We love this apartment. It's roomy and fully equipped, with a lovely balcony and a great view in a great location. The view from the roof terrace is extra special.Best of all, we can just live in it. The beds are very comfortable, as are the settees and the outdoor seating.Also, the kitchen is fully equipped and easy to work in, meaning that it's possible to cook a meal and have a change from eating out.Cleanliness is also excellent, and stepping into the apartment after a long journey is just liking arriving at home, but with a better view.Also, the owners are very friendly, very responsive and very helpful, which is the icing on the cake.Oh, and having the best pool in Monte Dourado just across the road is very, very handy.

Very nice apartment. We enjoyed gorgeous sunsets from rooftop terrace. Short walk to town and beach. Wish we had known we needed to bring our own hand soap, dishwashing detergent, etc. We arrived late the first night and had a hard time finding those items in the local stores at first. Not a big deal but guests should be aware that the apartment is not supplied like other rental apartments or hotel rooms.

Portugal holiday
Fantastic stay. From booking to departure our host was extremely helpful and responded very quickly to all queries. cheCk in process was easy. We had an early flight but we were able to leave bags at reception. The apartment was very spacious and the outside spaces were perfect and gave beautiful views of the sea. The apartment is a perfectly located next to one of the complex pools. The complex itself was immaculate and perfect for families but did not feel crowded. Short walk into the town with plenty of restaurant choices. Looking forward to our stay next year.

Fabulous two bedroom apartment in Carvoeiro with ocean view and private top deck patio!
We had a wonderful month long stay in this fabulous two bedroom apartment. Everything was seamless from the beginning when booking the property with Sarah to checking out with the office. Sarah was extremely easy to communicate with and so helpful prior to and throughout our stay. The property was exactly as listed, very comfortable with many extras including a well stocked kitchen. The king size bed was very comfortable as well as the twin beds in the extra bedroom. The apartment was spotless clean when we arrived and we loved the bi-weekly cleaning service (full cleaning service once/week and partial cleaning mid-week). The Office staff of the complex were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We loved the ocean view and sunsets from the private top patio as well as the charcoal BBQ. Also there was always parking available - a big plus while staying in Carvoeiro.All in all a 10 out of 10! We hope to return.

A gorgeous property with views to die for
From the moment you drive into Carvoeiro you can sense you've picked the most picturesque Algarve city to stay. This property added immeasurably to our 8 wandering days. Modern kitchen was well outfitted to meet every need. Baths and beds were clean, modern and spotless. No rental "nicks and scratches" in this wonderful place. Both the balcony and the roof top deck stole the show, many hours spent whiling away gazing at the ocean or quiet village below. Easy albeit it very hilly walk to town, the apartment is within walking distance of most local restaurants (and their are some god ones.) While there was a local grocery in Carvoeiro, we found that a trip to close by Apolónia Supermercados provided the basics and luxury items. The apartment provides easy walking access to many great coastal hikes and a short drive to some of the most famous hikes in the Algarve. I can't imagine staying anywhere else for an Algarve holiday!

Our recent stay in Carvoeiro
We stayed at this lovely place for a week. The hills to get back up from the center of town are not for the faint of heart but a quick taxi ride is always available if needed. That said, the views are spectacular and worth it. The unit was clean and very comfortable and the resort staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Sensational Stay
This property is fabulous. My wife and I stayed for 6 nights at the height of the summer season. The apartment was large enough for four to six. The kitchen was well equipped, clean and well set up. The washing machine worked wonders and the porch was large enough for a drying rack to be set up with room to eat at the outside table and relax and watch the sunrise/sunset. Clothes dried really fast. The air conditioning works really well despite the elevated temperatures of late August. The check in and check out procedure were easy and the property company was able to set up outings that were enjoyable. It is only a short walk down the shops and markets in the town. One word of warning, the hill that this property tops is no joke... even the twenty somethings would take breaks while hiking back up the hill. The pools were terrrific and offered a break from the heat and were clearly loved by the kids. We loved our stay so much we are looking to become owners of an apartment in the Monte Dourado development (it's location is not nearly as nice as this one though).
