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!

This was such a lovely, quiet retreat for our group of 7 friends. We had just come from walking several days on the Camino and this house was a restful, comfortable place to enjoy some downtime. The pool and patio were fantastic! We opted to heat the pool and were glad that we did. The king beds seemed much larger than a normal king. Two friends shared a king easily and plenty of extra space. We had two rental cars and found the location to be convenient, just a 10 minute easy drive into Caroveiro.

The house was extremely clean and the property was well cared for. While we went to the local beaches daily, the pool was a focal point. The family had so much fun swimming and goofing off there. We chose to have it heated which made it that much better. Our host was easy to communicate with and very prompt with her responses, though honestly nothing went wrong during our stay. Very peaceful neighborhood but near enough to beaches and downtown. Though I would suggest a car to get around to downtown Carvoeiro The grounds are beautiful and we enjoyed taking short walks through the well maintained garden. A great experience, our family had an awesome time!. I can’t recommend this property enough.

Another fantastic holiday in Quinta Atlantica!

This was our second visit and what another wonderful stay! The villa was just as spacious as we remembered with room for all of us, family friends and teenagers to have our own space. The beautiful pool was such a joy and kept in tip top condition by regular cleaning visits from the pool guy! Louisa was an absolute joy keeping the home so clean for us during our stay. Excellent communication with Veronica, so accommodating. The location is also wonderful, Ubers are an inexpensive way to make the short trip to town and carvoeiro has so many wonderful places to eat. Locally, the Lighthouse, the Vale de Milho restaurant and Le Jardim de Farol are all excellent choices and within walking distance. This definitely won’t be our last visit to this wonderful villa.

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.

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!!

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.

This villa is absolutely gorgeous! The owners were very communicative and great to chat with. Pool was amazing, didn't need it heated in mid September. A/C in each room worked very well. We had a great time! One recommendation would be to supply guests with laundry detergent and liquid soap for washing pots/pans and being able to use the washing machine. THANK YOU Victoria! Felt secure and safe!

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!

So good we've already booked for next year!!!

This villa is amazing! We stayed here as a family of 4 with our adult son flying out to spend a few days with us during our stay. There is so much space in the villa, in the gardens and around the pool and in the bedrooms and bathrooms. The beds are super comfortable and air con is very welcome! It is situated in a quiet residential area within walking distance (for us) to a few lovely restaurants and cafes/bars plus 2 small supermarkets, the Spar been the cheapest of the two, but only a few euros for an Uber into Lagoa where there are a few big supermarkets to choose from. Carvoviera is a lovely little town busy but with a great atmosphere and lots of fantastic places to eat and drink. Villa is very well equipped with a nice BBQ area if you prefer to eat at home. We read previous reviews and decided to use the Uber service rather than hire a car and we’re so pleased we did as it is very reliable and cheap! Only a few euros to get into town. The communication with Veronica was excellent and Louisa the cleaner was a gem! Loved loved loved it!!
