This was our first VRBO rental and also our first month long holiday. The location is excellent, an easy walk into town and a good workout on the way back. Easy access to hikes, golf and supermarkets. We heated the pool and although the air was cool we used It almost everyday. Kate was so attentive to any questions we had. Unfortunately the Covid-19 pandemic brought our time to a screeching halt but we look forward to returning again next year.

The villa was well equipped with plenty of cutlery/crockery, good quality towels. Good sized rooms, and plenty of space to relax inside and outside of the villa. The pool was a good size, very well kept as was the garden. Location was fantastic, 15 mins walk to two beaches (Paraiso is quiet if you catch the tide times right) and the town, which is great for restaurants (recommend Sansibar, Mar y’Fora, Chef’s Kitchen, Decadence, L’Orange) and shopping. You can also pick up supplies within a 5 mins walk, lovely for fresh bread/croissants for breakfast. Villa was spotless and the cleaner showed up 3 times to offer service. All in all would recommend the villa for quality, location and good communication with agent.

Our small family - 2 adults and 9 year old son were blown over by the garden, pool and outdoor space, cleanliness and comfortability of this property. The bedrooms and ensuites were clean, modern and comfortable. The living area was perfect - great wifi and satellite tv, open plan to a well equipped kitchen, straight out to shaded dining area into the fantastic private garden with great swimming pool - all to ourselves. The maid service was great, the lady was just lovely and very helpful. The team at Elite are very accommodating, efficient and friendly. When we had any type of enquiry re how to use the house alarm and safe or swimming pool heating issue; questions were answered straight away. This property and surrounding area made our holiday just what we wished for. Quiet and residential which provided us with plenty of relaxation and lazy days by the pool. We loved the pool and the weather was spot on for us - hot and sunny! The small town Carvoeiro is lovely, friendly and easily walked to within 10-15mins. There are plenty of great restaurants nearby in town and at the end of the road we highly recommend La Orange. We had a short 10-15min drive to the big Supermarket, which was good value and has everything you need for a great self catering holiday, including all you need for the bbq. We had a few days out visiting the Caves by boat and surrounding coastlines - fabulous beaches, We also went to Slide and Splash - busy but fun! Overall the holiday experience at Casa Ana and Carvoeiro was fantastic. Definite recommendation for a small family who wish to rest, relax and have fun in the privacy of your own villa. Car is not necessary at all as Uber/taxi service is efficient and reasonable. We will be hiring a car for next year though to do a bit more exploring of surrounding beach areas!

This villa is just as it is pictured, we had a very relaxing week here. It is in a quiet neighbourhood. The pool is excellent, we were there in April and paid extra to have the pool heated which was a great decision as we used it a lot even on rainy days (we only had one). The villa has electric shutters which not only make it secure but also nice and dark at night. The beds are very comfy. There are lots of beautiful beaches within easy driving distance. We hired surf boards/body boards at Gale beach - there is a small hut in the car park hiring equipment out. We also had an afternoon in the old town of Faro which was a very pleasant way to while away some time before the flight. We would also recommend Iguana Cafe at Albufiera - good food on a terrace with great view. We discovered the recycling half way through the stay - if you walk round the corner to where you take your bins there are recycling bins there also for all sorts of items.
