Carvoeiro - House

This superbly appointed and furnished bungalow offers two air-conditioned bedrooms, one with a king-size double bed and one with twin beds, which share the use of a bathroom with a shower over bath. There is a fully fitted and equipped kitchen (with oven/hob, microwave, washing machine, and dishwasher). The lounge/dining area has patio doors to a private south-facing terrace with table and chairs - a great place for dining al fresco - and also plenty of space for relaxing. The property itself is double glazed throughout, and there is a log burner in the lounge for those cooler winter months. Parking is widely available at various locations close by. The bungalow is conveniently situated close to all the main amenities at Quinta do Paraiso, being just a short stroll from the centre of the complex. Here you will find an excellent Italian restaurant, poolside bar, mini-market, three large communal swimming pools, children’s pool, kids club, and a dive school. There is also a children's playground, tennis courts, and mini golf to enjoy, and other activities and entertainments are provided daily by the resort during the summer months. The walk into Carvoeiro provides stunning sea views, and you’ll pass by the beautiful Paraiso beach (a hidden gem down a flight of steps cut into the cliff face, but well worth the effort once you’ve made it down) before walking into the village itself. Here you’ll be able to wander onto the main beach, passing nearby cafes and restaurants, from where you can get boat trips to explore the glorious coastline with its renowned caves and grottoes. If walking is more your thing, then pass through the village and up to the church, where you’ll find a scenic boardwalk along the cliff tops that will take you along to Algar Seco, where a drink to take in the views at the Boneca bar is a must. Carvoeiro itself was originally a fishing village and still retains that small-scale charm. There are many restaurants here to choose from, with all tastes seemingly catered for. There are also many cafes and bars where you can sit and watch the world go by, either down by the beach or in the village itself. Often during the summer months, you’ll find live music or other entertainments being provided in the square by the beach. If you don’t then want to do the return walk to Quinta do Paraiso, there are always plenty of taxis readily available to give you a lift back.
