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).

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.

Super apartment & as great as our 2019 visit
We enjoyed another 10 days staying in this lovely apartment. Top attraction for us is the private roof top terrace where we spend most of the day with a drink in one hand and a kindle in the other. Everything is very clean & comfortable. The walk back up the hill from the town in the evening became a bit of a stumbling block for me this time (ankle osteoarthritis) so we just called Ubers & went to some lovely restaurants further out. Will definitely go back. Thanks Sarah

Great two bedroom, two bath villa with nice balcony and roof top terrace with wonderal ocean views. Nice size for two couples and the pool close by was welcome with the warmer temperatures we experienced. Fresh towels and bedding provided by the complex was nice. The use of the kitchen for many meals was beneficial and the walk to the downtown was handy....a bit of an uphill climb back but that was good exercise! Loved the atmosphere and the people in Carvoeiro. We were very happy with our stay and would recommend this villa for anyone wishing to stay on the Algarve.

Winter break at Monte Dourado.
I have been to Carvoeiro before so was very aware of the town, its location and amenities. The Monte Dourado complex is one that i wanted to try and was not disappointed. The location is perfect for access into town a long as you don’t mind the steep walk back to the apartment. Our apartment on the complex was in a perfect location for views over the town and to enjoy the sun on the balcony and roof terrace. The apartment was decorated to a high standard and was very comfortable and clean. The host was very helpful and quick to respond should you have any question and made the whole process very easy.

The Apartment and complex were extremely well maintained. The pool was great, was very near and open until 9 at night . We didn't arrive until midnight but picking up the keys was an easy process and we even managed to pick up some groceries as the local supermarket was still open in town . The apartment was very comfortable and the roof top terrace was stunning. Location was great and very easy to walk into town and to the beach. Would recommend the boat trip to the caves. Lots of well priced restaurants for cocktails and meals. Sarah provided lots of information throughout the booking and was very responsive. We had a fantastic holiday.

Fabulous apartment - wonderful holiday
We had an amazing 10 days in such a lovely apartment with everything you could possibly need. So we have re-booked already for the same time next year. Comfy beds, good bedlinen, great beach towels, everything in the kitchen you need. Great air-con, fab tv with Netflix and Sky channels. 2 pools are just a step away. It's just a 5 min stroll down to great restaurants and the beach. The best thing of all is the amazing private roof terrace with gorgeous views of the bay, we spent nearly every day up there just relaxing and reading. Oh and of course and having a couple of sundowners on the balcony. Everything was perfect. Thank you Sarah & Laurence we love Carvoeiro & can't wait to come back to your lovely home.

Stayed here in early December 2018. Very comfortable apartment which felt like home from home. Well equipped and unlike other apartments we have stayed in at Monte Dourado the owners allow access to the roof terrace. Absolutely stunning sea view from the terrace with lovely outdoor furniture. Owners were lovely to deal with through messages. We arrived after dark and it is chilly in the evenings when the sun has gone down. Sarah had very kindly set up the fire ready to be lit. Lovely welcoming gesture! Will definitely be back.
