Very nice and big house in a quiet area (at least in winter😊), perfect equipped, with a green garden (especially good for the dog), regularly cleaned up by a very nice maid Alice, also towels and bed linens were often changed. Especially kitchen was perfectly equipped! Perfect communication with the owners.
One minute behind the house starts the boardwalk, an amazing walk along the sea coast with incredible views. You need only good shoes and your dog has to be lined (the cliffs are too steep and there walk also other dogs). Otherwise close to the house you can find also a nice green area which is very good for walking the dogs before you start the board walk😊. This Portuguese “sterile” area calls for beaing very proper and tidy and to keep your dog lined is nearly a matter of course in Algarve.
Most beaches in this residence area are available by car but one very nice is avaliable about 5-10 minutes on foot. There are many beautiful beaches, very natural, and on some of them are small restaurants, without to disturb the natural character of the area. To lie with a glass of good wine or Prosecco on the sandy beach in the winter months is nearly a dream😁
In front of the house is probably the best restaurant in Carvoeiro, we tried once and could not resist any more...! It is not as expensive as it could seem, the seafood and fish are the same price also in other “so called” cheaper restaurants, but lower quality. In Algarve you can eat very well and also too much😁! And of course the Portuguese wine is really delicious, whether it is red or white wine, cheap or expensive one...
Carvoeiro is a small but nice place for walking and visiting some bars or restaurants and shops...
Not far away is it to Albufeira or to the South-West point Cabo de Sao Vicente, with beautiful beaches, what is matter of course in Algarve. Only a pity that the inland in Algarve does not offer too much...
