Sehr schönes Ferienhaus in sehr ruhiger Lage

Wir haben 3 wunderschöne Wochen in dem Ferienhaus verbracht. Das Haus ist bestens ausgestattet. Es fehlt an nichts. Die Außenterrasse mit Blick in die Berge ist traumhaft. Außer die Geräusche von Bienen am Morgen und Grillen am Abend, liegt das Ferienhaus abgelegen und ruhig. Wir haben uns super erholt und wohlgefühlt. Sehr empfehlenswert, wir kommen wieder.

Wunderschönes Ferienhaus

Wir haben im Casa Luar 2 wunderschöne/ruhige Wochen verbracht. Das Haus liegt ländlich ruhig, aber doch zentral, die nächsten großen Städte erreicht man in 10-15 Minuten, die traumhaften Strände in 20-30 Minuten. Der Pool war für die Kinder perfekt. Sehr netter Kontakt zur Vermieterin.

Ideal location for a family get away

We liked the house and the location, although in the countryside it is quite central and all major Algarve sightseeing spots and beaches are easily accessible. A car is essential. You might need extra fans if the weather is too hot.

Perfect retreat after a long beach day

We loved our stay in this classic villa, there is a lot of outside space which we used to the max. Really enjoyed the BBQ and the pool, perfect for our three year old. Of course the setting is quite remote, takes 20 minutes by car to get to the beach, but this did not bother us since the house was so nice and the view was breathtaking. Really nice owners too, we had good communication for example about the umbrellas that did not fit. Cassandra arranged a new umbrella for us within a day and drove by herself to bring it to us. Would definitely recommend!

Entre 2 colines

Nous avons séjourné une semaine sur la période du mois d'Août. La location corresponds aux photos de l'annonce, le descriptif est exact a ce que nous avons eu lors de notre séjour. La maison est placé en hauteur, calme et paysage sont au rendez-vous. Vous êtes tranquille. Les extérieur sont agréable, la piscine fait sont job surtout en cette période extrêmement chaude. L'intérieur de la maison est bien pensé pour passer dans l'ensemble un bon séjour et des petits détails fond plaisir surtout quand on a un bébé (lit de voyage, chaise haute, jeux de plage et parasol). Néanmoins pas mal de petite chose sont a revoir et surtout à savoir: - L'eau est NON potable dans TOUTE la maison de la douche à la cuisine. - Absence de rideaux ou de volet occultant réveil assuré à 6h30 du matin (nous avons scotché des sacs poubelle noir en guise d'occultation) - Pendant la forte chaleur qu'on a eu, 46°C extérieur, l'intérieur de la maison était très étouffante 30°C dans la chambre ( température relevé par le Baby-phone de notre enfant). - Certains appareil ménager sont à changer comme le lave-linge ( Essorage 1 fois sur 2), le Frigo ( obligé de le faire tourné à fond pour avoir les denrées alimentaire et boissons fraîche ), Le sèche cheveux ne tient pas (sèche cheveux pliant). - PAS de micro-onde, pour chauffé les petits pots merci la vieille méthode du bain marie mais faut pas être pressé ni avoir bébé qui cri famine. - PAS de machine à café qui de nos jours est comme même très appréciée après un repas. - le sol de la douche est EXTREMEMENT glissant, nous avons dû acheter un tapis de douche. Malgré ses points négatif et l'utilisation de système D nous avons dans l'ensemble passée une bonne semaine de vacance avec notre enfant.

Schönes Haus im Hinterland

Das Haus liegt ca. 15 Kilometer hinter der Küste ruhig gelegen in einer idyllischen Gegend. Wer - wie wir - nicht nur am Strand liegen, sondern wandern will, für den ist der Standort ideal. Nach Silves, wo man Restaurants und Einkaufsgelegenheiten findet, sind es knapp 10 Minuten mit dem Auto. Das Haus ist sauber und sehr gut mit allem ausgestattet, was man für den Urlaub braucht. Die Anreise ist völlig unproblematisch, da die Vermieterinnen eine ausgeszeichnete Anreiseskizze übermitteln. Wir können das Haus nur weiterempfehlen.

Um sonho

A casa era exatamente o que procurávamos! Zona tranquila, vista sobre o campo, piscina agradável, alpendre encantador, casa espaçosa e muito bem decorada. Cozinha bem equipada. Jogos disponíveis para toda a família. Proprietária e responsável pela piscina impecáveis! O único senão é a ausência de cortinados blackout - os madrugadores acordam ainda mais cedo e a casa aquece. De resto perfeito!

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans la région. La location est conforme aux photos et aux commentaires. C'est une grande maison confortable, propre, lumineuse et tranquille. Elle a beaucoup de charme. Elle est très fonctionnelle. A l'extérieur, les terrasses, le mobilier de jardin et la piscine permettent de profiter du paysage, de se reposer, se rafraîchir en toute sérénité. Les propriétaires sont extrêmement accueillantes et répondent très rapidement à nos demandes. Un énorme merci! Quand nous reviendrons dans la région, nous retournerons dans cette location sans aucun souci. Nous la recommandons vivement.

Schöne Woche in Covid Zeiten

Nettes, recht großes Haus in ziemlich isolierter Lage, welches wir dank der ersten wieder abgehenden Flüge genießen konnten. Sehr gut eingerichtet und geschmackvoll. Mehrere Sitzmöglichkeiten rund ums Haus, kleiner Pool, den die Kinder sehr genossen haben, schöne Pflanzen, Garten ansonsten nicht ganz groß. Schöner Blick in die Umgebung, da auf einem Hügel gelegen. 15 Minuten bis Portimao oder Silves.

Komfortabel und idyllisch

Das Haus ist einfach wunderbar. Ruhig gelegen, mit einer sehr friedvollen Atmosphäre und tollem Ausblick in das umgebende Tal. Wer die Abgeschiedenheit liebt, bei Vogelgezwitscher frühstücken möchte, dazu alle Annehmlichkeiten eines gut ausgestatteten Hauses genießen will, der ist hier richtig! Leider fiel unser gebuchter Urlaub mitten in die Corona-Krise und auch Portugal hat wenige Tage nach unserer Ankunft sein öffentliches Leben komplett eingestellt. Wir haben auf Anraten des Auswärtigen Amtes unseren Urlaub dann vorzeitig abgebrochen. Der Kontakt mit den Vermieterinnen war sehr angenehm und sie haben uns für die nicht genutzte Zeit den kompletten Mietpreis zurück erstattet. Besser geht`s nicht! Vielen herzlichen Dank und wenn wir es einrichten können kommen wir nach überstandener Pandemie gerne noch mal wieder.

Maison très agréable, comme à la maison !

Une maison qui a du charme et une âme, tout le mobilier a été chiné et lui donne un caractère authentique. Deux terrasses très agréables pour profiter de l'ombre ou du soleil, au choix ! Très bien équipée, il y a tout ce qu'il faut. A 5 mn du charmant village de Silves avec son marché où l'on a trouvé de très bons produits locaux surtout le samedi matin. Bien située, à 20 mn de très belles plages et des villes sur la côte. A 30 mn de Monchique, joli village dans la montagne.

Country Retreat

We really enjoyed our stay. The home has everything we needed. It is out in the country and has lovely outdoor spaces. The water went off and our wonderful host came right up and showed us the proper button to push as the breaker had just flipped on the pump. She also dropped by with some delicious grapes from her vines. We got a chance to meet our neighbor. She was wonderful. My computer got stolen in the Madrid airport and she let me use her computer to try to track it down. No luck with that but we got to meet a very kind and helpful person. I recommend this home away from home.

About the host

Hosted by Cassandra Lemper

How did casa Luar start? In 2010 we 3 sisters bought the house where our family has lived in for a few years. As it is very spacious and on one level, we decided to prepare the house also for wheelchair users. This is how in Spring 2013 we started renting our Casa Luar, Moonshine house, and we hope to have created a place for everybody to relax and retreat from the crowded coast line. This is the perfekt location to spend your Summer holidays, or as a escape to the long cold northern winters.
