The village of Espiche is about 1km from the resort of Praia da Luz. Espiche has several small shops/stores, a daily fish market, a bakery, several bars and restaurants within easy walking distance from the house. It is a typical sleepy Portuguese village with lots of narrow streets and walkways. Praia da Luz on the other hand is a bustling small town during the summer season, which overlooks a pretty sheltered bay, and has a very safe sandy beach and some amazing rock formations. Luz is well supplied with restaurants and beach bars, and there are some excellent clifftop walks to the neighbouring villages. There is a water sports school, and a scuba diving centre. Whilst Luz beach can get busy in the summer, there are lots of quiet beaches within a few miles along the coast heading west. After a day on the beach, come back to relax in this cool air conditioned house or enjoy the sunset from the roof terrace; then you can relax by watching your favourite UK TV programme!

New, nice and quiet!

EllenHubert Eindhoven, Netherlands
Review Submitted: October 1, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
The house is a fine place in sunny Portugal. Our son liked the little cats outside the house the most. He also liked the lady of the little bakery and al the friendly people at the market.

We liked the room and the comfort of the house. Sitting in the little garden in the evening. The fresh fish on the bbq and the stars in the sky.

Life is easy.

Hill Top Refuge

Stumblotts Battle, UK
Review Submitted: March 11, 2008 Date of Stay: February 2008
A really nice house, full of light, and well equipped (the only thing we missed was an electric citrus press to make good use of the abundance of local oranges; no problem! We bought one for a tenner in the Modelo s/market in Lagos). The location is quiet, marked by the dogs sleeping in the middle of the streets, and the views from the roof terrace are far-reaching towards the mountains and the parques eólicos. Night-time turns the terrace into a superb spot for star-gazing.
The house is well situated for road links to explore the whole of the southwest of Portugal as well as being close to beaches and the towns of Luz and Lagos.
Very happy to recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a relaxing time in a safe and secure environment away from the hubbub of tourist centres.
