Carvoeiro was also once a fishing village. But unlike the modest and more reserved Salema, Carvoeiro is now known as an international holiday resort. Sunbathers and sportsmen, families with children and lively senior citizens: the small town of around 2,900 inhabitants thrives on tourism and is one of the largest holiday resorts in the Algarve. However, it has managed to retain its Portuguese charm - our Casas de Carvoeiro were designed with this in mind, with spacious, elegant rooms and terraces, attention to detail and sea views. Just a few minutes' walk from the lively centre, they offer retreat and relaxation.
