What a perfect holiday villa in a lovely town by the sea. Having not been away for over 10 years this felt like home from home. We felt very secure in our private villa with a lovely sized pool within the electric gates and even had friendly gecko's as live in security. Sam our host was exceptionally friendly and always on hand if you have any queries. Happily arranged our taxi back to the airport which we wished we had enquired about for when we landed but now we know to do so on our next visit. We look forward to returning very soon.

We were a family of three adults and one child, who stayed at Villa Patio do Covo from the 5th to the 19th June 2021 and were so glad that we had made the effort to get there, despite extra testing, etc. This is the fifth villa that we have stayed in, in Carvoeiro and it is the best. The Villa is in a fantastic location, very close to restaurants and just a short walk to the town centre and beach, yet the villa is also in a quiet position, quite secluded and not overlooked in the pool, patio or courtyard area. Villa Patio is spacious and full of character, with beautiful ensuite bathrooms, comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen and an immaculately kept pool. The view from the roof terrace at night is stunning and the dining area in the courtyard is next to a beautiful lemon tree that kept us supplied with wonderful fruit for our gin and tonics. There were so many wonderful features around this villa and garden that made our stay memorable, but none more so than Sam, the villa manager. Sam was there to welcome us when we arrived and took time to acquaint us with everything we might need to know. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she gave us valuable help with documents when we were leaving. She couldn't have done more for us and is the best Villa manager we have encountered; we cannot thank her enough and would definitely recommend Carr's Villas and hope to return soon.

In 2016 we bought a villa that needed extensive updating as a second home, Carr's Villas was recommended to us for both Property and Project management. We met with Sam and it was obvious that she was extremely well established and knowledgeable about the process of remodelling with a large network of trusted trades at her disposal.Over the next 12 months the property was renovated to a high standard with minimal fuss and completed on time.
We had several conversations about renting our home over the summer months, and Carr's Villas have been exceptional: we were given a full explanation of the process required and realistic projections for revenue and costs. Now we sit back and Carr's Villas does it all for us as Sam takes full control of everything from payments and bookings to meeting clients and filing accounts, and our property is in very safe hands and maintained to her very high standards.
We are happy to recommend Carr’s Villas for property management and rentals: they are reliable, get things done efficiently and never cut corners!

We recently returned from our 4th stay with Carr’s Villas, this time in a new villa. There is always a perfect balance of care and just letting us get on with our break. Sam is reliable, always welcoming and available if you need any assistance. I would recommend without hesitation.

Like a lot of the best things in life we found Carr’s Villas by accident. We have now been coming back to Carvoeiro for seven years using Carr’s Villas every year.
Recently we have stopped at Casa Cassandra and excellent villa if you like easy access to the many restaurants and the beach.Sam‘s eye for detail means the villas are furnished to a high standard with everything a family could need for a relaxing holiday.
We would not hesitate to recommend Carr’s Villas and look forward to our next visit.

August 2020 was the first time I have been to one of Carr’s Villas properties and I had a fantastic week. The villa was very clean and to a high standard. Sam is very thoughtful and helpful, and I will definitely be returning as soon as I can.

I cannot recommend Carr’s Villas highly enough. Sam and her team managed my villa in a truly efficient and professional way for over a decade. They oversaw building works and project management for me and took all bookings and payments for guests ensuring that clients had the best of attention and service. Highly organized, they even completed my annual accounting for me to a standard that I could just give it to the accountant. Renting your second home can be a daunting and stressful commitment but I can truly say that I never worried at all once Carr’s Villas took over because I knew that everything would be taken care of.
