Carvoeiro is a small bustling village in central Algarve nestled in a picturesque bay some 50 kilometres from Faro. It was once a tiny fishing village which has now expanded into a popular tourist resort. There are many bars, shops and restaurants in the centre of the village close to the beach and the residential area has also expanded up over the hill with apartments, townhouses and villas- some with fantastic sea views. The beach in Carvoeiro itself is quite small but there are several fantastic beaches close by including Praia da Marinha and Praia de Centianes. For those looking for a more active holiday, you will find 3 golf courses namely Vale de Pinta, Gramacho and Vale de Milho. The former are surrounded by townhouses, villas and apartments for sale- click on this link for further details
