Casa de Carmo was perfect. We were 3 families coming together from all directions with 3 under 6 years old.The house was lovely, the gardens beautiful and the pool a wonder.Moncarapacho is a lovely village/town with everything you could need. A small supermarket a great municipal mercado which housed a greengrocer, butcher, fishmongers, cheese and wine stall and some other bits and bobs. Cafe's and restaurants were good (a special call out to Antonio's).Ideally suited for Tavira, Olhao, Faro, plus many beaches, boats and lots more restaurants.Suited our needs and wants perfectly. Highly recommended

The outdoor space was beautiful, the villa was well equipped, and it felt like a perfect countryside escape while still being close to the coast.

The house was furnished in a traditional style, but very clean.reason for overall 4 stars is just because there were some small things that could have been improved very simply.some of the kitchen utensils were old/broken.The outdoor seating area needed better lighting (strip florescent light)no light by barbecue, making evening barbecuing difficultdownstairs shower room/w/c needed some attention to drainage smell - I think because that shower room is never used as a shower, just a w/c, so probably has stagnant waterOne of the pool parasols was unusable

Fantastic stay! Incredible house, very well stocked and in a great location. Communication was excellent, very easy check in and check out. Really loved it, and can’t to be back.
