Paradise in the Algarve hills
Just spent an incredible two weeks at Casa Carvalhos. Everything about the villa is exceptional. The villa itself has very comfortable beds, a very well equipped kitchen with all the utensils and equipment you need, including nice touches like a juicer and blender. The living space is lovely with a real fire and loads of games for the evenings. The outside areas - pool, BBQ area and gardens are what really make this place special. The views are fantastic, especially sunsets, the pool is clean and a good size and the plants and flowers around the garden make it feel like paradise. There is a steep drive to get up but even with a small rental car this was no problem. There is a restaurant just about within walking distance, Beira Serra which was great for dinner - monkfish stew was exceptional. Beaches are about 20 mins drive, Fuseta beach is particularly nice All in all this is exactly what you want from a villa in the hills

Lovely Stay
We had a lovely week at Casa Carvalho, lovely pool, and Casa has everything you need for a home away from home, the directions are good but be careful if using what 3 words, they do take you right there but from the wrong direction and difficult to manouvre car round and get the speed up to get up the drive, we only did that twice and then sussed there was a better way. Great touch of a welcome pack, the lovely cold Vino Branco went down a treat, will def be back

Property and location were excellent, very clean and well maintained.
Very much enjoyed our family holiday, facilities were well considered, including dishwasher and washing machine, freezer boxes and beach towels! Hillside location beautiful with seaside towns in easy reach. Recommendations provided by host for restaurants was useful, although we should have reserved ahead for some as busy!! Would recommend and return!!

Wonderful restful location
We had a wonderful week at Casa Carvalhos in August. The location is wonderfully away from it all, but close enough to pop into town for shopping and restaurants to not be a hassle. The villa is fantastic: lots of space, excellent wifi(teens involved), gorgeous pool and gardens and everything we could have wished for. We spent the week dreaming about actually living there. The only thing I would mention is that there are steep steps up to the villa and some steps down to Casa Bolota, they weren't a problem, but if we'd had anyone with mobility issues, you'd need to be prepared. Thanks for a fabulous holiday!

The great lockdown escape
My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Casa Carvalhos at the end of May. With the travel situation less than certain in the UK, communication with Sarah was excellent from the moment we booked which really did relieve a lot of stress. We are regular visitors to the Algarve and would say the location is excellent - a five minute drive in to town for supermarkets, restaurants etc and also only a short distance to the beach. The villa itself is great and given the other places we have stayed nearby, we think very good value for money. The pictures do not do the view justice and we spent several lovely evenings enjoying drinks as the sun went down looking across the valley. WiFi was also great throughout the trip (tested by watching Netflix over a few evenings) and the kitchen is very well stocked with all the equipment you could need. The wine and fresh bread on arrival was also a lovely touch and the tips on where to eat and what to do are extensive. All in all, we will be looking to go back! One point to note - Sarah provides helpful instructions on how to get to the villa which should be used over Satnav (if you are a die hard SatNav fan, you can ‘drop a pin’ at the top of the dirt track in your chosen maps app once you have found your way there the first time). Thanks again for having us!

A great property in a lovely location.
A lovely secluded villa in the hills close to the town. Tavira, Olhao, Faro, Loule and beaches are all easily accessible by car. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Wonderful Villa, gorgeous view and lovely people
We absolutely loved every minute of our stay. From start to finish Sarah’s communication was great and nothing was too much trouble. The Villa was clean and incredibly well equipped, in fact I would say it is better equipped than my own kitchen. The pool was great, lovely temperature and very clean. The gardener came a few times to tend the many plants and flowers and the pool was cleaned and topped up. By far the most amazing thing about this Villa is it’s tranquility and view! The view is absolutely dreamy and we never tired of opening our bedroom doors in the morning to that breath taking sight. It is obvious that the Villa and it’s grounds are well loved and cared for. Thank you so much for letting us share a little piece of your heaven! I’m only sorry that we left and sadly forgot to write in the visitors book, perhaps you could add my comments when you get chance. Thanks again Kerry & family x
