Places to
holiday in the Carvoeiro/Lagoa region
The nice
thing with this area is that a rented holiday villa here does not stop you
enjoying everything there is to see on the coast. There are very good transport
links, and everything is relatively close.
Carvoeiro is a
charming town nestles in a bay, with cliffs on either side. It is a fantastic
base to enjoy the region. For slightly more secluded destinations,
Ferragudo is a
quite fishing village a few miles down the coast, on an un-spoilt beach, and
Sesmarias is in
a conservation area, which prohibits further development, meaning it will retain
its quiet coastal village feel for many years.
Rocha Brava,
whilst being a lively beach resort, has been developed with conservation very
much in mind. The buildings are all single storey, and there are huge amounts of
green open spaces, trees and even an artificial lake. This is an ideal resort
for young families, as there baby sitting facilities and plenty of activities.
Finally, for
those with a fascination in the destinations history and culture, Silves is the
town you are looking for. The remains of the castle are a good starting point
for discovery.
