Vale da Lapa Village Resort in Carvoeiro.

Vale da Lapa Village Resort commands views across the Algarve coastline from its elevated position above Carvoeiro, with stone architecture that rises organically from the landscape.

The property sits 200 meters above sea level, offering terraced gardens and panoramic vistas toward the Atlantic.

This hotel resort functions as a complete wedding destination, accommodating guests on-site while ceremonies and receptions unfold against coastal backdrops.

The houses have a good shape to host four people. Well equipped kitchen. The whole area is maintained very well. Very friendly staff at reception, restaurant and room service. Good quality of restaurant. We would suggest to keep some basic spices in the kitchen as most visitors come by plane.
