We had a lovely stay, the villa is perfect for a family group. The downstairs has two bedrooms and a lounge which was great for our daughter and her family. The pool area is great, sun all day. BBQ was fab, nice touch having a little fridge on the patio for drinks. Villa very clean and a good layout. Kitchen had everything you would need. Thank you to John for the lovely touch of treats, left in the fridge for us. Very thoughtful. Beds are comfy with nice bedding, plenty of towels and beach towels too. About a 20min walk to the center which has some lovely restaurants. Beach is gorgeous with watersports too. Its downhill going down but up coming back, but you can get an Uber for £3.75 though if don't fancy the uphill. Nice quiet location. We loved our stay and can't wait to come back. John was always quick to respond to any queries or questions. Great host, great villa in a lovely location. Thank you

This was our first visit to Portugal and a very much needed holiday, so we were very happy to find such a lovely villa with great amenities and supplies. There were thoughtful welcome gifts that we really appreciated on arrival and during the week. It is a spacious, well designed property with a great pool that we all thoroughly enjoyed with no fear of fighting for sunbeds as there were plenty. We paid for having it heated which we did need, so was worth it. It was a very clean villa, bedding great and plenty of towels including beach towels. The kitchen was stocked with everything you needed, from condiments and sauces to bags to take to the supermarket. The front garden is private, secure, very pretty and stocked with fruit trees, giving us fresh lemons for our drinks. John was helpful when contacted and responded quickly. It is about a 25 minute walk into Luz from the villa to the beach, but be warned it is uphill on the way back! This helped us walk off the delicious meals we had in the town. We were 6 adults from age 20-60 and all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we just wished it had been longer.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at John's villa in Luz. The villa was extremely well equipped and staged perfectly. The decor and pool were lovely, and the garden with its flowers and trees was beautiful. Located in a quiet neighborhood, the location was perfect for our needs. We have travelled extensively over the past several years and John's villa is easily one of the best we have found. We would definitely stay again.

What a great property for families. We were 2 families, 9 people in total and the facilities were great for the large number. The villa is kitted out to a high standard and has everything that you need. The pool is excellent but deep at one end so I would recommend that kids can swim but great for older kids and relaxing adults.

Enjoyed sitting around the pool - we paid to heat it - after our hikes. Nice walk to Praia da Luz and quiet location. Bedrooms were good size, bathrooms could have been cleaner..

We loved staying in this house, it’s spacious and the pool area is lovely! Everything was clean and the communication smooth.

Perfect location for relaxing holiday. Really enjoyed it. Tommy

We stayed in June 2022 a family with a teen and our children in their 20’s there were 7 of us and the villa was perfect. It is equipped with everything you need and has plenty of space. The town is a short walk away of around 20 minutes, the taxi service was also really reliable. The location is great. We had a day out at Slide and Splash which was great fun, we also took a taxi into Lagos for around 30 euros for us all which was also a good day out. There are plenty of great restaurants in Prai da Luz, the Saffron Indian was especially good. Would highly recommend and we would stay again.

A stunning villa!! We all really enjoyed our stay in Johns beautiful villa, the garden and pool setting in the evening is stunning with all the garden lights on. The villa provides everything you need and more. The owner John was extremely helpful and should be very proud of his beautiful home, thank you for a lovely stay.

Photos don’t do it justice. Stunning villa within walking distance of luz and Burgau. Hard to drag yourself away from the pool to visit any of the local area!! We counted 9 options for sitting to eat dinner !! Lovely fruit trees for making juice or cocktails. Highly recommend!!

From checking in to checking out everything was very straightforward. Lots of information about surrounding area and useful numbers, a lovely 20 min stroll into Luz or a little further along the beautiful coastal path, Burgau also walking distance a little further via the coastal path but lovely views. There’s an excellent taxi service that we used regularly very reliable and was only around 6€ for 6 of us. So was able to get into Luz for evening drinks etc., with no issues - we didn’t feel it was necessary for car hire. We did a couple of walks into Burgau then sat outside the supermarket had a drink or two, did our shopping and ordered a taxi home 😊. John was very helpful when we had a minor issue with plumbing it was sorted before we even got back the same day. The villa was more spacious then we’d imagined and the amenities are plenty we really didn’t want for anything. We didn’t have the pool heated it was cold but had so much fun watching all our faces when we got in it. I’d highly recommend for a group of friends or couples and would definitely accommodate a couple of families. We had a wonderful comfortable stay and would definitely return.

Huge house with incredible pool. Great location, within walking distance to Luz. All the amenities you need including fast internet.

House was very nice and spacious and was well equipped. Although we were only 2 there is plenty of room for a large family to be comfortable. The welcome pack was very useful, as were the beach/pool towels which were provided. We did experience some traffic noise from the nearby Luz to Burgau Road, but overall we would recommend the property.

Overall we had a lovely holiday and we have booked for next year. Beds were very comfortable and it was lovely to have the tv room to retire to in the evening with a large selection of stations to choose from and with little delays if you turned off all other WiFi when watching. The pool was excellent and there were plenty of sunbeds. It was good to be able to choose where to sit as there were several areas around the villa. The front garden was lovely. The kitchen was fully equipped and modern. We made good use of our hire car and the villa is ideally located for all areas. We have stayed in many villas/houses in the Algarve and Silver Coast over the years but this has been our favourite - very homely and comfortable . Excellent!

Clean, comfortable and well equipped villa in a quiet neighbourhood on the outskirts of Luz. Suited our requirements perfectly (2 retired couples and 2 younger couples). Easy to self-cater with a large kitchen and a decent bbq. Restaurants in Luz are a 15-20min walk and there are plenty of taxis and ubers around. Would like to return and can certainly recommend.

Loved our holiday and made very good use of the lovely pool. Kitchen is well equipped and we used the BBQ several times too. There were even dishwasher tablets and washing liquid in the cupboards, but I had taken my own, as this is rare in my experience. Welcome pack was greatly appreciated, there was even some lemon marmalade, made with their own lemons, which was very nice. Good contact with the owner and a couple of small problems sorted quickly - the problems did not impact on our holiday in any way. A car is recommended but we didn't have one, just did lots of walking, even my 82 year old pretty fit mother! We did use the taxi service recommended, which were usually with us within 10 minutes and were reasonably priced. We made use of the shopping delivery service through Baptista supermarket a few times too. I would recommend pre-booking meals out as we struggled to get in on the first night. Highly recommend Paulo's, delicious food and reasonable, went back again and had the same meal! Thank you John for letting us stay in your beautiful villa. Kind regards.

A lovely and very practical villa which was perfect for a large family. The villa was well equipped and the pool was great, especially for the children. Luz centre and the beach are around a 20 minute walk from the villa where we had many lovely meals in the different restaurants. A fabulous 2 weeks!!

nous étions 2 familles (4 adultes et 4 ados) et avons passé un séjour parfait dans la villa de John (17 jours) Les photos de l'annonce correspondent exactement à la réalité. L'organisation de la villa est bien pensée : au rez-de-chaussée, cuisine, salon, séjour, toilettes et une nouvelle chambre que nous n'avons pas utilisé. Au 1er, 1 chambre parentale et une chambre avec salle d'eau en face : c'était l'étage des parents. Quant aux enfants, ils occupaient le sous-sol (lumineux car accès par une baie vitrée à l'extérieur) avec 2 chambres de 2 lits d'1 personne et 1 salle d'eau. L'équipement de la cuisine est fort complet, la piscine agréable et de bonne taille, la literie très bonne et le jardin sur le devant de la villa très appréciable, surtout les citronniers. Le contact avec John s'est fait exclusivement par mail, mais tout est bien organisé pour l'arrivée et la prise en main de la villa. A chaque occasion, John a su être réactif et efficace à nos demandes. Par ailleurs, la piscine est entretenue une fois par semaine, le linge de maison a été changé une fois sur notre séjour et le jardinier est passé également une fois par semaine. Tout ce confort d'utilisation fait que l'on se sent vite comme chez soi et chacun y trouve rapidement ses marques. La ville de Luz et son centre se situe à 25' à pied (en descendant!!! attention au retour, ça grimpe) Une belle plage , des petits commerces et des bons restos Si l'occasion se représente, nous n'hésiterions pas un instant à recontacter John pour louer cette villa Laurent(17/07/19 - 02/08/19)

Villa was one of the best looking on the street. As we pulle dup we saw the beautiful front garden area and a tree bursting with huge fresh lemons, which we made use of. There was a good welcome pack of food and drink when we arrived and all the rooms were well kept and it looked recently modernised. The pool area was a bit tired and the sunbeds could do with replacing, two of them snapped and broke during our stay as they were old and brittle. The owner told us that these would soon be replaced. John was always at hand to answer any queries and the Pool guy was extremely friendly and helpful . Even mended my mothers wheelchair for her! I would recommend staying here. The walk to the beach is about 20mins downhill but is a little tougher walking back. There was a nearby cafe which was really good. Overall a great holiday.

Very clean modern villa, 10-15 mins walk to Praia da luz centre. About 50 mins drive from the airport and straight forward to find, mainly 1 road for majority of the way. Outside area is a sun trap, no need for the pool to be heated the water is very warm especially compared to the sea! Would recommend Saffron Indian restaurant in Luz. Overall we would highly recommend this villa for a relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle. Thanks!

The villa was absolutely beautiful so well presented and equipped with absolutely everything you need, we spent alot of time around the pool and enjoyed every moment of our stay the gardens were beautiful and the bedrooms were amazing, the children loved the pool and the area where the villa is located was amazing, we shall definitely be returning, thank you for an amazing stay

Everything about the villa was perfect, it was extremely well appointed, the beds were very comfortable, it was very spacious and everywhere was spotlessly clean. There was a very generous welcome pack, very much appreciated. The front garden is beautiful, a relaxing place to sit and the pool area is attractive especially at night with the garden light illuminated. A car would be advisable as the walk to beach, shops, restaurants is probably about 20 minutes and uphill on the way back. We would definitely come back to this villa.

Beautiful villa and owner could not have been more helpful.

Just back from a brilliant time staying in this villa. 2 weeks with me, my wife and our 6 month old baby and then various grandparents for a few days at the end. We could not recommend this villa highly enough. Spotlessly clean, everything feels new and well looked after, loads of space for different family 'groups', amazing pool, beautiful garden and lemon tree. The area is perfect too - 25 minute walk to lovely Luz and a short drive from so many beautiful towns and beaches. Communication with the owner was superb throughout. Thanks for having us!

We had a great stay and the villa was excellent

Fantastic villa and pool area in a quiet location.. could not get the kids out of the pool! Maintained well and the gardens with the fresh lemon trees were lovely. Welcome basket of essentials was a lovely touch when we arrived. Everything that you needed was there. We didn’t hire a car this year but would next time.. quite an uphill walk on the way back from the centre of luz but soon got used to it (and worked off all the meals out!). Only 1 hiccup that John sorted quickly so didn’t impact on our stay. Great local English bar (bar Carib) nearby that did a great barbecue on a Sunday .. only a small walk if you cut through the alleyway at the top of the street. Would definitely stay again and we were all gutted to leave x

With a lovely shady garden at the front of the property, and a sparkling pool at the rear, Vila Christina had everything we could have asked for. There was good separation for the children in the downstairs lounge (if required) whilst the adults could be on the middle floor which is adjacent to the pool and the outdoor bar/seating area.
