About this property

Family Friendly Accommodation with Private, Heated Pool and Sea Views

Casa Lontra sleeps eight people (4 bedrooms) and has its own swimming pool which can be heated on request and wonderful sea views. The villa is located in the established and peaceful area of Luz Parque and is 1.5km from the beach and village. The villa is a light and breezy home with two wonderful terrace areas. The terrace area around the swimming pool can be secured enabling little ones to play safely in the garden or on the main terrace. There is plenty of Baby/toddler equipment to borrow along with toys and books for all ages. There are many golf courses within a half hour drive of the villa, and even more if you are happy to go further afield. Please note central heating is not included as it is not necessary in the summer. It can be added as an extra.

Home away from hone
Excellent property and within easy reach of town. Very spacious which is what a family of four need and large bedrooms. 2 en suite and a large family bathroom. Outside space was good and the pool was enjoyed by all. We are returners to Luz and know what to expect and book restaurants in advance so as to avoid disappointment. My only criticism is that we only booked a week and not two!!

Perfect child friendly villa
We stayed for a week to celebrate a big family birthday. Plenty of space for extended family. Perfect for 1 year old as pool is gated off and selection of toys, books etc provided. Beautiful terrace to enjoy meals on. Good bonus having the heated pool as we stayed in April and would have been too cold otherwise. Good communication with management company before and during our stay. Would definitely stay again.

Super
We waren er eind april. Verwarmd zwembad was echt lekker warm waardoor de kinderen veel hebben gezwommen. Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien en zeer ruim. Ligging van het huisje is super. Qua zon en wind maar ook qua activiteiten in de buurt die je er kunt doen. Voor jong en oud. Aanrader. We komen graag een keer terug.

Great house for a getaway to Luz!
We had an absolutely amazing time in this property. We were 2 families with 4 children ranging from 6 months to 4. The house was far better than we expected, the photos don't do it justice. There was loads of room and great safe places for the kids to play and for everyone to have space. There were so many toys for the children they were thoroughly entertained and loved playing in the garden and in the pool. We'd definitely recommend staying here!

Wundervolle Ferien in traumhaftem Haus
Das Haus war traumhaft! Tolle Aufteilung, sehr sauber, gemütlich aber schick eingerichtet. Der Kontakt mit der Agentur lief reibungslos. Die Kinder (3 und 7) haben sich sehr über das massig vorhandene Spielzeug (sowohl für Haus als auch Pool und Strand) gefreut. Der Pool inklusive Heizung hat Kinder, Eltern und auch Großeltern begeistert. Kurzum: das Haus ist nicht nur wunderschön, es hat auch alles was man braucht oder brauchen könnte. (sehr vielfältige Küchenausstattung). Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Wonderful bright and modern villa
With its contemporary layout and decor, modern bathroom facilities, large terrace and super swimming pool Casa Lontra ticked all the boxes for our choice of villa. It is situated in a peaceful, pretty, established area of Praia de Luz on a slight incline with beautiful views of the sea and within 15 minutes walking distance from the beach. We had a fab holiday!

Le jardin est idéalement disposé sans aucun vis à vis, et la piscine était parfaite pour nous rafraîchir. Seul petit bémol, la climatisation manquantedans les chambres lorsque comme nous vous avez des températures qui dépassent les 40°. Superbe villa familiale, à refaire

Schönes Ferienhaus, welches mit großem Pool und Aussicht glänzt
Wir haben den Aufenthalt genossen, insbesondere den großen, beheizbaren Pool und die tolle Aussicht auf das Meer von fast jedem Zimmer. Es ist genug Platz für acht Personen. Wir waren zwei Familien mit jew. zwei Kindern. Toll war auch, dass im Flur eine Kiste steht mit Sandspielzeug und Schwimmringen steht. Man kann zu Fuß, in das Städtchen laufen. Die Straße, in der das Haus steht, ist eine sehr ruhige Straße. Von den Nachbarn haben wir eigentlich gar nichts mitbekommen. Vielleicht ist das in der Hauptsaison anders. Der Strand in Luz ist traumhaft schön. Mit dem Mietwagen haben wir von Luz aus viele Dinge besichtigen können. Der Kontakt mit der Agentur und auch mit der Besitzerin Claire war immer toll. Uns war nicht klar, dass zwischendurch so oft die Handtücher / Bettzeug gewechselt werden und auch geputzt wird. Toller Service!!! In dem Gästebuch stand als Empfehlung, dass man zehn Euro/Person als Tip dem House-Keeper hinterlassen könne (=80Eur) Das ist schon ein ordentliches zum Sümmchen, zumal man ja bereits die Endreinigung mit bezahlt hat. Trotzdem toller Service. Das einzige „negative“ wäre vielleicht, dass die Außenanlagen etwas vernachlässigt waren (staubig, sandig, Spinnweben) wir haben an einem Tag selbst alles abgespritzt, Poolbereich, Liegen,… Wir würden das Haus aber insgesamt sehr empfehlen.

Amazing house and pool
I must say that it’s much nicer in real life than the photos. Amazing pool (heating worked perfect) and really nice social areas in the house with seaviews. The thing that pulls it down a star was the very hard beds. With better/softer beds this would be a 5 star easily.

Fantastic from begging to end!
Just got back from a brilliant week in Luz with friends and our young families! The villa was super clean, communication throughout was great and it was one of the best equipped properties we’ve stayed in…..sharp knives! (Makes all the difference) The location is lovely with a short drive to the local beach and a choice of so many other beautiful beaches all within 30 mins. Breakfast/lunch/dinner with sea views over the pool were a stunning luxury! The weather was perfect too, cool in the mornings and evenings and then 20-26C each day…and no mosquitoes! Overall an 11 out of 10 holiday! Thank you

October break
Property is fantastic. Pictures online do not let you see how large the house is. Beautifully appointed and laid out. While we had teenagers with us, I could see clearly how well equipped the house would be if we’d been there when the kids were toddlers- everything had been thought of for safety and play time for young kids. Pool heating made the holiday for us- we used the pool daily, even on the rainy day! About a 20 min walk into town. Thank you so much to the management company for checking in on us on day 1 and to Louisa for the mid week clean. We had a great break.

Wunderschöner Urlaub im Spätsommer in Luz
Wir waren zu viert 10 Tage im Casa Lontra in Luz. Das Haus ist toll. Es eignet super für bis zu 8 Personen. Es gibt 4 Schlafzimmer mit je einem Doppelbett. 2 Zimmer haben sogar ein Bad ensuite. Es war alles da, was wir brauchten (eine vollausgestattete Küche, Handtücher und Poolhandtücher usw.). Die Handtücher wurden während des Aufenthalts sogar gewechselt. Toller Service. Das Haus liegt ruhig in einer Nachbarschaft aus Einfamilienhäusern. Bis zum Strand von Luz sind es ca 15 min Fußweg. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden wiederkommen. Das Haus ist auch sehr kinderfreundlich eingerichtet (Kinderstuhl, Spielzeug und Reisebetten).

Great Villa for a family holiday
The villa is really spacious and clean and has everything you need for a family holdiday (from kids cutlery and plastic plate to toys and travel cots). A big plus for us was that the pool was gated (not common in portugal). The outside space is amazing too - big pool and some garden for the kids to play and run around. The location is handy to explore Luz as well as the Western algarve, I would suggest having a rental car as the property is a bit up a hill (especially when with younger kids & pram). The property manager was easily reachable when we had questions and the check in procedure was very easy.

About the host

Hosted by Claire Willmott

Host profile image
The Willmott Family live in the South of England and enjoy looking after our animals which currently include a very naughty cocker spaniel, a greedy black Labrador and the Queen of the house is our wire haired Portuguese Podengo who we rescued from the streets of Portugal a few years ago. We have been visiting the Algarve for more than 15 years. We love it there so much that in 2007 we bought a villa in Luz now called Casa Lontra. After a huge refurbishment, the villa is our favourite place to holiday and we enjoy the local beaches (easy for a lazy day and a bit more sociable) as well as exploring further afield and spending long days on the west coast beaches pretending they can surf and body board (the kids aren’t bad - the parents are a poor excuse!).

Why they chose this property

The sea view sold the house to us - with that view we could look past the old fashioned decor, orange kitchen and dog bath in the garden! We loved the traditional feel of the outside but totally refurbished the inside so it now offers a clean, modern villa which works brilliantly for families (and has room for the grandparents too).

What makes this property unique

The villa has been refurbished and equipped with families in mind with the swimming pool, terrace area and garden all individually fenced so little ones can play safely. In addition, cots, highchairs and children's crockery are all provided. The villa is a short drive from the beach at Luz and the village shops but is in a long established lovely, quiet residential area. The views from the villa are of the sea - what more can we say!
