Property needs update on lounge chairs around pool Needs washing machine to accommodate group of 21. Outdoor had stains on lounge chairs. Overall had a great time . Lots to see in and around the area. Construction going on near the house going on. Enjoyed the place.

We stayed as a large group of friends with 9 young children. The property is perfect. There is so much space! We never felt on top of each other and the outside eating area made the holiday. The owner and manager were very helpful and approachable...thank you! You won't be able to find better...book now!

We have recently returned from this gorgeous property and felt that we needed to share our experience with everyone because the entire holiday was simply perfect! There were 8 adults and 12 kids and at first we were a bit concerned that the villa wouldn't quite be big enough to fit us all in! We were very wrong! The villa is huge! From booking through to our day of check-in, the entire process was really smooth. Doug and his team went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The villa was immaculate on arrival and it didn't take long for us to feel at home. The rooms are really spacious and comfortable and the external cooking/garden area was where we spent every evening. The swimming pool was clean and the kids loved the Badminton court and table tennis table. At night we would use the gorgeous hot tub/jacuzzi and this was also immaculately clean. We hardly had to leave the property because everything we needed was there. I don’t think we used the gym that much though but for anyone who is a fitness freak is going to love the personal gym! Overall I would recommend this property to anyone thinking of taking a large group of family or friends to Luz. The village is beautiful, the people are friendly and we’ll definitely be booking to go back next year!

4 generations (aged 85 - 2 years) of our family stayed here for a week in April 2019. Having carefully read hundreds of reviews of lots of properties, I'm writing this review in the hope that it will be useful information for anyone considering booking a stay here. 1 hour drive from Faro airport, we couldn't find apartment but after ringing Geoff, he met within 10 mins and guided us there. Fantastic house but not really child friendly (glass topped coffee table, marble narrow spiral staircase to all floors) lots of steps both inside and out to negotiate in order to access all the areas of the property. The only other challenge was disposal of rubbish -200 + metre trek down the dirt track to get to the main road where the communal refuse bin was but think this may be normal for Portugal. I would recommend hiring a car - 30 minute walk to beach and local eateries, which is quite an uphill trek back, so not suitable for elderly or very young. PLUS POINTS fabulous swimming pool and surrounding area, which was all non slip tiles, (pool heating essential in April) wonderful outdoor kitchen with bar b que, fridge, dishwasher and plenty of space to eat, because of this and the distance to eat out, we made the most of this. Baptiste supermarket 5 mins drive away and bigger supermarket 10 - 15 mins drive away in Lagos. Overall we had a fantastic week, communication with the owner Doug and Local contact Geoff was great. I hope this feedback is helpful.

We had a group of 10 adults, 2 teenagers, and 10 kids aged between 3 and 9, and we never felt like we were on top of each other. Most of the week was spent in the pool area, which itself is big. At one point I looked around and saw people playing Volleyball, kids in the pool and Hot Tub, others sat in the outdoor lounge area reading, and the older boys playing table football. You can easily spend the whole day at the villa without getting bored. It's like having a small hotel to yourself. Most evening and nights we congregated in the outdoor kitchen and dining area and BBQd, the indoor kitchen was only really used for breakfast and the oven. Likewise the indoor lounge was barely used, except for watching football (the villa has a streamer box with all European sports channels). The whole villa is very well equipped, the bathrooms are all recently renovated and spacious, we didn't really want for anything. In the garden is a large storage box with balls, lilos, badminton rackets, pool toys etc. The optional Wifi was worth the minor cost, there are two wifi networks so you get coverage all the way down to the hot tub at the bottom of the garden. Finally Doug (the owner), was very responsive in the months before our holiday, and during. Likewise Marco the local manager. We did present a list of questions and minor issues when we arrived, they were all sorted out within the same day. Doug even sent out an air con engineer the same day when we had a problem with one of the units. Fairly sure we will be visiting again. Tips would be: - It's about 25 min walk downhill to the town/beach, the first part near the villa is down a bumpy track, so it's advisable to get a rental car(s). - Luz town is quite small and the restaurants get booked early - best to make reservations if you want to eat out. - All of the rooms are much bigger than they appear on the floor plan, no one has to have a 'small' room. - It can get quite chilly in the evening, so worth bringing some long sleeves.

Booked through Doug and hosted by Marco at the Villa both made our stay so easy. My 60th birthday treat with all my family and friends. fresh and modern, very clean and all mod cons that work. Great outside communal area in built in double BBQ. We paid extra for the heated pool and its was worth every penny. The villa boasts lots of quiet areas as well as full on sports and entertainment places. The area of Praia Luz is beautiful. I would recommend this Villa

The villa is huge! We comfortably had 18 people of mixed ages holidaying together. The outside area is fantastic & very sociable. We loved the pool but would definitely recommend you pay to have it heated! The hot tub got well used during our week long stay. I would recommend you hire a car though it is walkable to Luz beach & shops! We tried several restaurants in Luz which we all enjoyed & the beach is gorgeous! Doug was great with communication and we received our full breakages deposit back very promptly on our return! We all loved every minute and would love to go back again in the future!

Absolutely fabulous stay at Quinta Oceane (QO) in June 2017, we had booked nearly two years ago for 16 of us (our age ranged from 83 to 9 months old) to celebrate our parents 60th Wedding Anniversary. From the time that I had originally booked QO with Doug to the time that our week had finished, the communication was excellent and effortless, the information and recommendations for airport transfers etc was also excellent – a very well organised process. QO is set back slightly to be in a quiet corner with about a 15min walk into town, if our parents wanted to go into town we got them a taxi which was cheap and quick but for ourselves a brisk walk was lovely, the local supermarket delivered free of charge, no matter how large or small your shop, which was really helpful.The images of QO do not do it justice, it is huge Villa with large frontage and electric gate, plenty of room for the whole family to socialise or to spend some quiet time by yourself. The living room was spacious, with pleasant decor and very well equipped with air-conditioning, TV, Games console etc, not that we spent a lot of time inside as outside was just amazing, the kitchen and utility area was also well equipped and clean.Every bedroom was clean, ours opened out to look over the pool area, some rooms had balconies. The bedrooms had lots of storage and excellent en-suite facilities, hand and bath towels were supplied with the booking, but we also took advantage of hiring beach towels from Doug.The best time ever was had outside, simply amazing…., Orange trees laden with really juicy Oranges, badminton, table tennis, music speakers a massive swimming pool with plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas all around and the children had so much fun in the children’s pool which was about 18inches deep, perfect for the little ones. Then there is the hot tub at the bottom of the garden, we loved it and it was perfect for the evenings. In the evening the garden lights lit up the pool and garden area, so pretty. But I think our favourite was the massive BBQ area, which had a lovely covered area with plenty of tables and chairs for those of our party who preferred shade to sunbathing. The BBQ area was extensive, with a huge BBQ, dish washer, in fact we used it to do nearly all of our cooking as it had everything that you needed including fridge, freezer, large drinks cooler. Amazing holiday. Would I recommend to others and would I return to QO, yes I certainly would.
