Algarve Bliss

The apartment was clean and comfortable. It has a lovely view of the town and water. The beds were very comfortable too. Our agent, Susie, was very helpful with any questions we had, before and after we arrived.

A real home from home in the perfect setting.

This was our third visit to Carveiro and our second to Colina Branca. The house has everything you need to ensure a more than comfortable stay. Great sun terrace, cool fresh bedrooms and a well equipped kitchen. My parents travelled with us this year and they loved both the house and the village. We used the market most days and on the days we chose to eat out there was so much to choose from. We also received great support and advice for things we wanted to do from Susie at Holiday Rentals. A great family holiday.....see you next year!

Alles perfekt, nur leider zu kurz

Geplant waren 2 Wochen Urlaub in diesem schönen Haus und dieser Umgebung. Unser Ziel war, Abstand von Corona zu nehmen und einfach die Zeit zu genießen. Es kam aber alles anders als erhofft. Leider mussten wir wegen Änderung der Reisewarnung durch Deutschland unseren Urlaub bereits nach 1 Woche abbrechen. Dies war für uns alle eine sehr schwere Entscheidung. Das Haus, die Umgebung und die Betreuung durch Susi war perfekt. Susi war per Email immer zu erreichen und stand immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Für den ersten Tag buchten wir auch ein Lunchpaket. Alles war super. Vielen Dank! Eine größere Kaffeemaschine wäre sehr gut. Wir haben uns fest vorgenommen unseren Urlaub nächstes oder übernächstes Jahr dort zu beenden und werden bestimmt wieder dieses Ferienhaus buchen. Vielen Dank für die tolle Betreuung. Andrea + Family

Für kühle Jahreszeit nicht geeignet

Wir kamen in ein total ausgekühltes Haus (unter 15°C). Die angekündigte Zentralheizung bestand aus 3 kleinen Elektroradiatoren, mit denen das Haus nicht beheizbar ist. Ein in die Jahre gekommenes Haus (gebrochene Fußbodenfließen, verzogene Schranktüren etc.) in guter Lage. Der Pool war nicht benutzbar, da nicht gereinigt und die Wasseraufbereitung ausgeschaltet. Entgegen dem abgeschlossenen Vertrag sollten wir auch noch zusätzlich Stromkosten bezahlen.

Great location, good value. Would stay again.

We stayed here for a week and found it to be a spacious apartment with a great location close to the town and amazing views. The pool area is also very nice with a decent sized pool, showers etc. The kitchen was well equipped too. However the bedroom furniture was a bit basic e.g. only one bedside table between both of the main rooms. There was some road noise and late night revelry from a nearby local bar but nothing major. We would have appreciated a change of bathroom towels midweek. Overall very good value for money, I would stay again.

Fantastic location, lovely home

A five minute walk into town, down a series of steps or a hill (which we had to take with 2 buggies- good exercise). House had everything we needed, very comfortable. Multiple terraces were brilliant. Very clean and well maintained thank you. Pool was brilliant and always able to get beds no matter what time of day. Again poolside well maintained and clean. We were warned the third bedroom was small and had no window for our children but it was great and stayed lovely and cool. Washing machine could perhaps do with updating in near future. A brilliant stay- thank you.

Vue magnifique - Superbes terrasses - lieu parfait - Perfect location - Amazing view

Le centre de Carvoeiro est à seulement 170 marches de la villa. Petits commerces très pratiques. Départ de la superbe randonnées des 7 vallées suspendues. La maison est confortable. Nous avons adoré ses 2 terrasses avec vue sur la mer. L'endroit est très calme. Le contact avec Suzie est très facile. Nous recommandons cette location. Only 170 steps from the town center. This house has everything for a comfy stay. We highly recommend this property. Thank you Suzie for letting us stay in your nice home in such a peaceful area.

Lovely townhouse in a beautiful seaside town

Had a lovely time at no.6 Colina Branca recently. The townhouse was spacious and very clean with everything we needed. The terraces had lovely views of the sea and the whole family enjoyed the good sized swimming pool which we often had all to ourselves. We enjoyed our short walk into Carvoeiro centre each night where there are plenty of restaurants to choose from but beware the 150 or so steps back up to the townhouse and from the pool. This wasn't a problem for us but may be for someone with mobility issues. The restaurants we enjoyed most were Pashmina (newly opened Indian restaurant with very tasty fresh curry dishes), La Galeria with excellent fresh swordfish and bream and Chef Antonio with great seafood cataplana (stew). The only issue we had with the townhouse was the wifi at the beginning of our stay. We had paid £30 for unlimited wifi (as advertised at the time of booking) but it only became clear once I had paid that I was paying for 35 hours of wifi during our 10 day stay. Once there the 35 hours wifi only allowed us 2 hours of internet. A further £20 was put on the card by Susie when we raised the issue and that lasted 1 hour! It was only when we were able to show a screenshot of the unlimited wifi advertised that we finally got unlimited wifi for the remaining 6 days of our stay. As anyone with three teenagers can imagine, the lack of wifi did not go down well. We also run a small business and chose the property for the unlimited wifi so that we could manage our business banking and accounts while away. If booking again I would get a guarantee that wifi is unlimited, although I see that is no longer advertised for the townhouse. Having said that the house itself is lovely and in a great area of Carvoeiro, so we would be keen to return as long as there were no wifi problems.

Rækkehuset ligger i fin gåafstand til strand og restauranter. Dejlig køligt om natten, selvom der var 32 grader udenfor om dagen. Dog var der ikke gjort rent, da vi kom som aftalt, så vi blev nødt til at køre en tur på flere timer, det var ikke optimalt!

Spotlessly clean, very comfortable stay

I'm just back from a 9 night stay in Susie's 2 bedroom townhouse in Colina Branca. It was impeccably clean and very comfortable, loads of hot water, towels, sun umbrellas etc for myself, husband, 2 kids and parents. The bedrooms were plenty big for sharing as we had our two children in with us on a pull out bed and cot. The pool area was also spotless and we enjoyed many an afternoon on the well-kept sun loungers. One consideration (not necessarily a negative) is the extremely steep hill from the town up to the townhouses - it is perfectly manageable for any active person but could be a problem if you had mobility issues. Having said that, the house was very close to the beach and main square so was worth it for me (and taxis are very affordable if you didn't have a car)! Would have absolutely no problems in recommending Susie's townhouse and would look forward to staying again in future.

Séjour agréable à Carvoeiro aux Colina Branca

Les différentes maisons de ville sont bien situées avec une vue dégagée. Elles proposent deux terrasses exposées différemment sur 2 niveaux dont 1 grande pour se restaurer. La maison est bien équipée et spacieuse avec une suite parentale. La 3ème chambre n'a pas de fenêtre et ne propose que des lits cages. Les photos de l'annonce sont représentatives du lieu. La piscine de bonne taille est en contrebas de la résidence de maisons. Elle est entretenue mais non chauffée.

Goed onderhouden vakantiewoning op een zeer goeie locatie

Pluspunten: - zeer goed onderhouden vakantiewoning - ruime slaapkamers - mooi en zonnig terras - heel goede locatie, niet ver van het centrum van Carvoeiro - heel goeie service van de eigenaar - aangenaam en ruim zwembad met voldoende stoelen en parasols Minpunten: - de woning laat stilaan hier en daar zijn leeftijd zien (bijv. slecht sluitende kasten door ouderdom), maar dit is eigenlijk detail kritiek. Ik zou deze woning zeker aanbevelen aan vrienden of familie. Een vakantie aanrader is een boottocht langs de kustlijn en grotten van Carvoeiro en geniet 's avonds van een etentje in het uitstekende restaurant "Ele & Ela".
