About this property

OCEAN VIEWS FROM EVERY ROOM ~ And MORE!

Large, sunny penthouse flat with contemporary interior design. South Facing with huge terraces overlooking the ocean. Great location which is a short walk to beach, cafes, restaurants, shops and town center. Various resort facilities including pool, tennis courts, golf, bicycle/kayak/SUP rental and spa are all nearby and reasonably priced. You will be walking distance from everything in this small, charming village, yet removed from the noise and traffic of the towns’ center. The flat is equipped with a professional chef’s kitchen, large bedrooms and living areas, and the main terrace offers lounging furniture, outdoor sofa and chairs, an electric awning, and gas barbecue. Master bedroom has a separate smaller terrace, and a third private balcony is located off the main living area. This is the perfect spot for a family vacation or honeymoon.

*We provide if needed, portable crib, highchair and booster seat as well as table games, books etc.

6 min. drive to Lagos.
Swimming pool very close (day-use fee apply).

The place is spacious and very comfortably fit our family of 6. The balcony is a huge and provides many a beautiful view of the ocean, hills, and lovely grounds/flowers. We thought Luz was a great town - everything you needed but also safe, cute, and of manageable size for comfortably walking. Communication from the host from booking through to check-out was timely, thorough, and everything you could hope for. The area recommendations from the host were all very useful and simplified trip planning and execution. We loved our family time in this location, and everyone in the family wanted days more to further explore after our 3 night stay was completed.Note - if travelling during high season, meal reservations are advisable in advance (potentially week in advance) for the recommended restaurants, even for lunch and at odd times. We were here last week of July.Love this place, this area, and this experience!

The property was wonderful! We were 3 couples visiting the area for the first time and the home was perfectly located and equipped to accommodate all of our needs. Great views as advertised and 10 minute walk to beach, shops and restaurants. Espe kept us well informed and was available for any additional help needed. We would definitely return.

Relaxing time in Algarve

We were lucky to stay at this spacious, tastefully decorated apartment with a pretty views from the each window/balcony (5 of them). We enjoyed walking down to the beach and town with many very good restaurants. Our only regret was that we booked our stay for 3 days only.

We couldn’t ask for a better experience. The host Esp was such a sweetheart, she would reach out to make sure we were enjoying our stay and if we needed anything. Also, Esp would give us suggestions on where to go to eat and visit, her apartment is exactly how you see them on VRBO, it was very cozy and beautiful, the view from the balcony was to die for. Loved that the beach was only 10 minutes away on foot. The beach was amazing as well, very clean and had everything you needed, bar, restaurant, ice cream parlor and shops. I highly recommend spending a vacation in Lagos- Praia da Luz and renting this beautiful apartment. Trust me you will love it as much as we did.

Amazing stay

Jim and Espe’s place is even better in person than in pictures. The ocean views from every room were truly beautiful. The deck was large and very comfortable. There was plenty of space in the unit to for our family to spread out, and town and the beach were a short, easy walk. The area is quiet, and the apartment was exceptionally clean. The kitchen was well equipped, and check-in procedures were smooth and easy. I highly recommend renting this place!

Great spot in Luz!

We just stayed for a couple days this spring. The location is easy to get to, and the view of the town and ocean from the porches is a great way to wake up and enjoy your breakfast. It’s a little walk to beach but very easy drive if you can find parking (we had no issues but in peak beach season could be a challenge). The place itself is very spacious with nice living rooms and porches. We had a great trip, loved the day, and would go back next time we are in Luz!

Great accommodations that are only a stones throw away from the beaches. It is a short walk down to the coastline to view breathtaking emerald seas. There is a great lineup of restaurants that came recommended by the hosts. The condo was spacious with great views.

Best ever condo with view snd lots space

The host was top notch with quick and professional responses. The unit was very clean and meet all our needs for two couples. The A/c was excellent in each room. The views were amazing and we loved the short but hilly walks to and from beach . We appreciated the extras like soap and shower gel. Our only suggestion would be to have slightly bigger beds and mattresses could be refreshed/new ones for optimal comfort. Otherwise we would recommend this property and would defintely go back there!

It could not have been better. The three bedroom was roomy, airy, bright, well supplied, beautifully furnished and best of all was the convenient location that included beautiful views. We spent our first full day exploring the little town and enjoying the beach and all the surroundings, restaurants and bars included! Day two we went to Lagos, really only 10 minutes away, and explored the cliffs and caves from above in the morning and took a two hour boat tour through the caves and grottos in the afternoon. What an adventure! We were sorry to leave but are looking forward to Monsanto and the Duro Valley. Thank you James and Esme.

Vacation in Paradise

We just finished an absolutely fantastic vacation in Portugal's Algarve coast staying in Espe's and Jim's apartment. As advertised each room did have ocean view and the apartment had a big enough balcony to enjoy the outdoors and watch the sun rise. The apartment provided all utensils and cooking ware needed and was plenty equipped. Espe and Jim were super responsive and very proactive communicating with us. Any questions asked were answered within hours. We received lots of valuable ideas what to visit and enjoyed the closeness to the beach and promenade restaurant's. We can definitely recommend this place and want to come back asap. Didi & Anju from Dallas
