About this property
Vila Monte Luz - 1, Great apartment for 2 persons, pool, directly by the sea in prime location
A very nice, fully air-conditioned holiday rental for 2 people (+ 1 child), including a bathroom. It features a fully equipped kitchen/living room with a lounge area and a large sleeper sofa, Wi-Fi, a large satellite TV, and a CD radio, as well as a parking space. In the bedroom (200/200 bed), a cot can be provided as an extra bed upon request. The spacious bathroom with shower and toilet has also been recently renovated.
Vila Monte Luz features two beautiful sun terraces with a large swimming pool and DIRECT ocean views, as well as a communal BBQ area. You’re sure to feel right at home here and enjoy a wonderful holiday.
Each apartment comes with a parking space.
From the pool and terraces, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the beach and sea, stretching across Ferragudo Bay all the way to the Portimão marina. And the historic Castelo São João do Arade is practically your neighbour. The sandy beaches of Praia Grande, with their charming local spots, are right on your doorstep, and the romantic town centre of Ferragudo is just a short stroll away. Here you’ll find everything you need, as well as other great restaurants. The unique location of Holiday Rental 1 thus offers something special to every holidaymaker.
Two additional beautiful holiday rentals—one for 2 adults (+ 2 teenagers) (Property ID: 759758 ) and another for 2–6 people (3 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms) (Property ID: 759732, )—are also available.
“Vila Monte Luz,” with its three holiday apartments, is located on the outskirts of the romantic fishing village of Ferragudo, directly across from the historic São João do Arade Castle, right on the fine sandy beach and the Atlantic Ocean. The expansive natural bay “Praia Grande,” with its long stretch of beach, is well protected by the offshore breakwaters. Among other things, the beach features two local terrace restaurants, two popular beach bars with lounge areas, and many sports facilities.
Ferragudo itself is an old fishing village with enchanting alleyways and historic buildings in the typical Algarve style. A short walk takes you from your holiday rental to the piazza with its cafes and shops, and on to the small harbour with its seafood restaurants and bars. From here, the water taxi will take you to your desired destination.
On the other side of Ferragudo Bay lies the popular city of Portimão and the tourist hotspot Praia da Rocha, with its attractive marina, beach promenade, and many shops, where the nightlife really comes alive in the numerous restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. You can take a comfortable water taxi ride from Ferragudo to the pier of the new marina. From there, you can continue on to do some shopping.....
Beautiful golf courses are just a short distance away—you can find a list at the following link: http://www.e-portugal.de/de/golf/algarve/courses.aspx - there are horseback riding facilities - a tennis centre - the fantastic “Slide & Splash” water park - the new marina - plenty of water sports options such as fishing, snorkelling, scuba diving, swimming, surfing, jet skiing, sailing, motorboating, banana boat rides, water skiing, and many, many excursion options both on the water and on land....

Property was as stated, we were there for 2 weeks, it would have been nice to have clean towels and bedding sheets changed after the 7 days, but overall very comfortable for our needs

Vielen Dank für Ihre gute Bewertung. Es freut mich sehr, dass Sie sich bei uns wohlgefühlt haben.
Meine Haushaltshilfe hat die Anweisung, Gästen nach einer Woche Aufenthalt frische Bettwäsche und Handtücher zur Verfügung zu stellen. Es tut mir sehr leid, dass dies bei Ihnen übersehen wurde. Ich werde der Sache selbstverständlich nachgehen, damit dies künftig nicht mehr vorkommt.
Ich wünsche Ihnen und Ihrer Gemahlin alles Gute und würde mich sehr freuen, Sie wieder einmal in der Vila Monte Luz begrüßen zu dürfen. Sie sind jederzeit herzlich willkommen!
Herzliche Grüße

Perfect for the 2 of us. This was our2nd stay there. Love location and staff.
We had a fantastic stay! The apartment had the perfect size for us and is next to the beach and around 10 min walk from the center of the village. Everything was so well-kept and clean! Sandra was waiting for us to arrive and explained us everything. We also met Maria and she is a lovely host. Looking forward to go there again. Thanks to Maria & Sandra for a really nice & relaxing week.
Awesome view and minutes from lovely beach.. Shame the pool was empty due to repairs.. Could have said this on the listing. However I'll be back..

Hello Helen. Thank you for your review. It was a great pleasure to have you as a guest at Vila Monte Luz. I look forward to seeing you again soon. Best wishes and stay healthy. Maria Vieira
Sandra greeted us with the keys to the lovely one bedroom apartment showed us around inside was very bright and sparkling clean! The property overlooks the sea, steps down to the beach, restaurants all around walkable! Would definitely recommend and will return with family!!!
We stayed for a month. Service was excellent. Property was well kept. Location was superb, overlooking the beach, three restaurants and bars provided refreshments and food- excellent. Proximity to all venues in the Algarve, leaves nothing to chance. Will be back. The wicker bedroom furniture could be improved.
What’s not to like?Location by a beautiful beach with an excellent cafe.Set privately behind electric gates this is a small complex of various apartments with communal facilities.It is ably managed by Sandra who loves her job and treats the place as her own. She speaks a variety of languages so always able to communicate.We loved our week here off season peace and quiet to recharge in the sunny days but close to the little town for shopping and cafes. Sadly most restaurants closed for holiday as the very “slow” season.
Can't say enough great things about this property!!
Nothing but GREAT things to say about this property. We stayed there for 4 weeks. 2 minute walk to great beach and restaurants, 15 minute walk to Market Square. The vila was clean, well-maintained, and well equipped for us. The wifi worked perfectly. Views from the large pool balcony was just outstanding.... exactly as shown in the listing. The property owner was excellent to work with; very responsive and so were staff very helpful in suggesting activities and trips. Can't say enough great things about this property!! Loved our stay in Portugal!
Heel gastvrij en welkom ontvangst. Sandra doet alle moeite om gasten naar de zin te maken. Mooie locatie met prachtig uitzicht over zee en lekker dichtbij zee!
Heerlijk zwembad met fantastisch uitzicht
Interieur moet opgeknapt kamer, keuken.
Doe een nieuwe bank, hang de tv aan de muur en plaats een kleine eettafel voor 2 personen, bad en slaapkamer prima.
Des notre arrivée la personne responsable nous a rejoints très rapidement
L accueil était chaleureux
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l’emplacement à XV proximité de la plage
I appartement est tout équipé
Il ne manquait rien même la lessive était à notre disposition
Je recommande vivement
Pépite !! Un lieu superbe, une vue de dingue et un personnel adorable !
Cest bien simple on ne voulait plus repartir, et on reviendra des que possible ! Convient autant a un couple en escapade amoureuse qu'à une famille ou entre amis ! Allez y les yeux fermés !
