Offering far-reaching sea views and situated just a short walk from the sandstone cliff-backed beach, this central Carvoeiro is superbly situated to make the most of a sun-soaked break to the breathtaking Algarve coast. Wake up each morning to the sound of the waves lapping at the shore, as you sip a coffee on the spacious balcony out front and watch the town come to life around you. Step back through the sliding doors and you'll find a recently renovated living space and kitchen that is both casual and contemporary – the perfect match for your beachside setting. In the bedroom, an abundance of storage space helps maintain the relaxed minimalist style, while a vast super king-size bed guarantees a comfortable night's sleep. In addition, floor-to-ceiling sliding doors offer easy access to the balcony. The former fishing village of Carvoeiro boasts one of the finest beaches along this picturesque stretch of the coast. However, there's more on offer than soaking up the sun on its golden sands. Those with a sense of adventure might like to embark on a boat trip to the magnificent Benagil cave. Alternatively, why not rise early and set out on the 12km out-and-back Sete Vales trail, with its spectacular clifftop coastal vistas.

About Carvoeiro
Carvoeiro, nestled along the stunning Algarve coast of Portugal, emerges from the azure waters of the Atlantic as a picturesque fishing village that has grown gracefully into a serene holiday destination. Unlike the bustling resorts that dot the coastline, Carvoeiro retains an authentic charm, with whitewashed houses perched atop the cliffs and a sheltered sandy beach that curves gently around the bay. The village's streets are a delightful maze of shops,...
