Guestbook for Casa Caracol
"We found the villa ideal for our group of 6, well equipped the pool was lovely with the heating, beautiful gardens & very peacefully. The whole service provided by Alex at villa-in-carvoeiro was much better than the big operators. Any problems were dealt with quickly and without fuss I will use Alex & his team again. Many thanks" I Duke, England
"Everything at the villa was superb, there was nothing we had to by other than food items. It was a holiday we all enjoyed and we would have liked another 3 or 4 days, the restaurants were all very good. Thanks again for your assistance" D O'Neill, Ireland
"Fantastic Villa, didn't need to buy anything apart from food, the maid was thorough and very polite, thought your directions to the Villa were great. Will be looking to book again next year" N Mantle, Wales
