Praia da Luz is a beach destination in the Algarve, at just under one hours easy drive from Faro airport. The development of the town is mostly low rise apartments and villas of all sizes, and the facilities are mainly aimed at family holidays, although suitable for people of all ages. There is a great variety of family friendly restaurants and bars, good shops and supermarkets and all the amenities for a complete holiday. There is a beautiful sandy beach perfect for sun bathing and water sports, and Luz beach sports the European blue flag indicating clean sand and clean water. To the east of town you find some spectacular cliffs and among them the prominent black rock Rocha Negra. This is an intrusion of lava produced from the volcanoes of Monchique some 190 million to 135 million years ago. Luz is just 8 minutes west of the larger historic town of Lagos which is provides great sightseeing, plenty of shopping, good night life, and a large established marina.

Hi David
I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at your apartment.

It is a lovely area and a lovely apartment, and we all wished we were staying longer!

The weather as you may have heard was very hot even by Portuguese standards, so at least we were prepared for England's heatwave!

I do hope all was well with the apartment on our departure

Regards
Sarah G

First class!

Review Submitted: September 19, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2011
Recently returned for a week in this fantastic apartment (having already stayed there last year) and had another great time. The apartment is spacious, clean, nicely furnished and well equipped. The large balcony sets this apartment apart and is perfect for mealtimes and relaxing after coming back from the pool. Both the local beach and the pool are lovely and great for small children. We tended to go to the local beach in the morning and spend the afternoons by the pool.
Luz itself is a nice, quiet resort with quite a bit of character and has some great little restaurants . Plenty of them also provide a take-away service, which again, is great if you have small children.

Our best holiday ever!

Review Submitted: August 11, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
We've just returned from a fantastic two weeks in this apartment. The accommodation is better than the photos show. It's really big and extremeley well equiped. The balcony is fab especially for families with younger children & the management company keep it in immaculate condition. The pool is lovely and the local beaches are too. There's some fab restaurants inn the village & in the local area. All in all I can't recommend this apartment enough. Now we're suffering terrible post holiday blues!

We spent the last ten days of August 2011 in this superb apartment and would highly recommend it. Very spacious with all mod cons and loved the huge balcony overlooking the pool which kept my little one amused for hours. Great resort and great apartments and felt very safe indeed
