We were extremely delighted with this house! It worked perfectly for our family. It felt comfortable and cozy. We used the pool a little bit (still a bit too cool), and it was very nice. The views are incredible - much more panoramic and beautiful than the pictures on the website. Very calming and peaceful on the patio. The management company was awesome too; I felt like I had a lot of questions and requests and they were always dealt with timely and with a great deal of courtesy. Highly recommended and we hope to be back.

This is by far the best villa we have stayed in, in a long while. The villa was clean and tidy, the beds were comfortable, and the pool was warm. It was a really nice touch to be welcomed by a postcard and bottle of wine from the owners. We were visiting with 3 young children, 2yrs, 3yrs and 6yrs and 5 adults. There were plenty of toys, games and books for the children and adults alike, and we loved the little message in the games cupboard from the owners children lol. The management company came by to check everything was ok on two occasions, and they were both lovely and helpful. Although there is a bus route nearby, we did hire a car for half of our stay, which we could park conveniently on the driveway. The kids absolutely loved the pool, and my son (the 2yr old) really progresses with him skill, which was lovely to see. Thank you Claire for a lovely stay in your lovely home.Would definitely recommend

Perfect child friendly villa

We stayed for a week to celebrate a big family birthday. Plenty of space for extended family. Perfect for 1 year old as pool is gated off and selection of toys, books etc provided. Beautiful terrace to enjoy meals on. Good bonus having the heated pool as we stayed in April and would have been too cold otherwise. Good communication with management company before and during our stay. Would definitely stay again.

Amazing house and pool

I must say that it’s much nicer in real life than the photos. Amazing pool (heating worked perfect) and really nice social areas in the house with seaviews. The thing that pulls it down a star was the very hard beds. With better/softer beds this would be a 5 star easily.

Home away from hone

Excellent property and within easy reach of town. Very spacious which is what a family of four need and large bedrooms. 2 en suite and a large family bathroom. Outside space was good and the pool was enjoyed by all. We are returners to Luz and know what to expect and book restaurants in advance so as to avoid disappointment. My only criticism is that we only booked a week and not two!!

Great house for a getaway to Luz!

We had an absolutely amazing time in this property. We were 2 families with 4 children ranging from 6 months to 4. The house was far better than we expected, the photos don't do it justice. There was loads of room and great safe places for the kids to play and for everyone to have space. There were so many toys for the children they were thoroughly entertained and loved playing in the garden and in the pool. We'd definitely recommend staying here!

A lovely villa in a good location.

The villa was well equipped. The bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for a family holiday. Beautiful and comfortable lounge with great views from the terrace which was ideal for outdoor eating. Good pool but beware concrete steps and bottom. We had a few scraped toes. It was let down by the very hard beds and could have been a bit cleaner.

Hi Sally thank you for taking the time to review Casa Lontra. I note your comments and will speak to our Villa Mgt team to address the issues. The house should have been spotless so I will definitely ask them about that. The beds get mixed reviews - some people love them, some find them hard so perhaps I’ll supply some toppers for those who prefer softer beds. I shall also look at the pool. Happy you had a lovely holiday and enjoyed the amazing views. Best wishes Claire .

Great Villa for a family holiday

The villa is really spacious and clean and has everything you need for a family holdiday (from kids cutlery and plastic plate to toys and travel cots). A big plus for us was that the pool was gated (not common in portugal). The outside space is amazing too - big pool and some garden for the kids to play and run around. The location is handy to explore Luz as well as the Western algarve, I would suggest having a rental car as the property is a bit up a hill (especially when with younger kids & pram). The property manager was easily reachable when we had questions and the check in procedure was very easy.

About the host

Hosted by Claire Willmott

Host profile image
The Willmott Family live in the South of England and enjoy looking after our animals which currently include a very naughty cocker spaniel, a greedy black Labrador and the Queen of the house is our wire haired Portuguese Podengo who we rescued from the streets of Portugal a few years ago. We have been visiting the Algarve for more than 15 years. We love it there so much that in 2007 we bought a villa in Luz now called Casa Lontra. After a huge refurbishment, the villa is our favourite place to holiday and we enjoy the local beaches (easy for a lazy day and a bit more sociable) as well as exploring further afield and spending long days on the west coast beaches pretending they can surf and body board (the kids aren’t bad - the parents are a poor excuse!).

Why they chose this property

The sea view sold the house to us - with that view we could look past the old fashioned decor, orange kitchen and dog bath in the garden! We loved the traditional feel of the outside but totally refurbished the inside so it now offers a clean, modern villa which works brilliantly for families (and has room for the grandparents too).

What makes this property unique

The villa has been refurbished and equipped with families in mind with the swimming pool, terrace area and garden all individually fenced so little ones can play safely. In addition, cots, highchairs and children's crockery are all provided. The villa is a short drive from the beach at Luz and the village shops but is in a long established lovely, quiet residential area. The views from the villa are of the sea - what more can we say!
