About this property
Casa Cian Luxury 8th floor apartment with stunning 270° Sea View,140m from beach
Casa Cian is a beautifully maintained property and is officially licensed by the Portuguese Authorities for rental purposes. It is a recently renovated 2 bedroom 8th floor duplex apartment in the Luztur Complex situated right in the centre of Luz, it is a 2 minute walk to the beach. As it is the end apartment in the tallest building in Luz it has the most stunning panoramic view in all of Luz from sunrise to sunset. Being the end apartment it also benefits from having a fireplace with a Wood burning stove for the cooler winter months.
Fiber Optic High Speed Wi-Fi : For those of you working remotely I have just installed (Sept 2020) Unlimited High Speed Fibre Optic Wi-Fi so that you can now benefit from a quiet working environment with a stunning view. It is DL 500, 100 UL Mbps, which in practical terms is several devices for 4/5 people.
The upstairs level consists of 2 bedrooms (sleeps 4), both with sea views.. Plus a bathroom with state of the art shower unit .
Down stairs is the kitchen, spacious living room and large balcony area. The kitchen at the entrance is fully fitted with all mod cons and makes maximum use of the available space. It is bright and airy.
The living room is spacious, warm and welcoming with an open wood burning stove for winter months, it has a L shaped settee, subdued lighting and a large oval shaped dining table leading on to the balcony. Smart TV / Fiber Optic High Speed unlimited internet access .
I have also installed your very own Honesty Bar with a spinning Optic wheel. So, at 6 o clock time (or earlier) if you have had a hard day at the beach or perhaps spent the day Video Conferencing you can make yourself a soothing Margarita and enjoy the fading light on the beach below. Perfect.
The balcony is large with an overhanging area for sunbathing and a separate area also which has the Bar-B-Q on it.
Praia da Luz area: Praia da Luz meaning beach of light is a former fishing village and despite development over the years it has lost none of it's charm or character. There are plenty of good restaurants in Luz, especially sea food. And the beach itself is beautiful for an early morning or evening stroll.
Check out the wonderful the Aerial Video of Luz on this site taken by Lewis Davies.
Lagos is the nearest town. It has lots of history and is well worth a visit. It benefits from a strong summer sun with a cooling breeze. Spring and Autumn weather is glorious with warm fresh days and balmy evening breezes. Lagos is an old Moorish port. It has a more lively night life than Luz and has plenty of good restaurants to choose from. It has a daily indoor market selling fresh fish and vegetables and you will enjoy just strolling along it's old narrow cobbled streets or the new tastefully developed Marina, offering boat trips to visit the famous grottos and caves of Ponte de Piedade.
Praia da Luz area: The beach and pace of life make it ideal for a very relaxing holiday. From the atmospheric Fortaleza overlooking the rugged cliffs, you can stroll along the promenade towards the beautiful beach, and enjoy a coffee along the way in one of the many small sea front restaurants.
There are a good choice of restaurants in Luz and if you like seafood, you won't be disappointed. There are also good cafes/restaurants and take-aways that are reasonably priced. There is a very good Portuguese run restaurant on the beach itself which is not overly priced.
There are now 2 local supermarkets right beside the apartment, a SPAR in the same block, you simply take the elevator downstairs. It has a good choice of products and is good value. It also has a nice coffee shop. The other supermarket is Baptista's which is just 200 metres across the road from the apartment.
Casa Cian and Luz: The sunrises are stunning, rising over the sea at the far end of the beach. From here I can watch the fishing boats come in as the fishermen wrap up another nights catch. At sunset I can sit out and enjoy the warm glow of the evening light on Rocha Negra, literally translated ‘Black Cliff’, the cliff at the far end of the beach which was formed from volcanic activity. Luz is ideally suited to both the independent traveller who wants to explore, hike and cycle, but equally it is a quieter family resort catering to kids.
It really has everything you need close at hand, and if you play Golf, you have a choice of several courses close by and great deals in winter time.
I would highly recommend Luz as an all year round destination, with 3000 hours of sunshine per annum, the equivalent to California, how can you go wrong.

Cian’s apartment is perfectly located to walk everywhere in town but the best part is the view from the patio. The place has everything we needed and more! It is clean and quiet, we slept so well.

Thank you Clara, I hope to welcome you back to Luz another time.
What a stunning view and property perfectly located in Luz. We especially loved the honor bar and hope other properties steal this idea. The instructions sent by Cian were extremely thorough making finding and navigating the property extremely easy. I can't speak highly enough about our entire stay.
Great place to stay. Near the beach and lots of bars and restaurants. 7 euro taxi to lagos. Lots of free parking. Spectacular view of the beach and sea. Great value. Will return.
Amazong view, very responsive host, easy check in procedure
We had a fantastic time in Luz, it's definitely one of the more quiet towns we experienced in the Algarves which was good for what we wetr looking for with young kids. Having 2 grocery stores easily accessible was a huge plus and I really appreciate the easy grill set up on the balcony.

Thanks Dan, I’m happy to hear that the location, view and facilities ticked all the boxes for you and your family.
Wow! What a view! I could sit on that balcony forever. The place was so nice to stay in. Lots of room and amazing views from the bedrooms too. Waking up you can see the beach and at night fall asleep to the view of moonlight on the water. The owner has really thought of everything to make your stay feel like home and have everything you need. Could not recommend more.

Thank you Tracey, I really appreciate that very positive review. Happy that you enjoyed the views, the location and my recommendations.
You'll find STUNNING views of the town and near by beach in this charming, nautical themed unit. The rooms are quite cozy and you'll find many of the comforts of home available to you during your stay. There's a very convenient supermarket located steps away as well! However I'd be reminded not to point out that we also greeted by ants in the kitchen. Cian was very apologetic though, and told us he's already having the building maintenance team look into it Aside from that, we enjoyed our breif stay would highly recommend this spot for your next visit to the Algarve!

Thank you for your very positive review Adam. I’m glad that you enjoyed your stay.
As I mentioned to you when you informed me about the ants this is very unusual and the building maintenance said it has been unusually hot for August this year which has attracted them. I will look into this issue some more and find a solution for next season.
Best view of beach and town from the high floor. Walking distance to beach and restaurants.
Host was very responsive and had so much information about the location, apartment, things to do…. Would certainly come back agann
Apartment is well equipped and thoughtfully furnished with extra touches to make for a wonderful stay. Location and view cant be beat. Cian made sure we had all the information we needed

Thank you Kim, I really appreciate the very positive review and I’m happy that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay.
Apartment was exactly as advertised, no surprises except the view was even better than the pictures. We had a lovely stay and since we’re just a few hours away we will be back again.
The view from the balcony and bedroom was fantastic! The location was convenient as a homebase to travel for hiking and historical sites. The host had thoughtful touches throughout the apartment, and the parking was easy.
Clean and comfortable. Sitting on the balcony was so relaxing. Convenient to grocery stores and many delicious restaurants. Good access to highways to explore The Algarve. Our host was friendly and helpful and checking in and out was easy.

Safe travels,

We had a wonderful time here... very spacious apartment, fully stocked kitchen and everything to grill also. There was everything you needed to spend a day at the beach also! That was a nice bonus.. And the view...just incredible! One evening while we sat drinking wine, we even saw dolphins! I would definately stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Cian O'Loingsigh
Originally from Dublin, I worked on cruise ships as a photographer for 15 years and Praia da Luz was always my first port of call when I was home.I lived in Luz for 4 years from 1986 - 1990 running a bar there and I have been visiting now for 30 years. I am currently living in Dublin but escape 3 or 4 times a year to what I consider my little piece of paradise. It is great to be able to share this with others.
Why they chose this property
My father retired here in 1987, we looked at a few apartments to buy but once we saw the view from here that was it. We knew we would never get better. The location is perfect, it is right in the heart of the village and just a few minutes walk to the beach. There are 2 supermarkets in the immediate vicinity and a good choice of restaurants and coffee shops.
What makes this property unique
Stunning 270 degree views from Sunrise to Sunset..The balcony holds the light all day long and there is nothing more magical than sitting out at dusk and watching the fading light of day on Rocha Negra in front of you. You also have the same sea view from both bedrooms. As it is the end apartment it is very bright with light pouring into every room. I have maximised this by putting in new windows, frosted glass front door and bedroom doors. The apartment has been completely upgraded over the years. It is a very quiet block with most owners having bought their apartments as holiday homes for their own occasional use. So mostly the only sounds you will hear are the waves breaking down below. Oh and the seagulls flying past.
