Casa Helena is a grand villa perched on the hillside as you arrive at the entrance to Carvoeiro driving from Lagoa. Its position means it commands superb views over the village from its fabulous glass fronted day room which runs the length of the property. It takes about 10 minutes to walk down to the village centre, with its excellent choice of bars and restaurants, and a few more minutes brings you to Carvoeiro beach. The walk back is up a fairly steep hill, although it is very easy to take a taxi from the town square, should your legs not fancy the walk after a lovely meal and a few glasses of wine! The interior of the house is quite unique and on several levels with a minstrel's gallery overlooking the lounge and giving access to the upstairs bedroom.
The villa is very spacious throughout with all bedrooms en suite and a large lounge and separate day room making it ideal for larger parties. The exterior patio has a superb barbecue and stone table, close to the kitchen and from here a staircase leads down to the walled pool area which can be heated during the cooler months making this an ideal holiday villa at any time during the season.
Approximately 800m from the village centre and 1km from the beach
