If you rent a serviced apartment or holiday letting in this popular tourist destination you will still see the local fishermen setting out for their daily catch, a reminder of when this town was just a small fishing village.

Carvoeira is a delightful place for a vacation and has plenty to offer from water-sports and outdoor recreation to wonderful architecture and a beautiful natural environment. Praia do Carvoeira, the town’s beach, is hugged by cliffs, offering plenty of shelter, and fringed with some lovely cafes and bars. Here you can enjoy relaxing in the sunshine or hire jet skis or a pedalo and take to the water. The local fishermen also double up as tour guides and many will be happy to take you out on their boats for a scenic tour of the coast and the region’s caves.

A serviced residence or aparthotel in Carvoeira also gives you ideal access to the cliffs which provide some wonderful walks and a chance to take in some historic architecture. Pack up a picnic and take a hike over the cliffs where you will find the ruined walls of the fort of Senhora da Conceicao. This structure was built in the 1600s and houses the Hermitage of Our Lady of Incarnation. The cliffs are also home to Carvoeira’s lighthouse which is also well worth a visit and the views from here are just spectacular.

If you need a little help planning your days then Isango arrange some fantastic holiday tours from dolphin spotting cruises to fishing trips to sightseeing tours and for a truly exhilarating experience why not hire a quad bike from ProRent and enjoy an off road trek through woodlands and over steep terrain with the guidance of professional, experienced staff.

If you are lucky enough to be renting a holiday let or self-catered apartment in Carvoeira in the month of August then why not take a short journey to Lagoa and join in with the festivities of the 10 day long fair, Fatacil.

This region holds many annual fairs and traditional festivals and there is even a Snail Festival in one of the surrounding towns.
