We had a lovely 10 day holiday at Quinta das Casuarinas in September of this year, there were 10 in our group, aged between 2yrs and 59yrs and this villa catered for all our needs . It is large, roomy and well thought out. It was kept spotless by Ascensoa, who was very understanding of our 2 & 3 year olds who kept following her around. We were slightly concerned about the lack of air conditioning but found that the villa was always cool and comfortable, the bedroom fans were really all that was needed even though the weather was high 20’s / low 30’s whilst we were there. The bedrooms are spacious and bed's very comfortable. The kitchen has every gadget you could think of , one of our party is a chef and he was most impressed. The villa owner was very pleasant to communicate with and happily answered my many questions and went out of her way to ensure that our toddlers would be adequately accommodated for with highchairs and gates etc, she also provided me with contact details for a local lady Carla who kindly provided us with some local knowledge whilst we were there’s. This villa is a 10 minute drive out of town, we had a small hire car for 5 persons and the rest used Uber who were very well priced and reliable , we never had to wait more than 10/15 minutes for them to turn up. Although i do believe there is a regular bus service if required. The large pool area is of a high standard with plenty of comfortable recliners and patio furniture , there are several outside seating areas around the villa all with comfortable furniture. Lagos and the surrounding areas are really lovely, it’s worth wandering up through the town back streets where many cafes and hidden gem shops are to be found. There are plenty of bars and restaurants and we found that they are generally of a very good standard and had a wide selection of dishes to choose from. Everyone in our group agreed that they thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily visit again. Quinta das casuarinas is highly recommended.

Many thanks for your review - I am happy we came up to your expectations!
Loved the peacefulness of the villa, secluded but very near to Lagos for grocery shopping and sightseeing. Very easy to find with good communication and directions from Jill the owner. Villa is large so plenty of space for families and the pool was brilliant, lots of fun and cooling in the heat. Loads of useful kitchen equipment for self catering like us and we made use of the various outdoor dining areas which we loved. Overall we had a fab holiday here and thought the Villa to be traditional and comfy so thank you Jill for your great communication with everything.

Many thanks for your review Moira Always a pleasure to have lovely famiies staying at Quinta das Casuarinas!
We stayed as a family of 9 (6 adults & 3 children) at Quinta das Casurinas for 2 weeks in late August. We were so lucky to have booked this villa last October for a family birthday celebration unaware of the pandemic which unfolded 5 months later! Throughout the ensuing months of uncertainty the owner was in constant contact, handling our dilemma over the uncertainty of our travel with patience & great understanding as we only finally decided to go on the very last minute! Our decision to stay here as a family turned out to be the perfect solution as the villa more than fulfilled our requirements. We were able to have a perfect holiday as a family & enjoy the fabulous weather the Algarve is famous for. We all enjoyed the beautiful pool every day & were never short of somewhere to sunbathe or rest in the shade as the grounds of the villa offer so many different areas to explore. The villa had everything (&more) for a perfect family holiday in very uncertain times. We felt very safe and were able to sample a couple of the many seafood restaurants in nearby Lagos in a “COVID-19 safe environment”. Special mention too to the housekeeper Asencao who kept the villa spotlessly clean and was on hand to help us when our car had a puncture & arranged for a garage mechanic to come & remove & repair the tyre for us (the same day!!) We highly recommend Quinta das Casuarinas for the perfect family holiday!!

Write a response Special Hillside Villa, in a perfect location close to Lagos & beautiful beaches Review #55691699 Star Star Star Star Star We stayed for a week in this lovely House. It felt very familiar from the first minute and made us feel welcome. The Landlady was ever so helpful with all our questions before and during our visit, even in these difficult to travel times. All Covid safety regulations were followed on the spot an we felt safe all the time. I can only recommend a visit to Portugal, and if you go, make this house your home.

This house is large, clean and well-stocked. The outside spaces are wonderful: a lawn, several patios, pool, arbor, bougainvillea and lots of beautful potted plants. You also have a view over Lagos and the valley. The owner was extremely accommodating, even sending over a friend to answer questions and explain how things worked. The housekeeper came by every day and was helpful. Owner's reply: We are very happy that you enjoyed your time staying in our house - particularly as you had come all the way from the US, with your extended family, to celebrate your wedding anniversary --- a long way from home! We wish you both many more happy celebrations wherever you may be!
Oh, what a wonderful holiday! This is a fabulous villa, so spacious and well equipped and in a beautiful and tranquil setting. The charming town of Lagos is just 2 miles away, as are the closest beaches, but we often chose to remain at the villa and enjoy a peaceful swim in the large pool. We had a mixed group of adults and children over the two weeks and Jill was so helpful in providing lots of advance information. The daily maid service from the delightful Ascencao, was a great bonus, and the manageress, Gabriela, was very well informed and provided lots of local information and suggestions for day trips. We all fell in love with Quinta das Casuarinas and didn't want to leave!
