Location, location location!
"Just returned from a short break staying at Casa Caravela in Carvoeiro. The villa is a stone throw away from both the beach and the town. It is very spacious, homely, well equipped and in a fabulous location. You can sit on the terrace (one of many) or Sit on the sofa in the lounge and see the beach and hear the waves crashing! Maybe next time I visit I will be able to enjoy the pool in the sunshine.........." - Mrs Rome January 2017

Casa Caravela, Carvoeiro, August 2017
We had the most enjoyable family holiday in Casa Caravela. The accommodation is very spacious, maintained to a very high standard and is very well appointed. From the moment you walk through the door, it feels like your home!!
The swimming pool was a real favourite and in the month of August we did not need the pool heating.
The location of the property is perfect and is walkable to the village centre, and you do not require a car at this property.
I would highly recommend this property and we look forward to returning.

Great villa, great location!
A very well equipped, bright and airy villa with plenty of room for all the family. We had a wonderful two week stay. The villa is conveniently placed for the town, but tucked away in residential area. The villa has everything you would need for a great stay. Alex (the property manager) was on hand for any problems and responds very quickly if you need him. The town has lots of restaurants and bars to suit all tastes and budgets. There are plenty of supermarkets for everyday essentials. Would recommend the villa.

Spacious well equipped house in a central location
Great place to stay in Carvoeiro, if you like a central location close to the beach and the town square. In the evening you can hear the live music from the square on your terrace. The house is very spacious, the ensuite bathrooms are great, as well as the pool area. The house is clean and very well equipped. Recommended!

Wonderful stay in an ideal location
A great two week stay in this lovey villa. Pictures really do not do justice to the facilities, location and space this beautiful villa provides. Huge airy rooms, all with excellent en-suite facilities, and extremely well equipped. The location is ideal - a quick 5 minute downhill stroll to the centre of town and restaurants but far enough out to be private. The outside space is superb - lovely gardens and pool area all very well maintained. Communal areas inside are all well appointed with plenty of seating, wifi and satellite TV.
The management company were great - very helpful both before and during our stay, with a real personal touch. Nothing seemed too much trouble from early check in to luggage storage.
I would recommend Casa Caravela and Pac4Portugal to anyone looking for a relaxed stay in Carvoeiro. We will certainly be booking again for next year

CASA CARAVELA - spacious villa, excellent location
We stayed in this villa for a week in June. Very spacious villa, 3 large bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. Air-con throughout. Nice pool, with sunbeds and beach towels provided. Fully functional kitchen. A BBQ is provided. Lovely views of the sea from the balcony. Very clean, and the cleaner and pool man come in once a week. A welcome pack was provided on arrival, which was a lovely personal touch.
A 2-3 minute walk to the centre of town, plenty of bars and restaurants in the area. "Taste" restaurant was exceptional. Plenty of places offering various trips. We went to Zoomarine and the markets in Loule.
Booked this villa through Pac4Portugal, and Alex came to see us on arrival and before we left to ensure everything was ok. He even dropped us off at the supermarket to do our shopping!!
We would have no hesitation in recommending this villa and I hope to return in the near future.

Fab location
Very spacious villa with a fantastic location. The villa is a stone's throw to the centre of Carvoeiro and even closer to some of the restaurants and bars. You can see the beach and sea from the villa and could walk there in 5 minutes.
The villa itself is well appointed with 3 large double bedrooms all with en suite bathrooms and it has plenty of communal space. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could need. It has a pool and plenty of outdoor space although in January it wasn't warm enough to use it! Will be fabulous in the warmer weather.

About the host
Hosted by Alex Cracknell
We (Pac4Portugal) are property managers working on behalf of the proud owners: Siobhan and Jonathan Lovell (pictured above), who have 3 sons of varying ages. Working and living in the UK they have enjoyed for a number of years escaping to Carvoeiro, Algarve for important family relaxation holidays.
Why they chose this property
The Lovells decided in 2014 they wanted to buy a villa, after finding they love coming back again and again to the same area. The Lovells found Casa Caravela in 2016 and became they became proud owners in January 2017. Direct from the Lovells "we knew it was the right villa for us as when we first walked in we felt relaxed and at home. We have already had a number of family holidays since the purchase and just love the relaxing feeling as soon as we walk in. Our little boy, James (soon to be a teenage, so not so little anymore) loves playing in the pool and walking to the beach. Our elder boys in their twenties also love the pool and being able to walk to the beach."
What makes this property unique
Agreed by all Casa Caravela is a deceptive property, extremely spacious interior and the most made its hillside location with large terrace on the living area level for you to enjoy the beautiful sea views and panoramic views of the town. Each bedroom has its own private terrace with seating. The pool terrace although compact is functional with space for 6 sunbeds, a great shaded eating area, games room with WC. The villa is just a couple mins walk from the bars, restaurants, minimarts, shops and beach of Carvoeiro as well as the boardwalk.
