Had a lovely holiday staying at this...

Had a lovely holiday staying at this villa which is described on the website as being 'just a couple of minutes walk away from shops, bars and restaurants, and equally close to the golden sandy beach '. I would just like to comment tha the villa is situated up a very steep hill and the walk to the centre takes around 15/20 minutes. Would still recommend the villa and the lovely town of Carvoeiro but just be aware that its a bit of a killer climbing the steep bank in the miday sun!

This is a lovely property, it is well appointed, has good-size, well furnished rooms and is well maintained and cleaned. However, it suffers from a serious noise problem. It is right at the road side and it is impossible to sleep in either of the fromt bedrooms without having the windows closed, making it impossibly hot inside.
Even if you can ignore the traffic, the owner, who lives in the basement of the building has a dog which prowls their courtyard 24/7. We never saw it go off the premises and, boy, can this dog bark! It goes all night, every night and even if you have all the windows closed - which is clearly going to make it very difficult to sleep - it is so close that it makes sleep almost impossible anyway. The owners seem to be oblivious to the row it makes as we never heard any attempt to keep it quiet.
Carvoeiro is a lovely resort with great beaches and super restaurants but this dog spoilt what could have been a great holiday for us.
