Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home is perfectly positioned to explore the charming oceanside town of Carvoeiro and the broader Algarve region of sunny Portugal. With its child-friendly features, we think this is the perfect holiday home for a family or group of families, and the play area and basketball net will keep kids entertained while you enjoy the leisurely living this home offers. While the kids splash away in their very own pool, it’s easy to let your mind wander while you sip your favourite beverage poolside. Inside, the tiled floors speak to its Portuguese charm, and the sprawling outdoor terrace beckons you to feel the sun’s warmth on your skin. After you wake up in the comfy confines of your bed, take in the salty ocean air from the upper patio with a cold brew in hand. Adventure out to the centre of town for a glass of ginja in one of the many beachfront bars before you enjoy a sit-down meal in a local restaurant, serving up traditional delicacies.
