We stayed at Villa Julia as a large family party for 7 nights and we enjoyed our stay very much. Everything you need is there and the setting is breathtaking. It’s a short Uber trip to the beach and some nice restaurants nearby too. The pool area was amazing and we had so much fun and with our children. There are so many places to sit if you want to be in the sun / shade / on the terrace so you can easily find a quiet corner away from the family. Communication was excellent from the owner and the management company. Everything went very smoothly. We will definitely come back.

Hi Sam, Thank you for your very kind review. It is our endeavour to make everyone who visits the villa feel totally at home and provide a stunning backdrop for your holiday. We sincerely would love to see you and your family return in the future. Regards, Jan
Stayed here for 10 days in July and what a super, relaxing 10 days it was!! This was our second visit, having stayed here for 2 weeks at the same time last year. As soon as we walked back through the front door, we felt completely at home.....and some! Everything that you need for that perfect, relaxing break is right there. Everything was immaculate: mind, Isabel the housekeeper is incredible and discreet and such a wonderful asset to the experience of this villa. The pool is amazing - the six of us made plenty use of it throughout our stay. The upstairs seating areas are wonderful - the views are superb. It is close to everything that we wanted and needed; supermarkets, restaurants, beaches. Our only issue? 10 days wasn't enough!! If you're contemplating this wonderful home, don't wait too long to decide to book. Thank you Jan, and the lovely Isabel.

Thanks, Alan; we enjoyed having you and the family at Villa Julia. We appreciate your kind comments.
Villa Julia offers everything you could wish for in a luxury vacation in beautiful Portugal. Every need is catered for. The villa is spacious, homely, well designed and exceptionally equipped and truly comfortable. Beautiful sea views from the upper balconies, and multiple seating areas for privacy if required, overlooking well kept gardens. The villa has outside lighting and an excellent security system. The swimming pool is a bonus which lights up at night. A perfect holiday destination.

Hi Sue, Thank you for your very kind review of Villa Julia. How many years have you been coming now? We are so pleased you still find the villa exceptional, as you know we are always trying to add improvements to people's experiences. Thanks again, Jan
We were lucky enough to enjoy the luxury of Villa Julia with our growing family for a week in June. From the moment we arrived, we found the villa to be perfect in every way. Large bedrooms, 3 of which have ensuite facilities, and a large bathroom right next door to the room that didn't have the ensuite. 360 degree views from the balcony, which wraps around the villa, you can follow the sun during the day. There are separate seating areas, including an upstairs terrace allowing for quiet privacy if needed by different family members. There is an indoor and outdoor dining area, which is shaded allowing for alfresco dinning in complete comfort. The pool and gardens are beautiful too, and very well tended, again with plenty of comfortable seating. A 15 minute walk takes you to down to Praia Da Luz with plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. If you decide to "cook in', this villa provides, everything and more to enable you to cook up a culinary delight for a large group. I have never stayed in such a well equipt rental property. Beautifully maintained, internally and externally. Isabel, the housekeeper, pops in 3 times a week to ensure the villa is kept clean and spotless. A delightful lady, who is incredibly discreet, so as not to disturb your peace. Luz management and the owner of the villa were always on hand should the need arise, which is very rare, as everything has been thought of in advance of your stay. A wonderful place to stay, and would not hesitate in recommending to others. Thank you.

We spent three months this winter at Villa Julia. The villa is lovingly decorated and very comfortable for a short or extended stay. The gardens are carefully maintained and have been created to provide (almost complete) privacy. One adjacent house has upper windows which overlook portions of the pool, but we never saw anyone there. Unlike most villas we have rented, the pool will actually heat up to a comfortable temperature, but it in the winter it took close to 5 days. The primary suite is spacious and very quiet, even when we filled the house with guests. Guests in all 4 bedrooms commented on the comfort of the beds and how well they slept. We had up to 7 people at one time and there was plenty of space and furnishings for everyone, both indoors and out. The kitchen provides everything you could need. Luz is a lovely village, 10 minutes from the bigger city of Lagos, but more charming with a spectacular waterfront, a variety of good restaurants, gorgeous cliff hikes, good grocery stores, a spa, dental and medical facilities; all walking distance from the villa (although it is a 1 mile uphill climb to get back home!). Of course, friendly people: it is Portugal! The best thing about our stay was the owner, Jan. She and her staff went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect. I felt that we became friends over the course of our emailed conversations regarding the rental.
