Well, what can I say....this villa was amazing!!! We were a party of 6 adults and 2 children and we couldn't have been happier. When we arrived the cleaners were just finishing up as we arrived slightly early. The villa was immaculate and so we're the grounds and the pool. The pool cleaner came whilst we were there and also the gardeners on a few occasions. The pool was beautiful and we also paid to have it heated for our stay which was well worth it as we all needed a cool down from the 30 degree heat we had on some days.

We had one slight issue with the drainage but the agent Amanda was on hand and very helpful. She arrived within 2 hours with the required drainage services and all was rectified.

The layout of the villa was as described and all rooms were very secure with electric shutters and locking patio doors. The villa is very private and is not overlooked by any others. The villa felt very secure and also benefitted from front electric gates and an alarm.

We didn't walk into Luz but I would imagine it would take around 15-20 minutes. We had hire cars and also used Dario Taxi's in the evenings to go for dinner. We also used the BBQ on a few occasions for lunch and dinner. It was very relaxing and great to sit and eat in such lovely surroundings.

Restaurants we would recommend:

Alorro, a lovely Italian in the Baia da Luz complex

Onda Norte, Lagos (lovely meat platters and fish dishes)

Laurencos, Salema (amazing fish restaurant)

Royal Garden Chinese, Luz

We would definitely recommend this property to family and friends and would love to return in the future.

Big thanks to the agent Amanda for always being at the end of the phone and for making the booking process and our stay hassle free and enjoyable!
