Gorgeous, superbly maintained property. This accommodation is a labour of love in every detail by its owners. The beds were very comfortable and made up every day…lovely views out of every window, all fixtures new and work well. The pool is a such a bonus to return to after a hot day of hiking. The breakfasts were superb: fresh squeezed orange juice and a very large assortment of pastries as well as bacon and eggs cooked to order.

Do not hesitate to book this beautiful place! Herman and Luc are absolutely fantastic hosts and are so accommodating and friendly. We really felt at home and everything was terrific…from the homemade breakfast to the heated pool to the immaculate rooms. The Location is gorgeous and there are some amazing local restaurants. The guide to the area that they have personalized is very special and unique! They have put in a lot of work to the property and the experience and it really shows. The bed is also the comfiest we have come across throughout Portugal. We only stayed 2 nights, but if you can stay longer, there is so much to see and experience, but you can also just power down and relax as well. Thank you casa carvalhal!

Immaculate! Beautiful garden. Loved our individual patio area with comfortable seating as well as sun beds. Make good use of the pool. The whole place was quiet, calm and relaxing. Breakfast was tasty, including local and home made produce. The paper bag to take our uneaten bread/pastries was a really nice touch, as was the bath robes in the bedroom.

Most of the breakfast is homemade and baked on the spot which makes it extra tasty and fresh. We stayed during the summer time so we could have our breakfast on the outside terrace which makes it even more pleasant. The hostesses are extremely friendly and you can see they are prowed on the house they've built and the service they provide to the guests. The house has a lot of modern commodities which makes entering and leaving really easy. The swimming pool is amazing

Super friendly owners. Spotlessly clean and probably the best breakfast in Portugal. The day trip suggested by Herman was spot on. Good shower, comfy bed etc. Excellent.

We have been travelling independently worldwide for nearly 60 years and this is one of the very best places where we have ever stayed. Herman and Luc could not have been kinder and more attentive without ever being intrusive. Their breakfasts were delicious and very healthy. Everything about the bedroom was good, the bed, the ensuite, etc. They even had a small blue light in the bathroom so you could find your way in the dark. Very few other hosts pay this sort of attention to detail. When we talked about where we would like to go they were happy to provide us with advice and maps.
