I was hesitant to write this review because, after our five night stay at Casa bom Porto in the most excellent beach town of Praia da Luz, my friends and I wanted to keep this great discovery to ourselves!
My friends and I have been planning a trip to the Algarve for years. After spending a lot of time online researching beach towns and places to stay in them, we all decided that Praia da Luz would be our town and that Casa bom Porto would be our place to stay. I can say that after our stay, we could not have better choices!
The town of Praia da Luz, for us, was the perfect balance of just enough something to do and just enough nothing to do but to relax and take in the beach and ocean, which is pretty much makes up your backyard at Casa bom Porto. From the very start, the owners of the Villa (not sure if it's cool to use their names here) were friendly, professional, and very accommodating. They made the booking and check-in processes and whiz. Their property manager Blaire was professional and responsive, but we didn't need his services much as the property is immaculate, truly well cared for, and exactly what you see in the photos. The villa is located next to the beach (a clean sandy beach that we felt we owned at sun up and sun set) with the classic small beach town just an easy 3-4 minute walk from your door.
I can't say enough good things about the villa, it's owners and staff, and the small town that the property is a part of. Our stay at the Casa bom Porto was truly the highlight of our Algarve visit and I will be back as soon as my suntan fades.
