We were a party of 9, 6 adults and 3 children with ages ranging from 2 to 8. We have had many villa stays across Europe and beyond and Casa Lucia was, without doubt, one of the best. The layout and size was perfect, meaning we could be together when we needed to be but separate as well. The level of equipment was outstanding from crockery and cutlery to the 3 fridges and 2 barbecues, one gas and one charcoal. The pool was wonderful, large and clean and didn't feel crowded even with all 9 of us in at once. Add to this the sports equipment (including a purpose made mini football pitch) with pool inflatables, balls and buoyancy aids and even buckets and spades to take on trips to the beach and it was more than the full package. Easy access to a couple of restaurants and a supermarket in Santa Barbera as well as larger shops and facilities in Loule meant the location was ideal too. I am only sad that we may not be able to go back as we will be a party of 10 next time and need another bedroom. A memorable week for sure.
