Hi Chris, we had a great time at Casa Jolie.
The villa is absolutely beautiful, definitely 5* which includes the fantastic location being walking distance from Lagos Marina, beach & town. We were there in April 2010 and had a mix of weather yet when the sun was shining it was very hot, we did have some rain but it certainly didn’t spoil our holiday there was always plenty to do and see even though we didn’t have a car. The heated pool was pure luxury; the terrace is large with a pretty garden area with an abundance of flowers. It was nice to have very comfortable garden furniture and there was everything you could possibly need including a very easy to use electric BBQ, which we made good use of. There villa itself is beautiful, very clean and particularly well equipped to the highest of standards, we were very well catered for.
We loved the location of the villa and wandered to the Marina for breakfast or lunch most days then often went into Lagos town in the evenings where there are many quaint restaurant, shops and bars, loads of choice. There was also a very convenient little supermarket and two lovely cafes literally 2 minutes from the villa, perfect!
The icing on the cake! We were stranded in Portugal 3 extra days due to the airways crisis, when flights were suspended due to the volcanic eruption in Iceland. It could have been a very stressful time for us yet Chris was great, he contacted us immediately to allay any concerns we had about accommodation and allowed us to stay in the villa until we could get flights home. I am very pleased to say Chris definitely DID NOT use the crisis to his personal gain as many other were doing, as he only asked us to cover his own costs for electricity.
Chris, you’ve proved there are still nice people out there, you are a kind genuine lovely guy, your villa is beautiful and its location excellent. Lagos is one of my favourite places and I will definitely go back and would confidently recommend the villa to anyone.
Thanks for a great holiday, Paula (North East England)
