Our group loved the villa. Saturday morning I was afraid I would not get everyone to leave, there was much moaning! Everything was so much more than we expected. It is a stunning villa in a stunning location. The house was in excellent order and lacked for nothing. The house manager was responsive and any issues resolved immediately. We were all amazed at response time to any issues, all which were minor. We were a group of 9 women, ages 65-80 years. (4 climbed to the obelisk 4 days.). 5 of us have been traveling together since we were 16, almost 60 years. This has been the most outstanding vacation house we have had. The weather was perfect, the location of the villa outstanding, the villa itself perfect. Thank you to our host and all the staff for making our stay perfect

Dear Rozanne, Many thanks for taking the time to post your review. I am so pleased you found Casa do Mar perfect for your group and you had also said to me (via email) 'We had a fabulous stay and everyone was really impressed not only with the location but also the spaciousness'. Casa do Mar's location directly on the beach really is incredible and unlike many very other villas is very large and spacious. We hope you can come and stay with us again soon. Kindest regards, Susannah

We loved our stay at Casa Do Mar. Steps from the beach, wonderful outdoor patio, fun pool, easy walk to restaurants, lots of ocean toys to rent nearby. The house has many gathering areas and worked perfectly for our family of 10 (7 adults, 3 children under 6). The hosts were wonderful and very prompt in answering any question. We hope to return To this beautiful place!

Casa do Mar

Our twelve family members found this Casa to be absolutely excellent. We rented it to celebrate our 80th birthday and it suited all of us aged 8 to 80. The position right on the beach with large grounds and not surrounded by other properties suited very well. Plenty of space indoors and out and well fitted.

Amazing house

Hands down an amazing experience from beginning to end. Will and his team went above and beyond to make our stay as convenient and hassle free as possible- always in reach in case of questions or guidance operating for example appliances. Location, view and beach access are unbeatable. Definitely planing for a repeat!

Fantastic Property and Location

Our group of 13 enjoyed a perfect family vacation at Casa do Mar. We have nothing but great things to say about our entire experience at this property. Susannah made every aspect of the process easy and helped us with transportation and a private chef (highly recommended). The location is amazing with great views, beautiful grounds, and walking distance to town for restaurants and shops. We used the pool and beach every day and ate every meal outside. There was plenty of room for our group. The house is well equipped and everything worked perfectly. We highly recommend this property.

Amazing view and amenities!!

We booked this house for the week of our daughter’s wedding. We were a large group with five kids and spouses, the house handled it great! The kitchen is very well stocked for huge crowds like us. We enjoyed the heated pool, access straight out to the beach and pretty sure the ping pong table was used 24/7. We bbq-ed three times and cooked in most days, having gorgeous morning and evening meals on the veranda. It was still chilly enough at night to light a log burning fire place and snuggle in for games, the chopped logs are provided. We could not have enjoyed our stay here more and look forward to returning!

Beachside Paradise

Wow! We cannot imagine a better European beach holiday, and the house was a the highlight and hub for our activities. The house has character, pizazz, history, and charm. And it is private, too. I had to pinch myself daily as I sat in the patio and gazed into the ocean. This house was a treat! The house managers were wonderful. We were blessed to be there.

Wonderful from beginning to end!

As soon as I sent a request for more information about the property the customer service and communication has been amazing. Susannah answered quickly and helpfully all of our requests and went the extra mile numerous times - sorting car hire/transfers etc. Once at the property Will was always on hand with any requests and was very helpful.The property itself is amazing and the location was incredible. To be right on the beach with all the space was just wonderful. A very short walk to all the restaurants and bars was also a bonus. Although we were a small group this time we will definitely be back with a larger group to take full advantage of all the villa has to offer!

Beachfront Villa, Praia de Luz

Casa do Mar is a huge, six bedroomed, perfectly located villa with a large swimming pool and lovely extensive gardens with its own path leading down to the beautiful Praia de Luz beach. We were a party of 5 adults and 5 kids and there was plenty of space to spare both inside the villa and outside on the patio as well as round the pool and the gardens. The villa is full of character and is equipped with everything you need and more. Excellent communication from Susannah made all the pre-holiday arrangements easy and Will was at hand on site when we encountered a minor problem. All in all Casa do Mar is the perfect place to stay for a large party.

Slice of heaven

Simply splendid. Our group of nine, including a small child, baby, grandparents and parents, thoroughly enjoyed our time at Caso do Mar. The villa is immaculate, well equipped, tastefully decorated, extremely comfortable and secure, and offers the best views and beach access in town. You are a stones throw from the promenade and restaurants, and the town boasts some incredible hikes! You’ll feel like royalty staying at the villa- between the lovely pool, manicured exquisite gardens, an abundance of palatial places to play and relax, it’s a little slice of paradise. Susannah was so lovely to work with while planning our stay, Will was a joy to intreract with once at the villa, and Anna- the main house cleaner was so sweet. We highly recommend this villa if you want a no stress, unforgettable, very special holiday vacation in Luz with a group!

First of all, this house is spectacular. We have rented many homes over the years in the US and Europe, and this was at the top of our list. The house itself is huge, but not pretentious. It was really comfortable to gather in the multiple family spaces. The kitchen is well equipped, and even though it was small, the dining spaces were huge so that was not an issue. We used the kitchen table to cook and prep and put our fruits and vegetables, which worked great.There were 10 of us, all adults, and everyone said this vacation was special in no small part because of this beautiful home. The grounds and the oceanfront are spectacular to the point where you could not stop just staring out the windows at the views. The fact that the little town was so walkable and everything you would need is within 5 to 8 minute walk of the house was important to us because we have a family member who is disabled and was easily able to walk to restaurants, coffee, shops, and the gelato shop. The big bonus was having the most gorgeous walking trails literally right outside the door where you could walk straight up to the Bluffs and catch hiking trails that extend from Lagos all the way up to Lisbon. Amazing.The owner and the property managers are terrific very responsive and bringing anything we might need within a day.My only critique would be the house key situation which I have discussed with the owners and they are on top of it. Otherwise, 10 out of 10 and we hope someday to return.

Absolutely Gorgeous Property with an Unforgettable View!

We stayed with two other families, six adults and four teenagers in this amazing property. Pictures are as shown. The property is a bit older but retains its charm and beauty that way. The location is spectacular and we spent every morning and night enjoying the view. House is fully stocked with everything you need. William is responsive during our stay and went WAY out of his way to get us all the supplies we needed. Susannah is a great communicator and we felt well taken care of. It was an amazing trip, even with three days of unexpected rain and wind, it didn’t dimmer the beauty of this wonderful home. None of us wanted to leave. It’s paradise found at the end of the world!

Great comfy villa for large family group

We had a lovely holiday at Casa da Mar. We were 3 generations including 4 grandchildren under 10. The villa is very spacious and comfortable and located in a prime position attached to Praia da Luz beach. It is not a modern, pristine villa without character but this is an essential part of its charm. There is enough space to be able to find a quiet spot for a bit of reading whilst the rest of the family followed more active pursuits. It is well equipped and very clean and the maid services was thorough and flexible. Will was on hand to answer any queries that we had (the cooker was a bit quirky but worked well once it was understood). . The gardens are well maintained with enough space for kicking a football around and the pool is pleasantly warmed via solar heating. It was great to return to P da Luz after 8 years and find that few things had changed. It retains its basic Portuguese charm. We mixed BBQ's at the villa with eating out and restaurants were easily walked to. Overall, I highly recommend Casa da Mar as a family villa for a big party with young children.

PERFECT family getaway

Great beachfront villa. We were a family of 8 adults and a 2 year old. The villa has 3 master suites with ensuite. 3 other bedrooms and 2 additional bathrooms. Very large inside and out. More than enough room for sun and shade outside. 2 living rooms, dining, very good kitchen, laundry. But the location is the deal maker! Great pool, grassy area. Steps to the beach and the lovely town of Luz. Many many restaurtants, 2 good supermarkets. We did go into the Lagos for groceries one day, but it isn't necessary. Luba, the housekeeper, makes sure everything is spotless and in working order. A pool shed had all the beach and pool toys needed. When we didn't dine out, we ate all our meals at the large outdoor dining table, right next to the very nice barbecue (grill). Susannah was a dream to deal with! I could go on and on ...... dreaming of the Algarve and this amazing villa! I can't imagine anyone being disapointed with this rental.

Onvergetelijke tijd gehad

Wat een geweldige tijd hebben we gehad in Casa do Mar. Het contact vooraf was al uiterst plezierig. Omdat we pas laat arriveerden is er gezorgd voor boodschappen, alles keurig ingeruimd in koelkast, kast en fruit op tafel. Subliem! De bedden waren opgemaakt op de manier die we van tevoren hebben afgesproken, alles keurig zelfs met verse bloemen op tafel. En wat was alles super schoon. Wat een unieke locatie op een unieke plek: Prachtige tuin, heel veel ruimte in en om het huis, uitzicht op zee en het strand is op 20 meter achter het huis. En een super zwembad in de tuin. En alsof het nog niet genoeg is, werd er halverwege de week grondig schoon gemaakt, handdoeken vervangen en bloemen ververst. Heel prettig contact met de huismeester. Een absolute aanrader!!
