Lagos, Faro District
Casa Catorze is an exceptional villa , located in one of the most beautiful areas of the Algarve. The villa is situated on the exclusive Albadeira Park and is well suited for holidays for family groups up to 8-10. A car is not essential with all attractions within walking distance or a short taxi ride. The villa is set in private grounds and offered with a modern layout over 3 floors. On the first floor there is a double with en-suite and 2 twin rooms sharing a family bathroom. A large double with en-suite on the ground floor. A twin room and en-suite a-joining the games room on the lower ground floor. An open-plan living room and dining area, lead out to the terrace and private pool area. The well equipped kitchen provides access to the outside dining area and built-in BBQ. Outside steps lead to the roof terrace with great views. The villa is air-conditioned throughout and has underfloor heating to take the chill out of winter evenings.
We had a fun holiday but the Villa was disappointing. It needed some serious Maintanance attending to and it wasn’t as described on listing. The pictures were obviously from some time ago. Communication with the owners after the holiday resulted in no compensation.
Had a great family holiday, lovely property. Beach a very walkable distance but really need a car to get down to Lagos
Overall we were left disappointed despite the villa being lovely on the face of it and the trip having great potential. Villa is really nice, very spacious and has everything you could want. However air conditioning didn’t work in two of the bedrooms, which rendered them unusable for sleeping in as we were advised to keep shutters and curtains closed so temperatures were unbearable. Despite reporting on the first day it took half of our holiday to get fixed - local arrangements seemed ad hoc. Few other niggles which gave the impression that the villa isn’t hugely looked after. Great location though, Lagos is lovely.
Stay was good, property was good, clean and basically as advertised. Errors in check-in email on WiFi and air con didn’t work everywhere … so a few small niggles. Overall ok
We all had a great time the pool was a good size and the kids enjoyed playing with the games in the basement
Would be better with a car
We were 2 families staying for approx 2 weeks in this fantastic villa. The villa itself lives up to its online billing. Very clean, spacious and with a very good pool. Lagos town 15min walk away, with all the bars and restaurants you would need. Bit of a climb uphill back but plenty of cheap Taxi/Uber services to take you home in the evening if you didn’t have a car like us. Host could take 1-2 days to respond to questions/requests but always responded eventually. In short would highly recommend this villa to anyone considering holidaying in Lagos or environs.
We had a fantastic week at this excellent villa. There were only 5 of us and we had so much space. The villa is very well equipped with everything we needed. The bedrooms are large and beds are comfortable. Bathrooms/showrooms are lovely with good water pressure and never a shortage of hot water. The pool was heated, there were 6 sun loungers, and a table with plenty chairs for outside dining. The pool area did get extremely hot in the direct sunlight, but there is a parasol and areas where shade can be sought. We spent most of our daytime at the excellent beaches in the area, especially Meia Praia which is fabulous. We walked into Lagos each evening, which is about 15-20 minutes and mostly downhill. There are so many great restaurants there. Taxi or Uber back was maximum of €10, usually nearer €8 for the 5 of us. Bill was a fantastic host; he was very responsive and gave us some great information.
The villa was clean and comfortable with a very well maintained heated pool, nice outdoor spaces to relax, the villa benefits from a lovely sunny garden during the day but there is always the possibility to find shade if required. Table tennis for the kids a real plus in the basement!
A great house for families with everything you'd need including high chairs, travel cot, toys, books, dvds, table tennis, table football, wii and a fab swimming pool with some inflatables. The villa is very private and not overlooked and 3 of the rooms look out onto the balcony and pool . All rooms had plenty of storage with big wardrobes. We were glad not to be using the room in the 'basement' next to the games room as it didn't have much natural light and was full of flies . We walked to the beach, using our pushchair for the 3year old, in 10-15 minutes and ate at the beach bars towards town. Good food, friendly staff. The villa was definitely a plus for ease of access to beach and was a reasonable journey on foot to the town. We had a car and visited a few other towns in the area as well as do the shopping. The fish market was interesting but we picked up delicious prawns at the supermarkets too. One gripe is that no 'welcome pack' was left and we arrived at about 11pm with no milk / bread/basics. Not easy with small child. The villa had very few what I'd call 'nice touches' such as soap, beach towels, general toiletries, basic cooking ingredients such as pepper and oil. There were only a couple of dishwasher tablets and no washing powder. We left quite a lot and hope that the next people were able to benefit from those. All other villas I have used supplied more of these and it goes a long way towards making your visitors feel more welcome. Gripes over, a very nice villa in a good position.
