I will be staying in Carvoeiro in September in a rented villa but have no idea where its exact location is!
It is called Vivenda Rosa Dos Ventos.
Can anyone help me as to its whereabouts please?

I think we might need a bit more information - any idea of location eg walking distance of Carvoeiro, on one of the developments (Vale do Milho, Areias dos Moinhos), Alfanzina, Benagil etc

I only know it is within walking distance of Benagil, 1 mile from Praia de Abandeira, 1 1/4 miles from Praia da Marinha and 3 miles from Carvoeiro town centre. Not a lot to go on I know but maybe someone knows in what direction I am heading! i.e in the direction of Rocha Brava perhaps?

It has to be east so yes the direction is towards Rocha Brava. Might be a bit past Benagil

If you triangulate those details

you should be somewhere inland behind Al Bandeira and nowhere near Benagil (if you are closer to Al Bandeira than you are to Marinha, you are at least 2 miles away from Benagil (are you sure we are talking about miles here?). The area we are talking about only has scattered villas and very few points of reference. If I were you I would ask for a detailed map starting from the EN125 International school intersection or you will probably find yourself cruising round dirt tracks and back roads untill you finally decide to give up and go to a hotel.

Hmmmm? "Os Quatro Ventos" is only 200 metres from Benagil on the left hand side on the road from Poço Partido. Just before a restaurant called "Sul ??? Something".

Sure you have the name right?

Mind you, as Gambrinus says - if the villa is a walk from Benagil it sure can't be 1 from Albandeira. Must be near Caramujeira I guess?
