This villa was the perfect spot for our month long stay. The photos of the view do not do it justice. Perfectly located, with great restaurants, the beach and the boardwalk, as well as the village amenities were all within an easy 5 to 10 minute walk. We requested the pool be heated for a few days so our family could use it, and they were in every single day. Dedicated private parking space was handy and the villa was very clean and well appointed. We highly recommend this great little villa for a lovely family vacation.

This place is perfect! So homely, clean, 2 minute walk to the beach, supermarket, bars, restaurants. Such a clean and homely place with nice touches such as games and books and tasteful plants and photos on the wall. Nice towels, bedding, all bedrooms were a good size with lots of storage. Large kitchen with everything you need. Beautiful views, not overlooked at all so private and peaceful - we had the best time and didn't want to leave!
Such a beautiful sea view - even at night you could see the moon reflected in the sea.
The pool was clean and cool, perfect for relaxing in.
Such a beautiful villa in the perfect location.

May stay 2025

The Villa was a great find, great facilities and close to the beach and town. 5 mins walk from supermarket with everything else on ypur doorstep. We had a party of 3 so ample space as it can sleep up to 6 people. Airport is about 90kms away which is about an hour travelling time. The whole experience was easy too with thorough instructions to check in. Would thoroughly recommend.

Superb family holiday

Efficient extremely helpful manager and owner and maid. Location is fabulous, close to the sea with a relaxing and inviting sea view. Quiet area, well resourced villa with comfortable beds. Door blinds keep rooms cool but also dark during the evening. We all adored the well maintained pool, particularly during the heat wave.

Great villa

Lovely villa in a great location, stayed in Luz many times. Quiet area and lovely to have the pool. A few things could be updated in the villa, toilet seat especially. The only real complaint was the bed in the master room, one of the most uncomfortable things we have slept in, definitely needs changing.

Amazing Villa in amazing location

We had a fabulous week at the villa - family of 5. It is spacious and well equiped and very comfortable. It has an amazing view of the sea from the terrace which is not obvious from the photos - we arrived at night and when we opened the shutters in the morning we were amazed. Location could not be better, a quite neighbourhood but right by great restaurants, the supermarket and a couple of minutes walk from the beach. Couldn't recommend more.

Location! Location! Location!

Villa Joja is quietly situated but amazingly only 5 minutes walk from everything that Praia da Luz has to offer. It was our first visit and we thoroughly appreciated the variety and quality of local bars and restaurants. The villa is very well equipped and was exceptionally clean. We particularly enjoyed spending time on the upper terrace which has lovely sea views. It was an exceptionally relaxing and stress-free holiday. Thank you James and Janet

A wonderful dose of sand, sea and sunshine.

A short stroll from a lovely beach that was perfect for our granddaughters, aged 2 & 4. Delightful accommodation, fantastic early October weather (26C and sunshine every day), good village atmosphere and restaurants. Found the directions on how to get there confusing - just find Baptista Supermarket (easy with the SatNav) and it is 2 minutes walk away. Problems with the washing machine were sorted out quickly and efficiently. Many thanks for a relaxing and refreshing holiday.

Best villa

Having stayed in Luz numerous times, I have to say that this was the best villa for location and space that we have stayed in. 4 stars for accuracy of the villa in the pictures because it is much nicer in real life. Definitely follow the instructions on the site to find the villa- google maps sent us in the wrong direction. Villa was spotless and the pool was great fun (definitely get it heated if you’re going at this time of year). Literally only a five minute walk to the front (and that’s with me on a crutch and having to walk slowly). Thank you so much for having us!

Perfect location

Having stayed in Luz previously this has to be in the best location yet. We stayed as a family of 4 which included our 2 young children aged 6 and 8. The fact that we could walk to the beach/restaurants/supermarkets without any complaints from the little ones was a god send. The villa itself is very well equipped and had everything we needed to make it a perfect stay. One thing that did become very apparent when we arrived was that the photographs do not do this place justice! It’s much bigger and brighter than the photos lead to you believe. Communication with the villa owners was fantastic and they were incredibly helpful, I would not hesitate to return to Casa Joja!
