Charming Villa with Heated Pool & Large Garden near Sandy Beach, Hiking and Golf

Casa da Figueira is a beautiful 3-bedroom traditional Portuguese villa with a large private pool (which can be heated), gorgeous mature tropical gardens, and an extensive fruit tree collection located 100 meters from the beach. Discrete housekeeping services, including extremely thorough cleaning between clients, are provided by Amelia. Amelia can also help with any assistance or questions you have during your stay. In the spring of 2024 Casa da Figueira switched to solar for electricity and water heating. As a result the pool is heated year round.

Casa da Figueira is only a 3 min easy walk from a beautiful large sandy beach, a lovely village, excellent restaurants, and several cliffs with nature trails for hiking or biking. It is also located less then 100 m from the famous Rota Vincentina coastal hike and is within an hour drive from 15 wineries and over 40 golf courses. Portugal has been named Europe's 'Best Golf Destination'. It is truly your private paradise!

Casa da Figueira is the perfect vacation resort for a relaxing holiday. A fantastic location for a private honeymoon, a group of friends, or for a family get together. There is plenty of room for children to play and adults to relax and enjoy the pool, garden and orangerie. With 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms the villa can accommodate up to eight people. A crib and high chair are available free of charge if you bring a baby.

Casa da Figueira has nicely decorated living and dining rooms, a fully equipped newly remodeled kitchen, free wireless internet, satellite TV, air-conditioning and heating systems, fireplace, and two covered and one open terrace that provide shade and excellent locations for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Two French doors open from the dining & living rooms to one of the covered terraces and walled-in private pool area which is only for you, your family or friends to enjoy. The pool is 1m deep on the shallow end and 2m 20cm on the deep end. It is over 10 meters long and 5.6 meters wide. The pool can be heated for an extra weekly fee. This might be needed in spring and fall. In the hot summer months the pool stays warm from the sunshine alone. Lazy pool chairs are available for your enjoyment. The front door opens to a covered terrace ideal for breakfast in the sun, connected to a large private courtyard where your children can play all kinds of ball sports. A winding pathway enters a lush enclosed tropical garden with a beautiful fountain and a collection of unique flowers, cacti, and as well as apple and pear trees. The orangerie is in the back of the house and has mature fruit trees such as lemons, mandarins, oranges and persimmon.

The fig tree, which has delicious ripe fruit in the summer, gave the house it's name: Casa Figueira. It stands in the middle of the large yard surrounded by palm trees and an olive tree. The yard is completely surrounded by a tall beautiful white wall with gates that can be locked. This makes it an ideal location to bring little children who'll have plenty of secure room to play.

The newly renovated kitchen with plenty of counter top space has everything you need to prepare delicious dinners and clean up afterwards. The kitchen opens to a third courtyard with build-in barbecue/fire pit and large dining table.

You are welcome to enjoy all the fruit when it is ripe. In addition we plant an annual herb garden with a wide variety of herbs that the clients are also welcome to use when cooking.

From the front courtyard a 70 meters private walkway brings the guests to a very quite cobblestone road. Walk this secure Parque da Praia narrow road for 250 meters (just a couple minutes) and you'll arrive at the lovely large sandy beach.

The living room is connected to the dining room and has a fireplace that you are welcome to use. There is a terras near the pool and the front door opens to another covered terrace where we love to have our breakfast and see the sun rise over the hill.

There are three bedrooms in Casa Figueira that can accommodate up to 8 people. The main bedroom has a king size bed, a large wardrobe and dresser as well as an antique desk. This bedroom connects into a beautifully renovated private bathroom with a large bathtub and Portuguese sink. A second large bedroom has a smaller double bed as well as a twin-size bed and a large build-in wardrobe. A third bedroom has three twin-size beds and a large build-in wardrobe. It also has a new private sink. This is an ideal room for a family with many children. In addition to the main bathroom which has a bathtub, there are two additional newly renovated bathrooms in the hallway, both with large showers.

Casa da Figueira’s majestic fig tree (which gave the villa its name) stands in the middle of the large yard surrounded by palm trees, an olive tree and many other tropical plants and cacti. A beautiful fountain made of river and beach stones makes this the ideal location for a relaxing afternoon.

The kitchen door opens to a third courtyard with a build-in open fire barbecue pit and a beautiful large table that can seat up to 10 people. Charcoal can be bought at the local Baptista grocery store. Behind the courtyard is the Orangerie with lemon, orange, clementine, persimmon and pear trees. The guests are welcome to enjoy the fruit when it is ripe. In the front of the house we have several large pots with a wide variety of herbs that you are also welcome to use when cooking.

On weekdays Amelia, our amazing housekeeper of over 25 years, provides exceptional daily housekeeping services. Towels are changed twice/week and linen once a week or when you ask. Amelia makes you feel welcome and immediately at home and can help you with your laundry. Amelia will be able to provide friendly help and assistance as needed. Feel free to leave her a tip if happy with her services.

The pool is cleaned and the yard is taken care of once/week by Tandy and his team. He normally comes on Thursday. So that day might be a good time to make an excursion.

Exclusive Privacy: Casa da Figueira will be only yours for the week: you will be the only tourists there when you rent it, no-one else is allowed on the secure property except with your permission. We do want to keep the property in exceptional condition year-round.

There are plenty of opportunities to dine in Praia da Luz. Our favorite restaurant is called Onda Luz Restaurant and is located right when you enter the village of Luz and walking distance from Casa da Figueira. It looks plain and simple from the outside, but the food is just delicious and the service great. Ask for cataplana. Near the beach in Praia da Luz, also walking distance, try out the renovated 16th century Fortaleza or try one of the many restaurants adjacent to Praia da Luz church or on the beautiful promenade.

The Algarve is a highly regarded year-round golfing destination, a true golfer’s paradise. There are over 25 fabulous golf courses in the Algarve with others under development. Several of them are close to Casa Figueira. The closest one is just up the road (5min drive) called BoaVista at the entrance of Luz.

The best way to get to Casa da Figueira in Luz is to fly to either Lisbon or Faro (airport in the Algarve). Lisbon is a 3 hour drive to Casa da Figueira and Faro is a 1 hour drive to Casa da Figueira. Both journeys are very scenic and on excellent highways. There is an express bus and a train connection between Lisbon or Faro and Lagos if you prefer. Once in Luz everything is walking distance: beach, shops (local grocery store delivers at home), restaurants, hiking.

Lagos is a historic town about a 10 min drive from Luz. Lagos is accessible from Praia da Luz with an easy 20 min Onda bus ride Linha 4. Lagos has a refreshing, relaxing charm with lots of cozy restaurants, many bars, live music, local art shops and an active marina. A daily fresh fish market, weekly vegetable market and monthly flee market provide unique charm to the city. In fact there are many flee markets where you can find great treasures in towns all across the Algarve. There are also plenty of opportunity to explore the area. Here are a few half or full-day trips that I recommend. Walking or biking west of Praia da Luz on the nature trail adjacent to the cliffs gets you to Burgau, a working fishing village, and Salema with a beautiful beach. You can also make the scenic 2.5 hour hike from Casa da Figueira to Lagos.

Another half day trip is driving West of Praia da Luz towards the “End of the World”. About 30 km past Praia da Luz you reach Sagres with its Fortaleza which School of Vasco da Gama from where the Portuguese discovered half the world. A couple miles past the Sagres Fortaleza is Cape St Vincent which is the most westerly tip of Europe, called the “End of the world”. The coastline running North from Cape St Vincent is undeveloped and wildly beautiful. It faces onto the open ocean with nothing but the Azores between here and the East Coast of the United States.

The Algarve also has many award winning wines. About 15 wineries are located within 1 hour drive from Casa da Figueira. Many of the wineries provide wine making tours and/or wine tasting opportunities. North of the Algarve is Aljentejo, a region with many internationally known wines.

I am looking forward to help you make your holiday at Casa Figueira as wonderful and memorable as possible. We hope you enjoy your stay at Casa da Figueira!

Fabulous vacation rental
Absolutely gorgeous, authentic garden beach home. All amenities as advertised. We had a wonderfully relaxing experience steps from the beach, cliff-side hiking/running trails, and the picture perfect town of Luz. We have stayed in many vacation rentals and I dare say Casa da Figueira was our favorite.

Our fourth family trip to this perfect holiday oasis. It’s beautiful, near the beach and all amenities. Amelia is simply the best housekeeper, discreet and so helpful if needed and the Casa is kept in perfect order. It’s very rare you will find something so special you keep returning, but, for us, this is the place.

Wonderful villa in Luz
Casa de Figueria was perfect. I only wish we had more than 3 days bc enjoy it. Plenty of room for me, my wife, two boys, and 80 yr old dad. Garden and lemon trees were great. I paid extra for pool heating and that was a great choice. The kids stayed in the pool for hours (the air temp was a tad chilly - low 60s but the water was plenty warm). We stayed on the weekend so only met Amelia at check out on Monday morning. But the place was immaculate on arrival and we managed just fine doing our own laundry. Oh - the garage space for a rental car was good to have as well. Easy walk to beach, restaurants, and supermarkets.

Fabulous property
This is an amazing villa in the beautiful touristic town of Praia da Luz. The house is super charming and the gardens are beautiful. There is a ton of space and everything is kept in great condition. Amelia is the housekeeper and she comes daily to clean and take care of the house. She is super nice and is there to help with anything needed. The location is prime with only a short walk to the beach, restaurants, cafes, etc. I absolutely recommend booking this property if you are lucky to find it available. Next time I am booking a longer stay here... two days are definitely not enough to enjoy it!

Most incredible vacation rental ever
This rental must be seen to really absorb what an incredible property it is. My 20- something son and daughter are still gushing over it, as are we. The grounds are filled with walkways and beautiful gardens, lime trees, flowers galore, and so much space and privacy. It looks like a beautiful painting so we all took many photos while there just to capture the colors and design of it all. The bedrooms are enormous, pool is pristine and heated if you choose, there is a large amount of outdoor furniture to enjoy family meals outside as well as padded lounge chairs for reading and relaxing after a swim. We just could not get over the huge new kitchen and all the books to choose from. In short, this is paradise. I hope to get back to Algarve so we can stay here again. There is simply nothing that compares and we have rented many properties for trips as a family. The owner is available to communicate with at all times and the housekeeper Amelia does all of your laundry and dishes for you. I could go on and on. This is heaven. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Luz Home and Pool!!!
My family and I stayed at Casa da Figueira recently for 5 nights and we had a wonderful experience. The home is well located near the Praia da Luz (a 5 - 10 minute walk) as well as near many restaurants and shops in the charming (and less crowded!) beach town of Luz. Amelia, the on site housekeeper, took wonderful care of doing our laundry, making the beds, and generally making our stay memorable. The pictures of the home are very accurate, and the pool and grounds are impressive and very well maintained. We ate out every lunch and dinner, so we only used the well stocked kitchen for breakfast and feeding our 8 month old granddaughter (high chair and crib available). We would highly recommend Casa da Figueira for families and/or couples who want a relaxing vacation escape close to a beach with a wonderful pool as well as beautiful grounds and landscaping. Casa da Figueira is truly a paradise found in the Algarve.

Absolutely Beautiful Property
Where do I start.....this property is amazing. Pictures do not do it justice. The entire place inside and out was spotless, old world charm. The pool area was immaculate and much needed after a long day of exploring. What a treat to pick fresh lemons from the lemon trees right outside the kitchen and bbq in the outdoor grill. Amelia was a delight and took very good care of us. She was lovely! The property is very private, and is a short walk to the beach and numerous restaurants. We have been to many VRBO properties and Sophie is by far the best host we have had. Welcoming, clear property instructions and quick to answer any emails or questions we had. Praia da Luz is a must see and wouldn't be complete without a stay at this spectacular property!!!! Thank you from our group of 6 for making this a very memorable vacation!!

Fantastic villa
We have been renting villas in the Algarve over the last 10 years and this is by far the best we’ve had.Amelia was amazing, plentiful supply of clean towels and bedding changed twice during our stay.We had a problem with the water supply during our first week when the local council turned all the water to the villa off but Amelia was as able to communicate with them and sort out a temporary fix which lasted for our stay. Unfortunately she wasn’t able to get us English TV which normally wouldn’t have bothered us but would have liked to watch the coverage of Queen Elizabeth’s passing. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend villa to all our friends and family.

This property is amazing. It’s quiet , private and close to everything you need. You can walk everywhere. Amelia is wonderful. We didn’t have a car for most of the time we spent at the house. We rented a car in Luz for 3 days to see the rest of the Algarve. So many restaurants within a five minute walk. We loved our stay and hopefully we will return soon.

Property was stunningly beautiful. I would and have recommended it as a place to stay for my family. 3 minute walk to the beach on cobblestones and the restaurants were in the same area and the food was delicious.

5 stars is not enough!!!
If anything , we overbooked our day trips, Which limited our time at this very special villa. What a luxury, though, to come home to a sparkling house with our laundry done! Housekeeper Amelia is a wonderful bonus to this stellar accommodation and I would recommend it to anyone. The house is charming and comfortable with a top notch kitchen, and the grounds are beautifully laid out with mature, diverse plantings from the orangerie to cacti and palms. Sigh. We just left and I can’t wait to go back!
