Stunning villa and pool
This villa ticks all the boxes,it is so spacious. The pool is just lovely and we definitely made the most of it. The bathrooms are lovely and modern and the kitchen is well equipped. The villa is in a really quiet area,it was so peaceful. There is a shop around the corner and a lovely Italian restaurant. We hired a car and visited a few local beaches. There is also an Aldi 5mins away. I would definitely recommend this villa to others. We did have a couple of water outages during our stay which was an inconvenience but the management company were really helpful.

Really good villa and holiday experience
We stayed for a week in August as a family of four. The villa was excellent and the whole experience, from booking to having our week away was 5 star. It's a really good family villa with a great pool area. There are also good restaurants within walking distance if you don't want to drive or taxi.

Fantastic property
Party of six, 4 adults and 2 children - Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at casa santalena. Amazing villa with good sized pool in a quiet area, totally met all our needs. Small supermarket conveniently located round corner from villa. Would have been nice if Carvoeiro town had been within closer proximity to walk but was a good 30 mins, too long for children in heat. Overall we had excellent time and villa really impressed us.

Excellent!!
Absolutely wonderful Villa everything you could wish for. Even had british TV for when the kids went to bed ha ha. Just one or two little niggles however, there were no Dinner plates for meal just small plates which I would describe as "Tea Plates". Also there are no shaver sockes in the bathrooms but other than that it was fantastic. You do need a car though if you want to visit anywhere. Local buses were good. There were seven of us including three young children so frequent trips to the Supermarket were in order but would definitely stay again. Thanks Marina and Phillip you were first class.

Acogedora - Tranquila - Bien Ubicada
Todo se correspondía al anuncio. Casa acogedora, zona muy tranquila, parecía que no había nadie en la zona, pero muy buena ubicación. Cerca de muchas playas (la mejor la que estaba más cerca, Praia Dos Carneiros, a 4 Km) y supermercados. Había un pequeño supermercado a 1min andando.....recomendable 100%.
Si le tuviese que poner una pega, sería la falta de césped, aún así lo dicho anteriormente lo compensa, repetiremos seguro.
