Avis Gorgeous villa for families with kids, heated & fenced pool, superb views

This was a special holiday to celebrate my 40th birthday with my family, my parents and my sister and her family. We booked it a long, long time ago and it was well worth the wait! Carlos was excellent at communicating with me prior to arrival. He provided details of a taxi company with whom we booked transfers from the airport as well as giving advice about the local area. I agree with Carlos that if you wanted to do any local sightseeing you would need to hire a car. However, as we had young children with us (4 and 6) we didn't think we'd stray too far from the villa so we didn't do so. The villa is on a hill and has a wonderful view but this also means it's about a 20-25 min walk to the town or to the beach. However, there are lots of bikes available and we regularly rode into town to get provisions from the local shops. The villa itself is absolutely fantastic and has everything you could possibly need. It was extremely clean and there is air conditioning in every bedroom as well as the lounge which was very welcome! From a family point of view it is great because it is extremely safe for children. There are electric gates to the property and a lockable glass fence all the way around the pool. It also has its own little playground and some crazy golf holes which were really good for keeping the children entertained in the evenings when the pool was "closed" for the day! All in all we had a wonderful holiday and my family were very impressed with the villa. My four-year-old is asking every day to go on holiday on the aeroplane again.....if only it were that easy! Thank you Carlos for a fabulous holiday and some wonderful memories.

La casa está en un lugar precioso con todas las comodidades que uno pueda necesitar

I can’t recommend this villa highly enough. We were a party of 8 adults and 4 very young children and we all loved the villa. It’s well laid out with relatively evenly sized bedrooms (all with private bathrooms) and great open plan spaces for everyone to convene together. The views are spectacular and the garden perfect for allowing little ones to explore. The pool is heated and there is a well equipped play area to entertain the children. Eating outdoors whilst watching the sun set over the sea was a highlight. Carlos was very approachable and quick to answer all emails. He was on hand on our arrival and departure and was very helpful. A lovely villa in a lovely part of Portugal. Highly recommend and hope to visit again in the future.

We stayed recently and found the villa to be as exceptional as the photos led us to believe. We were grandparents, parents and 2 children and we all enjoyed the heated pool, which was vital as the weather was a little on the cold side!! The views are amazing, and the house is equipped with all every day living amenities to make staying there easy. My only criticism would be is that the kids playground isn't fully fenced in and my kids kept on running up the driveway, but that may be more a function of my kids being naughty! Carlos was very helpful in the lead up to our stay making sure we had high chairs and cots as requested and when we arrived, showing us all the things we needed to know about our stay and where local amenities and attractions were on the (basic) map he provided. We would definitely stay again!

Our party of 11 enjoyed their stay very much. The villa provided excellent facilities for the children aged 3 to 14. The facilities for our disabled grandson were very good the hoists, special bed and walk in shower being added advantages we have not been able to find in other villas we have used. Because our grandson is confined to his wheelchair getting around in the area, which is very hilly was impossible. Fortunately Carlos had helpfully provided a taxi connection which could accommodate a wheelchair,and which was reasonably priced to take us to restaurants and the beach. Because of the surrounding area we still found it necessary to hirer a small car for shopping and to transport some of the rest of the family. One small thing that would have helped us was perhaps a path directly from our grandson's bedroom to the pool to push him in his wheelchair or shower chair. In summary I would say we had an excellent holiday in the villa but because of our particular circumstances with the wheelchair etc found the surrounding area a bit remote and difficult to access.

Had a lovely week in a villa with spectacular views over the lagoon

This villa is fantastic for large groups. There was 9 of us with 6 adults and 3 kids. The views are amazing and the villa itself is well equipped with everything you might need. The owner Carlos is very helpful and was able to assist with any questions we had. If you want luxury with panoramic views and a beautiful beach 5 mins away this is the place for you!

Situated on a hillside this large spacious villa, had fantastic views, a gorgeous pool and great outside play, entertainment and dining areas. Inside the living/dining room has more than enough room for children to play and families to get together. Our only slight disappointment was that a couple of the bathrooms were looking rather 'tired'. We mentioned this to Carlos upon our departure and he assured us he'd look into it. Carlos is delightful and most accommodating. The villa is completely child friendly, this a great family retreat.

The location is very good, we enjoy the swiming pool, the beach, the restorants around ect

Casa lago was everything we wanted it to be. We were a family of 14, 8 adults, 5 children and a baby. The views from all rooms are amazing. The house is extremely well equipped, we wanted for nothing. Even had lots of inflatables for the pool, to which we have added. There are lots of places nearby to eat and plenty of shops, but none within walking distance. The owner was there to greet us, on arrival, and had provided an extensive welcome pack of food. Which we uch appreciated. We did have one or two problems in the house, but Carlos responded by return and sorted the problem out immediately. We would wholeheartedly recommend this property. None of us wanted to leave!
