Floors where sticky when u walked on them Meet and greet guy, turned up drunk! Villa smelt of sewage, had to leave all windows open. One day we had no water to the villa. Hot tub temperature did not work. Major roadworks outside the villa, so from 8am to 6pm, all we could hear was dump trucks and diggers...the noise was terrible, so had to leave the villa each morning. Terrible experience, i will be contacting the owner about getting a refund for the villa. Any help from you would be greatly appreciated ##### Ben R.

Oct 5, 2020 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic venue, fantastic views The villa was way more than we expected and a great place to spend our holiday, close to the beach, shops, restaurants and bars but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. The rooftop sunbathing area was great with a lovely view of the sea and we even saw the dolphins swimming by one late afternoon. There was a BBQ for use that we didn't expect and spent many an evening sitting outdoors enjoying beautiful fresh food from the Intermarche (large supermarket approx 3km away). We did have an issue with the temperature of the hot tub but the manager's son came and looked at this for us. My mum has slight mobility issues and had trouble getting in and out of the shower and with the steep pathway into the property so that is something to be aware of for anyone who has any mobility problems. I have seen negative reviews on the site about the villa being damp and smelling of damp, I can imagine if the property is empty for any length of time or during winter months that there would a damp smell with the property as there was a slight smell when we arrived but being so close to the sea this is to be expected and was easily rectified by opening one or more of the wonderful patio doors that give light and a cooling breeze through when it is so hot. You have access to the numerous pools in the Alga Seco complex should you wish to use them with great views of the sea. Arcordeao bar is a nice friendly little bar, great for watching sports of llistening to music and does snacks. O Cantinho restaurant does great food and really friendly staff. Vale de Milho golf is a 20 minute walk away, nice little 9 hole course (a bit hilly), great food and bar run by English family who also run the tennis Clube de Carvoeiro. Great food, lovely setting and fabulous gins ##### Frank S. ### 8/10 Good #### Anneke P.

Oct 23, 2019 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Wouldn't recommend We stayed here earlier in the summer and were shocked at the damp state of the property. It has been a beautiful home in the past, but hasn't been maintained or cleaned well and I spent a whole day just cleaning the kitchen and living area. The reason that we needed a 3-bedroom villa was that my husband and I were bringing our toddler and my father-in-law. We were then disappointed and angry when we found that the 3rd bedroom could not be used as the wall and ceiling were both black with damp. When I raised this with the manager Jeanette, she told us as there was only 4 of us staying, 2 bedrooms would be enough for us and we didn't need to use the 3rd. This was reiterated by the owner Roger, who said he definitely wouldn't recommend a toddler, or anyone, sleeping the 3rd bedroom. They were both aware of the damp situation before we arrived, and yet hadn't informed us beforehand. This is not the standard of accommodation, or level of customer service we are used to in Carvoeiro, having holidayed in the village for a number of years, and we were shocked and angry to receive this treatment. I am glad to see that they have now amended the advert to say 2 bedrooms, but I wouldn't recommend staying in this property until they invest more money into the maintenance of the building and manage it better in resort. ##### Cara T. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mariam L.

Nov 8, 2018 #### In need of repair and a good clean Having booked with Home and Away in Carvoeiro before, I had expected the same standard as previous accommodation. I understand this is naïve as their testing of the sites and I should have paid more attention to the other reviews. The house was not cleaned properly to start with. The kitchen and the drawers smell of damp. For three bedrooms one bathroom really isn't enough if you are sharing with adults rather than children. Everything is in need of an overhaul, update, painting and particularly cleaning. Though the location is good, there is absolutely no privacy as the garden gives onto the parking of the villa rental next door. ##### Katarina M.
