Great location in Carvoeiro
The villa is perfectly located, just a few minutes from the beaches and local life. The kitchen is very well organized and made it easy to prep breakfast. For dinner, we followed a tip and enjoyed dinner at Algarbe restaurant—the food was amazing! Overall, a very relaxing stay.

Best BBQ spot!
We loved the covered barbecue area. Even during the hottest part of the day, it was the perfect place to sit and enjoy a meal by the pool. The villa offers a lot of privacy and the surroundings are very quiet. Carvoeiro is a lovely town with so much to explore.

Perfect for a group of friends
We stayed here with friends and the room setup was great. The master suite is very comfortable, and the extra hidden bed in the second room was a very smart and practical addition for our group. The house was spotless and the BBQ area is excellent for alfresco dining.

Fantastic pool and gardens!
We spent most of our holiday outside! The pool is large and surrounded by beautiful gardens, which gave us a real sense of privacy. We opted to have the pool heated and it was perfect for the kids. The house itself is very cozy and the living room is so bright.
Our week in this property was the highlight of our 3 weeks trip in Portugal and Spain. The house is absolutely beautiful and the host was very responsive and pleasant to deal with. Everything surpassed our expectations. We will most definitely book with them again in the future and recommend to friends.

Spacious villa
Our stay at Villa Solara was absolutely fantastic! The villa is spacious, beautifully decorated, and offers everything needed for a relaxing holiday. The bedrooms were comfortable, and the outdoor area was our favorite part, the heated pool was a great addition, and the barbecue area made our evenings even more special. The location is excellent, just a short drive from stunning beaches and charming restaurants. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Carvoeiro!

Perfect spot
We had an amazing time! The villa offers plenty of space, making it ideal for families or groups. The bedrooms were cozy, and the living areas were bright and welcoming. We especially enjoyed the private pool, which was perfect for cooling off after a day at the beach. The neighborhood is peaceful, yet everything is within easy reach, from supermarkets to fantastic local restaurants. Highly recommend this villa for a stress-free holiday in Carvoeiro!

Lovely!!
Villa Solara exceeded our expectations in every way! The house is well-equipped, clean, and very comfortable. We loved the outdoor space, especially the pool area, which was perfect for relaxing in the sun. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, and the outdoor dining space was a lovely touch. The villa's location is great: close to shops, restaurants, and some of the best beaches in the Algarve. We will definitely be returning!
The villa was very clean and nice to stay in. However, there is a building site directly opposite and while laying by the pool you hear all building noises and have a view of cranes. The road directly outside the villa can also be noisy. If you are hoping for peace and quiet while sitting by pool please take ear plugs. We were not told about the building works and although you get used to the noise, it was a big shock.
