A luxury ground floor apartment superbly located on the Monte Dourado resort which is right in the centre of Carvoeiro, and a very short walk from the beach and town centre (500 metres). The apartment is like new and has been updated to a very high standard and includes air conditioning in the living room and both bedrooms. There are two spacious bedrooms, the master bedroom with en-suite and second bedroom (a camp bed can be provided at a cost of £10 per night for fifth person but not being an adult) with a shower room. The kitchen is modern and fully equipped with dishwasher, microwave, washing machine and large fridge freezer. The lounge has comfortable seating with a 40" flat screen TV, and includes cable TV providing English TV channels in HD (BBC1 & 2, ITV, CBBC, Sky News and Sky Sports and many more) plus many other language channels, a DVD player (there are a large collection of DVD's, books and games for all the family to enjoy) and also includes a log burning fire for those cooler evenings. The lounge leads out onto to a lovely sunny terrace with quality table & chairs, and lovely views over one of the five swimming pools (includes children's pool) within the resort (which are available to all guests) and a small garden. The apartment also includes free WiFi and a digital laptop safe (clients must ensure they have their own insurance to cover contents held).

The apartment lies in a nice secluded spot which is quiet & peaceful and has well maintained gardens with tennis courts 100 metres away.

A car is not necessary but there is plenty of on-street parking close to the apartment all year round.

The apartment is managed locally by Monte Dourado and the reception is only 100 metres away (there is a phone connection in the apartment, so you can be assured that staff will be on hand to ensure that you have a nice relaxing holiday, whether to book a car, trip or arrange a taxi). The staff are very helpful and are available seven days a week and will assist you with booking trips, golf, airport transfers, car hire or any other information you may need. There are also baby cots, high chairs and folding beds available upon request for hire.

The main pool is heated from 1 October through to 30 April.

Large beach mats are available for all guests to use.

All bookings from 1st November to 31 March will have to pay for any electricity used. Prices are based on 2 persons, any additional guest will be charged extra.
A information document will be provided on receipt of the final payment.
Cleaning and linen services are included in the price, together with free use of a laptop safe (own insurance recommended) and WiFi.
For those essential provisions there is a mini-market less than a 5 minute walk away, and also the local municipal market where you can get fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and meat daily (except Sunday).

10 days in Carvoeiro
Fantastic to be back in Carvoeiro (and back at Michelle's property in Monte Dourado) - visit number 3 to the town and second to this property. Just as we remembered - everything we could wish for in a holiday property with easy access to the pool (which kept both our boys happy)! Thank-you Michelle for being such a great communicative and helpful host. We hope to stay again in Carvoeiro.

What a fabulous apartment! Clean and tidy. Had all of the amenities you needed. The location was within a 5 min walk to downtown Carvoeiro where you can find many restaurants and shops. The owner responded in a timely fashion to any questions we had. She was excellent to deal with. Highly recommend this apartment. Great stay! Coming back for sure.

Highly recommended
Beautiful apartment, kitchen better than I have at home, pool & sunbed's right outside the front door, easy check in. Very close to the beach & restaurants, but far enough away to be very peaceful, Michelle was very helpful with recommending car hire & any other questions we had, would recommend to anyone, only thing to note is that in April the temperature drops from 20 during the day to 14 at night so take warm clothing, all positive & hopefully will be back soon.

Simply the best!!
We all agreed that the property was one of the best we've ever been to, and we have been self catering together for many years. The maid service was a great bonus and the fact that the towels and sheets were changed during our stay added to our feeling of we'll being. There was a problem with the shower when we first got there, which was dealt with immediately and was fine after the repair. We were able to walk to many bars and restaurants and to the beach. The pool was just next to the patio area which was brilliant. Altogether, a great holiday, thank you.

A real gem of a place!
Absolutely loved this stunning apartment! It had everything you need and was decorated in a modern fashion with comfortable furniture. The lovely terrace overlooking the pool is a bonus! Rooms are large and with 2 bathrooms, made life easy! Set in a well kept gardened area and just a 5’ walk into the village, which has everything you need. The pool is not heated so takes a bit of getting used to! All in a peaceful setting. What’s not to like?

Home from home
Absolutely loved the apartment, the photos do not do it justice. All we could wish for and more. Very spacious, even got sky sports channel on the tv. Brilliant location, 5 minutes to shops, restaurants/bars and beach. Lovely pool which was quiet most of the time. Carvoeiro has many restaurants and bars to suit all tastes and budgets. The only reason for giving 4 instead of 5 stars for cleanliness is because none of the corners had been cleaned for a while. Also we didn't get our bedding changed during our stay even though we stayed for 8 nights. Easy communication with owner. We would definitely use the apartment again on our next trip to Carvoeiro. We highly recommend.

Fantastically well maintained apartment in great location
We went for a short winter break to Carvoeiro and had a fantastic 6 days. The weather was great and so was the apartment. Decorated and set up to a high standard. We have stayed in many apartments over the years in different places and this was up with the best. As well as the décor being high quality the kitchen was fully equipped and no running out of plates or glasses. Sitting outside the apartment is pleasant with a nice little garden to overlook. There are comfortable chairs to sit on and read your book and also a table to enjoy breakfast and lunch at. The pool is very close to hand. It was great to lie by on well maintain sunbeds. Less than a five minute walk and in the evening you are in the centre of town, with a great range of bars and restaurant. Even out of season there is plenty of choice. I will be returning.

Great, relaxing stay
So glad I chose this location. It isn’t as crowded as other areas in low season. The beach is sufficient, if you have time to drive you can access a huge beach with softer sand by Sagres and visit the fortress. A nice board walk up the hill is lit at night in Carvoeiro , so you can walk off the late night dinner. We make breakfast in the well equipped kitchen to save time, but there’s breakfast options in town. There’s some great Indian and Nepalese restaurants which have excellent food and service is most courteous. The condo is spacious and the pool is not heated, but refreshing. There’s plenty of food stores down the road toward Lagoa to buy groceries of more variety. Consider taking the 7 Hanging Valleys Trail (Praia da Marina) instead of the Benagil Caves boat tours, unless you like being packed on a boat like sardines, breathing boat engine exhaust, and you’ll save time, frustration, and money - also you might not see the cave with the hole in the top because it’s tide dependent, and you need overhead sun for pictures. You will see plenty of caves and arches from the trail.

Great Location in Carvoeiro
This property had the perfect location and amenities for enjoying the Algarve. It was an easy walk down to the beach (slightly more challenging back uphill :) Easy to drive to and good parking right in front of the unit. Choice of several grocery stores within a ten-minute drive. So much to do in the area. A little market a two-minute walk away, and great bakeries and restaurants in town nearby. We had warm weather for mid-April and enjoyed the unheated pool just outside the unit (not too cold for Canadians). There was also a heated pool a few units away. The condo was spacious and very comfortable. Be aware that the kitchen, while well-equipped with dishes, pots, utensils etc, did not have any salt, pepper, spices, cooking oils etc. Also, plan to bring shampoo, dishwasher and laundry detergent (or you can purchase tabs at the reception for 0.50 euros.) The host emailed us well in advance with the check-in instructions and information on the resort and area, which was really appreciated! Wish we had stayed longer!
