Service was excellent from the agents and the house was wonderfully equipped. Great holiday, thank you.
We had a really nice stay in Carvoeiro. The location is perfect to enjoy the city and go to the beach. Also the house is well equipped and the rooftop amazing. John has been really available during all our stay. Just hope we can come back someday.
The house is in a perfect location, with a quick walk into town, to the beach, to shops and restaurants. It is on a hill, so a bit of a climb back to it but after a few days I barely noticed it. We brought a car and found street parking easily. John, the property manager was helpful, responsive, and had a great attitude. Really, he was terrific. It was a clean, comfortable and decently equipped house. Maybe would have been nice to have a few more basic food items in the kitchen, like oil and vinegar, but that was a tiny thing. Now that I have said that, let me really tell you about our stay: We drove in from Lisbon, unloaded and my husband hit the couch with a migraine. I bounced from rooftop to courtyard to front porch yelling ‘look at this’ and ‘oh my goodness it’s gorgeous’ over and over until I finally took pity on him and ran down the hill into town and explored. Every morning I would do the walk to a bakery and pick up bread and a treat, we would read up on the terrace (other than three cold and rainy days), wander through the many trails that are close by, sit on the beach, and either cook a simple meal or enjoy a different restaurant. It was a magical place and I highly recommend it.

The Casa is well equipped and comfortable also during the winter months. With the mild Portuguese winter, we even made ample use of the rooftop terrace and enjoyed the quiet as well as the lovely views. The accommodation is spacious enough for four people. Centrally located in the village. An amazing coastal walk makes Carvoeiro an attractive holiday location also for hikers. Finding parking was no problem (December / January). Very friendly contact with the agency. They were quick to reply to any questions and proactively provide information about the Casa and the environment, which helped to make our stay even more enjoyable.
We had a wonderful stay at Casa das Conchas. The home is spacious and well equipped. We absolutely loved the outdoor terraces. The view from the top terrace was breathtaking. We could have sat there all day, everyday, soaking up the scenery. The lower terrace was lovely as well. We made a delicious fish dinner in the BBQ with fresh fish from the local market. There was also an automatic awning to provide shade when needed. John and Susan were very responsive to all of our questions. The information guide sent before check in was very helpful. The welcome package of wine, milk and water was much appreciated. The location of Casa das Conchas is great. Within a few minutes you can be at the beautiful beach, restaurants and grocery stores. We would definitely come back! While we were there our wifi connection did not have a strong signal throughout the house. We did have some difficulty with the dryer but it seemed to rectify itself. And John and Susan responded quickly to our questions about it.
