Good Carvoiero base with great pool area
At 1.2km out from the square of Carvoeiro, Casa do Oliveiro is a great base for the area. It's easily walkable into town, although uphill on the way back so just be aware of that...we walked it fine but some may want to grab a cab or drive.
Plenty of space downstairs, with a great pool area.
Two of the bedrooms are small, one without any wardrobes or drawers, and the bunk room with a couple of drawers. The main bedroom is great with a balcony over the pool.
The villa is in a quiet location down a small cut-de-sac, and attached to the next-door villa. There's plenty of privacy though, and if the neighbours aren't noisy its very peaceful during the day. Some noise from chickens and dogs if you need to keep the windows open at night in the summer (which you will), but the locking shutters allow that in all rooms.
Best part is the pool, which catches the sun all day and is kept clean. 7 sun loungers when we were there with cushions. The BBQ is good, with shade and sun options for eating.
All-in-all, a great villa, with the bedroom set-up the only thing stopping a 5 star rating.
The owner and housekeeper communicated well.
