We stayed from 10th Sept to 24th Sept. The villa had everything we wanted. The accommodation was excellent, fabulous pool and brilliant tennis court. The hosts, Rudi and Kathleen could not have been nicer, extremely helpful and just lovely people. We could walk into Carvoeira in 20 minutes and there were many lovely places to visit nearby. I would highly recommend Vivenda Summertime.

We have been staying in villas in Portugal for quite a few years, and I must say that this is the best we have ever stayed in. The owners, Rudi and Kathleen were great hosts. They hosted a welcome party for us on the first evening, which was a great way to get to know each other. We reciprocated by inviting them to a BBQ on our last night. They were very helpful and couldn't do enough for us, although keeping to their seperate part of the villa unless needed. Everything was very clean and had everything we could ever need for our enjoyment.

We had a wonderful stay in Vivenda Summertime! A family of 14, ages 4 months to 75 years, everybody loved it! Huge pool, tenniscourt, pool table, ping pong table, what else could one want for during their summer holidays with so many people? And the best of all of course were the wonderful meals that Rudy en Kathleen cooked for us - making sure we had absolutely nothing to worry about but our sun tans, books, conversations, etc. Definitely recommended!

We travelled with our extensive family of 17 for a week in this lovely villa (lots of cots etc!) and had a fabulous week here. Rudi and Kathleen are gracious yet unobtrusive owners who cooked 3 evening meals for us, which was a real treat; not only as it meant we didn't have to but they were also absolutely delicious! The villa is in fantastic condition and very well equipped, especially compared to some we've visited. Nothing is too much trouble for Rudi and Kathleen. The court is great, the pool is a great size and the kids loved it, especially the 2 year old in the little round 'baby' pool at one end, but it was also a big enough size for adults to exercise, should they feel the need! The location is great - literally 5 min drive from the centre of Carvoeiro, 10 mins from great beachers. We would definitely recommend this villa.

If you’re looking for a large villa for a Family holiday in Portugal, look no further: “Vivenda Summertime” in Carvoeiro has it all!. Spacious accommodation which they will happily customise to suit your sleeping requirements, all bedrooms having large en suite and A/C. Villa and grounds are immaculate with the friendly, helpful owners living close by.
Villa is situated about 20 mins walk from the centre of town, it's all downhill and a good way to work up an appetite before dinner. All the taxis know this villa and the fare from centre of town is approx. 6 euros.
Villa has a large pool with plenty loungers and space to spread out. There is a full sized tennis court, table tennis table, pool table to keep the kids happy.
The kitchen is a good size with 2 large fridges, there are 2 tables, one inside and the other overlooking the pool, both seat 12 comfortably.
Our party was 6 adults and 6 teenagers. Plenty room for us all and we never felt we were on top of each other.
A great holiday and highly recommended.

We went away with our university friends and our children for one week at the end of May. Rudi and Kathleen were wonderfully generous hosts, who helped make our stay really special. The villa was well stocked, very clean/comfortable and provided a great social space. The pool and the tennis courts were fab and I felt completely safe letting my 3 yr old and 5 yr old wander around. The views from the villa where lovely over a morning coffee and it was a very peaceful end of road property. The nearby village was great for a meal and a few drinks - very friendly. I would defintely recommend this villa and the surrounding bays in May / June for a lovely family holiday. :o)
