Nestled on the quiet outskirts of a former fishing village, Villa Carvoeiro offers Portuguese elegance and tranquillity in the sun. This spacious traditional villa mixes Portuguese architecture with all the modern conveniences you need to enjoy a well-earned break with your family and friends.
Arriving at Villa Carvoeiro, you’ll immediately notice the spacious plot, which is completely surrounded by walls, fences and plantlife, providing you with the utmost privacy during your stay. The villa is situated on a quiet street in a residential neighbourhood, making it the perfect home away from home.
Upon entry, cosy traditional decor helps you to feel at home with cool tiled floors and clean white-washed walls.
Your main living area is spacious and well-presented, comprised of a combination living room and diner. A large L-shaped sofa offers plenty of seating with a TV for your viewing. Your kitchen comes fully equipped with everything you need to make delicious home-cooked meals during your stay, with the nearest supermarket less than a five-minute drive away.
Villa Carvoeiro can comfortably accommodate up to six guests spread across three comfortable bedrooms. Each bedroom features a double bed with its own private en-suite bathroom, two of which feature showers and ground-level terraces. The master bedroom is located on the upper level and has a balcony with spectacular sea views and a private bathroom with a luxurious jacuzzi bath.
Outside, you have a spacious garden and patio area all to yourselves, complete with a barbecue which is yours to use whenever you like. A second dining space is also available on the outdoor terrace, making it perfect for light lunches and casual evening meals. Just steps away from the villa is a large private swimming pool complete with sunloungers.
Outside you’ll also find that Villa Carvoeiro has a private driveway with space for two small cars, which is accessible via a lockable gate. There’s also a garage should you require additional parking space.

One of the best things about Villa Carvoeiro is easily its location. The villa itself is located on a quiet street in a residential neighbourhood with lots of privacy, making it the perfect place for those wanting to rest and relax on their holiday.
To get to Villa Carvoeiro, you'll arrive at Faro Airport, where Villa Carvoeiro is just a 45-minute drive westward. While you can get a taxi from the airport, we recommend renting a car. As the area surrounding Villa Carvoeiro is relatively hilly and set away from most activities and places of interest, having access to your own vehicle will make getting out and about easy, especially if you're travelling with young children or people with limited mobility.
Your nearest beaches are the quiet Praia do Vale de Lapa and Praia da Cama da Vaca; however, both of these beaches are only accessible by foot and are located downhill from the villa and may not be suitable for everybody. The most popular and most easily accessible beach in your area will be Praia de Carvoeiro which is less than a ten-minute drive away from Villa Carvoeiro.
While visiting Praia de Carvoeiro, you can also visit the surrounding town, which has several shops, bars and restaurants you can try.
For culture, the historic town of Lagos is just a 30-minute drive away from your villa. Here, you can visit some of the Algarve's most popular eateries and visit popular sites like the Igreja de Santo António, an 18th-century church, and the iconic Castelo dos Governadores.
Please be aware that the location tab shown on the website is not based on the property's exact location; therefore, all location amenities are an approx of facilities, restaurants, and villages/towns you might find around the property. The property's exact location will be provided to you before arrival and might come along with some recommendations about the area and what to visit.
The Region
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.
ABOUT THE ALGARVE
Though most people tend to see the Algarve as all about the beaches and a holiday on the Med, there’s far much more to it than that.
But while you’re enjoying one of our fantastic villas in Algarve, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we’ve put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!
