My husband and I loved our stay here! The apartment was so clean with all amenities needed. It has a breathtaking view from the nestled and discrete balcony from which you can hear the beach. We found the apartment to be a perfect location in Luz and also as a base to explore the Algarve region.Luz itself is quieter and smaller than Lagos but we preferred it that way and found we had a much more peaceful stay than had we stayed elsewhere. Maria was extremely friendly, helpful and responsive and the staf that worked at the local agency were just as kind and accommodating. We will definitely hope to come back!!Thank you Maria and her team!

Relaxation in Praia da Luz!

We spent 4 wonderful nights and nothing about our stay was disappointing. The apartment and accommodations were amazing and everything was first class as advertised. The outside balcony with ocean views and evening breezes was everything we could have hoped for.

Wonderful stay. Quiet street but near everything. The beach the bus the restaurants and the hike. The sound of waves at night with everything you would need in the apartment for a wonderful stay. Easy to communication and we enjoyed the gift of wine and oranges for our arrival. We would stay again.

We spent a full month in this lovely Praia da Luz apartment, and from the moment we arrived, it felt like home. The space has such a warm, welcoming feel—bright, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up for a longer stay. We loved waking up and being just a short stroll from the beach, cafés, and everything Luz has to offer.The location couldn’t be better: close enough to enjoy the coastline every day, but tucked just far enough up the hill to feel peaceful and relaxed. It truly became our little home base in the Algarve.After a month here, we left feeling refreshed and grateful. We’d happily stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, well-located place in Luz.

beautiful views

Lovely apartment, best equipped kitchen I have experienced in a rental property, great location close to beach, stores, restaurants and walking trails. And the beautiful little patio, with view of the ocean and the cliff- perfect spot for meals or just relaxing. Excellent communication prior to and during the visit. And the town of Luz is perfectly situated for exploring the Algarve.

Maria's apartment exceeded my expectations. The view from the balcony was breathtaking, especially on those clear mornings when you could watch the sunrise from the balcony. The location is great and you can walk down to the beach in 2 minutes. I can only recommend it to anybody coming to Luz. Thanks Maria for a great stay!

The property was wonderful, fantastic views from the balcony, which is lovely and shaded in the afternoon (perfect for us!) It really is just a 2 minute walk down to the beach, where there are lots of places to eat and drink - all of which are lovely. The apartment is equipped with anything you need, the airconditioning is fantastic on hot days. There is an easy commute to local supermarkets, with sone local shops in easy walking distance, qnd larfer ones just a short drive away in Lagos itself. Thabk you Maria for a wonderful stay!

Great Apartment in Great little town

We had a really good stay at this location. The apartment is in a great location, only 1 block up from the beach. It is well stocked with kitchen supplies and all you should need. The deck is spacious and a nice place for morning coffee or evening happy hour. The owner keeps in regular contact and helpful when needed. We would stay here again or recommend it to friends.

Great Location & Communication

We had a 3 month stay at this property and couldn’t have picked a better location. The apartment was a block and a half from the beach, multiple restaurants and the promenade which we walked every single day. We love the city of Luz, it is just the right size for our laidback stay and Lagos is just a 30 minute bus ride or 10 minute Uber ride away. Also, we did the walk to Lagos twice and it is not to be missed! Our host Maria could not have been nicer or easier to deal with - she responded to our every question super promptly. Thanks again Maria, you’re the best!

Lovely Luz

My husband and I love the small town vibe of Luz. We have never been to Portugal and feel lucky to have picked Luz for our spot to stay. Our GPS did have difficulty directing us with the turns but once we found the apartment we had no trouble parking on the street. The flat is an easy walk to the beach, grocery store and restaurants. It is a perfect place for couples. Maria was a great host and all her instructions were helpful. Carla was easily contacted through WhatsApp. and she responded quickly to our questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Exceeding expectations!

I cannot imagine a more perfect holiday stay. Maria, the hostess, provided a beautifully decorated and immaculately clean accommodation just a block up from the seashore and esplanade. The view from the patio, as well as the balcony, were both fabulous over looking the sea & providing great vantage points to admire gorgeous sunrises as well as sunsets. This accommodation was centrally located and everything in Praia da Luz was within walking distance. The apartment was fully equipped with everything one could need for a comfortable stay! You would be fortunate to find availability at this lovely seaside location. Maria is most definitely a 5 star hostess!

Perfect apartment!

Maria’s apartment was delightful and lived up to all our expectations! It was very well equipped and very comfortable, especially the bed and the amazing hanging chair on the balcony! The location couldn’t be better - so close to the beach, in a quiet street (at night), and a short walk to the bus stop / supermarket etc. Communication with Maria was fantastic - she is super friendly and helpful and always very quick to respond to any queries.The only suggestion we would make would be (if feasible) to have a coded “key safe” outside the front door, rather than having to get the bus to Lagos to collect the key. All in all, a fantastic holiday! Thank you!

Hi Julia and Mark Thank you so much for your review I am very grateful!! You will be very welcome any time you wish Regarding the key box I know that is an option but I confess that I have been very resistance to that as this type of local accommodation means more than just have an apartment to stay, means some personal contact where you can ask some questions, where you know where to go in case you need any urgent situation and more. As I live in Lisbon and cannot do that personal touch and think that is important in the all 'package' I have not put it yet...but I understand your point! Most of my guests come with a car and on the way they do a stop there!  Next time you visit us, remind me and we might arrange another option :)

Cosy apartment

A beautiful, snug apartment providing an awe-inspiring view! We just loved our stay in this apartment! A very welcoming and beautifully decorated place planned carefully to allow a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Amazing view from the balconies, just few steps to the beach. Next door to the delicious bakery and few minutes to the supermarket. We arrived quite late and was so thoughtful to be welcomed with a beautiful basket of fresh fruit and wine... Thank you Maria for your clear, fast communication (also for providing a good Wifi (my 12 year old son loved it!) Thanks Henrique and Carla for your attention and having everything beautifully organised to make us feel very special! We definitely recommend this place...

Great location, BUT!!

The location was perfect! But everything in the apartment was DAMP. Including the pillows, the mattress, the area rugs (which really needed a cleaning). The A/C didn’t work, and we were told a tech would get there 3dayd later. The A/C. Could have helped dry out the apartment….there are also stone stairs to the apartment, with no hand rail. Slick in the damp…also, the arm to the loveseat was broken with a basket pushed up against it to try to hide it. But we Zloved the town!!
