Overview

      View less

      Despite its deserved popularity, the fishing village of Carvoeiro, tucked into a narrow cleft in the Algarve coast, retains much charm – yes, the traditional white-washed houses are now home to souvenir stalls and restaurants, but the atmosphere is still unhurried here. With its stunning pool overlooking the sea, sunny terraces and harmonious cluster of apartments, Algar Seco offers Portuguese hospitality at its best.
