A Beautiful 2 Bedroom Sea View Apartment Overlooking Carvoeiro Bay.

The apartment was cold when we were there in March. The description said there was heating but the heating was a very small wood fireplace that you could buy wood for but was not practical as a heating source or portable heaters you could plug in. You had to pull curtains across doorways to keep any heat in. The portable heaters were ineffective. We had one plugged in for 4.5 hours one night and by the time we went to bed the temperature had risen from 16 to 18! Not very warm. By morning the temperature was back to 16 as we were nervous to leave it plugged in overnight or while gone during the day. When in the apartment, we wore hoodies/jackets, caps and covered ourselves with blankets to try to keep warm. We usually enjoy spending the evenings in our apartment when travelling but this was very uncomfortable. We spoke to other people who were staying in the same complex and their units had electric heat pumps and their units were comfortable. Our unit had air conditioning units similar looking to heat pumps so I suspect the unit could quite easily have a heat pump/air conditioning unit. It was a shame the unit was so cold as it spoiled our experience in the Algarve. The unit was decorated nicely and if it had heat could have been quite comfortable. The description of the unit also said there was a clothes dryer but there wasn’t.

Great location wit views of the town and sea, air conditioning and WiFi made it a comfortable stay.More space than the pictures show for a family of 4, with two teenagers.

We had a lovely week at the property. It is ideally situated on the Monte Dourado complex and has the most stunning views of the beach and town from the balcony. Communication with the owner was good and the property was clean and well equipped. We would definitely stay in the property again

If you’re looking for the perfect place to enjoy a magnificent view while enjoying your morning coffee or afternoon and evening beverages- this is it!!! We enjoyed our daily walks around the town and this community is so welcoming. We would recommend this home and if the opportunity arises would come back here.

Just got back from a fabulous stay at John's apartment in Monte Dourado! We arrived late at night, so although reception was closed, John had arranged for the key and directions to be left securely in a lock box, which was ideal as we were very tired from travelling. On entering, and despite seeing the photos online, we were blown away by the size and cleanliness of the apartment! A long hallway leads into the large living / dining room with sliding patio door onto the huge patio. The views from here are amazing, overlooking the town and surrounding area and directly over the beach with its beautiful sunsets and ever-changing light! The balcony was very well appointed furniture-wise, with every type of patio furniture available. There are two good size bathrooms, two large bedrooms - the master having a very comfy king size bed with crisp, clean bedding - and the twin bedroom looked equally comfortable, though we only used this room for storage. Both bedrooms have plenty wardrobe space and lots of hangers! The kitchen has every full size appliance plus coffee maker microwave etc... and tons of cutlery and crockery! The living / dining room is vast and very nicely and comfortably furnished. The TV has English channels. The complex itself was beautifully maintained and the apartment was absolutely perfect! Towels were changed and bins emptied twice during our week. All in all, a fabulous apartment, even better than it looks online and we loved the location and Carvoeiro itself!

Great views and facilities at this well equipped apartment. Enjoyed the pool and local area is a short walk to restaurants, beach and bars.

We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It is the perfect size for a family of 4 and we loved being so close to the town and beach. Everything was clean and tidy, the beds were super comfy and we loved sitting out on the balcony. The kitchen had everything it needed. A bottle of water on arrival would have been a nice touch as we arrived late at night and didn’t have anything with us. John was great on the lead up with good communication about check in and local information and he was a phone call away if we needed anything. Just a few things to note, not specific to the apartment but more the resort… there is quite a lot of town noise at night from the bars, I guess that comes with being so close to the town, but I wasn’t expecting the music to be quite so load, it varied night to night, some nights were ok but karaoke night was a particularly bad nights sleep for us! Also the pool was cold, I knew it was unheated in May but it really was cold, the kids could go in for about 10 mins before the shivers took over and had to get out. One of our sons refused to go in after the second day as he got too cold. I think it really needs to be heated in May. Also the tennis court closes at 7pm, which was fine for us as we have kids but something to bear in mind for anyone wanting to play in the evening. Also there is a €5/hour charge, which the owner told us about but I don’t think it is mentioned in the accommodation details. On the whole though, very happy with the place. Tha

My family and I had a wonderful time (great apartment, lovely village, friendly people, beautiful views...). Highly recommended!

Conveniently located apartment 5 minute walk from the very lively town centre. Ideal for those wanting a not too quiet break away. Nice communal pool.

Great spot. spacious condo. short walk to village although steep incline so might be difficult for older folk or younger kids but my 80 yr old mom and 5 yr old son did ok. overall highly recommended!
