We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect holiday (our first family holiday with our baby!). The villa was beautiful, spacious, safe and so well equipped. The views were beautiful!
The pool was perfect for us to play in and our baby to swim! The bbq area was stunning!
It’s quite a steep walk back from town but was no problem at all.
Val was super helpful- as always, especially given corona!
Thanks as always!

We have used Valgarve for our summer holiday in Praia da Luz for the last 4 years and have been very satisfied with both the service at home and In Praia da Luz.

The area is very pretty and picturesque, people are very friendly and the bars and restaurants are fantastic and reasonably priced.

We stayed at a different villa this year - Smilia ..... , it was beautiful, lovely pool and all you could wish for.In fact we have already booked it for 2020.

WOW Villa Smilia was just absolutely beautiful, we all thoroughly enjoyed our holiday there. The weather was glorious and needless to say we all loved the swimming pool. We will definitely like to stay there again. Thank you also for arranging taxi transfers.

JULY 2019
We had a lovely 10 days at Casa Smilia. The villa is beautiful, very clean and has great facilities - My three year old son particularly loved the swimming pool, especially the bubble seat. The location was perfect as well - We did hire a car for going back and forth to the beach in the day, but then we walked to the restaurants in the evening so a car is definitely not essential. I can't recommend Val enough. I have now stayed in three of her properties and she has been extremely helpful, and even sorted out transfers and car hire, Thank you again for another fantastic holiday.

We had a wonderful time this year at Cassa Smilla as we did last year.
Villa first class, swimming pool excellent..   This year we took my mum with us, she couldn't get over how beautiful the villa and swimming pool were, also how wonderful Praia Da Luz is.   We found Praia Da Luz more Covid aware than at home, so we felt more safe and secure with actions taken.    Val and Jacqui were their normal helpful and happy selves.

• Lovely villa is a nice location just above Luz. High enough to be out of the bustle of the main town but not so high as to be caught in the winds at the top of the hill
• Was lovely and peaceful when we were
• The villa feels very safe and secure. Locked gates for car and pedestrian access. Electric shutters on all windows and very high-tech alarm system (which we didn’t use 😊)
• The interior of the villa is lovely; very functional with good living spaces and a well-equipped kitchen (coffee machine, wine fridge)
• There is a washing machine, ironing board etc. in the laundry area
• The owners apparently live here from mid Sept - mid April  and it is obvious that they take pride in their property and have lots of really nice touches and details (lovely artwork, lighting in all the right places, memory foam mattress toppers etc.)
• Two of the bedrooms are en-suite (showers, no bath). The third bedroom is a little small but would be fine for kids.
• No air conditioning in the rooms (which is fine by me!) but also no mosquito nets on the windows so if you open windows and shutters to keep the air moving then the mosquitos could be a minor problem
• Outside this villa is an absolute winner! A large s-facing covered terrace runs out to the pool area. This covered area is fantastic as it allows shade during the day for those who don’t want the full sun but they are still very much in the same place as those who are in the sun by the pool. There is a large dining table in the covered area so lunch in the shade is not a problem and there is a lovely sheltered seating area so evenings out until late are not a problem. The exterior lighting in the evening is also nice and subtle.
• The pool is salt water, which is nice, but it really isn’t an avid  swimmer’s pool. 
• The BBQ area is also fantastic. A proper functional BBQ with sink and work-surfaces. Nice and sheltered so BBQs are an option even on breezy evenings
• The villa is all on one level with wide doorways so would certainly be wheelchair friendly. The shower in the main bathroom should be wheelchair accessible

Finally, the internet connection is amazing! Full 300mb download and 100mb upload. That coupled with a full mobile and 4G signal (the mast is on the roundabout at the bottom of the road) means that any

JULY 2022  We were super lucky to spend 9 glorious days at Villa Smilia. Val was incredibly helpful with the booking arrangements including our taxi transfer and we were welcomed by Jacqui who worked hard so we could check in a couple of hours early. 
The villa , pool and terrace are beautiful and the photos do not really do justice as this is a spacious plot with a fabulous sea view.
Villa Smilia is so clean, spacious and well equipped and having pool towels was another plus. We opted not to hire a car on this occasion and if you are reasonably fit and healthy you can walk downhill to the beach in 10/15 mins but it is a steep walk back and taxis are thin on the ground so pre book!
Jacqui gave us lots of helpful information including Baptitsa supermarket who deliver free of chage. There was ample choice for the days that we enjoyed the villa with the great outside BBQ kitchen. 
 
We had a wonderful break and would certainly return to this little Gem.
