Fabulous house in a great location. Great views and walking distance to a bunch of restaurants, ice cream shop and pharmacy. A bit of a hike to the beach with smaller kids but definitely manageable. Felt very safe with lots of outdoors space. A great home base to explore/do day trips in the western algarve.

We loved our stay! The property was beautiful with a great ocean view and the villa was well stocked with essentials. Check in was very easy and we appreciated the accommodations made for us as we arrived quite late due to delayed flights. The town and beach are just a short walk and there were several great options for restaurants in walking distance. The pool was larger than expected and it was a great way to cool off after exploring all day. My only regret is that we were not able to stay longer. I hope to return again soon!

Great stay in Luz

Wonderful place just a short walk from central Luz and right on edge of the cliffs and the great walking trail that goes all the way down the coast - we walked the 3 miles down to Burgau for breakfast one morning - highly recommended.

We were a group of 3 friends traveling together. This house was a perfect base to explore the Western Algarve. There was plenty of space to spread out and the rooms were comfortable. The kitchen had all we needed, particularly since we ate out most evenings. There are excellent restaurants nearby. The pool was very welcome at the end of a hot day. The property management was slow to respond but the host quickly answered our most important questions.

Really Nice Property

House was great. The four bathrooms were an added plus. Swimming pool was wonderful for little ones. House could provide better pillows and linens. There could also be better, more comfortable outdoor seating. The walk to Luz Beach proper is a good hike, especially if you have young ones in your group. All in all a great place to spend a vacation.

Wonderful home!

I loved everything about this house—the decor, the location, the views. I could live here all year. Sleeping with the windows open to the ocean air was so nice. As a woman traveling alone, I felt very safe. The house was much larger than I needed but well worth the price for the location, views, facilities, and privacy. I will return, hopefully with friends or family next time.

Summer break

Excellent location and traditional villa. Some aspects in need of updating such as loungers. Would have liked additional pillow and lounger cushions. Shame no comfortable outside furniture other than main table. Overall location across from cliffs and proximity to Luz. Great views made for great holiday

Artistic and Traditional Beach Villa

We loved our stay in this villa. It was very clean and private. It’s an older house so it can smell moldy if you don’t open windows from time to time. But such a gorgeous view! Not for the people looking to party and get drunk. It’s a traditional, artistic, respectable space. The response time by the property managers was a little slow, but they did fulfill all needs. Only negative was the housekeeping said they’d send someone to clean the pool, and never did. The pool was not filthy, but it was also not completely clean. Some green algae and dirt on the bottom. They did give me the run around on that one and also when we needed more toilet paper etc. I’d text the property managers instead of housekeeping- that would be my advice. Just fyi, so you know what to expect. Everything else was great.

Diese Unterkunft ist der Hammer für alle, die nicht ein Null-Acht-Fuffzehn-Haus wollen. Tolle Einrichtung, unfassbar tolle Aussicht von allen Schlafzimmern. Komplett ausgestattet. Der Pool ist klein und fein und reicht fürs Abkühlen. Einziger Mangel: in die Möbel für den aussenbereich könnte gerne ein bisschen investiert werden.

We verbleven alweer voor de vijfde keer in Casa da Calheta. Dat is niet voor niets. Allerbelangrijkste is de ligging. Het uitzicht vanaf het terras is fantastisch. Het is een vrijstaand huis en daarmee heel rustig. En toch loop je binnen een paar minuten naar het gezellige centrum van Praia da Luz. Verder stellen we de ruimte binnen het huis op prijs. Het is niet bijzonder luxe maar zeker wel van alle gemakken voorzien. We hopen zeker nog eens voor de zesde keer in dit fijne huis te verblijven!

Hervorragend - empfehlenswert - geeignet auch für Familien

Mein Mann, meine Eltern und ich waren sehr begeistert. Mehrere Zimmer hatten Balkons und Meerblick. Der Meerblick von der Gemeinschaftsterasse unten ist durch den Garten malersich umrandet. Es gibt keine parkende Autos vor dem Haus. Nur wenige Fußgänger, welche die Privatsphäre wahrten. Idyllisch gelegen ca. 7-10 Gehminuten zum Strand, entlang auf der Straße mit kaum Verkehr und schönem Meerblick. Empfehlenswert.

Petit paradis sur locean

Superbe moment passé en famille dans cette très jolie maison. Magnifique Vue sur l’océan et les falaises. Maison très bien équipée, piscine agréable pour une baignade de retour de ballade. En face, une esplanade de rochers accessibles qui mènent à l’océan; pêche possible mais baignade difficile. Très tranquille et reposant. Loin des foules. Mais à 5 mn à pied du centre ville, commerces, restaurant et grande plage de sable. Praia da Luz est un village calme et loin des foules de Faro. Lagos est à 10 mn en voiture.
