Home description
The villa is very spacious with an entrance hall, large lounge/diner, patio doors out onto the terrace, kitchen, hall, twin bedroom, shower room and study/dressing room on the ground floor. Upstairs is a double bedroom, twin bedroom and large single bedroom, with a single bed and a new put-up bed and a family bathroom.
The villa was completely refurbished in 2008 and is in great condition throughout. The garden is very private and has a larger than average heated pool and plenty of room for sunbeds and a barbecue for al-fresco dining. We recently added a new patio/terrace area to the villa which is ideal for both the summer and out of season.
The upstairs can be closed off out of season, with the twin bedroom and shower room downstairs making it a more compact living space for couples looking for a longer off-season holiday. The lounge has a log burning fire. There is air-con and heating throughout the villa making it an all year round comfortable home.
The villa is only 800 metres walk or drive down into the centre of Carvoeiro, which has an excellent selection of restaurants, bars and shops, open all year round. A Splash and Slide waterpark is only a mile out of town, with Pestana's Gramacho and Pinta Golf Courses only 10 minutes away by car. Carvoeiro is a great little resort with several really nice small beaches, Feragudo, Silves and Lagos to visit if you have a car.
There is a computer in the study area - we use mobile 'pay as you go' internet, which you can purchase locally.

The Algarve / Central Algarve region
Carvoeiro is centrally based on the Algarve, only 40 minutes from Faro Airport but away from any major built up holiday resorts. In the high season the weather is great, with a regular breeze to keep you cool. In the Spring and Autumn the weather is great - perfect for walking, golf and exploring the Algarve. Silves, the original capital of the Algarve, is only 5 miles inland and worth a visit. Ferragudo is a delightful unspoilt fishing village, just ten minutes drive away. Portimao is 5 miles west, a big city with an estuary front walk. There is a Slide and Splash waterpark just outside Carvoeiro and a Sea Life centre at Guia, about 10 miles east. There are loads of small beaches and coves to visit, with cliff walks and cafes. It really is a lovely part of the coast.
Carvoeiro area
In Carvoeiro you'll find a long street absolutely packed with restaurants of all kinds from typical Portuguese to Italian and Chinese! The square near the beach has a nice selection of restaurants, cafes and bars, where you can sit and watch the local fishermen come and go from the beach. The beach is big enough to enjoy some sand in the summer, but not too large to make it a big resort.
How to get there
Regular flights to Faro Airport (only 40 minutes to villa) from Easy Jet, BMI Baby, Ryanair, Monarch, Thomson. We use Algarve Car Hire. There is a regular bus from Faro to Carvoeiro and a train to Portimao, stopping about 5km from Carvoeiro at Estombar.

Guestbook for Casa Sentosa
Very nice villa, everything we could have wanted and in such a lovely area. We we certainly want to go back. Antonio Jimenez, Malaga, Spain
We loved the pool and we walked down to the beach most days. We hadn't been to Portugal before and we thought Carvoeiro was just great. The villa is very luxurious and spacious. Julie Baldwin, Nailsea, Bristol
The villa is very private and has lovely gardens - the pool is amazing. Can't fault it - very nice holiday. Liz Thompson, Leicester
We had a fabulous time, your villa is superb. I think this will be the way forward from now on, it is so relaxing to just dip in and out of the pool whenever you like with no worries about saving sunbeds or anything like that - even in the evenings we popped in for a dip or two. Also what a delight to have so many utensils and plates etc, a real home from home with the extra benefits of sun, pool maids and pool maintanance.
So all in all a wonderful week, lots of barbecues and probably the most chilled holiday in a long time, Clive and Karoline Sparkes, Cambridge
