About this property

Luxury apartment with fab. sea views & exclusive, private roof terrace with BBQ.



THE PROPERTY
This is a luxurious, quiet, airy and spacious first floor apartment, which is part of the popular Monte Dourado resort in central Carvoeiro, literally a couple of minutes walk from the iconic beach, fabulous restaurants and shops. Occupying one of the best positions at the top of the hill, the lounge, master bedroom, terrace and fabulous, furnished private roof terrace (60 metres square) all have wonderful sea views. To give an idea how close we are you can hear the waves crashing on the shore and see the beach from the terrace.

Having undergone a total refurbishment, the flat benefits from modern bathrooms with electric heated towel rails, a new kitchen, air conditioning /heating/ solar water heating, new tiling throughout and all new furnishings.

We have also installed our own wifi system (not shared with other Monte Dourado apartments), to ensure fast, broadband speeds for our guests.

The apartment comfortably sleeps 4 adults, but, for an additional child there is a fold up bed. A cot and high chair can be hired from Monte Dourado reception, for an additional daily charge.

The accommodation includes:
2 double bedrooms. The master bedroom has a large super king sized bed (170cms) and the second bedroom has the flexibility of being arranged as either two singles or one king sized bed.

There is a safe in the main bedroom (key available from Reception.)

2 bathrooms. Both have showers, are heated for winter guests, and there is also a bath in the main family bathroom. Hair dryers are provided in both bathrooms. NB Turn on the switch for the mirror light to activate the electric socket.

Lounge / dining room - contains two double sofas, flat screen smart tv, with a range of European / UK channels, including Sky Sports and BT sports, BBC, ITV channels and Netflix. There is a wireless sound bar to stream your own personal music.

The dining area has a dining table and four chairs, sideboard and console. For the cooler winter evenings, there is a wood burning stove and logs /kindling are available to purchase, for delivery, from Reception.

The kitchen is well equipped, with all white goods, including an electric cooker and induction hob, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, coffee machine and large fridge, plus 3 drawer freezer.

The outside verandah has a table and four chairs, plus two comfortable rattan chairs and a coffee table.

The roof terrace offers spectacular, panoramic views and sunsets; overlooking the sea and the bay. It is furnished with five rattan sun loungers and side tables, a large, rectangular dining table with six chairs , two umbrellas and a charcoal BBQ. There is electricity on the roof, with lighting and solar lighting for guests wanting to enjoy the fabulous sunsets and the stars!

Air conditioning /air-sourced heating units in both bedrooms, the lounge area and heaters / towel rails in both bathrooms.

The flat is also ideally positioned, being directly to the right of the main adult and child pool area, the main pool being heated in the winter months. Parking is also available directly outside the flat and there is the advantage of a dedicated Reception area, to ensure we meet all your holiday requirements, including the collection/deposit of the key. There are also two tennis courts on the site, which can be booked via reception.

Maid service is provided twice weekly, with a weekly change of towels and bed linen. Should guests want additional cleaning, this can be arranged through Reception, for an hourly charge.


WINTER BOOKINGS - November - March (longer lets)
Electricity is charged on top of winter bookings, although we do have solar heated hot water, which reduces our heating costs significantly.

Absolutely wonderful!
We had a fantastic stay in Monte Dourado - the apartment was just brilliant, in a wonderful complex in Carvoeiro. The apartment is so well situated, with fantastic views down towards Praia de Carvoeiro. Everything you could need is in the beautifully decorated apartment. The private roof terrace is excellent with large table and comfy chairs, brolly, bbq, and comfy sunbeds, commanding glorious panoramic views of the town. The kitchen is very well stocked with washing machine, dishwasher, cooking utensils etc. The apartment is very comfortable, and the balcony is large with plenty of space for eating out and relaxing whilst overlooking the sea! The town can be accessed via the road entrance or via stairs down to Restaurant Hill, and you can literally be in the main areas of Carvoeiro within minutes. The town is buzzing with great restaurants and bars, offering a brilliant choice. We had two great meals in the beautiful Villa Medici and visited the new Sky Bar that overlooks the square. There is a huge choice of restaurants, offering everything from high-end fine dining through to takeaway and snacks, so you’ll always be able to find somewhere you like. Just a word of warning - check your bill before paying as we had a few experiences of being overcharged - not at Villa Medici, but at a couple of other venues in town. This can happen anytime, anywhere., so is good practice. There are loads of things to do in the area - plenty of pretty towns to visit within a short drive, such as Lagos, Alvor, Ferragudo, and loads of beaches nearby, many activities, water parks, shopping. You’ll not be bored!!! Monte Dourado is a fantastic complex, which is beautifully kept, with multiple swimming pools with loads of sunbeds, tennis courts, lovely gardens and a helpful reception. The gardens and pools are very well maintained. There is no bar or entertainment onsite, which is a huge positive as it keeps the complex quiet and is great for families and couples. Thank you for letting us use your apartment - we loved it.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah and Laurence Reilly

Host profile image
Sarah and Laurence Reilly
We live in Lincolnshire in the UK. Laurence is a headteacher and I have recently taken early retirement from teaching, in order to pursue my love of drawing and painting. The picturesque, Algarvian landscape is providing me with lots of material!
We started visiting Carvoeiro, as a family in 1996, when my parents first moved out here. Over the years we have had numerous family holidays and built many happy memories, as our children have grown up. As young adults, they are still following on this tradition, coming out with their friends, their partners and more recently, our two grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

The reason we bought the property on Monte Dourado is because it is so well placed, being within walking distance of the town centre and the beach. The condominium itself is well managed and maintained and the reception staff are always on hand to help guests. They also speak a number of languages, which is great for guests.
The apartment is spacious and well built and we felt that, following an extensive refurbishment, it provides a perfect base for a fantastic holiday experience for both our family and also our guests.

What makes this property unique

The sea view really makes this flat special. Monte Dorado is also highly rated on customer websites, such as Trip Adviser. As our guest you have the added advantage and reassurance that you have a reception area on hand, in case you need anything, unlike other private bookings.

Although it is so close to all the amenities, the flat is still very quiet and peaceful at night. This flat also benefits from a large, private roof terrace. We do not advise that young children be allowed to use this space however, due to its high location on the second floor.

There is nothing better than strolling across to the pool for a quick dip before breakfast and you don't need to bag a sun-bed for the day, as there are plenty of beds and umbrellas for everyone.

We also love the fact that both the beach and the bars and restaurants are all within walking distance and there is so much choice available.
