We were there in November, weather was rainy and windy the first day, but sunny and 65 the second day. This is a hard town to get to from Seville, so we ended up hiring a driver to take us from Seville to Faro where we rented a car and drove to Carvoeiro. Lovely little town. We ate at O Cantinho and A Gale, both traditional Portuguese restaurants that I would highly recommend. Great boardwalk along the cliffs above the ocean. Easy to walk around, hilly, but that did not bother us. Pretty short drive to Praha Marinha where we hiked the the seven hanging valleys trail. All in all, a great spot for exploring the Algarve. I would very much like to go back here.

We have been to this area before and like it’s proximity to the town, you can walk there is 30 mins, Carvoeira, also there are supermarkets cafes and restaurants nearby, some of the later you can walk to. There are several interesting towns nearby such as Alvor and Silves and beautiful boardwalks at Alvor and Salgados plus the lovely walk at beach at Pria do Vale de Centeanes. Favourite place to eat for us have been O Algar at Benagil, La Bella Vita, Primavera plus Organic or Earth for breakfast/ brunch and Decadente for coffee snacks and drinks in the evening.

Lovely town. Lovely friendly people. Enjoyed everything the town had to offer. Highlight was the coastal boardwalk to Algar Seco. Highly recommend both Café Fino or The Earth Café for breakfast. Definitely check out the fantastic Indian restaurant Pani with stunning views of the ocean.

we walked the boardwalk on the edge of the cliff ,had lunch and dinner many times down near the ocean ,saw the famous caves ,lounged atop the cliff in restaurant Benagil lovely picturesque view , take it all in it will be an experience you will cherish for life. enjoy

Went in early October and weather was perfect with wall to wall sunshine and temperatures in the 20s. Carvoeiro is a nice mix of buzz and good restaurants and pubs with a busy beach. Surrounding villages, beaches and cliff walks are stunning.

The complex is exactly as the pictures show. There was nothing missing whatsoever. Extremely clean with very friendly staff. The ladies in reception offer a above and beyond service. Nothing was too much trouble. Although the complex has been built in the most beautiful location with extremely expensive privately owned villas surrounding it, it was quite remote and a car is required as we did not see evidence of a local bus service. We don't drive abroad and initially used the local taxi service but soon realised UBER were cheaper. We never waited more than 3 minutes. We paid about £22 to travel to Albuferia each way and it was worth it as the sunbeds on the beach were cheaper there so it swung in roundabouts. The complex was very quiet and we would definitely return. Beautiful apartment, beautiful complex and pool area, peaceful but more than that beautiful, helpful and kind staff
