What a beautiful stay! The villa was very large with lots of outdoor seating options. Pool was great, heated just enough to take the chill off. A short walk to the beach and restaurants. Very well-equipped kitchen and outdoor BBQ. Beautiful gardens. We highly recommend!

Everything was great absolutely no issues at all! Location was perfect

This is an excellently located and well appointed villa. The housekeeper is truly delightful, very helpful and discreet. The owners were swiftly and positively reactive when I approached them with a couple of questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa da Figeuira.

Lovely decorated house with everything you can ask for. Well equipped kitchen. Nice garden and outside space. Perfect poolarea. Close to restaurants and beach. We are all very satisfied.

This rental must be seen to really absorb what an incredible property it is. My 20- something son and daughter are still gushing over it, as are we. The grounds are filled with walkways and beautiful gardens, lime trees, flowers galore, and so much space and privacy. It looks like a beautiful painting so we all took many photos while there just to capture the colors and design of it all. The bedrooms are enormous, pool is pristine and heated if you choose, there is a large amount of outdoor furniture to enjoy family meals outside as well as padded lounge chairs for reading and relaxing after a swim. We just could not get over the huge new kitchen and all the books to choose from. In short, this is paradise. I hope to get back to Algarve so we can stay here again. There is simply nothing that compares and we have rented many properties for trips as a family. The owner is available to communicate with at all times and the housekeeper Amelia does all of your laundry and dishes for you. I could go on and on. This is heaven. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful holiday here, the villa is spacious, beautiful gardens, great pool and spotlessly clean, thanks to Amelia. The villa is only a couple of minutes walk from the beach, restaurants and shops. We recieved great instructions before our visit, access was easy and Amelia helped us with any queries during our stay. Cleaning each week day was thorough but discreet. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Located just a short walk to the beach, the villa is set in lovely mature gardens with a generous swimming pool with plenty of sun loungers. Three spacious bedrooms and bathrooms with plenty of scope for our larger family of adults to eat inside or out, games and films provided and nothing missed. All immaculately maintained by an attentive and helpful maid who visits all weekdays. Perfect for us!

Another perfect week with our family in the beautiful Casa de Figuera. The villa is stunning, Amelia is amazing, we just love being here.

My family and I stayed at Casa da Figueira recently for 5 nights and we had a wonderful experience. The home is well located near the Praia da Luz (a 5 - 10 minute walk) as well as near many restaurants and shops in the charming (and less crowded!) beach town of Luz. Amelia, the on site housekeeper, took wonderful care of doing our laundry, making the beds, and generally making our stay memorable. The pictures of the home are very accurate, and the pool and grounds are impressive and very well maintained. We ate out every lunch and dinner, so we only used the well stocked kitchen for breakfast and feeding our 8 month old granddaughter (high chair and crib available). We would highly recommend Casa da Figueira for families and/or couples who want a relaxing vacation escape close to a beach with a wonderful pool as well as beautiful grounds and landscaping. Casa da Figueira is truly a paradise found in the Algarve.

Where do I start.....this property is amazing. Pictures do not do it justice. The entire place inside and out was spotless, old world charm. The pool area was immaculate and much needed after a long day of exploring. What a treat to pick fresh lemons from the lemon trees right outside the kitchen and bbq in the outdoor grill. Amelia was a delight and took very good care of us. She was lovely! The property is very private, and is a short walk to the beach and numerous restaurants. We have been to many VRBO properties and Sophie is by far the best host we have had. Welcoming, clear property instructions and quick to answer any emails or questions we had. Praia da Luz is a must see and wouldn't be complete without a stay at this spectacular property!!!! Thank you from our group of 6 for making this a very memorable vacation!!

This villa is beautifully kept and very well equipped. It is a credit to the owners and the housekeeper. It is surprisingly peaceful as it is only 5 minutes walk from the beach and the catering facilities. Please do not book it until I have decided on my dates next year!!

We have been renting villas in the Algarve over the last 10 years and this is by far the best we’ve had.Amelia was amazing, plentiful supply of clean towels and bedding changed twice during our stay.We had a problem with the water supply during our first week when the local council turned all the water to the villa off but Amelia was as able to communicate with them and sort out a temporary fix which lasted for our stay. Unfortunately she wasn’t able to get us English TV which normally wouldn’t have bothered us but would have liked to watch the coverage of Queen Elizabeth’s passing. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend villa to all our friends and family.

Our second trip to Casa de Figuera and everything was perfect, just like last time. An absolutely beautiful setting, so close to local amenities and a wonderful sandy beach, a fabulous pool and not to forget the legend that is Amelia. See you next year!

Casa da Figueira is a most beautiful and charming villa. Inside, it is spacious, spotless and immaculately equipped and outside, the pool area and gardens are just stunning. It is a total oasis, offering peace and tranquility, with the beach and bars and restaurants, just a stones throw away too. Perfection!

This property is amazing. It’s quiet , private and close to everything you need. You can walk everywhere. Amelia is wonderful. We didn’t have a car for most of the time we spent at the house. We rented a car in Luz for 3 days to see the rest of the Algarve. So many restaurants within a five minute walk. We loved our stay and hopefully we will return soon.

Property was stunningly beautiful. I would and have recommended it as a place to stay for my family. 3 minute walk to the beach on cobblestones and the restaurants were in the same area and the food was delicious.

If anything , we overbooked our day trips, Which limited our time at this very special villa. What a luxury, though, to come home to a sparkling house with our laundry done! Housekeeper Amelia is a wonderful bonus to this stellar accommodation and I would recommend it to anyone. The house is charming and comfortable with a top notch kitchen, and the grounds are beautifully laid out with mature, diverse plantings from the orangerie to cacti and palms. Sigh. We just left and I can’t wait to go back!

Sophie's house is a really wonderful oasis and perfect for a relaxing break. Its traditional design is charming with lots of alcoves and quiet corners to relax in. The real attraction is the huge garden that's great to explore and the lovely pool. The house is minutes away from the beach, shops and restaurants. And is a perfect location to explore the Western Algarve.

We cannot recommend staying at Casa da Figueira highly enough. From the start the process was smooth and painless and Sophie was extremely quick to answer any inquiries we had. The property and grounds are very well kept, secluded and a pleasure to be in. The amenities and equipment at the property cover everything you could need. The pool was great (we had it heated). We were very well looked after by Amelia, she has a gift of being discreet but we knew she’d been as everywhere was so clean and tidy. The property is accessed either via the garage or a pathway to a gate and we felt very secure. We hope to be back soon!

Ideal house by the beach

We had a really nice week in this great place

After a delay of almost a year due to Covid we finally made it to Casa da Figueira. It didn't disappoint. A beautiful villa and gardens, so relaxed and quiet, and fully equipped. The villa itself is nicely decorated, we loved the artwork, some really nice personal touches. It's very spatious, all of the rooms are generously proportioned, with high ceilings too, so you feel relaxed and have plenty of room to chill out in. The gardens are beautiful, providing even more space to relax in. We made use of all 3 patios, and the bbq, and of course the pool which was lovely and warm (it is August!), a good size, private, and nicely located right by the patio area, and easily accessed from the villa. The villa was very clean and kept that way by the lovely Amelia who was very friendly and helpful. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed likewise the villa in general. Sophie was also very helpful communicating with us prior to our arrival and everything was explained and easy to follow. From the photos and previous reviews I expected Casa da Figueira to be really nice and it didn't disappoint. We plan to return again for another lovely, relaxing family beach holiday 😀

This property was everything that was promised. It was a dream come true. The property was extremely cared-for and it has lots of room, a beautiful outside area and was walking distance to the beach and shopping . Amelia came every day and even did some laundry for us which was very much appreciated. We loved it at Casa da Figueira and there was public transportation in town to get to other towns close by. Thank you for allowing us the use of your beautiful home! As we were departing all of us said it was the best vacation we have had !

As the chill of fall approached in New England we extended our summer in Luz at Casa da Figueira, the perfect getaway. Private lush grounds, plenty of space to share with another couple (or two), a well appointed kitchen, clean and up to date, lovely swimming pool, peaceful and quiet but just a few minutes walk from a fabulous beach, shops and many wonderful restaurants. It was our second visit and this stay surpassed all our fond memories of four years ago. Some short drives took us to a variety of destinations for exploring the coastal towns, castles and forts, and mountains of the Algarve. But one could just remain at the Casa and have a wonderful time, enhanced by the attentions of Amelia who came every weekday to clean, do our laundry and act as hostess. This is a “wow!” property with exceptional charm and amenities. We will definitely be back!!

Our family had a dream holiday at this beautiful villa. It couldn’t have been better for two families with small children to stay in. There were toys to play with for the house, beach and pool, two travel cots, high chairs, beach towels - not to mention fantastic cooking facilities. The house itself is immaculate and beautiful, we loved the traditional decor and homely touches. The gardens were a bonus and the pool was clean, warm and huge! Everything was perfect from start to finish! And having Amelia visit us daily to help with cleaning and washing our clothes was the icing on the cake. The location is perfect and walking distance to the beach and lots of wonderful local restaurants, and it feels safe and friendly. The communication was incredible from the owner and all of our questions were answered swiftly. A special place - we will definitely be back in the future.

Fantastische ligging. Op loopafstand van alles wat je wilt. Sobere maar prima accommodatie tegen een prima prijs. Geweldig strand, goede restaurants en gezellige terrassen. Mooie golfbanen vlak in de buurt.

This property was special. The accommodations are spacious, private, and luxurious. The grounds are beautiful and exceptionally maintained . We spent many afternoon and evenings relaxing by the beautiful heated pool. Amelia is a treasure. She came daily to make our beds and to keep the place sparkling. She even did our laundry! She was incredibly helpful and respected our privacy. You simply could not ask for a better location - steps to hiking, beach, great supermarket, and restaurants. We will happily return!

I traveled to Portugal with my mom, dad, sis and a friend. The villa was well appointed and the pool was lovely. It was indeed steps from a beautiful beach (Praia do Luz) . And it was excellent to have off street parking as parking is at a premium in this area. The owners, Sophie and Jesus were wonderful. They responded very quickly to any questions that we had and were most accommodating. We wanted a later checkout and they said no problem. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Our stay was short but very nice. Our beds were all very comfortable and we really appreciate this. Amelia took very good care of us! The village and beach where a 4 minute walk away from our house. There are many little restaurants in this are of Luz which are all well rated. We didn't want to leave this wonderful spot.

We have just returned from an absolutely wonderful family holiday at Casa De Figuera. The villa is wonderful, so beautifully kept, the pool amazing, we spent a lot of time enjoying it!. The location is superb, a small walk to the beach and lots of really nice resteraunts, family friendly and welcoming. Amelia is a wonderful housekeeper, she’s like an invisible fairy godmother, keeping us tidy, doing laundry and there for information, besides that she’s lovely lady! I can’t recommend this beautiful villa enough, it’s large, roomy, extremely well maintained, just go, you’ll see what I mean xx

Just returned from what can only be described as a perfect 8 night holiday. The traditional villa is spacious, perfectly located and equipped with everything you need for a truly relaxing holiday. Amelia is an absolute gem and kept the place beautifully during our stay - I can’t thank her enough for her help. We look forward to visiting again!
