We arrived back last night from a week in Luz staying at Casa Berlin. The villa is even better than the photos on the website and surpassed our expectations. There is plenty of space (we were 2 families staying there) and perfect for little children as there are lots of balconies that don't have direct access to the garden/pool which meant we could keep all the sliding doors open and not have to worry about our small children around the pool. The villa is bright, airy and clean. It is located on the edge of Luz which makes it quieter and more peaceful while still being within walking distance of all the restaurants/bars & beaches. You also have a lovely view of the sea from the villa. We found it to be the perfect location.

The beach is perfect for small children too with lots of space and gentle waves. We had amazing weather (around 29/30 degrees Celsius each day) with beautiful blue skies. We made excellent use of the pool and managed to explore many of the beaches in the surrounding area (there are many to choose from) and all of them just a short drive so the kids never got frustrated with being in the car for long periods).

We hired a speedboat out of Portimao Marina the one day and managed to explore the caves and coves up towards Albufeira too. I would recommend this even though it was quite expensive. There are some really beautiful secluded beaches to discover.

All in all a wonderful holiday in a perfect villa and we would definitely think about staying there again. Thanks to Chris & Ann who were great at communicating with us prior to our holiday and answering all our queries without any trouble. And although we had no need to contact the Villa manager she came round one day as she hadn't heard from us and wanted to check everything was ok. Great service in my opinion and I would definitely recommend this villa.
