3/4 bed Villa in heart of village, spectacular sea views, air-con & wifi
NB our cancellation policy is very reasonable: more than 8 weeks: the booking deposit, between 4 and 8 weeks: 75% of the total rental cost, less than 4 weeks: 100% of the total rental cost. The villa can be rented using 3 or 4 bedrooms depending upon the number of guests - 3 bedrooms for 6 people and 4 bedrooms for upto 8 people. There is a small additional fee for use of the 4th bedroom.
Our modern, very comfortably furnished semi-detached villa with magnificent 180°sea views is set in the heart of the village of Praia da Luz, only 80m from the beach. Its central, yet quiet location is perfect for those who want a relaxing self-catering holiday. The house is relatively unique in that it is one of the few that is in the heart of the village and can sleep eight people in four bedrooms. It has recently been extensively refurbished including the installation of a new kitchen with wine fridge, water filter (for drinking), a pellet burner, new bathrooms, new floor tiling throughout, new windows and electric shutters throughout. The bedrooms have been insulated and air conditioning installed in three of the bedrooms. There is a small fourth bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Wifi is included and speakers in the ceiling have recently been installed for use with your own music such as spotify etc. Beach towels are also included in addition to bathroom towels. The safe beach offers a range of water sports in the Summer months and the area boasts a number of nearby golf courses.
The house is three storey with the entrance on the first floor where there are two bedrooms - one double room (king size bed) and one twin bedded room (both have sea views and air conditioning). On this floor, there is also a bathroom and small storage room. Leading off the hall, there are two marble staircases, one leads down to the ground floor where the master bedroom (king size bed) and large en-suite walk-in shower room are situated and this also has air conditioning . Opposite the master bedroom is a recently converted room with a daybed which converts to a single bed and which also pulls out to create a double bed - this room is ideally suited to children but will also accommodate adults. This room also has a small en-suite bathroom. Both main bathrooms benefit from heated towel rails. There is a main door at ground floor level which leads into the walled garden. Patio doors from the downstairs bedrooms also open onto the garden which benefits from sunshine all day long. The garden has a secure gate, sun loungers and BBQ area. The other staircase from the hall leads up to the open plan living accommodation. With large glass windows, this area is light and bright and has a well equipped kitchen. The large wrap around balcony offers the perfect setting for alfresco dining with fabulous 180° sea views. Shade is provided by a large, retractable sun canopy.
Guests also enjoy membership of the Luz Bay Hotel and its facilities (April- October) which is in close proximity to the house. This includes six passes for the adult, family and toddler swimming pools (additional passes can be purchased from the hotel on a daily basis). There are also facilities such as sauna, massage and Turkish baths available (bookable locally). Guests are also able to hire the tennis courts of the Jonathan Markson Tennis Academy with three astro tennis courts - rackets and balls can also be hired and coaching can also be arranged. In 2021, padel courts were created in the village - a three minute walk from the house - courts and equipment can be hired directly at the Ocean Padel Club. There are plenty of water sports activities on the beach (seasonal) and numerous golf courses in close proximity, including Penina, Palmares, Parque da Floresta, Espiche and Boavista. Free Wi-Fi and multi-channel TV are provided.
There are opportunities to book personal training or yoga sessions or group fitness classes/bootcamps - details can be provided upon request.
The house can be rented for up to six people using three bedrooms and two bathrooms or for up to eight people using four bedrooms and three bathrooms (for a small additional fee). Please note a baby travel cot, stair gates and also a high chair are available if required.

We had a great stay at this lovely property. The location was fantastic. The beach and restaurants are on your doorstep and the supermarket is walking distance.
We would highly recommend.
What a perfect place to stay while we explored beautiful Luz! The views could not have been more gorgeous, every detail was thought of and both the owner and property manager were so helpful, thank you! A (very!) late check out was even offered to my dad who had a much later travel schedule than we did. So kind and thoughtful! The beach was so nice for swimming and so close. We enjoyed all of the cute restaurants nearby. Would love to make it back again someday, many thanks for an amazing first time adventure!
Enjoy drinks from the balcony whilst looking out to the view of the sea. The place is 2 minute walk to the promenade and our favourite restaurant Forteza, to watch a sunset and delectable food.
Just making clear that if you book for 6 people it becomes a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment, the fourth bedroom is locked. I found this not prominently stated on the site. The owner Susan did act fairly to rectify this and our booking error which is much appreciated!
Stayed ten days for a family wedding. The villa was a perfect location - very close to the beautiful beach and village centre. Three good double rooms, not huge but comfortable, wonderful open plan kitchen/living/dining area with stunning balcony and sea views. We used all 4 rooms and the 4th was small (as advertised). Our only criticism would be the need to share a bathroom or use the tiny 4th bedroom as it has the other en-suite. Any issues (the door keys were tricky to use) were dealt with very fast by the management team. We did not give 5 stars for the briefing/welcome as the initial emails never arrived and we had to chase up. No clue why but we did check spam etc. All in all a pretty villa which suited us as central so we were willing to forgo a pool.
My family of 8 stayed here for my daughter’s wedding and it was a perfect location and perfect set up. The safety gates kept the baby safe and the housekeeper was very responsive!
The property was so beautiful and the location was amazing! The views of the ocean as well as ease to walk to the beach was amazing. The property itself was super well maintained and enjoyable we loved our stay here! We also brought our 2.5 year old so the baby gates already set up as well as highchair were also really helpful!
We just had the best few days at this wonderful home. Location is spectacular and the views are stunning. Home has everything you need! We will be back!
We had such an amazing time staying at this property in Luz. The check in process was super easy, Susan was great to communicate with, we were right by the beach, lots of cute local shops and restaurants, I also loved the natural light the home provided and all the outdoor space. We can't wait to go back!
My partner and I along with my daughter and two grandkids had a wonderful time in Luz. The condo just could not have been better...close to the beach and town and some fantastic restaurants. We loved it!
What a beautiful villa, and located in the perfect spot! We could walk everywhere. The view from our balcony was magnificent.
Our host, Susan was awesome. She was very informative,
Giving us lots of local tips and helpful information.
We had a fabulous trip, and would definitely return and rent here again.
This residence is exactly as advertised, and when we visited in late April everything in the area was uncrowded and serene, although most restaurants (and there are many of high quality) seemed busy. The owner is very responsive and helpful, and has done extensive work to ensure her home is contemporary, secure, comfortable and well functioning.
It is a mystery to us why the town of Luz with its beautiful beach does not appear in more guidebooks. It is a dream place to stay, and very affordable.

Beautiful villa with sea views.
Beautiful villa with quality fittings throughout. Well located near the fort and walking distance to the beach, supermarket and restaurants. The property exceeded our expectations, was presented spotlessly and the checkin procedure was seamless.
A minor issue with the internet was promptly dealt with by the property manager to our satisfaction. Good lines of communication from booking to checkout.
Highly recommend this property to anyone wanting top quality accommodation in Luz.
Very nice accommodations and location. We booked for three bedrooms and did not use the fourth. The housekeeping company stopped by the morning after we arrived and went through the basics about the apartment and was very helpful in answering our questions. The book of information was extensive. Well stocked kitchen. Easy walk to restaurants (definitely go to Zazu!) and the market. The view from the balcony was beautiful. Would definitely recommend!
The absence of an Airbridge had put our holiday at risk but we decided to go anyway. We were so pleased we did. The villa is immaculate and superbly located 5 mins walk to both the beach and the nearest supermarket. Lunch for six on the balcony with a sea view and canopy to shade us was very special. Our flights in and out had both been changed but the owner was very understanding and allowed us to change and increase our stay without charge. We couldn’t fault the villa and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in it and at Praia da Luz.
First of all, great communication from host from start to finish.
The property is in a great location in Luz. Well appointed and maintained. We were met by a representative and she explained all the details.
The home is super clean, nice size rooms and killer views of the beach, the beach is 3 minutes away, with nice restaurants and shops.
Lagos is 15 minutes away and it’s also a quaint old town. This is definitely a great property to stay and by the way it’s better than the posted images.
Thank you Susan for sharing this great home!

Perfect holiday location
Everything was top notch - great apartment, great location, great weather, great restaurants, great beach ......... The list is endless. We made good use of the resort membership passes and used the pools most days. The apartment was spotless and well maintained with a gorgeous balcony overlooking the bay - just a four minute walk to the beach! Our only regret is that we didn't book for two weeks. We were just finding our way round and it was time to come home. Thank you so much for your hospitality - You have a lovely holiday home in Luz and we feel very lucky to have been able to share it.
Incredible location, great view, nice home and amenities
This villa was great for my family and I (all adults). It's right next to the beach and in between two areas of restaurants. The 3 primary bedrooms are on different floors. The top floor, with kitchen, living room, and balcony, has an amazing view of the ocean. (Lots of stairs if that is a factor for your group.)
On our first day, Hope from the management company visited and answered questions and made herself available for anything we needed.
I also visited the pool area of the Luz Bay Hotel which was easy to walk to and access.
We appreciated the included amenities such as beach towels, parking space, laundry machine, and nespresso machine.
Our stay was in October so there was a bit of "end of season" feel -- the home could use a deep cleaning.
Overall we had a great time and really enjoyed staying here!
Thank you!

This is a great property experience which sadly just fell short on the fringes. It has a great location with great views, is very well appointed and furnished.
We were not prepared for its townhouse proportions - very steep staircases and small rooms .
It had an ‘end of season’ feel as there were broken items ( e.g wall mirror which somebody had tried to fix with sellotape), missing key items ( e.g tumblers) and worn out consumables ( e.g we replaced the washing up brush and clothes pegs).
It is a house for no more than 6 adults and 2 children. The pull out double bed doesn’t give acceptable accommodation for 2 adults.

Beautiful villa in a stunning locations
Just back from two weeks in this fantastic villa. Having stayed in many properties in Spain and Portugal over the last 15 or so years, we genuinely found this one to be exceptional. Not only is the house itself really lovely, but the views from the upstairs balcony are stunning.
The house is stylishly decorated throughout - and recent improvements include electric shutters, electric awning, and new bathrooms and so on, make the house feel very well maintained and easy for guests to use and enjoy.
The kitchen is very well equipped with plenty of crockery, glasses and cutlery which is great - some houses literally provide 6 of everything which is always a bit 'mean'. And loved having proper teapot, kettle and toaster - lots of villas and apartments don't have them!
Towels and bed linen changes at appropriate intervals was appreciated and we also good use of washing machine and outdoor clothes line.
We really loved Luz - first visit and won't be our last - friendly, attractive, walkable village with great choice of restaurants and easy access to the beach. All in all we really enjoyed our stay and felt very lucky to have found such a well appointed and furnished house in a fabulous location - I've a feeling we'll be back!
