We had a fabulous holiday staying in Estrela da Luz. The apartment was stunning: spacious, clean and well equipped. The double south facing balcony was superb for sitting out enjoying the sun. The pool area and onsite staff were superb. Communication with Hans before our holiday was excellent. Highly recommend this apartment.

This is a very good apartment. I last stayed there around 10 years ago and it was just as I remembered. It was really helpful having quite a few essentials left in the property to save having to immediately go out and shop and it is very well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Would definitely recommend.

This is a beautiful apartment, with two generous sized bedrooms, two full sized bathrooms and a very well equipped kitchen. The living area is huge (especially when you consider it’s just a two bedroomed apartment) and the south facing balcony has to be one of the biggest on the whole of the Estrela resort. Hans was an efficient host with good communication throughout. We had a lovely break and will be back.

Great to hear that you found the apartment excellent. According to me Netflix is only possible through your own account. I have to ask the Reception about this matter. Most of the guests come from the UK and Ireland. All channels come through the central Wifi. So far I never had any complains about having no English channels. Very strange, I will have to ask the Reception about this matter.

First of all Hans (the owner) was brilliant with all communication. Super helpful in advance of our trip and any queries were responded to immediately. The apartment is fantastic and sparkling clean. Very spacious and comfortable beds. The huge terrance is such a bonus as it has sun all day! The furniture also very comfortable and the kitchen has everything you could need for a great self catering stay.The complex itself it absolutely lovely and the outdoor pools are beautiful and well maintained. Sadly we didn't use them as it was too cold in February. However we did make use of the fantastic indoor pool (free of charge).You are walking distance to everything in Luz - the beach, supermarkets and cafes/restaurants. Ideal for a lovely vacation. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment in a very safe complex with beautiful surroundings and hope to return again in the future.

Fantastic apartment with a great terrace

We loved our stay at this quiet complex which was well managed and very clean. The apartment itself was fantastic with everything a family of 4 could need and more. The spacious terraces were ideal for a leisurely breakfast in the morning sun but there were also always some areas in the shade if required. We loved that there was a separate children's pool so the adult pool was so peaceful. The gym was well equipped and the indoor pool was perfect for the one cloudy day we had. Easy to walk to the beach and local restaurants which were reasonably priced. We also visited Meia Praia beach which was practically deserted for a 10 euro Uber ride, well worth a visit but the beach at Luz was great too, not overcrowded at all in June. Hans, the property manager was very helpful and provided us with some useful information about the surrounding area. Thank you Hans! Great apartment which we will definitely return to.

Amazing stay in Luz

I booked this holiday mostly based on the previous reviews, and I was not disappointed. As others have said the photos don’t do it justice. It is more modern than the photos suggest. It is so well equipped and very spacious. The kitchen was great and there were loads of bits of food/condiments others had left which was appreciated. The showers were hot, and the AC was great throughout although we didn’t really need it even though it was very hot. With the electric shutters down it kept the apartment really cool. . The complex is beautiful and the pool was good, although we preferred the beach. It is a handy location for the beach, there is a supermarket within 5 mins walking, and the village has many great restaurants. We did not have a single bad meal whilst in Luz! Hans was a great host, very responsive and very helpful. Overall, I would highly recommend!

Super schöne Anlage mit beheizten Pools innen und außen, schöner Gartenanlage, Fitnessstudio und Restaurant. Zum Ortskern und Strand war nur ein kurzer Fußweg nötig.

Sogar Geschirspültabs und Waschmaschine Tabs sowie Gewürze und Kaffee ist vorhanden. Ein Hammer ist die riesige Terrasse mit Blick in den gepflegten Garten. Die Wohnung ist noch viel schöner, als man anhand der Bilder erwartet hat.Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber war sehr nett und jedesmal sehr schnell.
