Villa Adelinda

Twenty years ago, Carvoeiro was a sleepy fishing village but had since developed into a characterful and famous tourist town. Its coastline, cliffs and coves are amongst the most beautiful in the whole of the Algarve.

Within a short walk from this property, you’ll find the shops, restaurants and bars of this much-loved resort. Most visitors give up on the idea of self-catering when they see what's on offer!

There is a beautiful municipal undercover market open every morning except Sunday, which sells the freshest fish and meat, plus a vast variety of fresh salad, fruit and vegetables.

Plus, Praia de Carvoeiro, with its beautifully sheltered sandy bay, is 1km away from the villa. The cliff tops, which protect the beach, offer plenty of scope for walking and some great views.

The most beautiful golf courses, equestrian centres, tennis facilities, water parks and a wide variety of water sports can all be found in the immediate proximity. There is also the possibility of enjoying the beautiful coastline and historic caves with boat excursions from Portimao’s harbour.

You’re 20 minutes from the Algarve’s prettiest town, Silves. Here, it’s well worth taking a leisurely walk along the river, past the orange and lemon trees. Or you can wander up the hill to the cathedral and Moorish castle. Both offer up great views of the town and surrounding countryside.

Or take a seat in the central square, with its landscaped gardens. Of course, there is no need to leave Carvoeiro at all as there is plenty to see and do right on the doorstep - it is a lovely spot and well deserves its reputation as a top Algarve holiday destination.

Carvoeiro has always been known for its beautiful coastline, adorned with cliffs, coves and incredible sandy beaches stretching all the way along to Albufeira. These days, however, there is a lot more going on in this charming town than just waves hitting the sand (although that’s certainly still a highlight).

In the past few years Carvoeiro has developed to accommodate for the growing number of tourists who are curious to see what the fuzz is all about, and the town continues to get livelier and livelier each summer. While it has kept its character and remains exquisitely peaceful, there are also plenty of modern amenities and loads of exciting activities in the area. The only thing Carvoeiro won’t provide is a good party, but there are other parts of the Algarve which are perfect for that.
