    An ideal spot — clean, comfortable, and perfectly located for exploring the Algarve

    The only thing I would change is adding a dryer to go with the washing machine- with a family of five, hanging laundry every day was a bit tough to keep up with. But that was a small thing compared to how amazing everything else was. Highly recommend!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We loved the location — close to everything we wanted to do, like the Benagil Caves, the Seven Hanging Valleys hike, and just a short drive to Albufeira. The apartment itself was spotless, comfortable, and in a quiet village setting. The pool had a nice mix of families, which made it feel welcoming without being crowded. After long days of sightseeing or relaxing at the beach, it was the perfect place to come “home” to. Highly recommend!

    For the paddle tennis there were gaps in the wall where the ball could go through. Location was beautiful however it was about 20minute walk to town it was a nice walk some steep roads, however was difficult when it was very hot. It is very easy to get Ubers.

    The swimming pool was very clean and not busy even during August we were able to get sun loungers. The depth in the shallow end is 1.1m and in the deeper end is 2m it gets deep quite quickly so we stayed in the shallow bit. There was also a children's pool. The paddle tennis was very good too free hire. There was a table where we could sit down and have a break and a drink. The small restaurant near reception had drinks and crisps available, we didnt try the breakfast as we cooked in our kitchen. There were three bedrooms two single beds in two bedrooms and one double in the third. One large bathroom and a wc with a washing machine. Very spacious apartment with plenty of storage. Lovely kitchen fully equipped and easy to use and cook. The balcony had a lovely view with tables and chairs overlooking greenery and the sunset. The sofa had a pull out bed for an extra guest we used this in addition to the sofa as we didnt all fit on the sofa. Large dining table enough for all of us. Very big fridge freezer. Cleaning staff and reception staff were very friendly we had fresh towels daily and apartment was cleaned well. The grounds were very clean and well maintained. We were able to get groceries on uber eats easily as we didnt have a car. A car would be more ideal if you're looking to travel to different places.

    There was nothing we didn't like about Placid Village. Even though it was a bit of a walk to town we didn't mind it at all.

    Very spacious apartment that had everything we needed. The place was clean and comfortable. Staff was helpful especially when we needed a taxi at 5am to get to Lagoa bus station.

    It's a bit farther from downtown, but the walk there is really pleasant and mostly downhill. On the way back, we usually took a taxi.

    The place was very well equipped—even a washing machine, which was a great help during a longer trip. The beds were comfortable, and the breakfast was rich with a wide variety of options. The staff was always available and incredibly helpful. There’s also a swimming pool and a tennis court on site.

    Absolutely outstanding service from all of the staff at placid village. We only needed to stay on night but due to a last minute change of plans we arrived much before our check in time but were looked after right from the moment we arrived. We were able to have breakfast which you normally have to book in advance, make use of all the facilities and have our luggage stored securely. Then they had the room ready for us by 11am (normal check in 4pm). When we arrived in the apartment we could not be happier. It had absolutely everything we needed and was already cool (thank you A/C and much needed in 40° weather). We would happily return to Placid Village and are already considering it for a visit later in the year.

    Can’t say!

    Absolutely beautiful interior and exterior, incredibly spacious and comfortable too. The parking space was a lifesaver, too. So many amenities- a pool, field, tennis court and breakfast area. The host didn’t speak English but was incredibly patient and kind. Loved the attention to detail: They offered ground coffee rather than instant coffee or pods, which was a rare plus! Nowhere else on our vacation did we have access to fresh coffee. They gave separate pool towels, which made our stay so much more comfortable. It seems simple, but not every place we stayed at that had pools offered pool towels, and we had to keep reusing our shower towel soaked with chlorine. Loved the extra consideration.

    This is a lovely place to stay for families or friends. The apartments are spacious and clean. The staff is wonderful and the pool is a great place to relax and cool down. Placid village is about 20min from the town and beach, so it is slightly out of town and the walk back is up a hill. But this is great for getting some exercise in. It is totally worth staying here and we will definitely choose to go back again.

    Wish there was a way to get fresh air in such as a screen on one of the windows. Pool under repair but we knew that.

    Located in a nice quiet neighbourhood. The walk to the town and back was nice and very doable. Nice sunset from deck. Enjoyed the big woodwind overlooking the deck. Also liked the wide array of options for groceries nearby.

    Spacious kitchen, living, dining, and patio areas. Quiet location 20 minutes walk from the center of Carvoeiro. Kind, welcoming staff. The double bed in our bedroom was a bit too firm and staff allowed us to use the "two singles together" bedroom instead.
