We had the best time staying here. Location is great and we could easily walk into the town.Communication was very easy, and we were able to check in early.We were 2 families staying here with 4 young children and the pool was perfect- we spent a lot of time enjoying it! It was well equipped with everything we needed and we didnât expect it to be cleaned during our stay! We would love to stay here again :)
What a fabulous villaâŠ.really comfortable and everything as described. Communication was excellent throughout with Gaby. The location is perfect and the area is lovely. Would recommend! A wonderful bonus having the villa cleaned twice ⊠never had this before when booking a villa
Overall a very good stay. One bedroomâs aircon system was broken and a portable system was provided, although this did not cool the room sufficiently. New aircon unit was fitted on the Thursday of our stay. Pool recirc system also tripped out midweek and it was switched back on the Friday afternoon. Alarm went off twice for no apparent reason. All small niggles, without effecting the overall enjoyment of our stay. We have stayed here 4 times now and have always found communication with Rose and David exceptionally easy. The distance from the villa to the centre of Carvoeiro a problem for myself now at 70 however a taxi back up the hill very reasonable at 4 - 7 euros. Overall, lovely villa with spacious grounds, nice pool and table tennis table. All in all, great for a quiet family holiday
We had a lovely time at the villa, it was very well equipped and plenty of room to spread out. We really enjoyed using the pool and having the water heated makes a great difference. The property was really clean and tidy, and we would definitely recommend a stay here. Plenty of good bars and restaurants in the local town- about a 20minute walk.
Lovely Villa with plenty of space both inside and out. Heated pool a real bonus but also many fabulous beaches nearby . Liked Carveiro town . Would come again.

Had the most amazing week in this wonderful villa. Pool was fantastic and the gardens beautiful ,we had everything we needed and carvoreio town was brilliant we loved our holiday and hope to come back soon
Very comfortable house, clean, nice garden and lovely pool! Good contact with manager and owner, very quick responses. A really good holiday home. Carvoeiro is a lovely village and closeby other villages in the Algarve.
Very happy with the villa, wonderful heated pool. Nice private bedrooms, well equipped kitchen and quiet location with nice spacious garden. Housekeeper was fabulous and property manager very responsive and quickly dealt with any minor issues. Highly recommended.
This is a villa that has everything that we want!
Three excellent en-suite bedrooms plus one with a separate bathroom. Comfortable lounge and dining area and a well stocked kitchen with two fridges, plus washing facilities.
There is also a well stocked library which our 17 year old granddaughter took advantage of. Add to this an excellent swimming pool and outdoor area and close proximity to the town, supermarkets and golf and you can see why we are regulars at the villa!
We had a great week at Casa Luessa. It is brilliantly equipped, the pool is lovely and it was perfect for our needs. Having a bathroom for each room was excellent too. We walked to town most evenings and had no problems getting taxis back. Overall a fantastic stay and we will be back!
The villa gave us loads of space both inside and out. My favourite being the outside space, especially the sunsets from the rooftop. Lots of great restaurants a short walk away. We used local taxis for transfers and shopping, otherwise we walked everywhere.
The villa is set in beautiful gardens, surrounded by some spectacular flowers. Excellent sized pool, perfect setting for a holiday.
Spacious villa with great amenities. Plenty of space for 4 adults, bonus of a bathroom each!
The walk to town is about 15 /20 mins, although plenty of taxiâs if you donât want to walk back.?
Had the most glorious time, would highly recommend.
So why do we keep coming back?
1. It is a beautiful villa which is kept immaculately clean by the excellent maid
2. Great position for beaches, golf, water parks, Zoo Marine, supermarkets, restaurants, shopping etc
3. So it is great for families of all ages
4. Heated swimming pool so late night dips
5. Excellent facilities in the villa itself
Would we go again? You bet, as everyone loves it
We enjoyed our stay so much in 2017 that we came again this year.
The villa has everything needed for a great holiday for ten of us including 4 children, 2 of whom were under 3.
The gated pool is particularly good for keeping young children safe.
Having two fridges in the kitchen is also really useful (keeps the wine and beer cool!)
The 4 bedrooms are all air conditioned and the maid keeps the whole villa very clean and changes towels and bedding regularly.
Everybody thoroughly enjoyed their stay and we look forward to visiting again
This is the third time that we have rented this villa - that shows how much we love it.
The facilities are excellent, the villa is immaculate as are the gardens and the pool area (with table tennis table).
Two large fridges and a freezer are particularly useful, and the newly updated bathroom is very nice.
There are excellent restaurants within a couple of minutes drive and three supermarkets within less than ten minutes drive
Carvoeiro is also less than ten minutes drive though parking was more difficult this year.
Our party had grandparents, four further adults and children ranging from 18 months to 12 years old and we all love staying at this villa.
We loved this villa which is set in the outskirts of Carvoiero but still only a very pleasant 20 minute walk into town (and thatâs for the oldies). The pool is fantastic - and a really big. Villa is very well equipped and all the rooms are a very good size. Bathrooms are lovely. It was a delight sitting on the terrace looking at the garden. We ate at the large table there - it was wonderful. All bedrooms have AC which makes for a very good nightâs sleep - temp was reaching 45 in the sun when we were there. My only improvement would be AC in the living room. Would definitely book again.
All our party loved this villa and consider ourselves so lucky to experience staying here. Our only disapointment is that we are unable to book it again next year, as all school holiday dates are already booked!
The villa is well maintained and is surrounded by mature gardens with a large variety of colourful plants and trees. A very peaceful and relaxing setting.
The kitchen is well equipped and it was a bonus having a second fridge iin the utility room along with the washing machine. All the bedrooms were spacious with plenty of storage and comforable beds. The bathrooms are all excellent and there was plenty of hot water.
The outside eating area is lovely and is cool throughout the heat of the day, only catching the setting sun for about an hour at the end of the day..
The 'icing on the cake' is the pool which we had heated even though we were staying in August. Lovely and warm whether we swam early or late. Luxury!The pool inflatables let by previous guests were a bonus.
We were a family of 6, all adults over 18. We really enjoyed the villa in particular the pool, and table tennis. As per listing and previous reviews it is about 15 min walk from the nearest shop and restaurants on the outskirts of the town. We found that fine most of the time - actually prefer the peace and quiet to being in town - but once or twice - in extreme heat, or late night we used Ăber to get home which is very cheap and available. Our group availed of par 3 golf, very close by, plus wine tasting also within 10/15 minutes by Uber.
The villa is lovely. All mod cons, really nice bathrooms in particular. The photos do not do it justice in my opinion. Thank you for everything. The cleaner/pool guy/Manager were all most helpful and attentive without being obtrusive.
Our second visit to Casa Luessa and it was great to be back. Lovely spacious comfortable Villa with all mod cons (coffee machine is a great addition) comfy beds and the refurbished bathrooms are great. The standout feature of this Villa is outside though. The Villa is set in a huge well stocked garden with mature trees, itâs very peaceful. The pool is in a walled enclosure which catches the sun and shelters you from any wind. We had the pool heated as it was April and used the cover when not in use and the temperature was perfect. Itâs really not a bad walk into town, only 20 mins walk to Cafe Fino for a great breakfast and 5 more will get you to the beach, all down hill if you pick the right route and a taxi only costs 5 euros if you donât fancy the hill on the way back. Gaby the property manager was super responsive and the couple of issues we had were resolved super quick. Rose is a great owner with easy communication. Hope weâll be back soon.
So, why do we return year after year?
Answer - the villa completely satisfies our requirements for a great holiday.
Beautifully presented and maintained (love the new bathroom). Great maid and property manager who quickly respond to any issues/requests.
Safe, gated pool which is excellent for all ages.
Located close to supermarkets (5 mins in car) and the same to get to Carvoeiro centre though parking is hit and miss.
Ten minutes to a really good water park, 15 minutes to another and 20-/5 minutes to the excellent Zoomarine.
For golfers Pestana Pinta and Gramacho are a ten to 15 minute drive whilst Silves is less than 20 minutes away. All the three are excellent courses and have staged different Championships eg Portuguese Seniors, Portuguese Womenâs.
Add shopping at the Algarve centre, excellent beaches nearby(eg. Praia Grande which is great for children and has inflatableâs) and it is clear that all ages can be catered for nearby.
We have just returned today and already I am being hassled by the family to book again- what better recommendation can I give ?!
We spent a week here as two families, including 3 teenage boys and a strong willed 9 year old girl! All of us loved the location and villa.
The pool is a fantastic size, and the kids spent hours happily wrestling with the amazing inflatables. The house and garden reflect the space of the pool.
The place is spotless and has everything you need, including some food and wine on arrival, this caring attention to detail made us feel very lucky indeed.
On the first night we witnessed the opening of a rare flower; in the moonlight, on the terrace. It only flowers once a year and so we knew we were in for a treat!
It is a short walk to the town and beach, although a taxi home after would be a good idea if you want to avoid teenage moaning! The local beach was the best one in the area but we did have a fantastic day out at Beliche beach on the west coast, well worth the drive.
Restaurant recommendations were excellent too, and cooking at home was easy due to the well stocked kitchen.
A wonderful place to stay.
What a wonderful villa- beautifully kept and managed. We travelled with our adult children and their partners and enjoyed a week at the villa relaxing and visiting the area. We walked into town a few times getting a taxi back which cost 5 euros per taxi. There were eight of us but easily got two taxis when needed. Some of our group were happy to walk home though at the end of an evening. The villa was in an excellent position- quiet away from the crowds but close enough to everything. We enjoyed sea kayaking from Bengali beach, a super fast speed boat ride to see dolphins out of Lagos and the younger members of our group loved the nearby Slide and Splash park. The bbq was great and the villa equipped for all our needs. The cleaner came on Tuesday and Thursday and kept the place beautifully. The pool guy came during the week to keep that tip top too and we really enjoyed our time lazing around the pool. We paid for the pool to be heated and enjoyed it warm enough to get straight in without initial shock. We took a rental car (9seater) from the airport and found the villa easily. We were gutted to find that the villa is already booked out for our summer holiday period next year, but it is certainly one we would come back to and recommend- a wonderful find so thanks for such a super stay in such a fantastic home from home.
We have just returned from a lovely week at Casa Luessa. The villa is really lovely, spacious and has very generous sized bedrooms, each with their own bathrooms.
The pool area is also a great size and is very secure for young children as it has a gated wall around it.
The villa is so well equipped and literally has everything you need, it was also nice that we arrived to bread, milk and eggs.
Rose was always very informative and great at responding to emails and Gaby (the Manageress) came round on the first day to introduce herself and was always very helpful and responsive to messages.
The villa is in a lovely, quite location, we did need to get taxiâs everywhere though, this was mainly as we had four under 5âs in our party. We walked into Carveiro one evening and it was too far for the little legs! It was also a bit far to walk to the nearest shop. Generally itâs a 15-20 minute walk which is fine but itâs important to note itâs quite far for little ones, especially in the heat so taxiâs are required to get to the shops/beach/restaurants. Itâs about an hour from Faro Airport. Also, bug spray is recommended if you want to enjoy the lovely terrace area during the evenings!
Overall, we all had a lovely time and would definitely recommend Casa Luessa.
Fell in love with the Algarve around 20 years ago during family holidays with the kids. Now they are grown up its our time to enjoy this wonderful location and its brilliant climate. We picked Carvoeiro as it has the perfect balance of being busy but not too busy in peak season and quiet but not too quiet in the depths of winter.
We loved the space, the peace and quiet and the proximity to the bustling village of Carvoeiro. We have tried to upgrade the eco-friendliness of the villa without losing its authentic rustic charm and we hope to continually increase these efforts as funds become available. Solar panels on the roof heat all of the hot water while panels on the garden generate electricity. The external wall insulation and electric shutters lower the need for air-conditioning saving energy and offering a quieter more peaceful sleep. The gardens were created by professionals and a joy to see at any time of year.
