We loved our stay. Access to great beaches very near by. The pool and hot tub were great. Hot tub cover needs to be replaced. Be sure to check out Latitude in Luz for great Tapas.
The property is exactly as pictured on the website. Modern, clean fully private bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. The adjoining 2 bedrooms at pool level are best suited for a family with 2 young children. Complaints of previous reviews regarding the bathrooms not being modern are not justified as they were fine.Comfortable beds, electric shutters that block out the early morning sun were well received. The dining areas were ample for a 10 people. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities required for eating at home. Washer/ dryer worked fine.The pool area was well supplied with chaise longues and shaded area as noted in the pictures. I didn’t use the bbq but it is located at pool levelThe hot tub just outside the master bedroom was not used.Best beach was at Sagras, not to be missed.Communication with management was easy and quickOverall, our family of 7 adults, 2 young children and 2 infants were perfectly comfortable in this home. I would not hesitate to return there again
Communication was fantastic, easy and clear. The house was clean and well laid out for our group. Wifi was adequate for our group. The house is beautiful but some washrooms and outdoor furniture are starting to show their age. Kitchen was not as well appointed as we expected. The overall layout was good but dinnerware, serve-ware, cooking utensils were limited and/or cheap. We made it work but often found ourselves improvising. Burgau and area is stunning and really enjoyed our time there. Overall a great stay.

Wirklich saubere und sehr schöne Villa . Die Betten sind top ! Und alles war absolut ein Traum. Die Kommunikation mit dem Housekeeper Raymond war nett, zuvorkommend und immer zuverlässig. Wir sind rundum zufrieden und haben uns mehr als wohl gefühlt.!!!
The villa is frankly tired and needs to have an overhaul The management agent ( rental agency ) was absolutely dreadful and the owner no where to be found ….but our check in guy Raymond was responsive and good The pool furniture needs to be fully replaced We were without a clothes dryer for a week - no big deal but again shows appliances not being maintained Hob unit needs an overhaul Bedroom sliding windows in one room didn’t lock Water heating capacity means max 3 showers before the system needs to reheat over 7 hours Wouid I book again - absolutely not

Thank you for your review. We are sorry that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations, although we do feel that several of your comments give an unfair impression of the villa and its condition.
The property has had new owners for the past two years, who have made significant investment in the villa. This has included a completely new kitchen with new appliances, new furniture throughout the property, including new outdoor furniture and new linens.
We apologise that the tumble dryer was unavailable for part of your stay. The door latch had been damaged during the previous rental, and unfortunately the replacement part took some time to be delivered.
Regarding the hot water, the villa has a 200-litre hot water tank, which is designed to accommodate a fully occupied villa and has generally proved sufficient. The suggestion that the property can only provide three showers before requiring more than seven hours to reheat does not reflect the normal performance of the system.
We are also surprised by the comments regarding the condition and management of the property. As you mention, Raymond was responsive and available during your stay, and we would always have been happy to investigate and address any concerns reported to us at the time.
We appreciate all constructive feedback and will review the maintenance points raised. However, we do not agree with the overall characterisation of the villa as being neglected or poorly maintained, particularly given the considerable investment and improvements made to the property in recent years.
