Villa Walkthrough

Casa das Palmeiras is a single story villa with the bedrooms and living accommodation all on one level.

Approach

Casa das Palmeiras is approached by a paved driveway, and the front of the property has spiky exotic plants framed by low white-washed walls with space to park the car.

Ground Floor

The villa opens into a hallway which leads into a large L-shaped living/dining room with cool tiled floors and white-washed walls. Two armchairs and a sofa are gathered around a coffee table in the cosy seating area, and there is a television which has some satellite channels and a DVD player. Large patio doors lead out onto the pool terrace, and keep the room bright and airy. For our guests in the winter months, there is an open fireplace with tapered chimney breast – perfect to take the chill off the out of season night air.

The other section of the room houses the oval glass dining table with chairs for six people. There is a serving hatch from this room into the galley kitchen, which has base and eye-level wooden units and comes equipped with a hob, oven, fridge/freezer, microwave and washing machine. Also leading off the dining room is one of the bedrooms, which is furnished with a wooden double bed, and has an en-suite bathroom. The remaining two bedrooms are at the other end of the villa, and both have twin beds.
These two rooms share the other separate bathroom and the villa has a guest cloakroom.

Outside

Casa das Palmeiras has its own private pool and the surrounding terrace has plenty of sun-loungers for you to bask in the glow of the summer sun. For those who prefer the cool of the shade, there are parasols and a covered terrace area with dining table and chairs to take advantage of alfresco dining and the barbecue in the warm evenings. The roof terrace offers wonderful views of the ocean, and is a lovely place to sunbathe.

Additional Information

Welcome pack, beach towels and hairdrier included.

Casa das Palmeiras is linked to a neighbouring property only by the exterior steps to the roof terrace. There is a supplement for heating the pool at £100 per week. For the cooler months, there is heating in the bedrooms (included) and a wood burner in the living room, for which logs can be purchased locally.

Cot and highchair available - please bring own cot linen.

Location

Just a few hundred meters of the villa are local shops and restaurants. For a wider choice, Carvoeiro centre is only 2.5km away where a large selection of bars and restaurants can be found, as well at the town’s lovely beach. The nearest shop is only 200m away – ideal for those last minute essentials, and the closest restaurant is only 200m, perfect for walking quickly home after a couple of glasses of wine.

Carvoeiro was originally a sleepy fishing village, but in recent years it has grown into a flourishing resort. Despite the impact of tourism, however, the town has managed to retain its originally charm, and fishermen still bring their catches home every day to sort in the town’s harbour. The small sandy beach is lined with colourful fishing boats, and the fishermen’s fare can be found in the fish restaurants of the town. The small beach has water sports on offer and is popular with all types of holidaymakers, so can be a little crowded in the height of the season. However, there are many little coves close by for those who prefer a quieter scent.

Along the beachfront, there are several bars and restaurants as well as small supermarkets and boutiques. Away from the beach, the cobbled streets of the old town hark back to a different era, and are lined with quaint shops selling local crafts and market stalls heave with locally produced fresh goods.

For those with kids, good attractions nearby include…
• ZooMarine - an ocean theme park set amongst lakes and gardens with exhibitions, shows and rides to entertain the whole family. Has a large range of marine animals from sea lions and dolphins to turtles and exotic birds. If you pre-book it, you can also enjoy the magical experience of swimming with dolphins (for a rather pricey fee, somewhere around £80). ZooMarine is situated in Guia, and the park runs bus services from Carvoeiro to the park.
• Aqualand - plenty of slides and flumes to scream your way down and lazy rapids where you can float along in rubber rings. Located in Alcantarilha, there are limited bus services, the nearest is from Armacao de Pera, about 6km away.
