Guestbook
Atchinson Family - May 2007- We had a wonderful week at Casa Louia. We were all very impressed with your villa. Your efforts for the children were much appreciated and they had a brilliant time. Ferragudo is marvellous, the kind of place we found and fell in love with when we first visited Portugal. The weather was terrific also - so thank you very much indeed, our faith in Portugal has been restored.
Hamilton Family - July 2007- We are back at work in the UK , but we would quite happily get back on the plane and return to Ferragudo for a month!! The whole family enjoyed the holiday immensely, the weather and accoomodation played a big part in. The younger children spent a lot of their time in your pool and are adamant that they will be returning next year!!
Van de Sande Family - Aug 2007 -Lovely time enjoyed by all the family, villa excellent,and catered for all our needs, swimming pool very welcoming, enjoying barbecues around the pool at night. and experienced some lovely meals in the restaurants in Ferragudo. The distance into Ferragudo village square was just a short. walk away The beaches were unspolit, the local were very friendly. We are hoping to return and have mentioned the holiday to family and friends.
Brookes Family-Sept 2007 - thank you very much for the stay in your villa. It had everything in it you could think of and it was much larger than we expected. Your pictures do not portray the size of it. The weather was beautiful and only started to rain on the Sunday as we were coming home, which of course we didn't mind. Ferragudo was lovely, we visited several of the restaurants and we did the pirate trip from Portimao and also the Slide and splash waterpark.
