Our family had the most lovely stay at Casa Lontra. The villa has a beautiful view of the ocean and lots of amenities. The host Claire and the Villa mgmt company are very responsive and were quick to resolve any issues we had while staying at the house. Overall 10/10 and would definitely book again!
This ocean view lovely villa provided ample space for our group of 8 - the pool and patio with shade provided a great place to cool off! Plenty of bathroom and bed space for all! Thank you for a terrific stay in Luz!
Great Villa for families - plenty of space inside and out and a short walk or drive to Luz or Lagos. Villa was clean and the one issue we had during the week was resolved quickly. Would recommend.
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.
Perfect property for a family holiday. Everything you could need is there. The views are stunning in a great quiet location. Having a heated pool made a massive difference. Would definitely recommend.
It was as advertised. Four larger bedrooms. Large living spaces both indoor and out. Well equiped kitchen. Great heated pool. Walking distance (20 mins) to Luz Beach promenade abd restaurants. And, quiet neighborhood.
We had a brilliant stay at this property. Great location. Short walk into Luz,.
The property is very spacious and is in a great location for several golf courses. A walk into Luz didn't take long and there are a range of bars and restaurants. The owner and the managing agent are extremely helpful.
We had a wonderful 5 night break at Claireâs villa. The home was spotless, the pool made it such a a fun break for our children and we all had so much space for time together and time apart!
Conveniently located and with every amenity we needed we will be recommending to others.
Thank you for a beautiful stay.
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!!
Property was spotless, beautiful, the pictures donât do it justice, a group of adults enjoyed, the property is however very family friendly as well. Manager was very prompt with communication
Modern, clean, airy, contemporary and comfortable villa, well appointed with large terrace for dining outside and wonderful swimming pool
Great location, quiet, easy walk of 15 minutes into centre
Helpful management located in the village
Thoughtful note and welcoming bottle of wine from the owners on arrival
Everything one could wish for ...
... but don't tell anyone!!!
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.
This was our second year in this lovely villa.
It doesnât disappoint. Lots of space. Easy walk into town. Great location for golf courses.
I hope itâs not our last visit.
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!
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!
I must say that itâs 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.
We had a really lovely stay. The pool is great our 6 year old daughter loved it.
The rooms were spacious with lots of storage.
The beds were abit hard, could do with changing or mattress covers. Some were very creaky.
Over all though we had a lovely holiday , Thankyou !
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.
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.
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 weâve stayed inâŠ..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 dayâŠand no mosquitoes!
Overall an 11 out of 10 holiday! Thank you
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 weâd 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.
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 didnÂŽt 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.
ItÂŽs 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
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 arenât bad - the parents are a poor excuse!).
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).
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!
