Just returned from a wonderful week staying at Vila Nova in Carvoeiro. The apartments are spotlessly clean and roomy with most mod-cons.

We have stayed at Villa Nova for many years, the apartments are beautiful, clean and spacious. The complex is small but Isobel and Annibal, the managers, are very friendly and they welcome us like family every year. The restaurant is exceptional with fresh home made food.

The Vila Nova Apartments in Carvoeiro are very spacious and clean. The pool and excellent restaurant are run by a young couple who also manage the apartments.
