Accommodation
Bedroom, kitchen, bathroom (most probably not to share, although two other bedrooms are available to rent for backpackers, too) and patio. No smoking inside the rooms.
What else ...
Airport transfer included as well as some tour guide activity (if requested). Carvoeiro is still a nice kind of fishing village that saves its charackter over the years. Nonetheless there are quite some nite-life activities offered. It is quite in the middle of the Algarve, so easy trips to Lagos, Silves, Monchique possible. Besides of the direct closeness to the beach / seaside, there might be the chance to use the pool, what is part of a 8-persons villa, that is rented from time to time by the host. It will be an advantage if the "workawayer" loves fish, as we barbeque fresh fish frequently in the eve. A small, very friendly and active dog is living with the family, too.
