Villa with private Pool in walking distance to Carvoeiro

We had a great holiday at the villa. Very clean & everything you need. Everything local. Bars/Resturants & a nice walk to the beach. Cleaners & pool reps where very friendly. You do need a car if your like us and like to get around and visit places. Would i go again. YES.

Really nice villa - plenty of space and really well maintained.

My in-laws came with us and are unable to access upstairs rooms so the ground floor bedroom and bathroom were just perfect. Access is flat and fine for those with walking sticks or a wheelchair.

Large living area, with enough sofa space for at least 8 people, although we spent most of our time at the villa by the pool.

The grounds offer enough space for everyone in the party to lounge around and not feel cramped. The pool, while not Olympic size by any means, is perfect for a quick swim or cooling dip.

The built in barbeque by the patio area is a nice feature and came in very useful - when the wind was in the right direction!

Twin ground floor bedroom are a great size, with big built in wardrobes offering loads of storage space.

The kitchen is well equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and duel fuel cooker and fridge freezer.

The top floor room has access to a sun terrace and has views of the mountains to one side and to the sea the other - although this is in the distance, it is still good to be able to see it!

This double room also has more than enough room with built in storage and the bathroom is just over the corridor - so its as good as en-suite!

The villa is just under a mile from Carvoeiro town centre and takes about 30 minutes to walk to - although it is up hill on the way back! There are a couple of mini supermarkets within 5-10 minutes walk so essentials are close to hand, and the restaurants and bars of Monte Carvoeiro are just 20 minutes walk away.

We didn't have a car and managed to do all we needed to do as Taxis are pretty well priced so local journeys can be catered for in that way, if you are looking to explore further afield then a car would be good (on-site off-road parking is available).

Finally, the maid service and pool cleaning were reliable and very efficient, the maid especially is very friendly and loved to have a quick chat! The agents were equally friendly and any problem that did occur was quickly sorted out with a simple phone call.

All in all - I would highly recommend Casa Marric and look forward to the possibility of returning soon.

Nice clean villa but a car is essential. Had a few issues while we were at the villa but all were sorted quickly by the agent. Although the villa is described as walking distance I think this a little misleading unless you like hiking as it would take at least 40 minutes at a brisk pace and its not flat. With a push-chair and a 2 year old I would say this is impossible. Pool area is fantastic.
