The lounge leads out onto to a lovely sunny terrace with quality table & chairs, and lovely views over one of the five swimming pools (includes children's pool) within the resort (which are available to all guests) and a small garden. The apartment also includes free WiFi and a digital laptop safe (clients must ensure they have their own insurance to cover contents held).

The apartment lies in a nice secluded spot which is quiet & peaceful and has well maintained gardens with tennis courts 100 metres away.

Simply the best!!

We all agreed that the property was one of the best we've ever been to, and we have been self catering together for many years. The maid service was a great bonus and the fact that the towels and sheets were changed during our stay added to our feeling of we'll being. There was a problem with the shower when we first got there, which was dealt with immediately and was fine after the repair. We were able to walk to many bars and restaurants and to the beach. The pool was just next to the patio area which was brilliant. Altogether, a great holiday, thank you.

10 days in Carvoeiro

Fantastic to be back in Carvoeiro (and back at Michelle's property in Monte Dourado) - visit number 3 to the town and second to this property. Just as we remembered - everything we could wish for in a holiday property with easy access to the pool (which kept both our boys happy)! Thank-you Michelle for being such a great communicative and helpful host. We hope to stay again in Carvoeiro.

Home from home

Absolutely loved the apartment, the photos do not do it justice. All we could wish for and more. Very spacious, even got sky sports channel on the tv. Brilliant location, 5 minutes to shops, restaurants/bars and beach. Lovely pool which was quiet most of the time. Carvoeiro has many restaurants and bars to suit all tastes and budgets. The only reason for giving 4 instead of 5 stars for cleanliness is because none of the corners had been cleaned for a while. Also we didn't get our bedding changed during our stay even though we stayed for 8 nights. Easy communication with owner. We would definitely use the apartment again on our next trip to Carvoeiro. We highly recommend.

A real gem of a place!

Absolutely loved this stunning apartment! It had everything you need and was decorated in a modern fashion with comfortable furniture. The lovely terrace overlooking the pool is a bonus! Rooms are large and with 2 bathrooms, made life easy! Set in a well kept gardened area and just a 5’ walk into the village, which has everything you need. The pool is not heated so takes a bit of getting used to! All in a peaceful setting. What’s not to like?

A wonderful stay

Apartment is so spacious and was spotlessly clean .Photos don’t do it justice, it spacious and so comfortable and well equipped. Everything worked perfectly. The location is perfect and so convenient for shops and restaurants but at same time being quiet. The complex felt very clean and safe. Parking outside the apartment was easy. We often had the pool to ourselves and there were plenty of sun loungers. Can 100% this apartment! Hope to return one day

Casa Lily - Monte Dourado

Fantastic holiday at the Monte Dourado resort in Carvoeiro. This was our second time staying at this great resort and Michelle’s apartment was lovely - modernised to a high standard & very tastefully decorated. It’s situation right by the pool was also great to allow easy access for the kids. Michelle was fantastic to deal with, helping to organise airport transfers for us and ensuring a welcome pack of essentials in the fridge. I would highly recommend considering this apartment if you are looking at Carvoeiro as your holiday destination. We’ll certainly be looking to book again!

Beautiful apartment, kitchen better than I have at home, pool & sunbed's right outside the front door, easy check in. Very close to the beach & restaurants, but far enough away to be very peaceful, Michelle was very helpful with recommending car hire & any other questions we had, would recommend to anyone, only thing to note is that in April the temperature drops from 20 during the day to 14 at night so take warm clothing, all positive & hopefully will be back soon.

Excellent all round.

Carvoeiro is a lovely, small, coastal village/resort with easy access to the large beach. It has many good restaurants and caters for those who like having a drink and lunch al fresco. However, in January, and probably the other winter months, it is quite dead at night, especially in the bars. Michelle's house is furnished to a high standard, with all the facilities anyone could need. The beds are firm but comfortable and the 2 bathrooms are top class. There is a 40" TV and lots of DVD's, as well as a large selection of books. When we arrived (late at night) we were relieved to find the complimentary water, and there was some bread, fruit and other food items which were welcome. On the minus side, without being pedantic, we couldn't get the Sky News channel, and Channel 4 and the Sky Sports channels were erratic: noise interference, etc,. As they use a cable system we told Reception, who said they would fix it but nothing happened. The staff were polite and very friendly (as were the Portugese in general), but a bit amateurish: the bill was incorrect at the end of our stay. They apologised profusely and, after a fairly long wait, corrected it. All in all, I would definitely recommend both the apartment and resort.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Mulroy

Host profile image
We purchased our 'place in the sun' in the beautiful village of Carvoeiro, where we have been visiting for many years. We currently live in the UK but our intention is to eventually retire to Carvoeiro. Though that is some years away, we thought we would share our 'place in the sun' with others so they can also experience and hopefully come to love Carvoeiro and the Algarve like we do.

Why they chose this property

The Carvoeiro Area – Jewel of the Algarve

 Carvoeiro is one of the nicest and best preserved areas of the entire Algarve. The responsible authorities realized in the 1970´s that the natural beauty of this region needed to be preserved and applied rigorous restrictions.
As a result Carvoeiro is now mostly free of large apartment complexes and big hotel high rise buildings, as only permission for two-storey buildings are being granted.
Carvoeiro is a very sought-after holiday destination and a wonderful place for permanent residence. Those who have travelled through the Algarve and other southern European coastal areas appreciate the natural beauty of Carvoeiro and always love to come back….to the jewel of the Algarve.

The apartment is In a fantastic central location and situated in a well respected resort of Monte Dourado, and offers a unique location within walking distance of the village and a view overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

With its private and secluded feeling yet only a few steps from the village and the beach, Monte Dourado is the perfect place for your holiday in the Algarve.

Our guests can enjoy five pool areas, each with a children’s pool. You can play tennis on our two tennis courts or relax with a book from the library in the reception.

The staff speak several languages and are there ready to help make the utmost of your holiday.

Close to the Algarve’s most beautiful and worldwide awarded beaches and within a ten minutes drive you are at two of Algarve’s best Golf courses, namely Vale de Pinta and Quinta do Gramacho.

What makes this property unique

Five minute walk to the centre and beach but in a quiet hillside location. There are lots of places to visit including Lagoa, Ferragudo, Portimao (can take a water taxi from Ferragudo), Alvor, Silves (plus many more) and Zoomarine and Slide and Splash.
