The kitchen is ready for a renewal.

The pool, the lounge and the garden really made it a little paradise, an Oasis 5 minutes away from Lagos city centre.

Previous guests have mentioned the occasional waft from the local water treatment works, and the barking dogs in an adjacent farm, but these didn't really worry us or keep us awake at night. Kitchen equipment was adequate, though this area could benefit from a bit of a face-lift.

The villa was spacious, extremely comfortable and well-maintained, set in a lawned garden with palm trees. private pool and sheltered outdoor bar with brick-built charcoal barbecue. The whole property was discreetly screened to afford privacy for guests, and Eduardo himself was always available on the phone to answer queries and immediately attend to any problems, of which there were few.

There was a small track down to the villa's as the road wasn't finished and the uber cars would not go down. But overall great place, perfect for families. Pool was really good and loads of space.

Access track main road to Villa could be improved for small low vehicle access.

Quiet rural location with normal countryside noises, all cooking and day to day utensils for our stay. Extensive own private gardens with private pool for sole use. Lagos a few minutes away by car.

The only bad thing was the location. Lagos is a small place, so it was around 10 minutes by uber to the city center. Doesn't cost more than 5 to 6 euros However the location was a bit remote and not many shops and eateries around. Uber was quite easily available but sometimes shows wrong location. The approaching road has very few lights and quite dark at night.

Lovely villa with all necessary amenities. The pool was beautiful,clean. There were lounging chairs and umbrellas. Excellent stay overall. It was spacious, nice shower and bathtub, very clean. The beds were comfortable.

Very nice villa with a lot of privacy, a great pool and barbecue area, very kind hosts, comfortable beds. We enjoyed a relaxing stay not far away from Lagos and the best beaches of the Algarve.

Nearby Dogs barking at various times of day and night. This is not the fault of the owner its just inconsiderate dog owners within hearing distance.

I liked everything. Villa is very private. Beds are the most comfortable I have had in Portugal. Villa was a little further out of the town than I realised but as I had a car this was not a problem.

Villa 1 doesn't have an oven (although it looks like the other two do) so bear that in mind. I think an oven does make self-catering a bit easier. Also do keep the windows and doors shut; being so rural you will want to keep insects outside. But we would absolutely stay here again.

We were in Villa 1 which has an absolutely beautiful garden. It's so great to be in a rural setting while so close to the town centre. Uber taxis made it so easy to get around, although we did have a hired car too, which I'd recommend for going to the supermarket. Not the most modern interior but we spent most of our time enjoying the outdoor and lovely swimming pool. Every member of staff we spoke to was a delight. And the barbecue is fantastic.

Generally all better since my last visit in 2019 eg: water bottles x 2 on arrival, Ice in Freezer, other previous guests leftovers eg: salt, pepper, oil vinegar, herbs spices very useful! Only tiny complaint was lack of good quality toilet paper or toilet paper enough for holiday duration.

Location for new arrivals with no car maybe challenging but embrace the challenge with comfortable trainers, a brisk 20 minute walk into the marina/ centre on a challenging highway but if your calm and relaxed it's do able!

Nothing, we were super happy with everything.

From the moment we arrived to Dana's warm welcome and big friendly smile it set us up for a wonderful week in Casa Paula Villas , everything was amazing from the outdoor bbq, to the old style stone pizza oven, to the beautiful fresh water pool , and friendly fish in our pond to the pomegranate trees in the garden and the beautiful villa itself. Location was excellent we seemed to be a 5 minute drive from everything we wanted to do and see. We would definitely recommend staying in Casa Paula Villas , and would definitely stay there again. Thanks Eduardo for texting beforehand with directions on how to get to the villa and thanks to Dana for such a lovely welcome ye made our first trip in Portugal a memorable one 😀

For the price, it would have been nice to have some 'kitchen basics' (e,g, salt/pepper/cooking oil, and some charcoal for the BBQ) provided. Plastic fruit and onions not very useful!! Some of the kitchen utensils were poor quality. Shower temperature control was poor. There was noisy little dog at the end of the lane which was annoying at night, sometimes for long periods.

The design of the garden and pool, with total privacy, was great. Very well-tended garden. Loads of space both indoors and out. Plenty of comfortable seating, and comfortable beds. Good strong wifi.

the villa is beautiful, spacious and has everything you need for your stay. really close to town too. really enjoyed our stay and was the villa offered the opportunity to really unwind. instructions were clear on check in / check out making the whole process really easy and communication from the owners was good.

Best word to describe Casa Paula is “Oasis”. Big property with plenty of space, great pool, barbecue facilities and immaculate garden. Rustic style with appropriate decor. A place that makes you forget the day and hour and that’s how we felt here.

Really great property, short car ride from Lagos, which is a lovely resort

The lock on the front door jammed on one of the days and we could not get into the villa. Contacted Dana and the on site caretaker and they were very helpful and helped us get back in even though it was outside of standard hours.

We chose Casa Paula for the first part of our honeymoon and right from day 1 loved it. As mentioned each villa comes with a pool. This pool is a proper private pool and of a good size. Upon arrival Dana was there to meet us and help us settle in and show us around, explained the local area and was always available for advice and help via her WhatsApp. The property also has a on site caretaker that lives near the Villa and can be contacted in case of any issues. A word of advice to others, public transport isn't readily available so it is useful to either have a hire car or uber app. I found uber a lot easier to use than the local taxis with them coming to the exact location on the map and the prices being fixed prior to the journey so you agree on a price and wont reach your destination and be overcharged as was the case when I used a local taxi. Also the public transport in Portugal is much cheaper than in the UK, and you can easily head out for a day trip to albufeira if you want a change of scenery from the Lagos town centre.

Its not the most modern flat but we were looking for a traditional style house so it was perfect for us.

I stayed in Casa Paula for a week with my wife and would recommend for a couple or two couples sharing. We loved the pool and BBQ. It really is 5mins door-to-door from Lagos centre (where there was lots of parking), which we really liked (good restaurants, has everything you need for a weeks stay). The hosts were really easy to contact and live on site for problems/check-in/out. Perfect location for South and West Coast Beaches.
