Holiday rentals near Praia Grande de Pêra

My partner and I stayed in this flat for five nights and really enjoyed our stay. The inside of flat itself isn’t beautiful but it has two porches and a rooftop from which to enjoy some stunning views. The apartment is on a hill, and the lovely views of the town and sunsets are well worth the effort to the top. We found the flat much more convenient and comfortable than most holiday apartments. It’s spacious for two people, has cooling, a comfy bed and every amenity we needed. We also appreciated that Christina was very friendly and communicative, check in was easy and the pool was an extra bonus. We would definitely stay again if we were ever back in this part of the world again.

I am going to start this review by stating that I am a professional 52 year old who has a stellar rating across all holiday rental platforms that I have used for innumerable years. I travel frequently and have NEVER had any difficulties with any hosts…until I dealt with these hosts My family travelled to Portugal for a highly anticipated and very significant family reunion-we were so excited. We stayed at Catherine and David’s property for 5 days and enjoyed friendly communication in the lead up to and during our stay. The problem were encountered immediately following our check out. We left at the agreed check out time and exchanged some pleasantries with the cleaner. Shortly following our departure, I received a highly offensive and accusatory message from the hosts (who do not appear to live near the property). They claim that we exceeded the agreed/maximum number of guests, left the house in a “filthy” state and that we tampered with their personal belongings deliberately that they choose to keep in a public area of the home. This information was relayed to the hosts via the cleaner. I refute these accusations in the strongest possible terms. Myself and my family are decent, honest, hard-working people who’s only intent was for a lovely holiday and spend time with our precious extended family. The last thing on our minds was to be deceptive, dishonest, destructive or dirty. I am still devastated by it all. These claims are baseless with no tangible evidence.

We absolutely loved our stay in Carvoeira. Maria was wonderful and sweet and the accommodation was fantastic. Amazing location. Short walk into town with everything you need.
