About the home

The villa is very spacious - on the ground floor there is the large entrance hall, lounge/diner with patio doors out onto the terrace, a new kitchen/breakfast room. Downstairs there is also a large bedroom with a kingsize bed with patio doors out into the garden. There is a safe in this bedroom. Downstairs is also a bathroom with a 'wet room' style shower unit, a modern wash basin and WC. This downstairs bedroom is ideal for grandparents or for a couple with a small baby, as it has a small adjoining room ideal as a nursery or dressing room.

Upstairs are two twin bedrooms and large single bedroom - with a single bed and a new put-up bed and/or wooden cot. and a second new walk-in style shower room, with a wash basin and loo . A baby bath also available.

The villa was completely refurbished in 2008 and is in excellent condition throughout. Both bathrooms have been refurbished in the last two years and in December 2011 we had a new modern kitchen fitted.

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 built a new patio area out from the lounge with two lockable gates for additional child safety. On the patio is a fixed marble table with modern chairs - which seats 8 guests comfortably. There are plenty of subeds and umbrellas and a kiddie table and chairs. We also have a high chair if required.

The lounge has Satellite TV, a DVD player and a log burning fire. The indoor dining area seats 6/8.

There is air-con and heating throughout the villa making it an all year round comfortable home.

Wireless and static internet is now installed for 2012 season.

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 train from the next village which takes you to Faro and the Spanish border to the East and Lagos in the West. There are also frequent buses from the airport.

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.

The 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.

Guestbook for Casa Sentosa

We had a fabulous holiday thank you. We didn't feel the need to hire a car as we had really just wanted a relaxing holiday and thoroughly enjoyed your lovely pool and bbq. The villa was one of the nicest we've stayed in with everything we needed and more. We have stayed in the Algarve on numerous occasions and this was our second time in Carvoeiro. It was ideal as it suited the needs of us 50+'s and our 20+ kids. I'm sure we'll be back in the future.
Your service has been perfect from start to finish and it has been a pleasure dealing with you.
THE ELRINGTON FAMILY - August 2011


I'd just like to say how simple and straightforward the whole booking process and communication has been. We've never booked a villa before and have thought it would be hard, but now I'm telling everyone to do it!
LINDA PINNELL - August 2011


The spacious villa was the perfect retreat for a family with small children – everything we could have wished for was available including stairgates, dark bedrooms, an excellent quality wooden cot, plastic plates & bowls, pram, toys and most importantly a safe and secure heated pool and good size garden where we could all relax knowing the children could come to no harm. It was defiantly the best villa we’ve ever stayed in and would defiantly recommend it to our family and friends –thanks for the great holiday!
THE LOWTHERS - JUNE 2011


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 & CAROLINE SPARKS Cambridge - MAY 2011


Many thanks for the rental of your wonderful villa. Our family have had a superb holiday mainly due to the facilities the property offers. The pool / terrace area are excellent. We have also enjoyed several BBQ's and it was so nice to relax in such comfortable surroundings. We would definitely consider renting the property again and thank you for the excellent communication.
THE HARRIS FAMILY - August 2010


Thank you for renting us your house, we had a lovely time. The house provided everything we needed and more - perfect for families. The location is perfect with access to lots of towns and beaches in the Algarve. Your recommendations were great and the management company was extremely helpful too. I would recommend it to anyone.
Adelle McDonnell - Ireland - JULY 2010


We have just returned from our holiday in your house, you have a very nice place, we all enjoyed the stay, thank you! The highlight was the very spacious heated swimming pool and plenty of space for the children to play, especially the basket ball area! We visited several beaches close by and enjoyed the beautiful views and music at Algar Seco. We just had a great vacation and hope we are able to come back again.
The Koks Family, Amsterdam.

Very nice villa, everything we could have wanted and in such a lovely area. Will 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 and surprisingly private.
Julie and Family, Nailsea, Bristol

The villa is great, much bigger than it looks, and has lovely gardens - the pool is amazing. Can't fault it - very nice holiday.
Liz Thompson and friends, Leicestershire
