Pestana Palm Gardens

Perched on a sunlit plateau above Vale de Centeanes bay in Carvoeiro, Algarve. Just 200 m down the steps to Vale Centeanes beach and about 1.8 km from the picturesque village centre, with Faro airport roughly 60 km away — a family-friendly aparthotel near golf courses and coastal trails.
