Praia do Carvoeiro to give its full and formal name is a pretty town with a small beach, many varied bars, restaurants and the usual tourist shops. It has managed to avoid the onslaught of high rise concrete apartments and hotels. The vast majority of holiday accommodation is in private villas and low rise small apartment complexes and a few well hidden but high quality hotels. While a car is not essential as the Villa is very close to the town, you will miss exploring some of the more exciting coves along the coast, the nearby castle at Silves, a grilled sardine lunch at Portimao, the mountains of Monchique (and a chicken piri-piri lunch) or the water parks and of course, shopping malls at Guia.
