The sand-duned beaches on the west coast, 45 minutes drive, provide brilliant surfing and parascending. Lively club scene in Lagos - 6 to 10 euros in a taxi. Relaxation is available in Monchique at the well-known spa.

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

Transport from Faro airport: A taxi can be arranged at a cost of about 80-100 euros.

Taxi John is available and he is Luz-based. He has to be booked in advance, but usually only needs one day's notice for local trips to, say Zoo Marine, during your stay. He has all the required baby-seats with him.

There is also an ABTA-app shuttle bus service which will tour all the hotels; one family of 6 had the return journey mini-bus all to themselves!

There is a new bus service that stops at the hotel opposite, its one of those city bus routes that charges about 1-3 Euros per trip or for a day ticket enabling you to get on and off all day long. It's very good for little legs returning from a busy day at the beach, or for exploring the local villages (or Sunday lunch at the lovely beach restaurant in Burgau)

If you are looking to rent TWO OR THREE HOUSES in Vila Serena, we are able to arrange this with the neighbouring owners through our caretaker. Each house sleeps 6.

It takes some organising, but worth a try...

'..we had a fabulous holiday in your house. It was great for me when I turned the key in the lock and found your house lived up to our expectations'

'.....We had a wonderful holiday, never seen such clear skies for such a long time. Luz is lovely and we found lots to do around about and especially enjoyed walking over the cliffs at Cabo da Sao Vicente and further North towards Aljezur. In fact far too many nice places to list. Maybe calls for another holiday sometime?

Your villa is gorgeous and in a beautiful spot and so well described. Research into any new area is always full of potential problems but none found here. We are absolutely delighted with the whole experience, thank you very much.....'

Home from home...

Review Submitted: November 4, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We have just spent an enjoyable week at this property for the October half term. We loved the house and felt at home as soon as we walked in. It is very nicely furnished and felt very spacious for just the four of us. The roof terrace was a welcome place to hang out, read, eat and sunbathe. It's worth noting that the property is at the top of a fairly steep hill from the main town and beach. This was fine for us but I was glad I hadn't taken my mum! It was great to have a TV, DVD and satellite channels - especially since it did rain a couple of times. Also good provision of books and games available. The town itself contains a number of restaurants but we did feel it was quite hard to find more basic fare at reasonable prices for discerning teenagers! Still, we had a great break and would definitely recommend the lovely accommodation.
Recommended for:  Tourists without a Car, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: It's not easy pleasing teenagers but at Baptista supermarket just 10 minutes away....they sell 'familiar' foods from frozen chips, Heinz Tomato Ketchup to Coco Pops
There is the Arte Burger Bar and a pizza restaurant down the hill.....

Lovely apartment and relaxing holiday

Review Submitted: September 16, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
The apartment was just as it was described in the advert and, if anything, the photos don't do it justice! It's comfortable, clean and equipped with everything you need. The pool is large and the sunbathing areas around it never felt cramped - even in the middle of August. Each apartment has its own loungers for around the pool which means there's never a race to reserve a space. The views over the bay are spectacular, especially from the roof terrace. It's an easy 5 minute walk down to the supermarket (not so easy uphill on the way back but keeps you fit!) and Baptista has everything you need. Plenty of nice restaurants within easy reach. Perfect for a relaxing holiday, with just enough other families around for the children to make friends, but not so many that you feel overcrowded. The beach was busy, especially on our first week when the Portugese were also on holiday, so we didn't venture down there much but no one minded because the pool area was so nice. A lovely holiday and we were very sad to leave!

Beautiful Villa in perfect location

Review Submitted: June 18, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
Have just returned after a fantastic week in Luz. The villa is in a quiet development - the pool is just steps from the back door and we had it to ourselves most days. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is located at the top of a steep hill however my 74 year old father managed the hill easily several times each day! The owners not only have equipped the villa to a high standard but left their invaluable recommendations for local restaurants. Luz has the perfect balance of a beautiful beach, quiet village and upmarket (but excellent value) restaurants. We would happily return to both Luz and Vila Serena again.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Girls Getaway, Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Thanks, Nuala.
The recommendations all come from our visitors who send their views to us after their holidays.
You will be very welcome to return.

A Home from Home

Review Submitted: April 28, 2010 Date of Stay: September 2009
This is not your average holiday accomodation; the owners have made the effort to provide the extras that make a house a home, for example, toiletries in the bathroom, decent dvds and games for the children; it is immaculate and comfortable. We all (2 adults, 4 childen) loved our stay here, we particularly enjoyed the pool which was practically deserted.
The village location is perfect for families with young children who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of larger resorts. There are plenty of great restaurants within walking distance, the highlight for us was tucking into 'cataplana' on the terrace of the Fortaleza restaurant, watching the sun set over the sea.
It's not necessary to hire a car here, we were able to travel up the coast and inland to the zoo using public transport.
We have no hesitation in recommending Vila Serena, a charming home in a peaceful location.

A review in Dutch.

Review Submitted: August 25, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Een prima huisje, met alles erop en eraan. Prachtig zwembad. Algarve is natuurlijk wel erg "Engels"..maar dat is voor ons geen probleem. Luz is een aardig dorp met een aantal leuke restaurantjes, maar verder niet veel te doen. Lagos is veel leuker met meer actie.
Genoeg strandjes in de omgeving en een prima locatie voor zon, zee en rust.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: The Algarve is very popular with all Europeans.
