Perfect accommodation and location for our early summer break

The accommodation was clean and spacious and had all the equipment you’d need. Lovely patio and garden area. Quiet and private. 20 minute walk to the coast through open land where there are beautiful cliff top walks and found a lovely secluded beach. Pascal was very helpful and thoughtful (as we arrived during a national power outage.) He also gave us lots of advice on places to visit locally. Overall very enjoyable place to explore the Algarve from.

Perfect spot to stay in Algarve.

Carvoeiro is almost in the middle of Algarve, so it's one the best spots to stay in Algarve if you plan on exploring all of Algarve. If you are looking for a quiet area to stay in Algarve you can't beat Carvoeiro/Lagoa area. This home is in a quiet street that leads to a beautiful beach, and it is perfect in mornings to enjoy the sunrise while having your coffee. Pascal (the owner of the home we stayed at) was very helpful. He took the time to explain to us some of the nicest places to see/visit in Algarve, and was always there everytime we needed help. Thank you Pascal 👍

Great place to stay in Algarve

We really enjoyed our stay at Pascal’s house. The place was clean, comfortable, quiet, in a great location not far from beautiful beaches and from the Algarve’ s interior. It also had a very nice garden. Pascal was a very helpful host. We recommend it highly.

Lovely little getaway

Excellent location, walking distance to popular beaches and a couple of really nice restaurants, short taxi to carveriro, within easy reach of sagres, tavira and monchique by car. Pascal was lovely, met on arrival and gave information on the local area. The place had all amenities that you would require and was nice, clean and tidy. Place was nice and cool inside.

Algarves ultimate at Caramujeira

We had a wonderful stay at Pascals villa from Feb 14 to April 11, 2022. The location is set in a beautiful combination of private homes on large acreages and walking distance to the beach and cliffs. The property is very spacious with an enclosed garden giving complete privacy. Pascal was an awesome host and we will be back.

Nice house with much privacy, quiet and centrally located for exploring the Algarve

I loved my stay at this house near to the beach. Pascal is a very enthusiastic and hospitable host who lives in the other part of the house. This was very convenient when needing him and it made me feel "safe" as I travelled alone. The house has a separate gate, which can be locked. Location is very quiet and central to explore the Algarve. It has everything you need, including a large private garden, which offers you much privacy. Next time I will visit the Algarve, I will definitely stay here again. Thanks a lot Pascal!

zwei schöne Wochen an der Algarve

Die Wohnung ist sehr einfach, hat aber alles was man für den Urlaub braucht (allerdings keine Klimaanlage). Der Garten ist nicht einsehbar, bietet daher volle Privatsphäre. Es gibt aber viel Verkehr an der Straße. Pascal ist ein sehr netter Vermieter und gibt viele Tipps für die Erkundung der Region. Insgesamt ein schöner Urlaub.
