Outside
The pool terrace, which is not overlooked by the neighbours, includes all that is required for outdoor living, patio furniture, sun loungers, BBQ area, electric blind, sun brollies, separate shower area & toilet. The private pool aprox 30ft x 15ft can be heated by arrangement. The gardens contain mature shrubs and trees, including a lemon tree ideal for the G&T drinkers who like to watch the sunset from the roof terrace. The villa also has an inner courtyard with a separate BBQ and seating area.
Coast/Beach
The area has beaches to suit all tastes, Carvoeiro beach is a good sandy beach set in a small bay, Algar Seco, & Citianes are small cove beaches in reasonable walking distance, aprox 15 min. However 15 min by car will include the miles of beaches of Benagil & Amacao de Pera.
Golf
Two excellent golf courses Gramacho and Vale de Pinta are only 15 min away. Sharpen your short game on the Dave Thomas designed par three Vale de Mihlo only 3 min away. Penina, Palmares, Vilamoura and the best course in Europe, San Lorenzo are all within easy reach.
Travel
Carvoeiro is about 40 min from Faro airport.
Car hire, although not essential if you just want to relax by the pool and walk into town, is recommended to take full advantage of all that the area has to offer.
Drive into Spain in two hours on the new motorway or Lisbon in two and a half hours.
Distances
Carvoeiro is 5 min from Lagoa, 15 min from Portimao. Approx 20 min to the west is the medieval town of Lagos, good for shopping, restaurants and the vast Mia Praia beach. Albufeira with its vibrant night life is approx 20 mins to the east. Retail therapy can be found at the Guia retail park and the newly opened Portimao centre, one toward Lagos and the other toward Albufeira on the N125.
Further details
There are several mini markets in Carvoeiro, very convenient for those who don't want to hire a car, you can walk into town and get a taxi back for just a couple of Euros. If the kids (or the adults) want to be energetic there are two water parks and the zoomarine park in close proximity. It is a great coastal walking area with spectacular cliff formations. Carvoeiro is noted for its restaurants, there are at least 30 of them covering all tastes, great sea food of course, Chinese, Indian and Italian if you must, but most are Portuguese owned serving good quality local produce and excellent (cheap) wines. There are some good sports bars showing all the important games but don't expect good service when the Portugal national team are playing. Portimao is big and busy, but do go to Alvor just the other side of Portimao for a seafood lunch, great atmosphere overlooking the sea. The tap water is OK but tastes a bit strange so we always recommend bottled water for drinking. There is a Barclays bank in both Carvoeiro and Alvor as well as several Portuguese banks. Tennis courts in town. 10 pin bowling and cinemas at the Guia shopping centre.

Guest comments
John,
Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed staying at your villa last week. We wished we had booked for 2 weeks as we enjoyed the area so much and hadn 't realised there was so much to see and do. (We have both been
there before many years ago). The villa is beautiful and we enjoyed the pool to such an extent that I am measuring up our garden for one especially if we continue to have such good summers!
Regards Ann.
Your Villa is very nice, no problems getting the Sat TV to work thanks to your instructions, I presume you won't mind if we recommend your villa to our friends
Thanks and Best Regards, Andy
The pool was great,but the weather was unusually hot in the Algarve this year over 32 deg, we turned off the pool heating after a couple of days, it was as hot as a bath which would have been great in the cooler months,
Overall you have a lovely villa and we would recommend it to friends. Best Regards, Pat & David
