4 Bed Private Villa. Heated 10m pool. Tennis court. 800m to beach. | Villa in Carvoeiro

Casa das Amendoeiras is a large, 4 bedroom private villa on a quiet, secluded and gated plot set off the main road at the end of a private road. It is a truly excellent location for a family holiday, especially for those with young children or teenagers as everything you need is within easy walking distance.
ASPECT: The property is ideal for sun-lovers and shade-lovers alike ! The villa is south facing so the pool and patio areas get the sun all day from early morning to late afternoon although the property also benefits from a large covered and shaded balcony overlooking the pool area and because the property has it's own grounds completely surrounding the villa, there are also lots of shady places to relax on all sides of the property at different times of day.
LOCATION : The property benefits from sweeping, uninterrupted rural countryside views down towards Carvoeiro centre and yet is located just 800m from the centre of Carvoeiro and thus a short 7-10 minute stroll to the main resort beach and all the resort amenities including restaurants, shops, supermarket, pharmacy, bars (many with Sky Sports !) and nightly live evening entertainment during the summer months. There is a lovely play area next to the church at the top of the hill to the left of the beach where you can also join the cliff top ‘boardwalk’ with its spectacular views along the coast and out to sea. Within 5 minutes drive of the property are a range of activities including the world famous "Slide & Splash" water park, 3 golf courses, an outdoor driving range and a 12-court tennis complex with a gym. The location also has a very wide selection and different types of beaches and restaurants to suit all tastes.
REGION : Further afield (within 10-15 minutes drive) the region boasts two Go-Karting tracks, Aqualand, Zoomarine, excellent shopping in Portimao and Guia, and many more activities for children, teens and adults alike. The villa is just a 15 minute drive from the F1 track in Alvor (used for the Portuguese GrandPrix in 2020). And in 40 minutes you can be looking out over the whole of the Algarve from the top of the mountains at Monchique where you can collect your own natural spring water (take your own bottles). During the summer the villa is superbly located for the annual fair at Fatacil, Lagoa and the Medieval Festival at Silves. If sea-exploration is your thing, then you can join the dolphin sea safari or the pirate ship adventure from Praia da Rocha marina, visit the scuba diving centre at Quinta do Paraíso or take fishing trips and catamaran sailing trips from Lagos.
CAR-HIRE, TAXI and TRANSFERS : We are often asked by our guests if they need to hire a car. So here are our thoughts. A car/taxi is only required to get to the villa on arrival/departure or if you want to make trips further afield. Once in the villa, you can walk to the beach, many local restaurants and a small supermarket which stocks plenty of food including fresh bread every day. If this is enough for your group, then car hire is not necessary.
As an alternative to car-hire, there are many taxi companies which you can book on-line in advance, that will take you to the villa from the airport and collect you for your return. We understand that some of our guests have also used Über for both airport runs and local trips which is now freely available across the Algarve.
However, if you prefer flexibility then car-hire is the way to go. There are numerous companies based at the airport and the collection and drop off process is quick and simple. Hiring a car enables you to explore the Algarve, to go to the larger supermarkets, to visit local towns, shopping centres, and other beaches, to take trips to water parks, amusement parks, to play tennis or golf, go-karting or to find local restaurants further afield. Personally, for many of the reasons above, we always hire a car from the airport.
SUPERMARKETS : If you have a car, the best big supermarkets are about a 5-10 minute drive from the Villa on the N124-1 road between Carvoeiro and Lagoa. This includes Intermarché, Apolonia, Aldi and Pingo Doce. There is also a small local supermarket just 2 minutes walk from the villa on the way down to the beach in the small building complex next to the Mama Mia pizza restaurant.
