Paradise

Wonderful home with a wonderful view. Large, private, villa just up the hill from charming Santa Barbara de Nexe. Only 20 minutes to the Faro area beeches. If you are a cyclist, the rolling hills of Algarve are right outside your door. BTW, a day in Seville is only 2 hours away. We had six adults and 1 teenager and it never felt crowded.

As my taxi driver said, this is the proper Algarve and he wasn't wrong. Isolated but close enough for a 20 minute walk to the local town, we (5 adults 2 children) had a great stay. Everything that we needed was on site and we were only a short drive away from anything else we ran short of. Great that the taxi's recognise the villa, never short of transport. All in all a relaxing and enjoyable break

Wonderful layout and size, so well equipped and a real home-from-home.

We were a party of 9, 6 adults and 3 children with ages ranging from 2 to 8. We have had many villa stays across Europe and beyond and Casa Lucia was, without doubt, one of the best. The layout and size was perfect, meaning we could be together when we needed to be but separate as well. The level of equipment was outstanding from crockery and cutlery to the 3 fridges and 2 barbecues, one gas and one charcoal. The pool was wonderful, large and clean and didn't feel crowded even with all 9 of us in at once. Add to this the sports equipment (including a purpose made mini football pitch) with pool inflatables, balls and buoyancy aids and even buckets and spades to take on trips to the beach and it was more than the full package. Easy access to a couple of restaurants and a supermarket in Santa Barbera as well as larger shops and facilities in Loule meant the location was ideal too. I am only sad that we may not be able to go back as we will be a party of 10 next time and need another bedroom. A memorable week for sure.

Family Holiday

The Villa is superb. The whole family loved the pool and the table tennis. The kitchen inside is very well equipped and it was great to have an outside kitchen. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and there are more than adequate wardrobes , drawers etc., The grounds outside are well kept and there is a grass pitch for football. The roof area is stunning although we didn’t use it very much due to the very hot weather whilst we were there. The dining area outside was used all the time by us. The sitting room is very comfortable and there are various games and books. We all voted it to be one of the best villa we have stayed in. We would definitely love to come back.
