoeiro, within easy reach of all the restaurants and bars that the village has to offer and European Best Beach 2018 (https://tinyurl.com/ydevaaab). The apartment is in excellent condition and has been updated to a very high spec including air conditioning in the living room and both bedrooms. The master bedroom features a super king size bed and en suite, and the second bedroom has two single beds and separate shower room.

The kitchen is fully equipped with dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, fridge freezer, coffee machine, toaster and juicer, ensuring it is perfectly set up for families and couples looking for a home from home. The large living/dining room has comfortable seating, dining table and chairs, flat screen TV (vast range of channels) and log burning stove for the cooler months. French doors lead off the living room onto a sunny terrace with table and chairs and views over the two pools (one of which is 0.9m for smaller swimmers). The pools are shared between only twelve apartments (the 'Buganvilia' block) and guests also have access to four other pools on the Monte Dourado complex, one of which is heated in Winter. Tennis courts are also found beside the apartments.

A car is not required as there are easily accessible local buses and taxi services but there is plenty of on-road parking close to the apartment all year round if preferred. Two mini-markets are less than a five minute walk away and the local market with fresh fish, meat, fruit and vegetables is open every morning except Sunday (two minutes away). There are lots of places to visit including Ferragudo, Portimao (accessible by water taxi and road), Alvor, Silves, local attractions, Slide and Splash and Zoomarine, as well as Golf courses Vale de Milho, Quinta do Gramacho and Vale de Pinta.

Since 1st May 2024, a tourist tax is now payable for all guests 13 years of age or older. It is €2 per person, per night, to a maximum of 7 nights and is payable via PayPal before your arrival. Further information is available here: https://www.cm-lagoa.pt/cmlagoaalgarve/uploads/writer_file/document/2125/nota_informativa_ingles.pdf 

High chairs, cots and folding beds are available for rental on request (folding bed required if more than four guests) . Electricity is charged for Winter bookings from November through to the end of April. Discounts up to 30% on Winter bookings of longer than one month are available.

Great apartment
We really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment itself was spacious and well equipped. Very clean and comfortable. The pool right outside was great for the kids. Parking close by and very available. Location was perfect. A short walk to everything. A bit uphill on the walk back but allowed for a bit of a workout after dinner. Would stay again and highly recommend.

Lovely apartment in great location
The apartment was really well equipped, the bed was very comfortable and both bathrooms were lovely. The location right in the centre of Carvoeiro was so convenient for all the bars and restaurants and (even with our dodgy knees), we managed the hills! The welcome pack was a lovely touch, just what we needed as we didn't arrive till 11pm! We would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone wishing to stay in Carvoeiro.

Pros and cons
Extremely nice and friendly owners and the house manager did also her best to make us feel comfortable. The apartment is spotless clean, the area is peaceful and safe and there's plenty of free parking options available. AC in three rooms and food package were also appreciated.Instead of luxurious this property should be called self-catering. Many basic/daily items were missing or in short. Felt silly to purchase things like toilet paper and matchsticks on a 6 nights stay. Also considered the electricity meter as an excellent source of stress - and not for vain. I would rather pay more for rent to get the necessities included.However, we had a succesful trip as first timers in Algarve. Thank you for accommodating us!

Local butcher market and fruit stand to homemade bread and fantastic restaurants down by the beach. Wonderful place and look forward to future stays.

Amazing
We had such an amazing stay at this property. Extremely clean, spacious & the location was fabulous!! The property manager gave us lots of information regarding the resort which was very helpful!! It is slightly hilly for older people but this wasn't an issue for us. We loved every second from the moment we arrived, there was a welcome pack which was greatly appreciated as we arrived very late in the evening & it just got better from there!! We will definitely be back as soon as we can. Thank you!!

Well appointed clean apartment in a beautiful area!
We loved our stay! The apartment is large and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay - kitchen is well appointed and bath and beach towels are provided. The hosts were most thoughtful, and left a few extras that made our late night check in, and the next morning a breeze! The property manager Emma was also very helpful. Carvoeira is the perfect area for families, great shops and restaurants and a beautiful beach. We did a boat cave tour, and drove to Marinha beach to hike the Seven Hanging Valleys and eat lunch at the O Stop at the end and took a very short Uber ride back to the beginning. Everything is within a very reasonable distance - you can walk right down to the beach from the apartment. We would book this property again without hesitation! Thank you Nick and Nikki!

About the host

Hosted by Nicholas and Nikki Cotterill

Host profile image
We enjoyed family holidays in the lovely village of Carvoeiro so much we bought an apartment!! It is such a wonderful family resort with so many lovely restaurants and bars, and super friendly people. Having traveled to many destinations this is the first holiday that our entire family wanted to bottle and repeat, again and again.

Why they chose this property

The Monte Dourado resort is well placed for easy accessibility to all that Carvoeiro and the surrounding area has to offer. While there are plenty of activities going on in Carvoeiro such as live music at the beach in the Summer and children's Santa parades in the Winter, it has the feel of a traditional Portuguese fishing village and is such a joy. The apartment itself is a perfect home from home and with the pools just outside the door it makes for such a relaxed holiday. The apartment is part of the larger Monte Dourado complex but as the 'Buganvilia' pools are shared by only twelve apartments it feels like a real oasis. The two main roads of Carvoeiro are within a few minutes walk in either direction meaning that a car is not required and everything is within less than a five minute walk.

What makes this property unique

The Monte Dourade resort is a sought after location in Carvoeiro, boasting privacy and calm within a stone's throw of the many restaurants and bars. Due to the development restrictions within the area there is not a high rise in sight and the resort has a really casual feel to it. We welcome you to our home from home and wish you a wonderful stay in the beautiful Carvoeiro.
