About this property

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 depenind upon the number of guests - 3 bedrooms for 6 people and 4 bedrooms for upto 8 people.

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 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). For a small fee, the tennis courts of the Jonathan Markson Tennis Academy with three astro tennis courts can be booked via the hotel or via the tennis coach - 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. Please note a baby travel cot, stair gates and also a high chair are available if required.

Fantastic location. Great property.
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!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Fairlie

Host profile image
We are Susan and Nick Fairlie from Malvern, Worcestershire. We first fell in love with Luz village over 30 years ago and have been regular visitors with our four children and family friends ever since!

We have recently set up our own businesses in healthcare consultancy and commercial real estate and this has afforded us more time to visit our favourite place.

Despite our 'children' being grown up, they still love to return to Luz as the village holds very happy memories for them. As toddlers they all learned to swim here and as they got older Chico (who runs the water sports on the beach front) taught them to water-ski too. As teenagers, they naturally wanted to begin to sample the nightlife in Luz and latterly in nearby Lagos.

Why they chose this property

This is an ideal holiday home, with lots of character, however the location is what sets it apart. It has the most amazing sea views and is situated in a quiet, yet central location only 80 metres from the beach and with local amenities (supermarket, restaurants etc.) all within a three minute walk.

There's truly something special about waking up to beautiful ocean views and not having to use a car is a real bonus!

In addition, the close proximity to the bustling, cosmopolitan harbour town of Lagos with its old cobbled streets was a definite attraction.

What makes this property unique

The USP is definitely the views and central location! Free wifi. Air-conditioning in three of the bedrooms and pellet burner (for the Winter months) in the living area. There are numerous water related sports and activities available on Luz beach. Boat trips to the nearby grottoes and caves are popular as are Dolphin watching and big game fishing trips.

Slightly further afield are the renowned surfing beaches on the Algarve's silver coast which offer unspoiled and beautifully secluded beaches. For families the popular water parks of Slide & Splash and The Big One are a short distance away. Luz and Lagos boast a number of fine restaurants and bars catering for an eclectic range of tastes, offering everything from freshly grilled local fish to succulent steaks and piri-piri chicken.

For those seeking nightlife, Lagos offers a safe, bustling and friendly environment a five minute taxi journey awa
