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 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. A cot and 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 (170cms) and the second bedroom has the flexibility of being arranged as either two singles or one king sized bed.

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

2 bathrooms. Both have showers, are heated for winter guests, and there is also a bath in the main family bathroom. Hair dryers are provided in both bathrooms. NB Turn on the switch for the mirror light to activate the electric socket.

Lounge / dining room - contains two double sofas, flat screen smart tv, with a range of European / UK channels, including Sky Sports and BT sports, BBC, ITV channels and Netflix. There is a wireless sound bar to stream your own personal music.

The dining area has a dining table and four chairs, sideboard and console. For the cooler winter evenings, there is a wood burning stove and logs /kindling are available to purchase, for delivery, 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.

The outside verandah has a table and four chairs, plus two comfortable rattan chairs and a coffee table.

The roof terrace offers spectacular, panoramic views and sunsets; overlooking the sea and the bay. It is furnished with five rattan sun loungers and side tables, a large, rectangular dining table with six chairs , two umbrellas and a charcoal BBQ. There is electricity on the roof, with lighting and solar lighting for guests wanting to enjoy the fabulous sunsets and the stars!

Air conditioning /air-sourced heating units in both bedrooms, the lounge area and heaters / towel rails in both bathrooms.

The flat is also ideally positioned, being directly to the right of the main adult and child pool area, the main pool being heated in the winter months. Parking is also available directly outside the flat and there is the advantage of a dedicated Reception area, to ensure we meet all your holiday requirements, including the collection/deposit of the key. There are also two tennis courts on the site, which can be booked via reception.

Maid service is provided twice weekly, with a weekly change of towels and bed linen. Should guests want additional cleaning, this can be arranged through Reception, for an hourly charge.


WINTER BOOKINGS - November - March (longer lets)
Electricity is charged on top of winter bookings, although we do have solar heated hot water, which reduces our heating costs significantly.

If you want to know anything else about the apartment or Carvoeiro area, including advice on car hire or taxi services, then do just contact me via VRBO and I will get back to you asap!

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!

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.

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).

Beautiful well situated condo with exceptional view
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.

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.
