Casa Linda - Colina Branca, Carvoeiro

Super home in residence with a magnificent view. A rooftop, a terrace and two balconies. Covered parking space. Very well equipped. Only small downside: there are a lot of woodlice in the surrounding area, so there are bound to be a few creeping inside - not a nuisance, but worth knowing. It would be nice to have an extra heater on chilly evenings.

SEP 2023. We had an amazing time ! The house is spacious, clean and comfortable. Having all the terraces options + the pool for outdoor space was really nice. The beach, pharmacy, bakery, mini supermarket are all super close. Susie was responsive and answered all our questions. Check in and check out were super easy. Overall a great spot for some relaxing vacations!

Jul 2022. Very nice location! Close to the centre and the sea, calm and quiet! We had a very pleasant stay! Thank you very much!

AUG 2021. Functional accommodation with a beautiful view, well located, 5 minutes walk from the town centre and the beach.

JULY 2021. Great house with carport. Bedrooms are 1 floor down so they are always cool and an air conditioner is not necessary. House is a bit smaller than expected but big enough. Also a good balcony. House has everything you need, including washing machine and all other equipment. Location is nice but is on a hill. Meaning that you have to walk down a bit and then walk up again. Susie is very nice, flexible and almost always available. 1 disadvantage may be that you hear many seagulls in the early morning, they could wake you up. For the rest we had a great 10 days.

JULY 2021. We had a wonderful week in Carvoeiro in Susie's flat. The accommodation is very well located (7'/8' walk to the beach and shops), well equipped (2 shower rooms, washing machine, wifi...) and offers a wonderful view of the village from the terrace and the roof-top. Carvoeiro is a pleasant village from which it is easy to discover this part of the Algarve (Silves, Albufeira, Lagos, Portimao, Monchique...)

Great accommodation on 3 levels, cool bedrooms even in high temperatures, nice balconies for alfresco dining including a roof terrace. Easy access to a stunning part of the Algarve coastline, including beautiful beaches, caves and coves, and walks between them.

Lovely little house with amazing view over Carvoeiro, fully equipped with everything you need incl. beach towels and sun umbrellas. There are two terraces from which you can see the ocean. Comfortable beds even for tall people. Communication with host was easy and she responded very fast. We really enjoyed our stay here :)

Comfortable house with stunning view and perfect location.
We stayed in Calina Branca townhouse No. 23 which we found extremely comfortable and well located. It stands on one of the hills of the beautiful Carvoeiro valley and boasts a stunning view over the village and the sea, while at only 5 mins walk from the main street (plenty of shops and restaurants) and a 7-10 minutes walk from the beach. The parking slot right at the entrance is very practical: with a car, big supermarkets are only a 5 minute drive and there are several beach options within a 15 minutes radius.
The townhouse is fully equipped and was immaculately clean when we arrived (check-in/out is easy and contactless). The terrace is superb and we strongly recommend enjoying meals with the seaview and together with the singing of seagulls and swallows. While the architecture of the townhouse provides most of the cooling, having AC in all rooms is a real treat.
Despite being a very relaxed place, Carvoeiro offers several sea-related activities, of which visiting the caves by boat is a must.
It was reassuring to see that life in Algarve resumed under the current sanitary restrictions. We felt safe and relaxed as all businesses and other tourists are following the rules and taking all the necessary precautions.
We had a fantastic experience and fully recommend this place - many thanks to the hosts and to Susie who kindly arranged a baby cot for our little girl.

Very pleasant stay in Carvoeiro. Very clean and well equipped house with a nice sea view. Beach, shops and restaurants within walking distance.

Thank you we all enjoyed our week in Carvoeiro. Spacious, clean, great sea views, great location for beach and restaurants. We stayed in no.23 and the hill/steps down to town are very manageable - obviously that depends on your mobility but we were all fine (& one of us was 6 months pregnant, to give you an indication). The shared pool is bigger than we thought.

We spent nearly 3 weeks in the Colina Branca residence and we will have a great memory of it! The apartment is ideal: very well decorated and equipped, and most of the terraces with a sea view. The pool is huge! The sea and also all the mini-markets, bars and restaurants are 600m away, it's great to go everywhere on foot! A plus for the cleanliness of the accommodation: towels and sheets have been washed twice and the entire house too! A real holiday! Carvoeiro is a very nice little town with superb traditional roads and is ideally located to discover the Algarve! We highly recommend Susie's rental.

Great apartment, very well equipped for self catering. Short walk to the town and shops - highly recommend using UBER’s to get around so easy. Very hilly which we didn’t mind to walk up each day. Very chilled and had a great stay. Couldn’t find the bbq. Pool area is ok.

Nice sea view, location near the beach, beautiful village on the coast.

This is a traditional villa with all the amenities ,very near the town, some steep steps to contend with ,but you take your time and this becomes part of your daily exercise . Lots of hot water, bath and shower, lovely lounge. One or two little things could be updated but this won't detract from your stay. The position is perfect ,lots of cafés and restaurants nearby. We had to travel around a lot ,taxis can be expensive, UBER rates were very good.

We'll be back. This townhouse is lovely. Ideally placed for walking into Carvoeiro with all it's restaurants,shops and bars. The house is very well equipped and beautifully clean. The swimmng pool is close by and can be seen from the terrace which gets the sun all day. We were there on the first chilly night and were provided with a radiator so that we weren't cold for long. We wouldn't hesitate to rent this house again.

The accommodation is in a brilliant location, a few minutes walk from the town square with bars and restaurants but far enough out to be peaceful. The evening views towards the sea from the balcony are lovely. The pool at the complex is a great size with plenty of beds and umbrellas. Carvoeiro is a small resort but has everything you could need for your holiday. The beaches in the local area are beautiful with crystal clear water.

Lovely House with loads of traditional features. Cannot fault this place. You need to be fit for the steps !!!

The townhouse was lovely, very quirky with the bedrooms downstairs and both with a little balcony. The twin bedroom also had a small shower and toilet which we hadn’t realised. Views over Carvoeiro from the main balcony of the accommodation were wonderful and it was perfectly located - though I should mention there were a lot of steps to reach it (or via a steep hill) so I would not recommend for those not so good on their feet. There was a very helpful manual in the apartment covering everything you could think of both to do with the accommodation and the town. Susie was a great host from start to finish and always responded very quick. We loved our stay and would highly recommend our host Susie.

Our group of 4 really enjoyed our stay! The apartment is spacious and well appointed. Beautiful sunset view from the main patio! Easy to walk into town, the beach and the pool.

The view from villa is amazing - from all rooms. All rooms were extremely clean and very well equipped especially kitchen. Nice terrace and top terrace. Good quiet location 5 minutes from beach - really 5 minutes ! It was our the best family vacation ever ! Villa was perfect very very clean and equipped in all what I can imagine. I wish to come back during summer time with friends....

Totally spoiled in this beautiful house situated overlooking Carvoeiro. Fantastic amenities throughout a real home from home with private parking for our hire car with use of the communal pool. Local amenities can provide whatever type of holiday you are looking for self catering or eating out. local markets, short drive to supermarkets and plenty of choice for eating out. Host always available to answer questions. Great base for exploring the surrounding area.

Excellent accommodation. Second time here. House is a home from home , everything you require . Pool very quiet , most days we had it to ourselves . Love Colina Branca .Highly recommend this property.

We (4 people) stayed in the beautiful apartment in Colina Branca. The place offers everything you need (dish washer, washing machine, dryer, soap, towels, coffee machine, plenty of dishes,...) and has two terraces with a spectacular view over Carvoeiro. We really enjoyed the breakfast on the terrace looking at the see. The pool is big and nice but few stairs away. For us it was no problem because we don't mind a little walk. Since the apartments are located on a hill you have to walk a little bit until you are at the beach (5-10 minutes). Communication with Susan is very easy, because she answers fast. If you need anything you get a quick help (for example we couldn't find the hair dryer and she immediately brought us one). Also cleaning once to twice a week is included which is very comfortable. We really recommend the apartment and want to come back to Colina Branca.

Spotlessly clean, very comfortable stay. I'm just back from a 9 night stay in Susie's 2 bedroom townhouse in Colina Branca. It was impeccably clean and very comfortable, loads of hot water, towels, sun umbrellas etc for myself, husband, 2 kids and parents. The bedrooms were plenty big for sharing as we had our two children in with us on a pull out bed and cot. The pool area was also spotless and we enjoyed many an afternoon on the well-kept sun loungers. One consideration (not necessarily a negative) is the extremely steep hill from the town up to the townhouses - it is perfectly manageable for any active person but could be a problem if you had mobility issues. Having said that, the house was very close to the beach and main square so was worth it for me (and taxis are very affordable if you didn't have a car)! Would have absolutely no problems in recommending Susie's townhouse and would look forward to staying again in future.

Lovely house within easy walking distance of the small and vibrant town of Carvoeiro. The view from the house over the town and the sea was lovely. The house itself was a great size and the facilities were excellent, the kids especially liked having WiFi. The shared pool was a short walk from the house and even in peak season never felt crowded. The house was fully cleaned half way through our holiday by a lovely lady. Overall, great accommodation in a great location with great facilities and service. Would definitely return and would recommend to anyone looking for a holiday in this part of the Algarve. Thanks for everything. We may well be back next year.

The property description was spot on - well written guidance notes in property which covered every aspect of stay, i.e. whether it places to visit or recommended eating places. Also guides with respect to all appliances within property and how to operate were clear and detailed and all emergency telephone numbers were to hand. No problem with following guide for internet. Property well maintained and clean. Out and about in car visited most places wthin 20 minute radius and had some very nice lunches/evening meals. Only thing that found resort had monopoly on was prices on sun beds at 17 euros - thought very expensive but however only used for one day so not really a problem, Would recommend to friends.

Very nice and well equipped apartment with a wonderful view over Carvoeiro and the Atlantic Ocean - The location is close to everything. We loved our stay here, and would not hesitate to rent this apartment for a future holidays in Portugal.

Hello Susie, we had an excellent stay in the Algarve. I wanted to thank you for the quality of your accommodation and information that you have given us in the handbook. The House of Colina Branca is really very nice and I will contact you for a further stay to learn more about this beautiful region.   Sincerely

Our vacation in Colina Branca, Carvoeiro was fabulous. We were very satisfied! It was a great house and the algarve is beautiful.  Thank you very much for everything, we had a great vacation.

Prime location, excellent facilities, very clean and well maintained, very easy to find, great terrace (s), location great (about 7 min walk), price absolutely top!! We would absolutely recommend this holiday home and will book our next stay in Carvoeiro in this house again :=)))))))))

We returned to France without any problem. We want to congratulate you for the benefit of the House, everything was perfect.This is a very clean, complete, practical, nice view, comfortable house. We thank you. We wish you a good season 2012.

Magnificent location with a superb sea view, ideal for 4 persons, spacious rooms, two beautiful bathrooms, well equipped kitchen and lounge, a covered terrace with sea view for eating meals and a terrace on the roof. Very close to the town centre and the beach, there is a large communal pool with parasols and sunbeds. Also a cleaning lady several times in the week to renew the sheets and towels. (Thanks to the nice person who worked for us!) The region is superb, this rental is recommended.

Thanks to Suzie and her colleagues, we spent a great week. The house was absolutely perfect, very very clean with maid service and change of bed linen during the week. The house was very well equipped, kitchen full of beautiful dishes. A lot of comfort, decorated with care and taste, a terrace with a magnificent view of the sea. Very calm residence, great communal pool, clean, sun loungers and umbrellas available. In short a corner of paradise with beautiful beaches. Thanks for everything, Suzie, I hope that we can return.

Colina Branca is a small development of townhouses, and a perfect choice for a family holiday. We stayed in a 2/3 bedroom townhouse which slept 5 people comfortably. The lounge/dining area was furnished very well in Portuguese style and the patio doors opened onto a very spacious sun terrace which included sun loungers and patio furniture. There was a further rooftop sun terrace which was also very spacious and perfect for fantastic views of Carvoeiro. The kitchen was very well equipped even ice packs in the freezer and cool bag to use. The bedrooms were very comfortable each with small private sun terraces. The communal pool area was superb with lots of sun loungers and sun umbrellas. The village/beach is no more than 10 minutes walk from the complex, and you are made very welcome by the locals in all the cafe bars/shops and restaurants. We will certainly be returning to Colina Branca. Thank you.
