We had a family celebration at Casa Maurice. The age ranges were 10 - 82! The villa was absolutely perfect with plenty of space for everyone. The large pool and the games room were both a big hit. Highly recommend the brilliant built in BBQ too.
The booking was super easy and no request was too much for the hosts. Highly recommend!

Golden wedding celebrations- The best 17 days ever 😍
We have just recently stayed at Casa Maurice and had the most amazing holiday. We went for our golden wedding anniversary with our son and daughter and their families for ten nights, followed by another 7 nights with friends. The villa was absolutely perfect in every way, the pool was spotless and the games room was so much fun for not just the kids but the adults too. The villa was in a great location, a ten minute walk to the marina, 2 minutes from a local bar which was very friendly and a 15 minute walk to the beach. Chris and Jolie were very helpful and always there to query any questions. My family organised a surprise private chef and waiter with their help, which was a brilliant experience and the food was beautiful. We also took two boat trips out on Chris’s private boat with both parties, and had the best time ever. We docked at Alvor to paddle board and enjoy the beautiful scenery with food and drinks. We can not recommend this villa enough and can’t wait to return.

Amazing Villa Superb service from Chris the Owner
Having just got back from a 1 week family holiday staying at Casa Maurice' we can honestly say we cannot fault the villa one bit
This villa really does have the wow factor and tick all the boxes and we would highly recommend it to anyone. It was very clean, well cared for and very well equipped with every utensil thought of .
What was particularly good about this property was the service that I had from the owner Chris Bradfied who from the time of booking through to our arrival and stay gave us lots of useful information which was sent beforehand including details of how everything worked in the Villa to places to visit, restaurants, supermarkets etc .Whist we were there Chris was always at the end of the phone to help us with anything we needed .
The Villa has a huge heated swimming pool and large patio , lots of sunbeds where we were able to spend much of our time due to fabulous weather One thing i must mention which was wonderful was the sunshine is on the pool and patio all day so you really can make the most of the beautiful weather. With 3 teenagers to keep entertained the huge games room was fantastic which included table football, a pool table, table tennis and a darts board , we had great family fun in there most evenings
Location - It's approx a 10-15 min walk to a large supermarket and a further 5 mins to the bars and restaurants at the Marina .
Lagos is a wonderful place and we have been there twice a year for the past 20 years and don't feel the need to try anywhere else in Portugal as it is so perfect
Thank you Chris Bradfield for what was a wonderful holiday in your amazing Villa , we do hope you will have room for us next year !!!

Highly recommend this large, spacious villa with large pool
Thank you Chris Bradfield for another brilliant holiday at one of your fabulous villas. My husband and I stayed here with our two teenage sons and six of their friends, group verdict ‘mega’ holiday. Plenty of place to chill, relax and have fun. The pool is large and cleaned regularly. Games room huge and excellent for teens to hang out together. Easy access to the beach (short walk) via well marked path. 15 minute walk to Marina and Old Town (another 5 mins) no need for a car. Super local restaurant Bar Silva less than 5 mins from the villa. The owner again excels himself with his attentiveness to the client, the villa was supremely clean important during this period of Covid 19. Mini bus collected us all from the airport and provided the return again organised by Chris. As ever Chris responds to any of your questions and requests promptly. We booked the Nautigirl for an afternoon we enjoyed ourselves so much we booked again the following day ! This is our second year back at one of Chris’ villas and I know we will be back again, so I can only recommend if you are thinking about it, book it.

Fantastic Villa in Great Location
We stayed as a family of 8 at the villa in April.
Location - It's approx a 10-15 min walk to a large supermarket and a further 5 mins to the bars and restaurants at the Marina (there is a steep hill but a cab back is only around 5-7 euros). The town is another few mins on from the marina and has many eating and drinking places for all ages and preferences. It ws about an hour drive from Faro airport.
Villa - The villa itself is very well set out and kept to a high level of maintenance. The pool is large and maintained by the pool guy every couple of days. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with all of the pots and pans and utensils needed. The games room was a great addition and was well used due to a couple of bursts of rain! The 1st floor terrace was also a really nice place to sit anytime of the day.
We had a couple of questions and they were answered straight away by both Chris and Dinis who we found also very helpful with local information.

Perfect from start to finish
Stayed in Casa Maurice for a week from 11th August and as soon as you walk in you can’t help but go ‘Wow!’. All the bedrooms were a good size, the kitchen is very well equipped and the living area is so spacious. Outside it gets even better! The pool is a fantastic size, there’s plenty of room for 12 loungers plus a table and further chairs, and an in built brick bbq that got used as much as possible. Downstairs the games room had plenty to keep the kids(and very often the adults) entertained for hours. Perfect location for walking to the beach and into Lagos. The best part about the whole experience has to be Chris and his team. They will literally go out of their way to make sure your holiday is as perfect as can be. One word to sum it all up....... faultless.

Large, well-equipped villa in superb location
For a large family group this villa really does tick all the boxes. A beautiful pool and chairs to relax in, a well - appointed kitchen for cooking and a games room which included table football, a pool table, table tennis and a darts board.
Chris, the friendly owner, arranges punctual transfers to and from Faro airport in air conditioned cars and offers lots of advice on what to do locally, even taking three of our group for a navigational drive around town to point out things !
But perhaps the best feature of this villa is the location. Normally such lovely rentals are at least 2 - 3 miles outside a resort making car hire a necessity. Not Casa Maurice - a local shop (open 8:30 am - 7 pm) is 5 minutes walk, the large beach at Meia Praia has a short-cut to it and so can be reached in 10- 15 minutes, the marina at Lagos is a 15 minute walk (downhill !) and then it's another 5 minutes over the bridge from the marina into the fairly lively (but not rowdy) old town. There are numerous attractions which are very close. Examples : the high tree ropes venue (Parque Aventura) which is in the woods on the way over to the beach, they also offer paintball here. There is a water ski / wake park (Wake Salinas) which is on the main Faro road about 1.5 km from town, however there is a short cut by consulting a map. The marina contains several companies who offer boat trips. We enjoyed two which were both excellent. 'Days of Adventure' took us on kayaks through a series of caves to the West of Lagos and 'Happy Time' took us East on a rib / speedboat to some magnificent caves at Benagil, both highly recommended. The day before we departed a local family opened a tapas bar (Ztona) literally 150 yards from the villa with incredibly competitive drinks prices !
Use the local taxi company (00351282460610) and your options become wider. The drivers speak good English and are generally very friendly. The town can be reached for 5 euro's but between 6 pm - 8 pm they can be very busy so you might need to consider the downhill walk into town for an evening meal ? Other times are fine though. There is a train station next to the marina and a bus station on the other side of the marina. We took snapshots on our phones of their timetables and used them a couple of times but the regularity of public transport is a little sporadic ! Our favourite trip was to Carvoneiro. (train to Lagoa then taxi) A wonderful small town with cute architecture, plenty of bars / restaurants, a boardwalk above the town where you could walk Eastwards and take in the environment. (including even more caves !)
I cannot think of any negatives to warn you about - there literally aren't any !

It is so rewarding to hear such positive comments. I met this family and they were delightful to deal with, it was a real pleasure to have them as guests. They clearly embraced the local attractions and developed a very good understanding of what was available and they really enjoyed themselves. I read with interest their overall experience and how much they managed to pack into their time in Lagos. It is truly inspiring and makes our job as owners very worthwhile.

Wonderful stay in every way !
Our group of 9 (aged 20's to 60's) really enjoyed our stay here. 15 minute walk to Meia Praia beach, 20 minute walk to marina then over the bridge to the hustle of Lagos town which is a joy. There is a games room in the basement, table tennis, pool and table football, nice swimming pool and fully equipped kitchen. The owner Chris meets you shortly after arrival and talks you through everything. Small shop (really useful) about 10 minute walk.

A great holiday
Villa is near to beach, Marina and town of Lagos. There is a huge well stocked supermarket within walking distance. Villa was well equipped with everything that you needed while on holiday. Chris is such a nice chap and you would go a long way to find accommodation up to his standard. He even arranged for transport to and from Faro airport. Pool was well maintained and a man comes in mid week to clean it.

Wonderful family holiday villa
The location of this villa was about 15 /20mins walk to marina and a further 5 mins walk to the old town we tended to walk there and get a taxi to return. As stated previously it is about 10 minutes to the beach.A party of 9 of us ageing from 15 to 70 years old had a really fabulous holiday in this wonderful large villa.The pool was big and we had a few great BBQ 's on the outside terrace in the evenings.Chris was so helpful and could not do enough to ensure that we had a really good time we used his recommended transfer which went very smoothly.
A really lovely villa we are hopeing to return soon . Thank You Chris
