Charming and quirky, the property was impeccably clean and beautifully maintained by Amelia each day. One of the reasons for choosing this villa was that it is all on one level as one of our party has mobility issues. It might be helpful to note in the descrit

We (3 couples) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa da Figueria. We stayed 3 nights and wish we had booked longer. The house is spacious, well equipped and nicely decorated. The large grounds are beautiful - heated pool, fountain, multiple dining areas and a walking path to enjoy the elaborate landscaping. It was a short walk to the beach and the excellent neighborhood restaurants. The host was very communicative and helpful. We would love to return in the future.

Thanks John, the location is excellent indeed, just a 2 min walk from the beach and a few more min from the town that has several nice restaurants. In addition the walking trail starts right behind the Parque da Praia ("park of the beach") in which Casa da Figueira is located. Hope you and your family will vacation at Casa da Figueira again.

Hi Stephen, indeed, Casa da Figueira is very special and unique as it has been in our family for over half a century. That means that the garden is mature and many of the items in the villa also have a nice history behind them. And of course Amelia keeps Casa da Figueira spotless. Hope to host you again soon, Sophie

Thanks for your feedback. Indeed, Casa da Figueira is just a two min walk from a beautiful large sandy beach and if you want total privacy, spending a day enjoying the large private (and if you want heated) pool is fantastic. I hope you and your family visit Casa da Figueira again in the future!

Thank you so much for vacationing in Casa da Figueira again. I totally agree with you that the winter months are very nice in Casa da Figueira. You have the beach and village almost all for yourself. It is almost always sunny in the Algarve with a mild temperature in the winter, much better then the cold in Northern Europe or North America. Hope you will come again many times!

Thanks! Casa da Figueira's location in the quiet Parque da Praia is indeed perfect. It is a quiet area on the East side of the beach that was developed back in the 1960s. It is only a 2 min walk to the beach and a 5 min walk to great restaurants on the beach promenade as well as a very nice cliff hike to Lagos. Hope you can come again!

Fabulous vacation rental

Absolutely gorgeous, authentic garden beach home. All amenities as advertised. We had a wonderfully relaxing experience steps from the beach, cliff-side hiking/running trails, and the picture perfect town of Luz. We have stayed in many vacation rentals and I dare say Casa da Figueira was our favorite.

Fantastic in every way!

The property is remarkable- perfect location, beautifully maintained gardens, and an amazingly helpful housekeeper. We went over Thanksgiving week and the town of Luz (5 minute walk from house) was ideal - many open restaurants but no crowds. Everyone in our family wants to return.

Another perfect week at Casa Figuera

Our fourth family trip to this perfect holiday oasis. It’s beautiful, near the beach and all amenities. Amelia is simply the best housekeeper, discreet and so helpful if needed and the Casa is kept in perfect order. It’s very rare you will find something so special you keep returning, but, for us, this is the place.

Hi Anne, thank you for your kind review. We love Casa da Figueira's outdoor seating on three sides of the home. It always allows for a nice sunny or shady area no matter the time of the day.

Incredible house with amazing gardens

Sophie's house is a really wonderful oasis and perfect for a relaxing break. Its traditional design is charming with lots of alcoves and quiet corners to relax in. The real attraction is the huge garden that's great to explore and the lovely pool. The house is minutes away from the beach, shops and restaurants. And is a perfect location to explore the Western Algarve.
