The house is fully air-conditioned. The property is fine for children with a travel cot and a small fenced garden however there is a stone staircase.
We have our grand-children's stair-gates available but we do ask parents to take complete responsibility for their children's welfare. There is a children's pool and play area. Outside: The living room and kitchen have an outside terrace and small private garden while both bedrooms have private balconies, all with furniture.
All rooms have elevated views and none are overlooked by other houses. The shared swimming pool is an excellent size with a lawned area and sunbeds and there are shower and toilet facilities. There is a separate shallow childrens' pool and a play area with swings, etc. (Again, parents must take full responsibility for their children's welfare.) Cleaning / Towels / Linen / Maid service: Bath and beach towels and linen are included and are changed weekly. Other: In the bedrooms each of the beds is extra wide and can be separated for use by four friends . There is an extra folding mattress

It is a less than 2-minute walk to the beach in Carvoeiro.
A 10 minute walk to the cliff-top walking trail.

There are beautiful beaches and harbourside restaurants at Ferraguda (mini-train ride from Carvoiero!) and at Alvor 15 minutes away and at Meia 20 minutes (east of Lagos).

Carvoiero beach and village with a large variety of restaurants, shops and bars with entertainment are a short walk as is the coastal path.
There are three golf courses within a ten minute radius by car.
The mountains and Monchique are a scenic 45km drive and lovely historic Silves with its Moorish Castle is 20km. 20 minutes away is Lagos, a charming small city with a marina and market and miles of beautiful sandy beach.
Within walking distance, Carvoeiro has plenty of shops selling everything from clothes and beachwear to pottery and local crafts. From fresh produce to newspapers and pharmaceuticals. There is an excellent medical centre and several banks and a very helpful tourist information centre. The little supermarkets are very good while the larger InterMarche, 5 minutes along the road back to Lagoa, stocks everything you could want. They all stock fresh milk. There are two more supermarkets in Lagoa itself, along with a great shoe outlet store, banks, coffee shops, etc.
