THE VILLA:
Casa Bonita, situated on a cliff top on the western Algarve coast, is a magnificent 4 bedroom luxury, fully air-conditioned villa which affords panoramic sea views. From all rooms in the villa is a breath-taking, uninterrupted view of the coast from the cliffs at Lagos to the picturesque fishing village of Burgau.

The house lies just metres from the coast with access to a clifftop walk which runs for many kilometres along the coastline, taking you from the house east to the beach at Luz within 20 min walk and to Burgau to the west in around 40 mins. Finished to an extremely high specification this property is privately owned and self-contained within the seafront development of Porto Dona Maria.
The villa has paved terraces running the length of the front to make the most of the stunning views with 2 of the upstairs bedrooms also having their own large balconies. The pool deck area enables guests to make the most of the magnificent views whilst soaking up the sun or enjoying the sunset over a glass of wine.

AROUND THE VILLA: On all sides of the villa are planted gardens with a shaded car port at the front of the house. This is accessed through remote control electric gates. There is ample further car parking for a number of cars at the front of the villa. Porto Dona Maria is a beautiful resort with reception and 24 hour security. It has been built with a strong environmental focus. Great care has been taken in ensuring that the villas blend into their natural environment with each of the villas being built using natural products, sourced locally where possible. Casa Bonita features handmade Portuguese tiles around the house and pool area, and local timbers in the floors, kitchen and storage. The planting within the gardens is sympathetic to the surrounding landscape and uses flora natural to the local area. The location of the resort within the Western Algarve Conservation area means that beautiful walks lead all directions from the villa, along the cliff tops and surrounding countryside.

GROUND FLOOR: On this level is the spacious, light and airy lounge with comfortable leather sofas and armchairs providing seating for 8 people. The lounge has a 32” screen television with satellite TV providing a range of UK & international channels, DVD player & a glass fronted wood burning stove.

Double width patio doors open onto a terrace overlooking the pool area with truly magnificent sea views. On this terrace guests can relax in the shade from the mid-day sun whilst enjoying the view or watching the kids play in the large 10m x 4m swimming pool.

The lounge is open plan to the dining room which features an impressive dining table with seating for 8 people. It has access to another outdoor shaded terrace with a further table seating 8 for alfresco dining. All of the outdoor terraces are lit to enable you to make the most of your time outdoors in the pleasant Algarve climate.

The hall leads to the fabulous modern well-equipped kitchen with large fridge/freezer, integrated microwave & oven, dishwasher and gas burner hob with built in cherry wood units providing excellent storage. The kitchen has all appliances you would expect including double toaster, coffee maker, kettle, crockery & cutlery for 16 guests and enough saucepans and ovenware to cater for meals for a large group. The kitchen has direct access through double patio doors to its own sheltered terrace and the BBQ area.

Views from all the outdoor terraces are stunning, and all of the rooms make the most of them with full length patio doors and additional windows making sure you can appreciate the location no matter where you are.

Also on this level: the utility room comprising washing machine, tumble drier, iron, ironing board & other cleaning equipment; and a separate cloakroom comprising toilet and wash hand basin.

Each of the rooms is equipped with its own individually remote controlled air-conditioning units (extra charge), although the design of the house means that the rooms stay perfectly cool without the need for air-conditioning for most of the year.

FIRST FLOOR: The first floor comprises the four spacious bedrooms. Each of the bedrooms has its own luxury bathroom, with a further cloakroom on the ground floor, making the house perfect for large families or groups to share.

The magnificent master suite with king bed has its own private balcony with stunning views along the Algarve coast, perfect for enjoying a lazy breakfast in the beautiful Algarve sunshine. The large patio doors to the front & windows to the side ensure this view can be appreciated from both inside & out.

The master suite has its own walk in dressing room with plenty of storage space which leads to a luxury ensuite bathroom. The bathrooms are beautifully finished, each with a feature wall using local Portuguese hand-made ceramic tiles. The master features magnificent double sinks with marble surround, well-lit mirrors and a large walk-in 'rain' style shower cubicle. It also has a separate bath with overhead shower, toilet and bidet. Each of the bathrooms has a heated towel rail and towels are provided for our guests' use.

The second master bedroom has a king size bed, built in storage and an ensuite bathroom. It has views out to sea from its “Juliet” balcony & to the east along the coast towards Lagos. The bathroom includes a bath with overhead power shower, large sink with marble surround, well-lit mirror and toilet.

The third bedroom has twin beds and also has its own private balcony with seating to enjoy the same stunning views towards Lagos and out to sea. This bedroom also has built in storage and its own bathroom which comprises a large walk-in 'rain' style shower cubicle, sink with marble surround, well-lit mirror and toilet.

A few steps lead to the final spacious twin bedroom which also has built in storage and an ensuite comprising large walk-in 'rain' style shower, sink with marble surround, well-lit mirror and toilet. This bedroom has views towards the west and of the evening sunset.

All the bedrooms feature beautiful hardwood floors & are tastefully decorated with ample linens & towels.

OUTSIDE: Whilst the inside of the villa is beautifully presented with all the facilities you need to make the most of your holiday it's the outside that we think you'll fall in love with! The views from all the terraces, balcony & pool deck are stunning and take in a panorama from the cliffs at Lagos, along the coast to the beach at Luz, the clifftop walk in the Western Algarve Conservation Park and finally west towards Burgau.

There are 8 reclining sun loungers available at Casa Bonita, along with 4 small side tables meaning you can set yourself up for a day of sun and relaxation around the spacious pool deck. The pool itself then provides the perfect refreshing dip when the day heats up and at 10m x 4m is large enough for the most avid of swimmers to get in a few lengths before lunch on the dining terrace. We think the villa has a perfect combination of shady terraces to seek shelter from the mid-day sun and other open space for the whole group to enjoy the year round Algarve sunshine.

The sheltered dining terrace with table seating 8 enables you to enjoy the sunset over a glass of wine, while the lighting on each of the terraces means you can stay out in the balmy Algarve climate late into the evening.

Outside the kitchen, along the edge of the garden, is the barbeque area, housing a fantastic extra-large brick barbeque which means you can comfortably cater for all the party outdoors.

The upstairs balconies lead directly off the bedrooms and are each furnished with 2 comfortable wicker seats and side table. They get the sun from early in the morning and are perfect for breakfast with some freshly baked local bread and Portuguese produce from nearby Luz.

On all sides of the villa are planted gardens with a shaded car port at the front of the house. This is accessed through remote control electric gates. There is ample further car parking for a number of cars at the front of the villa.

RESORT FACILITIES: Rental of Casa Bonita gives guests access to the many other facilities on the resort should you wish to use them, however most of our guests tell us they find they have everything they need in our own private villa!
Onsite resort facilities include a large communal salt-water swimming pool and separate children’s pool; the poolside 'Cabana do Pescador' (Fisherman's Hut) which serves drinks, light meals and a variety of dishes, both inside the cafe and on the outside terraces every day (opening hours vary with the season and it is normally closed in Winter); “L’Escargot” restaurant, featuring traditional Algarve dining with fresh local fish dishes as well as other tasty meat dishes, beautifully prepared starters and desserts.
The resort also has a small driving range and putting green for extra practice before the course.

Nearby in Luz, the local supermarket Baptista is great, offering a fantastic selection of fresh fish, meat, breads and cakes. It has some lovely restaurants including our favourites Forta Eleza (Sunday jazz lunch), The Dolphin and Pastelaria Chicca.

Casa Bonita is a firm favourite and we have stayed here many times. The location is about as peaceful as you can get and the view is stunning. The pool is large enough for a proper swim and enjoyably warm. The villa is well equipped and spotlessly clean. The beds are comfortable as is the lounge and outside seating. Luz is a short car journey away and has two good supermarkets and myriad little shops, cafes, ice cream parlours, pubs and restaurants. We also had fantastic weather which is always welcome. Unfortunately our host has no control over this element but Portugal has been a reliable place for us since we first came here.

Idyllic
We have stayed at Casa Bonita many times over the years. It is always spotlessly clean and very well appointed. The poll is large enough for a proper swim and the views are to die for. The small town of Luz is a short drive or a 30 minutes walk away. The two supermarkets, Baptista and Spa have everything you are likely to need. There are several nice resturants, Jacaranda and Latitude for example and Cafe Bombordo which serves an amazing array of meals and drinks all prepared freshly and to order. We are booked again for later in the year. It's that good.

The photos really don't do the view justice - it's cinematic and incredible. A short walk to the little restaurant in the community for coffee in the morning, a very short drive to Luz and its restaurants & grocery. A great gas stove, the pool and 30+mbps wifi made this the perfect spot for a week - really thought about staying another week!

What a property! What magnificent views! We had such a wonderful experience at the villa. Its spacious, clean & incredibly comfortable. We were a group of 7 & there was plenty of space for all of us. The heated pool is stunning with plenty of lounging space around it. Communication with the hosts was quick & easy. The surrounding area of the villa is quiet & safe with some amazing views. Its also a short Uber ride into Praia da Luz. Our group would highly recommend this wonderful property and would love to stay there again.

Family Vacation
The villa is beautiful both inside and out. The views are spectacular. The photos don't do it justice. The sunrise in the morning is breathtaking. There were 6 adults in our group, and there was plenty of space for everyone. I opted to pay the extra to have the AC & pool heated. It was extremely hot when we were there, so the AC was greatly appreciated. I don't think we needed to have the pool heated. It was almost too hot to swim in (not very refreshing). Neil was great at communicating and was quick to anwer my while I found the listing to be quite accurate, the bed in the master is not a king bed, but rather a small queen / large fouble. This appliers to the bed in the other bedromm.

Very windy location
The place itself is just as pictured, very spacious, very clean. The host was very easy to reach. When we only had 4 towels for 7 people he had the extra towels delivered the next day. The only down side to this rental is the location. It was SO windy we couldn't enjoy the outdoor area much past 5 or 6 as it got really cold...and we're from canada, so no outdoor dining, very little swimming. Much of the best parts of the property were unusable. None of the other reviews stress how windy and cool it is here. I just wanted to make others aware of this as it was a big disappointment for us. The location outside of Luz and 15 minutes drive from Lagos is also something to be aware of. We got tired of having to drive everywhere especially when finding parking near the beach is very difficult and frustrating, something you don't need on your vacation.

Fabulous villa, stunning views, peaceful location
We have stayed in Casa Bonita many times over the years and love the location. The villa was spotlessly clean on arrival and is well equipped. It is a couple of miles from Luz, just a short car journey to shops, restaurants and bars. It is also easily walkable following the coastline if you are feeling in need of exercise. The owner has provided new outdoor sofas on the covered terrace which are super comfortable and our go to spot for coffee or glass of wine, shaded from the sun and out of the sometimes chilly wind. Sit here and you have an uninterrupted view of the sea and the many little boats that pass by. It is a delight. The owner is quick to respond to any issues that arise and is always very helpful. One of the big advantages here is the pool. It is large enough for proper swimming or just lazing around and enjoying the sun. I must mention Cafe Bombordo, our favourite place in Luz to get coffee, fresh orange juice, a vast array of food options or wine and cocktails. Sit outside this busy cafe a short stroll from the seafront and watch the world go by. If you want a restaurant serving more elaborate dishes, I can recommend Jacaranda where the menu offers lot of choice and the service is second to none. Casa Bonita will not disappoint and we will definitely return as soon as we can. Many thanks to Jennifer and Neil for their help in making our holiday so enjoyable.

Our group of 8 had plenty of space to come together and to spread out. The pool was great. The house was clean and well-kept. The location, though not in town, had views that couldn't be beat and was central to all the locations we visited.

A wonderful property with a view that makes a vacation a cut above. When arriving, note that Google maps takes you to an empty lot on the street below the house. Our sons hired a car to go to the airport and after wondering why he was 15 minutes late, we discovered him waiting on the street below. The hosts' directions are correct, but we tend to rely on big tech, which can be quite fallible. I highly recommend this property for a family vacation.

An old favourite
We have stayed here many times and regard Casa Bonita as ideal for our needs. It's in a quiet location a couple of miles outside Praia Da Luz in a cul de sac. There's little traffic to spoil the peace and the views are glorious. The pool is a good size for swimming and can be covered to retain heat. The "veranda" which overlooks the pool has become our favourite spot for breakfast and coffee in the morning followed by a glass of wine in the evening and it catches the sun as it moves East to West. It gives a unobscured view of the sea too. It can be windy at times so the shelter it provides is very welcome. The Portuguese style BBQ just outside the kitchen is big and generates a lot of heat quickly. There are two large tables outside if you want a meal in the sun. Inside, the villa is cool even on a hot day and there are several comfortable sofas in the large lounge. There's a new LG flat screen, smart TV with all the streaming services you would expect. There's also a dining room for when you want to eat inside. The kitchen is well equipped and capable of cooking any type of meal you might fancy. The bedrooms are generous and the beds very comfortable. On arrival we found the villa spotlessly clean, (as expected) with plenty of towels. Downstairs, the floors are tiled and easy to clean any spillages but it's worth taking care if your feet are wet as it's easy to skid on the shiny surface. Luz has all the shops needed from 2 supermarkets, a fishmonger, pharmacy, many bars, cafes and restaurants. If you need some flip flops or a beach mat, there's a shop that sells a vast array of holiday items. Luz is a lovely town and not so large that it overwhelms you. The beach is ideal for families and parking is free with few roads in which it's not possible to find a space. The western end of the Algarve has some stunning beaches, particularly on the Atlantic coast so it is well worth exploring beyond Luz. The property owner is great and over the years we have found any issues that crop up are dealt without delay. We intend to book again for next year so it's fair to say Casa Bonita comes highly recommended.
