We had a lovely week at this super villa which is in a quiet and private residential area. The villa is a perfect size for a family and everything you need is provided. It has a welcoming and homely feel making it a very comfortable place to stay. The pool and gardens were spendid. Simon was an excellent host who was easily contacted. I would definitely recommend this lovely holiday property.

Beautiful villa, very clean. Kitchen extremely well equipped with everything you could need. The master bedroom is very spacious with a super king, very comfy bed. Other en suite room upstairs, and 2 twin rooms downstairs all well equipped with plenty of storage and lots of hangers. Pool was lovely, and a great size for a family of 8. Sunbeds could do with an upgrade, but the dining area is lovely.The pool table , table tennis and table football were such a great bonus , and were brilliant for keeping us entertained on a rainy afternoon.Lena, the property manager was excellent- great fast communication, and very helpful when resolving a couple of issues following a power cut. Definitely need to hire a car, as there is not much in walking distance. Alvor is the closest town (15 mins in the car), and is well worth a visit - lovely restaurants , bars and shops. Plenty of supermarkets 10-15 mins drive. Zoo Marine & Splash & Slide are great days out with kids.The 7 Hanging valleys walk along the cliff tops near Benagil was beautiful on a cooler day. Fantastic 2 weeks stay - thank you very much Simon.

Friends Holiday!

This villa was absolutely perfect for us and had everything we needed. Simon was very friendly and accommodating throughout the whole booking process and during our stay. Great peaceful location, not overlooked at all and only a 20-25 minute drive down to some really lovely beaches! Will absolutely be recommending this villa to friends and family!

Amazing private villa with a great pool

We stayed at this villa for 5 nights in August 2023 and everyone had a great time. Our teenagers loved the pool table and wifi of course. The villa is very well maintained, modern, spacious, and has a great pool. We also appreciated the privacy during our stay. Thank you Simon.

Wonderful authentic villa in great location.

Really nice authentic villa in a quiet neighbourhood with excellent proximity to beaches, mountains and attractions. Simon also couldn’t have been cooler… really nice guy! I highly recommend for families or groups looking for a great place to hang out or as a central launching pad to The Algarve. However the VRBO app and platform leaves a lot to be desired per usual. Cheers Simon. Boo VRBO!!

Family Fun

Our family of 2 adults and 3 teens enjoyed our stay at Casa Lucile. The kids loved the pool. There was enough room to spread out. Everything we needed was here. Easy to get to the beach towns. My only advice to the owners would be to invest in blinds or shades. The sun comes up early! Would stay here again.

Impressive Villa

A really good and well-maintained villa. The check-in and communication with Simon went perfectly; he's super friendly. The villa is very well-equipped, and it was thoroughly cleaned and maintained. Everything is as presented in the photos. The location, 'Monte Canelas', is also super calm and quiet, yet close enough to Portimão.

Amazing holiday July 2022

We were a group off 7 persons ( adults , teenagers and little one ). Very good location near to Alvor , but you need a car to visit the area . The house was spotless , stayed 2 weeks and after 1 week new sheets, cleaning off the house . Everything what you needed was available, the pool very clean and nice size . Would recommend to everyone and hope to come again one day

A perfect pad

This house is glorious and has everything. Initially thought the level of amenities couldn't possibly be included in one home, but they can. A swimming pool, table football, pool table and table tennis. The TV room is comfy, there are two dining tables and the showers/bathrooms are clean and warm. You'll need a car for the location but equally you don't really need to leave if you don't want to. If you do leave, there are lots of great little day trips (and the local winery is very cute too). Would strongly recommend

Fabulous

The villa is absolutely gorgeous. It’s got everything you can need from games to kitchen equipment. Loads of space. The pool and outdoor area is fabulous for relaxing, chatting, eating lunch etc. the garden is beautiful and it’s so nice to be surrounded by lovely plants. Booking was smooth, the instructions are great and the place was spotlessly clean. There were several houses under construction around the area, a couple of which did create a lot of noise during the day. This was really unfortunate because we did book this place to relax by a pool, but it’s not something the owner can do anything about. We went out every afternoon but the mornings were somewhat disrupted! Once those closer houses are complete, it would be a tranquil haven, I’m sure.

Thank you for your review Catherine, very fair feedback. We are extremely proud of Casa Lucile, perfect for memorable holidays, great to hear you loved the villa too. Our neighbours tell us work will be completed over the next few weeks. Please come again when everything returns to the usual tranquil environment we (usually) always enjoy.

Fabulous Villa

I have stayed in a fair few villas over the years and this is one of the best ones ! Set in a large plot, plenty of parking up the driveway. Gardens surrounding the villa are mature and offer privacy. I stayed here with my parents and my two grown up kids, so there was plenty of room with the four bedrooms for everyone to have their own space. Fully air conditioned which was needed in the 35 degree heat we had during our stay! Refurbished new Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. Comfortable beds and sofas. I would second the previous reviewer that the front bedrooms do need some darker curtains or blinds to keep out the sun. About a 15 min drive to Alvor which was our favourite as much less rowdy than Portimao! Also sampled the great local restaurants. Simon the owner and Lena the property manager were brilliant to attend to the couple of issues that we had during our stay. We have already booked again for next year!

Many thanks Jo for taking the time to provide this feedback. It’s great to hear that Casa Lucile provided a welcoming home for your enjoyable holiday. We will be ‘upgrading’ the curtains / blinds for the front bedrooms as you have suggested, along with some further enhancements we have planned. Special thanks for all your understanding and positive communication. It was a pleasure to have you and your family as guests and we are delighted that you will be coming again next year.

Country Retreat

My wife and I stayed at this home for four days in May, 2025. A heat wave during the week, but the house was still very comfortable.A lot more house than the two of us needed, but the neighborhood “quietness” was well worth it. At first it seemed a little remote, but we shortly realized it was just a quick 15 minutes to town. A restaurant, cafe and small market are adjacent to the neighborhood for easy and quick access.The grounds are phenomenal with the odors of flowers and the chirping of birds to sooth the soul - no traffic noise, airplanes, or noisy neighbors. I didn’t want to leave the pool area but we had to get out and see the sights. One thing - mosquitos do come out at night so be prepared. We were not so we had to stock up at the store for those late nights on the patio.The house is very well equipped with games, TV’s, books, a pool table, fooseball table and even ping-pong - none of which we used but nice to have them available, There was a beach umbrella and beach bag we utilized for our time at the beach and lots of other practical items we didn’t use but you would if you brought kids along.All in all, the owner is a great communicator and is happy to help with recommendations so I would take advantage if you are new to the area. I would recommend this house as a great “base of operations” for exploring the Western Algarve.
