The villa was pretty much perfect.... amazing sea views and the layout works really well.
Gloria came and cleaned every day (other than the weekend) which did take a bit of getting used to! But she kept the place tidy, recycling minimal, bins emptied, bathrooms clean and towels changed when needed so was very welcome!
The villa itself has three very spacious bedrooms all with built in wardrobes - two have double beds / mattresses, one a twin which we separated for our two boys... all bedrooms have aircon but the living rooms doesnt - it does however have wraparound patio doors so the breeze flows through and therefore is no problem.
The garden is magnificent as is the roof terrace for star gazing at night... if like us you now favour your phone for photos rather than a SLR, take it anyway for star shots! You wont regret it!
The pool was plenty warm enough without optional heating and there was plenty of loungers / seating available.
The villa is superbly situated at the end of the cul de sac so very quiet, but only an 8/9 minute walk to the centre of Carvoeiro - moreso coming back up the hill after cocktails!
The auchan supermarket in Lagoa was the best we found and is around a 15 min drive - but there is a small supermarket on the complex about 5 mins walk which had most things for lunches etc.
Overall, I can't fault this villa - it was beautifully decorated, well laid out, well equipped and perfectly maintained!
