🏡 Surrounding Area
Casa Rubi is located in a residential area (with occasional passing cars) about 3 km from the center of Carvoeiro — an authentic neighborhood that gives you space to relax, while still offering easy access to beaches, restaurants, and local attractions.
From the house, guests can enjoy beautiful walks through the surrounding streets, where you'll pass impressive homes, lush gardens, forested areas, and even natural gorges. It’s a wonderful area to explore on foot, especially for nature lovers, architecture fans, or anyone who enjoys discovering the Algarve beyond the tourist spots.
🌴 Local Highlights — Everything Within Easy Reach
Stay in the heart of the Algarve coast, perfectly positioned between Carvoeiro and Benagil. From iconic beaches and cliff hikes to local vineyards, charming fishing villages, and historic castles — everything is just a short drive away. You can also order an uber if you don’t have a car.
Casa Rubi is located minutes from the Algarve’s most iconic attractions — Benagil Cave (6 min), the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail (5 min), Praia da Marinha (9 min), and the charming Carvoeiro village (7 min). Explore Algarve’s famous cliff walks, golden beaches, local wineries, and historic landmarks like Silves Castle (18 min) or the Monchique Mountain range (35 min). Within a short drive you’ll also reach Ponta da Piedade, Praia da Luz and Lagos’ beautiful coastline (30–35 min).

✅ Guest Notes
Bedrooms face the garden and all windows are double glazed to ensure quieter rest, though when opened you may hear occasional road noise outdoors — a worthwhile trade-off for being just minutes from beaches, coastal walks, golf, and Carvoeiro centre.

✽ The sofa bed in the living room is best suited for children or one adult.
✽ Up to two children can also sleep in the main en-suite bedroom in a double pull out bed.
