Notes on accommodation
The villa is light and spacious, benefiting from wonderful views from all windows. Has the feel of a family home rather than a rented property. The villa is ideal for families as it is very safe for children. The pool terrace is divided from the upper terrace by a secure, gated fence. There is a log burning fire and radiators for the winter and electric fans for the summer months. No pets please.
Outside
The villa is surrounded by a pretty garden of borders and flowering trees. Bourgenvillia creeps over walls and terraces. The views from the terrace are stunning and the villa is not overlooked by any other villas. The pool measures 10 x 5m and can be heated on request. There are 6 sunloungers and mattresses, umbrellas and a large table and 6 chairs. There are 2 BBQ areas with seating.

Guest comments
"We have stayed in many Villas in Carvoeiro, but this is definitely the best. We have already booked again for next year. It is so peaceful here and we love just sitting and looking at the wonderful views."
"You see those "wow" moments on TV when someone walks into a property. Well all six in our group walked into Casa Cristina and together said "WOW"!"
"This is our sixth time at Casa Cristina. We love it so much. It is a luxury villa, not just a holiday home."
Owner profile
About the owner
Alex and I spend the winters at Casa Cristina and the summers in Oxfordshire. We love sitting on the terrace overlooking the pool and the fantastic views of the sea.
We have renovated all the rooms in the villa during the last three years. Alex swims every day in the sea, and I play tennis at the local club,or golf on the 9 hole course which lies behind. There are lovely walks over the cliffs and beautiful beaches to explore. We love going to the west coast where the scenery is so dramatic and up to the mountains at Monchique. We entertain all our friends on the large terrace where there is a barbecue and a pretty shaded bower.
Year purchased: 2000
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We bought this property because of its quiet location and its beautiful views. We liked it because it isn't overlooked and is very private. You can walk to the beach or to local restaurants, or go into Carvoeiro in the evenings for a huge choice of restaurants and bars.
