Wonderful home with a wonderful view. Large, private, villa just up the hill from charming Santa Barbara de Nexe. Only 20 minutes to the Faro area beeches. If you are a cyclist, the rolling hills of Algarve are right outside your door. BTW, a day in Seville is only 2 hours away. We had six adults and 1 teenager and it never felt crowded.

As my taxi driver said, this is the proper Algarve and he wasn't wrong. Isolated but close enough for a 20 minute walk to the local town, we (5 adults 2 children) had a great stay. Everything that we needed was on site and we were only a short drive away from anything else we ran short of. Great that the taxi's recognise the villa, never short of transport. All in all a relaxing and enjoyable break

Wonderful layout and size, so well equipped and a real home-from-home.
We were a party of 9, 6 adults and 3 children with ages ranging from 2 to 8. We have had many villa stays across Europe and beyond and Casa Lucia was, without doubt, one of the best. The layout and size was perfect, meaning we could be together when we needed to be but separate as well. The level of equipment was outstanding from crockery and cutlery to the 3 fridges and 2 barbecues, one gas and one charcoal. The pool was wonderful, large and clean and didn't feel crowded even with all 9 of us in at once. Add to this the sports equipment (including a purpose made mini football pitch) with pool inflatables, balls and buoyancy aids and even buckets and spades to take on trips to the beach and it was more than the full package. Easy access to a couple of restaurants and a supermarket in Santa Barbera as well as larger shops and facilities in Loule meant the location was ideal too. I am only sad that we may not be able to go back as we will be a party of 10 next time and need another bedroom. A memorable week for sure.

Family Holiday
The Villa is superb. The whole family loved the pool and the table tennis. The kitchen inside is very well equipped and it was great to have an outside kitchen. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and there are more than adequate wardrobes , drawers etc., The grounds outside are well kept and there is a grass pitch for football. The roof area is stunning although we didn’t use it very much due to the very hot weather whilst we were there. The dining area outside was used all the time by us. The sitting room is very comfortable and there are various games and books. We all voted it to be one of the best villa we have stayed in. We would definitely love to come back.

Perfect stay
Good communications from the owners and their agents. Great to be welcomed on arrival by the property manager and brilliant welcome pack no matter what time of day you may arrive. We have stayed in Santa Barbara de Nexe many times so know it well and that Charneca would suite us. Casa Lucia actually outstripped our expectations. The perfect outside areas, great views, pool, shaded terraces, BBQ etc etc, inside the villa is extremely comfortable, spacious well equipped to a high standard and as sports fans we loved the access to Sky TV. Le Marquis restaurant worth a visit. Many thanks from all the family to Lucy and Julia you have a very beautiful villa.

Another fabulous stay
Second holiday staying at this excellent villa. Modern, well equipped with excellent facilities . Updated since last visit also - bedrooms are spacious with plenty of wardrobe space. Living space is well furnished and the outside area and pool are stunning. Another garden space has been added with Hoopoe’s on the lawn every day. Tucked away in the hills and not overlooked with everything you need close by. Excellent holiday for the family, we shall return again!

A wonderful family time
We have just returned from an amazing family holiday in Casa Crow/Lucia. We spent 7 Days in this beautiful property. Our impression when we arrived was that pictures do not do justice of the real space and comfort offered by the house: It is huge!!!! We received a welcome pack which had all the essentials to get you started including excellent wine and local products. The house comes with EVERYTHING you will need. In special, the kitchen and BBQ. They are l fully and newly equipped. There is plenty of working surfaces, 2 ovens, 3 fridges and a great terrace to eat alfresco. As we traveled during the pandemic, the house provided some face masks, sanitizer and hand wash. The pool had a great size and the outdoor space provided ample opportunity for our party to enjoy different activities. Make sure you study the directions given by the property managers to arrive to the house as GPS systems can get a bit confused. We highly recommend this property ! Thank you Lucy and Richard!

Excellent & well equipped villa
Stayed at this lovely villa for 2 weeks during August/Sept 2019. The villa is perfect for a family holiday and was well equipped with all modern ammenities. The bedrooms were well furnished, bright, clean and of a good size. The kitchen was smart and modern with all you could possibly need and the bathrooms likewise. A similar story outside with a large pool (maintained regularly) and patio area with ample sunbeds (of good quality) and seating areas. There was also an upstairs area perfect for sundowners or a space to get away from kids and family! Any assistance required was smartly addressed by Richard the villa manager. A great stay in a great villa, we will be back!
