Other things to note
With an award winning beach on your doorstep (voted Best European Beach) this cliffside apartment, which has been photographed and shown in many magazines and newspapers and even on TV programmes, offers uninterrupted views across the Atlantic Ocean and coastline of Portugal.
Carvoeiro is a pretty fishing village, steeped in history and set into the hillside overlooking its very own beach. The village is not over-developed and still retains much of its character, happily boasting examples of the older quaint colourful fishermans’ houses which are tucked neatly away in between the most recent ones.
There are no high rise apartments in the village, which has been quoted to be one of the prettiest villages in the Algarve with picturesque bays, dramatic cliffs to stroll along and a multitude of tucked away beaches, caves and grottos to explore. A place where you are really guaranteed to get a taste of Portugal and the Algarve. There are three main streets, each lined with coffee shops/bars, smart restaurants, bread and pastry café’s and tourist shops. Fresh fish and locally grown fruit and vegetables can be purchased from the daily market in town. Alternatively, you have a small grocery store nearby or larger supermarkets within easy reach by car.
For the discerning golfer and tennis lover, close by are the three well-known golf courses of Pinta, Gramacho and Vale do Milho, as well as the well known “Carvoeiro Tennis Club” which welcomes holiday makers to join club sessions.
With good shopping facilities and an exceptional variety of restaurants catering for all tastes the area provides visitors with the perfect holiday destination.
From the apartment, the beach is a two minute stroll down the hill, or down the steps just across from the apartment, as are all the amenities you need to make your holiday as stress free and transport free as possible.
Everything you require is a stroll away or you can hire electric bicycles or ride the tourist train to give you a further outside view of the area. If wishing to venture further afield to other towns, taxis are available within a few minutes stroll and there are two hire car companies in town. If wishing to take a walk, there are cliff walks with boardwalks to assist in making the journey easily accessible for all ages and abilities.
The Algarve is blessed with over 3000 hours of unbroken sunshine each year and high temperatures in the summer which are cooled by the breeze directly from the Atlantic, making them all the more comfortable.
The province is located in the far south of Portugal and bordered by the Atlantic ocean on two sides and by mountains to the East. It stretches from the Spanish border westwards to the most southerly point of Europe at Cape St. Vincent. One hundred and fifty miles of Portugals’ coast is formed by cliffs overlooking numerous sandy beaches. Places to visit that are not too far from Carvoeiro include the Mountains of Monchique with its rustic restaurants and quaint towns, the historic town of Silves with its Castle, Portimao with its Marina and shopping and, for those who wish to travel further afield, Lisbon with its historic buildings is easily accessed by car, train or bus.

By X-BC_Politician Mission, Canada on 03-Oct-2022It's hard to come up with superlatives that haven't already been used to describe Casa Brigitte!! My wife and I booked 4 nights there while on a month long journey through Portugal and Spain. It's the kind of place where you wish you had known how awesome it was really going to be because you would have booked a WAY longer stay! As other reviewers have alluded to already, one of the most enjoyable and memorable things about Casa Brigitte is the looks you get from other vacationers walking by on the sidewalk below and looking up at you on the balcony with "Wow... how come we didn't book that place!!" looks on their faces! My wife and I have been blessed to travel to a lot of wonderful places in the world and have stayed at more accomodations than we can count but we sad to leave and are already planning to return to Casa Brigitte at some point in the future. Thank you so much Philippa for your communication and kindness and for sharing your little slice of paradise with us!! (mike and deb in canada)
Incroyable
By A Holiday Lettings verified reviewer on 01-Nov-2022J'ai passé une semaine merveilleuse dans cette appartement. Une vue incroyable sur l'océan avec le bruit des vagues et des mouettes pour m'endormir... On se sent chez soi avec une décoration intérieur fait avec beaucoup de gout. On se sent chez soi. L'appartement est équipé de tout ce que l'on a besoin. Le village est à 50m avec toutes les commodités nécessaires. C'est un endroit merveilleux à mon gout. Des possibilités de randonnées à flanc de falaise des que l'on sort de l'appartement. Je n'ai pas eu besoin de prendre la voiture. Une semaine que je n'oublierai pas. Merci au propriétaire de prendre soins de ses hôtes. J'y retournerai c'est sûr.
Keep coming back for the view!
By 365phillipd on 12-Mar-2023This was the 4th time we have stayed at Casa Brigitte and had another fabulous holiday. The view from the apartment is stunning and something we never get bored of! The apartment is spacious being on 2 levels, always well maintained and fully equipped with everything we needed. The recent wifi upgrade and air con was a bonus. The location is great being in central Carvoeiro and there are walks and beaches nearby to explore. Plenty of good restaurants in Carvoeiro but eating on the balcony gives you the best view in town! We usually hire a car but it’s certainly not a necessity - parking has always been fine and there are loads of great beaches in the Algarve to visit. Philippa is a super host, quick to respond and has always catered for any needs we have.

The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, was clean and the kitchen was perfectly equipped, allowing us to cook in when we wanted to. Not to mention the stunning views from the balcony!
SPECIAL
By 5times05 Liverpool, United Kingdom on 08-Sep-2023We have just returned from a wonderful 8 nights at this property, Casa Brigitte. Our first time there. I’ve booked through holiday lettiings many times over the years and have always had a great experience. This place is particularly special. It surely is the best located apartment in Carvoeiro with a breathtaking view and huge balcony . The apartment has absolutely everything you need. Very clean and extremely well cared for. Trying to find a fault with it has proven near impossible really. The large double bed is soft compared to ours at home, but that’s a personal preference. That’s about it! The owner of the property, Philippa was a dream to deal with. So helpful and informative. She helped to organise the transfer from Faro which was perfect and great value , as was the property . Would we book again? 100%
