Thank you for a great stay.

We've stayed at the Monte dourado resort many times over the last 15 years . This apartment with it's balcony overlooking the pool affords great sea views and although a steep road back lends itself to being accessible to the towns bars and restaurants.

Amazing location

Spacious condo next to pool and short walk to town. The hill up from the village is steep - was a quite a lot for my 80 year old mom, but she did fine and wasn't a problem for anyone else. highly recommended!

Wonderful apartment

We stayed for 7 nights at this lovely apartment. Communication with Sally before and during our stay was superb. The apartment is extremely comfortable and well equipped. The views are stunning and location to the town and beach really convenient and great to have the swimming pool right outside. We are sad to leave and hope to be back!

Lovely apartment in Carvoeiro

This was our second visit to this apartment and we all had a great time. Very well located with beautiful sea/sunset views. Easy access to main pool and short walk into town but steep walk back. Comfortable and well equipped. Expect we will return as love Carvoeiro and the beaches nearby.

Amazing stay in a beautiful property

This was the best family holiday we have ever had, in no small part due to this apartment and its location. Carvoeiro is such a beautiful spot and this apartment is perfectly placed to enjoy everything it has to offer. Yes, there is a hill to climb, but we really enjoyed the walks up and down every day and didn't find this a problem at all. As for the apartment itself - the photos really don't do it justice. Spacious (plenty of space for a family of 5), well-equipped and amazing views. Swimming pools accessible and clean. Comfy beds. I could go on. If in any doubt, just book it, you won't regret it.

Beautiful apartment with everything you need

Property was absolutely beautiful and much larger than we expected. Everything you need is there so we cooked a lot there as with three children it’s not always the easiest to get out. The views are beautiful and we spent one evening watching the sun set from the roof terrace. We had a wonderful holiday thank you!

Beautiful, comfortable apartment in Carvoeiro

Stayed at Sallys apartment for a week, thoroughly enjoyed. Near to town (the hills keep the fitness ticking over 😁). Beautifully furnished with a homely touch, great air-con which was very much needed. Prompt communication with small queries / questions. Would definitely consider a future stay. Would recommend 😁

This is a lovely apartment which is very comfortable ,modern and a stunning location with sea view

We really enjoyed our stay .it is very easy to get around as it is very central and close to the beach ,shops and restaurants .The apartment is very well equipped and the bathrooms and showers are excellent and having a washing machine was good . The roof top terrace and barbecue area is lovely and the views are amazing .The tennis courts are good .Perhaps as you have to climb a steep hill from the town it may be challenging for some .

Best ever.

The write up and photos do not do Casa Alta justice. This had to be one of the best holidays ever. The location and quality of the accommodation is superb. in addition to this, the owner, Sally, cannot do enough to help make your holiday go with a swing. The people in the resort are naturally warm and friendly. I am looking forward to returning as soon as I can.

Christmas in Carvoeiro

Amazing stay at this apartment! The host was very helpful from the begining, it had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked, even cooked a full on Xmas lunch....the bed was comfy and the shower was amazing! The terrace was a great bonus and was lovely to sit and watch the sun setting with a cold beer or two! We know the area well so the location is perfect. Highly recommend this apartment and wouldn't hesitate on returning 👌 Thank you Sally for everything x

Very comfortable Apartment

A lovely air conditioned apartment, pleasantly furnished with a very comfortable double bed. We very much enjoyed the large sunny balcony with it's lovely outlook over the pool and the sea. The roof terrace offered a great place for sun downers with its glorious views watching the sun set. A possible negative for some is that the apartment is part of a reasonable size complex hosting a good number of people. Our time there was somewhat marred by large noisy groups sitting around our pool. Sad to say they were Brits. At times it was lovely and peaceful and at others it was very noisy with a lot of bad language being used. If you catch a period with reasonable people staying you will not be disappointed.

Terrific Views and You can Hear the Waves from the Atlantic!

This is a wonderful apartment condo. Large space, very comfortable beds, clean and nicely appointed. Great internet speed for streaming. The views from the balcony and roof top are one of the best in the community. About a 5 minute walk to the village, with abundance of restaurants and bars. Sally was always quickly responsive to questions - overall this is a terrific rental that we will want to book again. YOU WILL NOT AT ALL BE DISAPPOINTED!

A cosy and well appointed apartment. High quality fixtures with thoughtful attention to everything thing you need for a relaxing stay. Friendly and communicative owner who answered queries quickly and fully Apartment is located on a quiet and well maintained development on a hill with far reaching views. Conveniently sited for the village but be aware that the walk back up the steep hills could be strenuous for some. A really enjoyable stay. Thank you

This is the fourth time we have been renting this apartment and it has everything we need. The only negative thing, is that we could just stay a week this time!

About the host

Hosted by Sally Holmes

I hope you enjoy your stay and return to Carvoeiro again and again, as so many people do.

Why they chose this property

We started going to Monte Dourado, Carvoeiro in 2008. It was a last minute deal and we had never been to Portugal before. Since then we haven't been anywhere else! Monte Dourado is a stunning resort, ideally situated so that you are close to the bars and restaurants aswell as the beach, without being down in the noise of the town. The people are so friendly. It really is a beautiful place. Whenever we arrive, I feel the tension just drop away. It really is like coming home.

What makes this property unique

In addition to the standard two bedrooms that are provided by the apartments on Monte Dourado, we also have a beautiful, private roof terrace that boasts its own BBQ, sun loungers and dining area. Whether you want to soak up the sun during the day, or watch the stunning sun sets while finishing the day with a glass of Sangria, it really is a fantastic addition to the apartment. Recently we have installed free, high speed Wifi, which will enable you to stream from your own Netflix etc accounts.
