Carvoeiro is a bustling little town (former fishing village) with about eighty restaurants and bars, no major nightlife in the way of clubs, but plenty going on at the various bars. There is a lovely sandy beach and safe swimming in the sea. Small supermarket is about 1 minute walk from the apartment, and there is parking outside the apartments.

It is comfortable for 4 adults (providing two of them are willing to share the same bed). In the area (car/bus ride) there are several water parks, zoos, theme parks and some lovely villages which are definitely worth exploring if you are into "old" Portugal. The local wine is very good and the food is excellent.
