About this property

Gorgeous villa ideally located with pool, ocean views, AirCo, great for families

This magnificent villa is ideally located for everything the charming ex-fishing village of Carvoeiro has to offer. It is enroute to all the famous and hidden coastal walks in the area, including the iconic Benagil cave, and Seven Hanging Valleys. These walks lead to the most spectacular beaches in central Algarve, like Albandeira, Marinha, Benagil, Centeannes (the closest) and Carvoeiro, all of which are reachable by foot or by car.
Half a dozen local restaurants are within 5-7 minutes’ walk, like Vale do Milho Restaurant run by a local Portuguese family (3 min walk) and O Stop, the restaurant on the Centannes Beach which is loved for its cuisine and sunsets (5 min walk).
The villa itself is tastefully decorated to preserve the original feel of Portuguese Quintas and offers panoramic view of the ocean. It is spacious, comfortable and well equipped from its modern kitchen with an outside eating area with a BBQ, to air-conditioning in every bedroom and a large heatable swimming pool.
The Villa is set within 1 acre of gorgeous gardens with cedar, mimosa, eucalyptus and fruit trees ensuring tranquillity and total privacy for your stay.
It is also worth a mention that our cleaning is done by a Portuguese lady taking immense pride in her work and that you will have direct access to friendly, caring and responsive hosts, happy to assist you with any queries you might have during your stay.
The local attractions include multiple Water amusement parks, a Zoo, Zoomarine, Sand City Exhibition, Boat trips to the Caves, Watersports, Bike rides, Golf (3 min stroll to Vale do Milho Golf), Tennis (5-7 min stroll to Rocha Brava Tennis Courts) to name a few…
The Villa’s central Algarve location makes the it ideal to serve as the base for exploration of the whole Algarve area without any need to change your location, as you can easily reach Algarve’s most eastern attractions like Tavira and most Western (Lagos, Sagres) within an easy 1 hr drive. The Monchique mountains with their unspoilt walks are within 30 min drive up North. Also, some of our guests reported making a pleasant 1 day trip to Lisbon and Seville.
You can hardly find a better property combining its impressive size, tasteful original décor, the comfort of all modern amenities, private large heated pool, beautiful 1 acre gardens ensuring total privacy, and the ideal location for everything Carvoeiro and Algarve have to offer!

Cannot recommend this property highly enough. We were a big group and there was lots of space, both inside and outside. Fantastic pool and entertainment areas and the kitchen and bedrooms were great. All extremely comfortable. Veronica was amazing. She checked we were comfortable and extended our check out time. Such a pleasure dealing with such an understanding and considerate person. Thank you! Will certainly recommend to friends and family.

Absolutely beautiful

We really enjoyed our time at this property. The home and grounds are gorgeous, the location is convenient for dining and shopping in Carvoeiro and other nearby towns, and we were extremely comfortable staying in the home for 4 nights with elderly grandparents and a rambunctious toddler. Everything was as described and we would absolutely return to this home again!

Quality Accommodation

Have just returned from a weeks stay at Quinta Atlantica. The property is perfect for a family holiday, being well equipped and extremely large. Easy access to beaches, supermarkets and restaurants...a car is recommended although there is a very good Uber network locally. The pool and gardens are beautiful, offering privacy and peace. Communication with the owner was easy. Have stayed in many Villas in the past, but this was probably the best! Totally recommended...ad well worth the 5 star rating.

Lovely Villa

This villa is beautiful, spacious and very clean! There were 6 adults and we all enjoyed the amazing pool and the fantastic gardens! We ventured out every day to tour the area and returned later in the afternoon to lounge around the pool and walk the gardens. Also having the Vale de Milho restaurant near by was convenient, the food and their hospitality was amazing! Our villa host, Veronica was very responsive and extremely helpful with any questions we had about the villa and the area. We highly recommend staying at Quinta Atlantica you will love it!!

Girls Holiday

It was a great villa with fantastic views and accommodation. All the pictures were as listed. The only thing was the local shops were a bit further away to walk than we thought, it was a bit hilly to the shops. But Uber were great as we used them to go into town and other places. All the local restaurants were great. We would definitely go back.

Beautiful Villa 5 min. from beach

This house amply accommodated our group of 7. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking family meals. The pool are proved to be the most relaxing spot on the property. Clothes washer meant we could pack light! We did rent a car on the third day of our 5 day stay although Uber and Bolt would be OK but for the music festival we were attending. Veronica was extremely helpful and the welcome packet was thourough.

The most amazing villa

I have to say the pictures don’t do this gorgeous villa justice. Such an amazing place! Beautiful garden, huge pool, great kitchen that has everything you need for cooking. The rooms and the bathrooms are big, the beds are very comfortable and the upstairs bedroom has the most stunning view of the ocean. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. We also loved our host Veronica - she was great at communicating, and not just about the villa. This was our first time in Portugal and I was texting her every day with questions about driving, parking, where to go for a drink and a bunch of other things. She was super helpful and was always very quick to respond. Will definitely book again!

Super visit in Carvoeiro!!

The villa was above and beyond our expectations!! We all absolutely loved it. We were two couples touring the Algarve for a week, and our Villa was a perfect home base. Large enough for a few couples our two families. The host was very responsive before, during and at end of trip. Cleaning staff “Luisa” was super friendly, and we never saw yard maintenance or pool staff, but knew they were there, as everything was pristine. Will definitely stay again when we tour that area next. Thanks from the Atlantic Canadians…we loved Quinta Atlantica!!

Magnificent Villa

This villa is even better than the pictures. Outdoors: the pool (which we had heated since we stayed in May), was refreshing each day, especially after hiking the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail, which was a short ride away; bahtmoom and shower by the pool; 2 large dining tables in 2 covered patio areas; many lounge chairs and umbrellas by the pool; a great brick charcoal BBQ; large property with gardens and sculptures. Indoors: huge rooms with plenty of space for all of us (6 adults, 1 toddler), bedrooms had individually controlled A/C units which were great. A short walk downhill to the beach, or a 2 minute drive. The hosts, Veronica and Val immediately responded to the few questions we had.

Beautiful villa

We stayed at Quinta Atlantica as a group of 9 (age range from 7-73) and we all had a wonderful stay. The property is immaculately kept with regular visits from the lovely housekeeper, pool man and gardeners. Waking up each morning to a beautiful sea view surrounded by idyllic gardens is something we will miss the most following our stay. The property is ideally situated for a short walk to Vale de Centeanes beach and Carvoeiro is a little further but still walkable although we found the local Uber service very reliable when it was too hot to walk. The host was very good with communications and flexible with check-in and check-out. Would love to stay again some day. Highly recommend 5*

What an amazing Villa!!!

Highly recommended - Spacious Air Con in every bedroom Pool is excellent - clean, big and perfect for young children Massive grounds Clean villa with loads of space, kitchen is exceptional with 2 fridge freezers and massive oven BBQ area is excellent Very quiet location Best Villa we’ve had and we’ve had 4/5 over the years in various countries. Highly recommend. Main issue is because it’s quiet, most things are a drive away like super markets etc so we used Uber a lot. Drive was great for a car so I’d either advise Uber or rent. Half of our party likes a walk so it was fine, other half preferred to get cars so depends on your travelling party. Overall so happy and would go again no hesitation.

A beautiful 5* Villa

We have just returned from spending 9 days at Quinta Atlantica as a family of 5 adults. It is a beautiful villa, the photos do not do it justice, as it looks even better in reality. It is decorated to a high standard and is very spacious. There are 2 outside dining areas and a lovely swimming pool with lots of space to relax and sunbathe around the pool. The villa is on a very large plot with mature gardens all around it which makes it feel secluded and ensures complete privacy. The location is very good and we walked to and from the beach with ease, though the return walk is a little more challenging as slightly uphill! It took 10-15 mins each way. The cleaner is excellent as is the communication from Veronica. It is very well equipped and we didn't need anything that wasn't already at the property. we found all the other reviews helpful and accurate. We would definitely return in the future.

Perfect holiday

We recently stayed at the Quinta Atlantica for 10nights Aug 2023, 5 people in total. We had not visited Portugal for over 10yrs, the Villa and area really made us all fall back in love with Portugal. The Villa was amazing, very spacious and really well equipped. Great effort has been made with the décor giving a rustic and original feel. The property was immaculately clean and all amenities meet; with cleaning carried out during our stay. The swimming pool and garden area were amazing, offering a good size pool and extensive grounds that were both well kept. The surrounding area was quiet, which consisted of residential properties and a good local family run restaurant within a couple of minutes walking distance. A decent beach is within walking distance, with a restaurant that is good for an evening meal to watch the sunset. Communication with Veronica was very good, she was always on hand if required and very friendly. We all said we would definitely recommend Quinta Atlantica and would 100% return. James

Wonderful stay in Algarve

We stayed at Quinta Atlantica for five nights with four adults and four kids, and I am so happy we chose this property. The location is great with a store nearby and walking distance from the ocean. The house itself is beautiful inside and out. It was immaculately clean when we arrived. Big comfortable rooms, and huge beds in two master suites. We had everything we needed for cooking and grilling, all dishes, utensils and appliances were there. The pool was also extremely clean and warm (we chose to heat the pool at extra cost which was very much worth it). The kids spent a lot of time in the warm water. The outside dining area with a grill was also very much in use during our stay. We enjoyed cooking and dining surrounded by a nice garden with flowers and trees. The garden surrounding the property is a nice place to take a walk and enjoy some fresh air and bird songs. Also, Veronica was extremely helpful and very responsive to our messages/questions and calls. This was definitely one of the best properties we stayed at anywhere in Europe, and would love to stay here again next time we visit Algarve.

Inaccurate listing.

While the house was spacious and the grounds were beautiful the listing has it as air-conditioning this is not the case. I only rent properties with air-conditioning. I have a grandson that is highly allergic to Mosquito bites. It was 35 degrees and to keep the windows close was a horrible sleeping condition. Fans didn't help. Same with the mosquito repellents. This home can use a little updating. And the listing should be changed from saying it has air-conditioning.
