Placid Village

"Fantastic accommodations located centrally for exploring the Algarve. Everyone was friendly and the pool was great to rejuvenate after a busy day of exploring. The only reason I would not give it 5 stars is that it was a struggle sometimes to get the rooms cleaned and to get fresh towels."

"We have just returned from a week at Placid Village as a family of 5 (3 children aged 11months, 5 and 8). We went with friends who have 3 children aged 7,9 and 12. Check in was very quick and easy. There are not many apartments so the pool is never crowded. We always had sunbeds and there were always spare ones. The pool area is immaculate. Pool is a perfect size and the little circular pool is about 2ft deep so it’s great for little ones to splash about in. There’s a small area next to reception that caters for breakfast although we didn’t use this. They do however have drinks in the fridge at a very reasonable price (€2) for all fizzy drinks and large bottles of water. They also sell ice creams. Apartments are big! All very modern and usually the beds are rock hard but these beds were like being in your own. Daily maid service with beds being made, clean towels and bins emptied. They provide towels for by the pool as well as for washing. There’s a washing machine and dishwasher. The kitchen is fully equipped. We walked to the local mini shop which was a 10 minute walk to grab essentials and pool floats etc. then from there it took about 5 more minutes to get down to the centre. Carvoeiro centre is absolutely lovely. Every single restaurant we ate in had incredible food. The area is family friendly, a lovely atmosphere and doesn’t feel too touristy. Highly recommend staying here!"

"I stayed at Placid Village in Carvoeiro from the 7th to the 13th of July with three friends, and we had the most amazing time. We booked a two-bedroom apartment which was lovely, spacious, and spotless. It was cleaned daily, which was such a nice touch and made our stay even more comfortable. The reception staff were incredibly kind and helpful — they allowed us to check in early at no extra cost and assisted us with our bags and any questions we had throughout our stay. Their warm hospitality really stood out. The location was perfect — peaceful yet close to local shops and amenities, with beautiful views all around. It made getting around so easy, and the setting felt both relaxing and scenic. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Myself and the girls had a great time, and I would definitely stay at Placid Village again. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Carvoeiro!"
