Casa Colina Azul - Private swimming pool, walking distance to Carvoeiro centre & beach

Excellent in every way.

Excellent host who always responded promptly to messages. Place was lovely albeit a bit of a steep hill to get to up on way back from town especially with a buggy. Many thanks.

This villa was perfect for our party of 6 adults. We loved the private pool & the fact that it was in a quiet location, yet within walking distance of the busy centre & beach. There were plenty of great restaurants to choose from locally, but equally, the self catering facilities in the villa were spot on. The washing machine was a handy touch.

We stayed here as a first holiday and it was so amazing!! The villa is exactly as pictured and spacious for 6 people, we loved the large pool and how easy it was to get into town (10 minute walk). Everything was so easy and Michelle was so lovely to answer any questions we had! Would 100% stay again.

This was our second stay at Michelle’s beautiful villa and yet again we leave with nothing but positive comments. the villa is perfectly stocked with snacks, wine and some fun card and board games and books. any issues we had were dealt with immediately. the villa was kept clean and tidy by the friendly cleaners that stopped by. overall we couldn’t recommend this villa enough! would be a pleasure to visit again.

Great stay, loved to have stayed longer. Will come again.

Perfect location

We have just returned from a wonderful stay in Colina Azul in Carvoeiro. The property company TLC really looked after us. They replied to our emails instantly and when we called them re a blocked toilet, they had someone out to the villa within hours. The villa was cleaned a few times during our 10 day visit and the towels were replaced. We were out each time the cleaners came so it was nice coming home to a clean villa. The pool man came every other day to add chemicals and clean the leaves out of the pool but he came early before we were up so he didn’t bother us. It was really hot during our stay and we did have trouble sleeping without air con. I probably wouldn’t stay in a villa in Portugal in July/August without air con again. The pool temperature was perfect and the pool was in the sun until about 5pm each day and then it was a nice relief to have some shade. The pool is mostly deep so hard to stand up and play games in but good for doing lengths. The villa has games and cards which we played during the evening. This was a nice touch. Also when we arrived, there was tea/coffee/milk/orange juice/water/toilet rolls etc. The nearest large supermarket is a 4 minute drive away. You don’t need a car as you can walk to the beach and restaurants although we used our car almost every day to go to different beaches, the Slip and Slide water park, Sand City, Vilamoura, Lagos and Albufeira. We love the location of Carvorerio on the Algarve as it is very central but it is not my favourite beach. We did do the boat trip from Carvorerio around the caves, which was definitely worth doing. We also did the go karting towards Lagos which was brilliant (I thought we would have to wear suits but we didn’t) The villa doesn’t have a safe so we just used our suitcase to lock our belongings in when we went out. The villa is about 12 min walk down hill to the town, although it may be slightly longer on the way up if you have to keep stopping. There are taxis in the main square to take you up the hill but it is a nice way to walk your dinner off. Due to coronavirus the Algarve was really quiet so not all the restaurants were open but we got to eat in a lot of nice ones and always managed to get a table outside (only going inside for the toilet). All the bar and restaurant staff wore masks and we felt really safe. A few nights we stayed up the hill and ate in L’Orange and the restaurant at Villa Nova. Both were very pleasant.

Our family of 5stayed here to celebrate my sons 21st Birthday. We used it as a base to explore the Algarve. The villa was fab, spacious, clean & comfortable. Great pool & BBQ area. A 10/12min walk to the town and restaurants also close by. We particularly liked o cantinho restaurante in the town for service & quality. If I could offer one criticism it would be not having access to a washing machine. There is also no Air Con but the fans worked well. Overall I still give think this property deserved a 5* rating.
