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.

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.

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.

Super apartment & as great as our 2019 visit

We enjoyed another 10 days staying in this lovely apartment. Top attraction for us is the private roof top terrace where we spend most of the day with a drink in one hand and a kindle in the other. Everything is very clean & comfortable. The walk back up the hill from the town in the evening became a bit of a stumbling block for me this time (ankle osteoarthritis) so we just called Ubers & went to some lovely restaurants further out. Will definitely go back. Thanks Sarah
