About this property

Fantastic apartment in Estrela da Luz Resort, Luz

*** Special rates available for long-term Winter bookings of +3 weeks ***

This fabulous apartment is part of the luxury Estrela da Luz resort and offers a sea view from the Lounge, bedroom and Kitchen. Estrela is situated in a quiet location, right in the centre of Praia da Luz and is literally a few minutes’ walk from the beach, restaurants & shops (Rental License -98040/AL).

The Apartment is luxurious and stylishly furnished and offers many special features – a large double bedroom (king size double bed or 2 single beds) and lounge with dining area, 2 balconies (1 with table/chairs & 1 with sun loungers), a fully fitted modern kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine and a beautiful bathroom. Air-conditioning (for cooling/heating) is also fitted. There is a 50” TV & DVD player with a full range of International channels. Also, Free Wi-Fi & Free underground parking are provided. Lastly, the apartment´s windows and balconies face onto the sea and are therefore not overlooking the pools/bar/restaurant areas, which makes it a very quiet location, within the resort.

The Estrela facilities provide absolutely everything for a wonderful holiday – 4 swimming pools (some heated), Jacuzzi, sauna, a state of the art Gym, health and beauty Spa, Tennis court, a multi-purpose pitch for football, basketball, beautiful gardens, 24 hour reception and a restaurant and poolside bars. The fully gated complex is also extremely secure and child friendly.

The apartment is easily accessible by wheelchair (single level) and there is an elevator from the underground car-park and to the other floors. Suitable for Babies and children.

Please also note that as a host we are legally mandated by Portuguese/EU law to provide visitors’ passport/national ID information to the Portuguese Border Control Authority SEF (Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiros). In order to do this, we will require a copy of everyone’s passport or national ID card (including children) who are staying in the apartment, prior to their arrival at Estrela da Luz.

Great Vacation
We enjoyed our month long stay at this property. The unit was very clean and well equipped. The property was very well maintained and walking distance to the beach and restaurants. We enjoyed the beautiful pool. Michael was terrific to deal with. Very thoughtful and attentive. We really appreciated his kindness.

Fabulous
My husband and I spent a week at this fabulous property. Communication with the owner was highly efficient and very professional. We appreciated the detailed instructions and recommendations provided in advance. The unit, the resort, and the location were all excellent! We especially loved the view from the balcony in the evenings. We highly recommend this property for a home base in the Algarve.

Such a beautiful apartment!
This apartment is incredible! Check-in was a breeze, the resort is immaculate and the apartment is even better than the pictures! Michael (the host) was absolutely lovely and so helpful. If you’re looking for a great resort in Algarve - look no further…this is the place!

Great Apartment in an excellent location
The apartment is part of what I would call a 5 star resort. There is controlled entry (very easy) through all the gates into the premises. Lovely landscaped gardens & everywhere is kept in top notch condition. The apartment itself is very spacious & was the cleanest rental we have ever stayed at. It is well equipped with quality items such that even me, being a keen cook, could find all I needed to whip up a meal with the lovely produce available locally. Between the resort staff & the host Michael, we were really looked after & communication was exemplary. I was wary of this part of Portugal, Luz & particularly Lagos fearing that it would be a bit Hi-De-Hi or full of British hens & stags. It was a delight to discover that both towns are charming & certainly in May, had enough people to have character, but few enough that it was nicely un-crowded (not a real word). Luz itself is a great option as a slightly smaller town but still having all the amenities needed & a great beach. It's only 10 minutes to Lagos. The host's guidance notes were a great help steering us to worthwhile destinations & eateries. I could go on! All in all a great holiday experience. We were there a week & could have easily had 2 weeks with plenty to do (we did have a hire car). Many thanks to Michael our host.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Tiernan & Helene Leuschel

Host profile image
We are a British/German couple who moved to the Algarve in 2009, with our two young children, after falling in love with the area. Ever since moving to Portugal we have not only grown fond of the friendly welcoming nature of the Portuguese people but also the incredible life style of living by the Sea. The sun (over 300 days of sunshine each year) & stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean are still jaw-dropping, even after all these years and we have been able to explore the area and its numerous attractions and places of interest with great pleasure. We love having a beach picnic as much as dining out at one of our favourite local restaurants & we are sure that you will too!

Why they chose this property

We purchased the property, because we just love the quiet and picturesque location of Praia da Luz. Being demanding travellers ourselves, we wanted something that offered all of the luxuries that are needed, to make a holiday very special & after a very long and thorough search, we found an apartment in Estrela da Luz, that literally ticked all of the boxes.

What makes this property unique

We really do feel that our apartment is very special & enjoy it for a host of reasons - it’s luxurious, very spacious, has sea views from the lounge, kitchen & bedroom, there is access to all of Estrela’s facilities - heated pools, Jacuzzi, Sauna, Gym, tennis courts, gardens & it’s only a short walk to the beach & all local amenities - Restaurants, supermarkets, shops etc. It is very comfortable all year round, with air-conditioning & heating……yes, even though the sun is always close by, it can still be a little chilly in January! We also appreciate the special little touches, such as free parking & wifi, lots of space for kids beds/toys etc, a 24 hour reception & last but not least, a decent sized TV to relax in front of with a glass of wine, after a long ‘hard’ day at the beach :-)
