Accessibility
Once inside the property you'll notice that it's all on one level with no stairs in the interior, which makes it suitable for children and for those who are less mobile. It is possible to enter the villa via the steps at the front of the house or via the pool area which avoids the stairs.
We have wi-fi and the mobile phone signal is good.
The dining room/conservatory (seating 6) is adjacent to the kitchen for those times when you don't feel like dining al fresco on the terrace. There’s also a good selection of board games so you don’t get bored.

Small children will need supervision at all times in the pool as it is 1.3 meters (4 ft 10 inches deep, with only a small shallow end). It measures 7.6 metres (23 ft) in length, and 5 metres (15.3ft) across the round part. The pool is too shallow for diving. Our house manager visits twice weekly to maintain it.

Leave ReviewA piece of heaven on earth
By Sven Wieland on 30-May-2025This was our second stay at this beautiful house – and once again, it was absolutely wonderful. This time we came with our oldest daughter and her boyfriend, and it was the perfect setting for a relaxed and memorable family holiday. The house is not only spotlessly clean and well-equipped, but also full of charm and warmth. You can feel that it’s a place that’s been created with care. Whether enjoying long breakfasts on the terrace or simply taking in the fantastic panoramic view – it’s a home that invites you to slow down and breathe. Thank you once again for your hospitality and for making us feel so welcome. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

We’ll be back for sure 😎
Perfect oasis of calm! 25/09 - 05/10.
By Cathy & Tony on 25-Sep-2024If you want to get away from it all and relax in perfect surroundings then this is the place for you. On arrival we were met by Fatima and Jimmy who showed us around the beautiful large villa. The villa has everything you could possibly need for a holiday. The weather was brilliant while we were there so we spent most of our time on the enormous pool terrace relaxing ,reading ,swimming and enjoying the odd glass of the local wine.. We can’t comment on things to do in the area as apart from grocery shopping and the odd meal out we never left! That probably says it all. Great communication from the owner Debbie and her on site team. Go you won’t regret it.
Perfect Villa and wonderful host
By Katy Fernandes on 14-Aug-2024We had an amazing 12 days at Casa Lia. Our children (aged 4 and 7) absolutely loved the pool as did we! The villa is really clean, comfortable and spacious. It was very well equipped which made our holiday very easy. It was a nice touch to have the villa cleaned and sheets changed etc halfway through. It is so private and peaceful there, it makes a perfect place to escape. Debbie the owner is incredibly helpful, communicative and friendly. I really can’t think of anything negative to say! Would definitely recommend. Worth noting that you should only stay there if you’re comfortable with the c15 minute drive to get to town/shops etc (which we were). Tavira is a lovely town with nice places to eat and we enjoyed the evening entertainment in the main square that was on throughout the summer.
Great week in a lovely villa!
By Max Kelly on 20-Jul-2024The villa is secluded and in a lovely location. It was just my wife and I staying and we completely relaxed. The villa has lovely views of the countryside, with the sea in the distance. We spent lots of time by the pool, reading and generally feeling like we'd found a little oasis.
Simply perfect !
By Philippa Cook on 24-Jun-2024We have stayed in many properties and loved every one of them but there was something very special with this property; the owner and housekeeper. The whole experience was fantastic from beginning to end. Great communication; clean, well equipped property in a stunning location and everything you needed with no hiccups. From swimming pool towels to beach equipment and from herbs and spices to fly covers for food! These were especially useful while we waited for the langoustines to defrost ! Our daughter , who is now nearly 30 has autism and severe learning difficulties and I have never seen her so relaxed on holiday. Thank you Debbie et al for making our holiday just perfect. I could go on for ages but just go and stay here and experience it for yourselves.......
