Lovely Villa Perfect for Young Families

Our little boy loved playing with all the toys at the villa. The salted pool was lovely to cool off in and the terrace with the sunshade was very pretty to sit out on. Great location to walk into Luz (15 mins) and also to get to Burgau, Lagos.

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!!

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.

With its contemporary layout and decor, modern bathroom facilities, large terrace and super swimming pool Casa Lontra ticked all the boxes for our choice of villa. It is situated in a peaceful, pretty, established area of Praia de Luz on a slight incline with beautiful views of the sea and within 15 minutes walking distance from the beach. We had a fab holiday!

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!

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.

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.

Fantastic from begging to end!

Just got back from a brilliant week in Luz with friends and our young families! The villa was super clean, communication throughout was great and it was one of the best equipped properties we’ve stayed in…..sharp knives! (Makes all the difference) The location is lovely with a short drive to the local beach and a choice of so many other beautiful beaches all within 30 mins. Breakfast/lunch/dinner with sea views over the pool were a stunning luxury! The weather was perfect too, cool in the mornings and evenings and then 20-26C each day…and no mosquitoes! Overall an 11 out of 10 holiday! Thank you

October break

Property is fantastic. Pictures online do not let you see how large the house is. Beautifully appointed and laid out. While we had teenagers with us, I could see clearly how well equipped the house would be if we’d been there when the kids were toddlers- everything had been thought of for safety and play time for young kids. Pool heating made the holiday for us- we used the pool daily, even on the rainy day! About a 20 min walk into town. Thank you so much to the management company for checking in on us on day 1 and to Louisa for the mid week clean. We had a great break.

Fantastic experience

We had a wunderful familiy-time (5 adults and one teenager) in Casa Lontra. There house is very spacious, comfortable and extremely well equipped, especially the kitchen. In the beginning, the dish-washer didn´t work, but as soon as we reported it, the problem was resolved as fast as possible. The contact to the owner and the agency was easy, either per email or phone. Thank you Claire and Natasha! The house has a beautiful view to the sea, overlooking some rooftops. The terrace and swimming-pool gave us plenty of place to relax. The surroundings are beautiful. It´s about 15 min walk to the beach/village when you go down, a little more when coming back, but most of the way can be done on roads with little traffic. We had a fantastic time! Claudia

Communication and entry

Lovely property, well equipped, lovely pool set in pleasant and private gardens. Apart from a vague map I am not aware of any information regarding entry other than the villa would be available from 4pm and therefore expected someone waiting to welcome us. Spent ages finding the property. If the name Casa Lontra and been on the property or even the street name and number, this would have helped. We spoke to a resident two doors along from the property who had never heard of Casa Lontra. Also spoke to the odd passer by to no avail. My son daughter and daughter in law spent ages investigating my iPad and there own phones trying look for some means of help. Eventually I took the bull by the horns and walked into two properties the second of which I recognised from your pictures. After about 2 3 hours we eventually found a number in the uk and luckily the call was answered, telling us there was a key safe opposite the door into the villa and giving us the pass code. I am not aware of having received an email with key information regarding access to the property. If however I have missed this please accept my apologies. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Lontra and would recommend it for a holiday! ( Apart from the first 3 hours)

Great House for Families

We had a great time at Casa Lontra. We were surprised upon arriving to see how large it is as the photos do not to it justice at all and I would suggest the owners take new photos and include photos of all the bedrooms. It’s spacious and it really is perfect for families with small children. There were plenty of toys, books, pack n plays, & even an audio monitor if you didn’t bring one. There is a very nice dining room off the living room & the kitchen has most appliances needed to cook there. There was also an assortment of pales and buckets for beach play. The check in process was easy if you follow the instructions & the property managers were easy to reach & responded quickly with our questions. The location is fantastic & is a few minute drive from central Luz and about 15 mins from Lagos. With a few simple changes this rental could be perfect. Upon arriving, we found out that it was bare in terms of the necessities. The toilet rolls were almost empty & there were no extra rolls. There were no paper towels, soap, shampoo or conditioner in the bathrooms & there were no kitchen essentials like salt, pepper or oil. I realize this is a self catering rental but this was probably the most bare rental we have ever rented. It’s nice to have a kitchen & house stocked with at least these kind of essentials. I do give the property managers credit though because when we messaged then they did quickly respond and dropped off paper towels, soap & toilet paper but told us this was an exception so come prepared. The pool was great and really the selling point for us. Be aware though that unless you are there during August you will probably need to pay the $200 fee for heating the pool. We were there in mid-late June and it was too cold for us to swim in so we ended up paying the extra $200. I do think the fee should be broken down into a per day fee rather than a flat fee as it seems odd that a family staying for 4 days pays the same as a family staying for 2 weeks. Also be aware that it takes 48 hours to heat so we were only able to use it for the last three days of our 5 day stay but it was worth it. The only other thing I would recommend is to get softer mattresses. I like firm beds but these were very hard & my son and I ended up sleeping on the couches. Overall though, this a great rental and if the owners make a few changes it would be close to perfect.

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!
