Luxury apartment with fab. sea views & exclusive, private roof terrace with BBQ.



THE PROPERTY
This is a luxurious, quiet, airy and spacious first floor apartment, which is part of the popular Monte Dourado resort in central Carvoeiro, literally a couple of minutes walk from the iconic beach, fabulous restaurants and shops. Occupying one of the best positions at the top of the hill, the lounge, master bedroom, terrace and fabulous, furnished exclusive and private roof terrace (60 metres square) all have wonderful sea views. To give an idea how close we are you can hear the waves crashing on the shore and see the beach from the terrace.

Having undergone a total refurbishment, the flat benefits from modern bathrooms with electric heated towel rails, a new kitchen, air conditioning /heating/ solar water heating, new tiling throughout and all new furnishings.

We have also installed our own wifi system (not shared with other Monte Dourado apartments), to ensure fast, broadband speeds for our guests.

The apartment comfortably sleeps 4 adults, but, for an additional child there is a fold up bed and a cot. A high chair can be hired from Monte Dourado reception, for an additional daily charge.

The accommodation includes:
2 double bedrooms. The master bedroom has a large super king sized bed (175cms) and the second bedroom has the flexibility of being arranged as either two singles or one (180cms) super king sized bed.

There is a safe in the main bedroom (key available to hire from Reception.)

The kitchen is well equipped, with all white goods, including an electric cooker and induction hob, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, coffee machine and large fridge, plus 3 drawer freezer.

Our recent stay in Carvoeiro
We stayed at this lovely place for a week. The hills to get back up from the center of town are not for the faint of heart but a quick taxi ride is always available if needed. That said, the views are spectacular and worth it. The unit was clean and very comfortable and the resort staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

This is a well taken care of property and the owner has covered off all yours needs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it. Great view of the sea from the balcony and rooftop deck, it’s across the street from the heated pool, it’s quiet, comfortable and an easy walk to beaches and restaurants. What an enchanting town.

Just Perfect
Fantastic, well equipped apartment with amazing views down to Carvoeiro beach. We have stayed in a few properties in the area and this tops the list. The private roof terrace is amazing with 360 degree views and perfect for a sunrise coffee or a sundowner BBQ. Monte Dourado is a great little development with a choice of swimming pools and a friendly reception. Overall a great apartment in a great location.

Fab stay in the centre of Carvoeiro
Excellent apartment in a great location with fantastic views from both the balcony and roof terrace. Bright and airy rooms, well decorated with comfortable beds and quiet air conditioning. Fully equipped modern kitchen with all the mod cons that we could want including coffee machine and juicer. Great service from the reception team including check-in and out and efficient maid service. Sarah was a great host and gave us lots of useful information prior to our arrival. Would definitely stay in this apartment again!

Super apartment & as great as our 2019 visit
We enjoyed another 10 days staying in this lovely apartment. Top attraction for us is the private roof top terrace where we spend most of the day with a drink in one hand and a kindle in the other. Everything is very clean & comfortable. The walk back up the hill from the town in the evening became a bit of a stumbling block for me this time (ankle osteoarthritis) so we just called Ubers & went to some lovely restaurants further out. Will definitely go back. Thanks Sarah

Location
Great two bedroom, two bath villa with nice balcony and roof top terrace with wonderal ocean views. Nice size for two couples and the pool close by was welcome with the warmer temperatures we experienced. Fresh towels and bedding provided by the complex was nice. The use of the kitchen for many meals was beneficial and the walk to the downtown was handy....a bit of an uphill climb back but that was good exercise! Loved the atmosphere and the people in Carvoeiro. We were very happy with our stay and would recommend this villa for anyone wishing to stay on the Algarve.

A gorgeous property with views to die for
From the moment you drive into Carvoeiro you can sense you've picked the most picturesque Algarve city to stay. This property added immeasurably to our 8 wandering days. Modern kitchen was well outfitted to meet every need. Baths and beds were clean, modern and spotless. No rental "nicks and scratches" in this wonderful place. Both the balcony and the roof top deck stole the show, many hours spent whiling away gazing at the ocean or quiet village below. Easy albeit it very hilly walk to town, the apartment is within walking distance of most local restaurants (and their are some god ones.) While there was a local grocery in Carvoeiro, we found that a trip to close by Apolónia Supermercados provided the basics and luxury items. The apartment provides easy walking access to many great coastal hikes and a short drive to some of the most famous hikes in the Algarve. I can't imagine staying anywhere else for an Algarve holiday!

Fabulous apartment - wonderful holiday
We had an amazing 10 days in such a lovely apartment with everything you could possibly need. So we have re-booked already for the same time next year. Comfy beds, good bedlinen, great beach towels, everything in the kitchen you need. Great air-con, fab tv with Netflix and Sky channels. 2 pools are just a step away. It's just a 5 min stroll down to great restaurants and the beach. The best thing of all is the amazing private roof terrace with gorgeous views of the bay, we spent nearly every day up there just relaxing and reading. Oh and of course and having a couple of sundowners on the balcony. Everything was perfect. Thank you Sarah & Laurence we love Carvoeiro & can't wait to come back to your lovely home.

Sensational Stay
This property is fabulous. My wife and I stayed for 6 nights at the height of the summer season. The apartment was large enough for four to six. The kitchen was well equipped, clean and well set up. The washing machine worked wonders and the porch was large enough for a drying rack to be set up with room to eat at the outside table and relax and watch the sunrise/sunset. Clothes dried really fast. The air conditioning works really well despite the elevated temperatures of late August. The check in and check out procedure were easy and the property company was able to set up outings that were enjoyable. It is only a short walk down the shops and markets in the town. One word of warning, the hill that this property tops is no joke... even the twenty somethings would take breaks while hiking back up the hill. The pools were terrrific and offered a break from the heat and were clearly loved by the kids. We loved our stay so much we are looking to become owners of an apartment in the Monte Dourado development (it's location is not nearly as nice as this one though).

Absolutely wonderful!
We had a fantastic stay in Monte Dourado - the apartment was just brilliant, in a wonderful complex in Carvoeiro. The apartment is so well situated, with fantastic views down towards Praia de Carvoeiro. Everything you could need is in the beautifully decorated apartment. The private roof terrace is excellent with large table and comfy chairs, brolly, bbq, and comfy sunbeds, commanding glorious panoramic views of the town. The kitchen is very well stocked with washing machine, dishwasher, cooking utensils etc. The apartment is very comfortable, and the balcony is large with plenty of space for eating out and relaxing whilst overlooking the sea! The town can be accessed via the road entrance or via stairs down to Restaurant Hill, and you can literally be in the main areas of Carvoeiro within minutes. The town is buzzing with great restaurants and bars, offering a brilliant choice. We had two great meals in the beautiful Villa Medici and visited the new Sky Bar that overlooks the square. There is a huge choice of restaurants, offering everything from high-end fine dining through to takeaway and snacks, so you’ll always be able to find somewhere you like. Just a word of warning - check your bill before paying as we had a few experiences of being overcharged - not at Villa Medici, but at a couple of other venues in town. This can happen anytime, anywhere., so is good practice. There are loads of things to do in the area - plenty of pretty towns to visit within a short drive, such as Lagos, Alvor, Ferragudo, and loads of beaches nearby, many activities, water parks, shopping. You’ll not be bored!!! Monte Dourado is a fantastic complex, which is beautifully kept, with multiple swimming pools with loads of sunbeds, tennis courts, lovely gardens and a helpful reception. The gardens and pools are very well maintained. There is no bar or entertainment onsite, which is a huge positive as it keeps the complex quiet and is great for families and couples. Thank you for letting us use your apartment - we loved it.

traumhafte Wohnung mit mega Ausblick
Die Wohnung ist absolut wie beschrieben. Man kann sich hier richtig wohlfühlen! Für 4 Personen ist sie optimal ausgestattet. Wenn die 5te Person ein kleines Kind ist und bei den Eltern im Zimmer schlafen kann, ist auch das noch gut zu machen. Für fünf Erwachsene würde ich die Wohnung nicht empfehlen. Die Wohnung hat in der gesamten Anlage definitiv den schönsten Ausblick von der Dachterrasse. Hier kann man (im Sommer) nicht nur wunderbar frühstücken, sondern auch am Abend den Sonnenuntergang genießen. Da man hier "on the top of the hill" wohnt, ist der Wind teilweise sehr stark, so dass ein Sonnenschirm nicht sicher stehen bleibt. Auch sollte man gut zu Fuß sein, wenn man nach Carvoeiro laufen möchte, es ist doch recht steil. Man kann aber ein Tuk Tuk (hier in Form eines größeren Golfcarts) rufen und sich fahren lassen. Die Anlage ist äußerst gepflegt und die Rezeption sehr freundlich. Unser Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war hervorragend, freundlich und immer sehr schnell, ohne Antwort-Wartezeiten. Für Lage und Umgebung habe ich einen Stern abgezogen, weil mir persönlich der Ort Carvoeiro für einen Urlaub zu wenig bietet. Also Ausgangspunkt für Tagesausflüge und Wanderungen ist der Standort optimal. Einen Mietwagen würde ich hier immer empfehlen. Wir haben immer einen Parkplatz direkt vor dem Haus bekommen - es herrscht freie Wahl der Parkplätze und zu manchen Zeiten wird es knapp. Wenn man sich darauf einstellt, oder auch ein paar Meter laufen kann, ist alles fein!

Alles war so schön, wie im Inserat beschrieben. Sehr komplette und gemütliche Einrichtung. Die Dachterrasse mit dem wunderbaren Blick ud den Balkon konnten wir leider wegen der Wetterlage nicht nutzen, es war zu kühl und zu windig. In der Wohnung haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt, der Kamin und die vielen Kerzen schaffen eine schöne Atmosphäre. Alles war picobello sauber - vielen Dank!
