NEW TOURIST TAX

As you may have seen on the news or in the press, Portugal has introduced a small Tourist Tax like some other European countries, which came into force in May 2024. It is collectable and payable by us directly to the Lagoa local council which encompasses Carvoeiro.

The fee for the tax applies throughout the year and is broken down into high and low season.
Low season between November 1st and March 31st - €1 per person per night
High season between April 1st and October 31st - €2 per person per night

The fee is capped at a maximum of 7 nights regardless of longer stays.
The fee is chargeable for any guest age 13 or above.

We will request the additional tax through the Vrbo website on or around the second payment. To calculate the correct fee, please let us know any guest aged 13 and above.

Beautiful apartment in an excellent location

We stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of our Portugal holiday. Such a lovely apartment! Location was amazing. Close to town. It is a bit hilly so those with mobility issues might have difficulty but that’s true for everywhere in Europe. Comfortable beds, nice living space and kitchen. Chris and Vanessa are excellent hosts.

Perfect location, spacious apartment

We really enjoyed our quick stay at Christopher and Vanessa’s place in Carvoeiro. The condo was very spacious with a big terrace and greatly located. The kids had fun in the swimming pools and it’s a short walk down the street with lots of shops and restaurants. Everything was perfectly set to suits our needs in the bedrooms on our arrival.

Beautiful setting

Stayed with our 3 boys age 18, 20 and 22 and very comfortable in unit. Enjoyed the location and morning runs along the boardwalk/trail along coast. Wish there was not a charge to use tennis courts. Unit clean and well supplied. Owners provided excellent instructions for unit. We were there during a cold spell and would have liked a heated pool but would recommend place anyways as doubt any pools are heated. Would stay at this spot again.

Felt like home

We stayed here in the middle of our Portugal vacation. The apartment was a haven of comfort and gave us a chance to do laundry and really enjoy the city and beaches. The place was perfect, comfortable and spacious. We loved the smaller town and so many beaches to explore! The hosts were the most communicative and dedicated to us having an excellent experience. Check in was easy and the lobby staff were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend!

Family Holiday

We have had an incredible stay in this amazing apartment with a superb location. The communication with the owners was superb. The apartment was clean, and everything you need. We loved sitting out on the balcony during the evening. Plenty of swimming pools and we used the bigger pool. Loads of restaurants and entertainment. The beach was fantastic and clean. We went on the boat trip and a train ride around the town. An amazing ice cream shop which the kids loved. In the evening the town had loads going on and a great family buzz. A very friendly feel throughout. We will be coming again and cannot fault.

Fabulous Stay!

Just returned from a wonderful holiday. Chris and Vanessa’s apartment was beautiful. As a family of 5 (with children of 22, 20 and 18) we had plenty of room in an airy, spotlessly clean and well equipped apartment. The beds were super comfy and the fold up bed for the 5th person was more than adequate. Chris was super helpful when we enquired about renting for 5 people and even sent me photos of one of the bedrooms set up with the fold out bed in use so I could decide whether it would be suitable for our needs. The complex itself is well maintained, super clean and a short stroll into the lovely town with plenty of really good restaurants to choose from. Small supermarkets were also within easy walking distance to pick up essentials. The apartment was set within a quiet area of the complex and we enjoyed the balcony overlooking the pool area. Nothing but positive things to say about our visit. Would definitely recommend Chris and Vanessa and their fantastic apartment and we hope to return some time in the future. Many thanks again, Sally and family.
