We have visited this beautiful Villa twice now and will definately do so again, both with family and friends. All of the kids that have been with us - aged from 2 to 17 - love the place.

Lovely spacious rooms, equiped and furnished to the VERY highest levels. Huge grounds, lovely palms and plants, superb pool and patio areas. Local staff very helpful and attentive.

Owners are very kind and helpful.

The area itself is great and self contained.

We recently had a fantastic stay at Castelo do Mar. The photographs on the website don't do the property justice, it really is a magical place. A beautiful villa set in 2 acres of mature grounds, seperate fenced and gated pool area (very important if you have young kids like us), Castelo do Mar is equiped to the highest standard and is a great place to relax and unwind. Added to this it is within easy walking distance to the restaurants & bars of Carvoeiro, the to 2 local beaches. ..more in the guestbook

From our guestbook:

09.01.08

Wij komen al 17 jaar vrijwel elke Kerstperiode in de Algarve, meestal in Carvoeiro, waar we inmiddels verschillende villa's hebben gehuurd. Sommige huizen bevielen ons zeer goed en anderen wat minder goed. Castello do Mar valt zeker in de eerste categorie. Het is een comfortabel ingerichte villa, met een mooie grote, vrijgelegen tuin met een omheind zwembad (belangrijk als er kleine kinderen mee zijn), een kleine citrusboomgaard en ook grote wilde stukken. Ook vermeldenswaardig is het feit dat 1 van de 3 tweepersoonskamers een eigen opgang met badkamer en dakterras heeft, met uitzicht op de omringende rotskust en op de zee. Als je met meerderen bent kun je daar toch even van wat privacy genieten. Ook in de kerstperiode is Castelo do Mar een uitstekende villa om te huren. Hoewel het water van het zwembad natuurlijk net wat te koud is om in te zwemmen (in de zee kan wel), is het wel vaak heerlijk weer om aan de rand van het zwembad, ... more see our websit

  • The excellent price relation for this villa with the large compound, very private pool and vicinity to the Centianes beach and the village Carvoeiro, almost unique in Carvoeiro, make this offer so very attractive. Our only disadvantage: it is impossible to describe or photograph all the beauty and speciality. Our clients are always taken by surprise, which our new established guestbook will proof. One advise: bookings start very early, it will be better to begin your enquiries soon.
    The villa is avalable againn Christmas 2012 from 17.12.12-2.1.2013 and from 6.4.2013. Please remember: Flights are possible into Faro and Lisbon as well. The drive from Lisbon do the villa is about 280km and very easy on the highway (about 20 Euro toll-fee at the moment).

Fantastic Villa

5 of 5
Submitted: August 31, 2008 Stayed: August 2008
We have just returned from two weeks at this fantastic villa. The house, gardens and pool are superb. Everything is very well equiped. I cannot recommend this place highly enough & we have just booked for next year! It is close enough to walk to small supermarkets,restaurants and the town square.We managed two weeks without a car very easily - even a taxi ride to Slide 'n Splash was only €10 and well worth a visit.

Terrific location for an ideal holiday

Mixed Generations, Glasgow, Scotland.
We had a wonderful holiday at the Castelo Do Mar at the beginning of May. The booking was organised in a friendly and helpful manner and the villa lived up to expectations. The pool was heavenly and safe for my 3 year old grandson. Ideal having the self contained bedroom and bathroom upstairs when there are different generations. The terrace is great for outside meals and BBQ. The local manager was very helpful and friendly. The distance from the town is just right for walking off a meal out. No hesitation in recommending this lovely place.

What a fantastic holiday at Castelo do Mar

This is a beautiful villa in a lovely location with great gardens. Pick your own figs when in season! Great to be able to walk to town and beach so car not needed(but nice to have to go shopping/touring)

The kitchen was so well equipped, everything you could ever need. All the spices and oils etc were a lovely touch.

Eating and sitting outside was a delight as there were tables and seating available in so many areas that you were spoiled for choice!

Great to have Telephone and Internet access available.

Lovely pool and the owners were there the day we arrived and made us so welcome and gave us good tips on good cheap wines!

We spent a magical week at Castelo Do Mar in June 2007. All the pics you see of the villa on the website don't actually do it justice, it really is fabulous. The enclosed pool is a huge plus, if like us you have young kids.
10 mins walk to the restaurants and bars, 5 mins from 2 beaches and a short car journey to many many more it really is ideally located.
We loved our week so much...we're going back for 2 weeks this year. Cant wait!!
