Excellent facilities in apartments- kitchen very well equipped.
A bit of a hill to climb back up, but close to all restaurants/shops
Pool could do with some repairs in longer term, but fine
Overall, would recommend
Clean and tidy. Everything you would need with plenty of cutlery, crockery and glasses. Located on the first block on Monte Dourado it is a very short walk in town with great bars, restaurant and a beautiful beach. Ideal for those who do not have or do not want to drive.
as described and seen in pictures plus very good mid stay clean and change towels and bedding. many thanks to
Mike and Emma for making us feel so welcome.
Great location for access to one of the best villages in the Algarve, Carvoeiro.
Be prepared for the more than moderate walk down into town but it is well worth it.
The property has been updated and we were very comfortable with everything we needed at our disposal.
The property is on the ground floor with a patio overlooking the pool but not much else to view.
Mini markets a very short walking distance away with a multitude of supermarket options a short drive (10 minutes at most) near Lagoa.
Would definitely recommend for a longer stay.
The apartment was perfect for our family holiday. It's in a great location, close to the town centre and all it's lovely restaurant & bars.
Loved the fact it faced on to the swimming pool, good wifi and TV channels which kept our son entertained once he'd tired himself out from being in the pool. It had all we needed to make for a great holiday.
Communication beforehand with Emma was great and it was lovely to be met by Emma & Mike on arrival - the welcome pack of groceries was a lovely touch and meant we didn't have to rush to the supermarket!
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying here and we hope to return one day. Thanks!
A great ground floor apartment, perfectly located by the pool. Sit outside having breakfast in the sun then hop onto the sun bed for nice relaxing day into the sun.
The apartment is well furnished, very neat and tidy. Perfectly equipped if you wish to cook. However with its location to town, there are many great restaurants to eat in.
Back from town and a great night out to a restful nights sleep in a very comfortable bed. Despite it being November the apartment was perfectly warm enough, though the air conditioning would provide heating if you required it.
Location tres propre, idealement située par rapport à la plage de carvoeiro. Appartement gradn, bien équipé, piscine agreable. Nous avons passé d excellentes vacances.
We really enjoyed this place. Very well equipped, good location. Could have used a towel change mid week, and the dogs at 3am in the property behind were annoying. But we would stay again.
Property is central to the beach, restaurants and shops which I wanted as I was on my first solo holiday. It’s great to walk out of the apartment and the pool is right there. A great apartment and location.
This villa is fantastic location. It’s great size and has everything you need. We realised after 9 days the cleaner had not been so reported it to the agency which is near by and away they arranged a cleaner that day. I would recommend this villa . Perfect for families.
Wir haben in der Wohnung einen traumhaften Urlaub genossen. Die Wohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht. Insbesondere die Waschmaschine ist super. Auf der Terrasse und am Pool kann man super sitzen und liegen. Es sind nur ein paar Minuten bis ins Zentrum. Emma und Mike waren super nett. Vielen Dank für den tollen Urlaub.
Perfect property for a family of 4 .. Everything you need is in this property.
With the added bonus of good WIFI and TV with English channels.
Being ground floor with direct access to the pool area is fab.
Good location, quiet and convenient.
Mike and Emma are really helpful and always around and about and contactable if needed.
The apartment is perfect for a family holiday with plenty of space for everyone. We loved that the pool was on your doorstep - great for young children. The place was fully equipped with all the amenities. Comfy beds.
The location is also good, close to several beaches, supermarkets, water sports and other towns if you want to see the other parts of the Algarve.
We had amazing weather for 7 days in August which was just what we needed! We will definitely recommend this place to friends and family. Thank you!
The apartment was a very well equipped, clean and very well presented place to stay we’ve been to Carvoeiro 4 times now and will be returning next year ! We love it !! Lovely places to eat , lovely beaches all within walking distance , overall fantastic place to stay !!

Sehr schönes Appartement...Nette Gastgeber... Perfekte Lage
Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit in Carvoeiro. Das Appartement war sehr großzügig und gut ausgestattet. Eine notwendige Reparatur wurde schnell erledigt. An einigen Sachen sind kleinere Reparaturen noch notwendig (Duschkopf...), dass konnte aber den positiven Gesamteindruck nicht mindern. Emma und Mike haben uns wie vereinbart empfangen und überraschten uns mit einem gefüllten Kühlschrank... Danke. Die Lage war super, fussläufig der Stadtstrand und leckere Restaurants erreichbar...

Excellent, well equipped apartment
This clean, spacious apartment is in an ideal, quiet location but only a 5 minute walk from the resort centre. The apartment has everything you need for your stay. The welcome pack was a pleasant surprise and very gratefully received. Lots of lovely restaurants to choose from. This is our second visit to Carvoeiro and it certainly won't be our last! Thanks again for everything.

Highly recommended
The apartment was very spacious and the best equipped place I have ever stayed. Very clean and everything worked with no problems, air conditioning and WIFI no problem. Very convenient location close to the lovely beach and town with plenty of good restaurants but if you have very young children or mobility problems there is a big hill to climb back from the town to the apartment although doesn't take long. Mike and Emma were great and made the experience personal with a welcome and visits to check all was ok. The welcome food and drink was a great bonus. Thank you.

What makes this property unique
We chose this apartment as it is so convenient for the town and local beach, we often don´t want to hire a car when we are here and this is perfect as within a 5 minute walk you have access to some amazing bars and restaurants in Carvoeiro and you can be at the beach within 10 minutes. We especially loved the ground floor apartment as you can relax on the terrace while kids play in the pool. There are only 12 apartments in our block so it´s smaller than the other blocks on Monte Dourado which means the pool area can be a little quieter. The apartment is spacious for a two bedroom property and it can easily accommodate 4 people, it is also very cosy in the winter with the wood burning stove.
