*** Remaning summer availability: May 1-11, 22-25; June 16-26; July 14-19; some of September.***

This beautiful, spacious villa has hosted many happy holidays. It can comfortably sleep up to 8 & provides a great base for those who want to visit the beautiful Algarve beaches, golf courses, race and go kart tracks, mountains and historic sites.
The villa sits on a large private plot with extensive well developed gardens offering excellent privacy. With a great pool (10m x 4m) and many indoor / outdoor games, plus modern kitchen and BBQ it's a chance to entertain and play at home. Outstanding local restaurants and bars means you can choose when you want to visit the busier tourist hotspots.

Although in a secure, peaceful area within a community of individual, exceptional homes Casa Lucile provides a great central location for those who want to get out and about. This may include visiting the lovely Algarve beaches such as at Alvor (9 miles and a 14 minute drive), golf courses – Penina (5 miles), Autodromo racetrack (4 miles), Lagos (13 miles), mountains – Monchique (14 miles), and/or go shopping - Aqua Mall (10 miles).

For the young and within walking distance on Monte Canelas, we are delighted to now have an excellent new playground, with snacks and picnic tables and benches as well as a fountain (with pet water fountain) plus various fitness equipment. (See photos).

Excellent broadband / wifi makes this a great option for your virtual office. You may even choose to take a longer break, out of season.
The villa is professionally cleaned throughout before your visit and a commercial laundry is used to ensure all bedding and towels are 100% clean.

The entrance way leads into a spacious reception area with a luxurious new lounge (c30m2) on the left which has a large leather suite and smart TV plus a dining area with new table and 8 chairs for more formal dining.
On the right the hallway leads to the guest bathroom and the 1st bedroom, with views directly out to the pool. The kitchen and utility area is further down the hall with access to the back garden. The large games room area with Smart TV, has two patio doors which access the covered terrace with BBQ, that also leads straight out to the pool. The 2nd bedroom on the left also has patio doors which lead to another terrace at the rear.
Also from the reception area is a beautiful marble staircase with glass and steel rail leading to the 1st floor
On the upper floor the first, ensuite bedroom has patio doors leading to a narrow balcony with views overlooking the lush gardens, pool and countryside beyond. The larger master bedroom has a spacious terrace with sun loungers, perfect for taking in the southern aspect and day long Algarvian sunshine, as well as enjoying views to the Morgada Golf Course and to Monchique.

The villa has recently undergone a total renovation including a new lounge and games room, 3 new bathrooms and a new kitchen installed. There is also A/C throughout.
The large kitchen has excellent facilities, plus there is an integral BBQ; giving great flexibility for both indoor and covered outdoor dining, plus the option of informal eating around the pool. Also, with some of the best restaurants you will ever experience close by, meal times are always a special occasion.

Just a short drive away is Alvor, a local fishing village where you can buy supplies at the fish and meat market or experience the extensive range of cuisine offered by the many restaurants within the old town. There is always live evening entertainment, plus other night life.

In terms of activities, you are well placed to explore all the water sports (at the beach or at the water parks), and land based activities including golf, cycling, auto sports (F1, World Super bikes etc) plus go-karting and track days, and even sky diving. Alternatively, why not take a mountain walking or step back in time to visit local castle, ruins, churches etc. There is also a zoo close by.
There are indoor/outdoor games to be played at the villa. Or ... just lounge by the pool, read a books or view one of the DVDs provided. Great wifi means all internet services are readily available.

Lovely villa
Spacious for 4 adults. Pool was lovely, if a bit cold in October. You need a car but there are things to do fairly nearby and the larger supermarkets well stocked.

Friends Holiday!
This villa was absolutely perfect for us and had everything we needed. Simon was very friendly and accommodating throughout the whole booking process and during our stay. Great peaceful location, not overlooked at all and only a 20-25 minute drive down to some really lovely beaches! Will absolutely be recommending this villa to friends and family!

Amazing private villa with a great pool
We stayed at this villa for 5 nights in August 2023 and everyone had a great time. Our teenagers loved the pool table and wifi of course. The villa is very well maintained, modern, spacious, and has a great pool. We also appreciated the privacy during our stay. Thank you Simon.

Fabulous Villa
I have stayed in a fair few villas over the years and this is one of the best ones ! Set in a large plot, plenty of parking up the driveway. Gardens surrounding the villa are mature and offer privacy. I stayed here with my parents and my two grown up kids, so there was plenty of room with the four bedrooms for everyone to have their own space. Fully air conditioned which was needed in the 35 degree heat we had during our stay! Refurbished new Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. Comfortable beds and sofas. I would second the previous reviewer that the front bedrooms do need some darker curtains or blinds to keep out the sun. About a 15 min drive to Alvor which was our favourite as much less rowdy than Portimao! Also sampled the great local restaurants. Simon the owner and Lena the property manager were brilliant to attend to the couple of issues that we had during our stay. We have already booked again for next year!

Family Fun
Our family of 2 adults and 3 teens enjoyed our stay at Casa Lucile. The kids loved the pool. There was enough room to spread out. Everything we needed was here. Easy to get to the beach towns. My only advice to the owners would be to invest in blinds or shades. The sun comes up early! Would stay here again.

Fabulous
The villa is absolutely gorgeous. It’s got everything you can need from games to kitchen equipment. Loads of space. The pool and outdoor area is fabulous for relaxing, chatting, eating lunch etc. the garden is beautiful and it’s so nice to be surrounded by lovely plants. Booking was smooth, the instructions are great and the place was spotlessly clean. There were several houses under construction around the area, a couple of which did create a lot of noise during the day. This was really unfortunate because we did book this place to relax by a pool, but it’s not something the owner can do anything about. We went out every afternoon but the mornings were somewhat disrupted! Once those closer houses are complete, it would be a tranquil haven, I’m sure.
