Great spot for 2 couples
The condo was walking distance to beach, town and restaurants. Parking was available onsite so it was easy to just leave the car and walk short distances. Area is a bit hilly if mobility is an issue for anyone. Very clean unit. Easy check in at condo building office. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous Stay!
Just returned from a wonderful holiday. Chris and Vanessa’s apartment was beautiful. As a family of 5 (with children of 22, 20 and 18) we had plenty of room in an airy, spotlessly clean and well equipped apartment. The beds were super comfy and the fold up bed for the 5th person was more than adequate. Chris was super helpful when we enquired about renting for 5 people and even sent me photos of one of the bedrooms set up with the fold out bed in use so I could decide whether it would be suitable for our needs. The complex itself is well maintained, super clean and a short stroll into the lovely town with plenty of really good restaurants to choose from. Small supermarkets were also within easy walking distance to pick up essentials. The apartment was set within a quiet area of the complex and we enjoyed the balcony overlooking the pool area. Nothing but positive things to say about our visit. Would definitely recommend Chris and Vanessa and their fantastic apartment and we hope to return some time in the future. Many thanks again, Sally and family.

We really enjoyed our quick stay at Christopher and Vanessa’s place in Carvoeiro. The condo was very spacious with a big terrace and greatly located. The kids had fun in the swimming pools and it’s a short walk down the street with lots of shops and restaurants. Everything was perfectly set to suits our needs in the bedrooms on our arrival.

Felt like home
We stayed here in the middle of our Portugal vacation. The apartment was a haven of comfort and gave us a chance to do laundry and really enjoy the city and beaches. The place was perfect, comfortable and spacious. We loved the smaller town and so many beaches to explore! The hosts were the most communicative and dedicated to us having an excellent experience. Check in was easy and the lobby staff were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend!

Family Holiday
We have had an incredible stay in this amazing apartment with a superb location. The communication with the owners was superb. The apartment was clean, and everything you need. We loved sitting out on the balcony during the evening. Plenty of swimming pools and we used the bigger pool. Loads of restaurants and entertainment. The beach was fantastic and clean. We went on the boat trip and a train ride around the town. An amazing ice cream shop which the kids loved. In the evening the town had loads going on and a great family buzz. A very friendly feel throughout. We will be coming again and cannot fault.

7 Days over June
My family and I stayed at this property from the 1st of June to the 8th of June. The property was exactly what we were looking for and more. It's bigger than we thought it would be, well presented and really close to everything you need. It has a great balcony that catches the sun in the afternoon and evening. It is the middle of three great swimming pools which we used a lot. Chris, the owner, was great with us and gave loads of information on what to do. The actual town is beautiful and staying in this property is a great place to visit as you as on the doorstep of everything. We had great stay and was sad to leave. Hopefully be back soon.

Un apartamento muy recomendable
El apartamento está muy bien ubicado, a 7min de la playa. Es un apartamento con dos habitaciones de muy buen tamaño y dos baños. Un salón y una terraza muy espaciosa con vistas a la piscina. El aire acondicionado con potencia, cosa que es muy importante. El apartamento estaba muy limpio y nos cambiaron las toallas varias veces por semana. Se aparca en los alrededores del apartamento, pero a pesar de ser agosto y estar bastante céntrico no hemos tenido ningún problema en aparcar. El trato con Chris y Vanessa ha sido excepcional. Contestaron nuestras dudas con rapidez e incluso en varias ocasiones nos mandaron fotos, cosa que agradecimos mucho. Un apartamento muy recomendable.
