Photos and Description of this Praia da Luz Area holiday cottage
2 bedroom semi detached cottage sleeps a max 6, balconies and garden all round

The beach cottage is in Praia da Luz or one hour west of Faro airport and 20 minutes from Lagos. It is easily accessed by train and taxi.

Luz is a traditional quiet seaside resort. There is simply everything for everyone from sailing to golf, five swimming pools to chose from and of course the beach. There are good restaurants, fresh fish and seafood, markets and local pottery, Lagos is undoubtedly one of the most charming and unspoilt small cities in the Algarve.

The Cottage has a commanding view of beach and sea, and on a clear still morning it is possible to see a mirage of Casablanca many miles over the horizon to the south. Sunrise and the morning sun wash the front of the cottage.

Further details for this holiday cottage rental in Praia da Luz Area, Portugal

Our cottage is a charming end of terrace two bedroom quality seaside house (Casa de Praia) with a larger garden situated close to the village church.

The cottage will comfortably sleep 5/6 persons. There are two bedrooms downstairs, balconies and steps to the garden below and bathroom. Upstairs, there is an open plan sitting room with fireplace and dining area as well as a good-sized modern kitchen complete with washing machine to lighten your traveling load. A large balcony commands a view of the the beach and sea with splendid views of the Rocha Negra. This rocky outcrop being an ancient lava flow from an ancient vulcano, now extinct, at Monchique.

Luz beach is below the house within 2 minute walk. There are a number of other local beaches nearby , Ingrina, Salema, Luz, and at Lagos Dona Ana and Praia Grande all with different characteristics, whilst the West facing beaches being the most spectacular and falling within the National Park. Castelejo and Barriga are great and the light house further up the coast is quite something.

Magically on a very still morning a mirage of Casablanca (600 km to the south) may be seen in the horizon, complete with cars, traffic jams and the bustle of images which may be seen blurring into outlines of the city port with ships. This is rarely seen and remains a truly amazing event.

How to get there: Fly to Faro or Lisbon then train to Lagos and Taxi to Luz. Train is approximately 7 Euros. Taxi from Lagos another 4 Euros. Trains do take bikes if you’re cycling. Car rental is available in Luz and at the airport. If selecting a car for the entire holiday in July and August it is best to purchase a voucher with the ticket. Due to better flight connections at Lisbon an increasingly popular alternative to Faro, is to fly to Lisbon and drive down(280KM)as it is motorway most of the way. A stop at the university town of Évora is also recommended, food here is excellent and lots to see. The Alentejo in the summer can be torrid.

Activities: Golf, beach, sailing, fishing and watersports are the major attraction but there is much to captivate one in this part of the world not least the bird life, the night sky, many restaurants, walking, cycling and sea fishing.

Other Activities:

Wonderful beach and cliff top and village garden walks

Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
Dear Tomas

George and I and the children had a very enjoyable holiday in your cottage last May and are now looking at our holiday plans for this year.
We wondered whether your cottage is available this year at the end of May? The dates we are looking at are Thursday, 24 May to Sunday 3 June.
I would be very grateful if you could let us know either by email or phone
We look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards
Nancy

Thomas,

My family and I enjoyed our stay at your cottage earlier this year so much
that we would like to book it again for next year.
In fact, if still available we would like to book it twice!
Best regards
Andy

Hi Tomas
Just a brief note to say how much we enjoyed staying in your villa in Luz.

We had a lovely holiday, and we are now rested and wishing we were in Luz rather than here. One nice thing is that the weather is lovely here too.

What a great holiday

Review Submitted: June 1, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2011
We spent 2 weeks in Luz at Casa de Praia and had a lovely time. The journey from the airport was quick motorway most of the way and upon arrival we were very pleased with the house. It really is just above the beach and litterally only about a minutes walk downhill on a quiet street. Upstairs overlooking the bay the view is spectacular. The bedrooms are downstairs and are comfortable and secure. There is a bathroom that is clean and we had fresh sheets on our second week. There are 2 pools only about 5 minutes walk away which are both great. The smaller one is by the reception and there are no kids allowed where as the larger has tennis courts and kids paddling area as well as a large pool. There are several restaurants very close by although we also ate out in Lagos and found the food delicious.

The beach is beautiful but there are others that we disovered both to the west and east that were easy to get to so the variety and quality of beaches made this destination extremely special and we would highly reccommend renting this property as Thomas was a real help with inside knowledge of the best beaches and restaurants to visit.

Home Sweet Home

Review Submitted: September 23, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Our holidays at Casa de Praia were idyllic. The house is located just a few minutes walking distance from the lovely beach so it was always easy to get there and back without needing to get in the car or stress about traffic. The bedrooms were pleasently decorated and the house clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed cooking meals or having a barbecue and sitting out on the verandah upstairs. The view out across the bay is breathtaking. We would highly recommend staying at this property as we have ourselves returned year after year. The children love the familiar location by the church with the pretty garden with grass and flowers. Our correspodances with the owner have always been hassle free and Thomas is a courteouse and very helpful host. Without a doubt Casa de Praia is our favourite holiday home that we always reccommend to our friends.

Enjoy your hoildays. Love,

Simon, Francesca and kids.
