Praia da Luz is a family resort in the Western Algarve, just outside the attractive town of Lagos. The Blue Flag beach at Luz is a ten minute walk from the villa. At one end of the beach the Black Rock dominates the bay, with its remnants of volcanic activity. At the other end there are rock pools. In between there's a long stretch of golden sand. The paved promenade has a small number of shops and cafés along its length. There are plenty of restaurants in Luz and a good supermarket - all within 10 minutes walk from the villa. With the opening of the A22 motorway, it's a 50 minutes to drive from Faro Airport. Luz is an ideal location to enjoy the local beaches or to explore the rest of the Algarve. The historic town of Lagos, with its wide selection of shos, restaurants and an attractive marina, is just a short ten minute drive away.

Further details for this holiday villa rental in Praia da Luz / Luz, Portugal

The beach, shops and restaurants are all within 10 minutes walk of the villa. There are many good restaurants in Luz and even more in Lagos. The beach is protected by the famous 'Black Rock' headland and is very popular with the Portuguese. There are many quieter beaches within a short drive. The local villa management company can arrange many local leisure activities for you, such as tennis, water sports and horse riding.

Lagos and the Algarve: Between Luz and Lagos there are spectacular caves and grottos, accessible from land at Ponta da Piedade or by sea from various boat trips out of Lagos. The historic town of Lagos is just 10 minutes drive from the villa and has a wide range of good shops and restaurants. The main street fronts onto the river and the elegant marina. There are numerous beaches both to the East and the West of the villa. Other attractions include Zoo Marine - a seaworld park; Family Water Parks; Lagos Zoo (a small but very attractive zoo); Monchique and the hills, Cape St. Vincente ('The end of the World'); and the wilder West Coast. The nearest golf course is at the new Boavista resort just outside Praia da Luz. There are numerous other courses all along the Algarve.

Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
Sam, Norfork: 'First time to Portugal and to a villa. Alimas passed all expectations. The kids loved the pool, and we enjoyed the peace and quiet, along with the views. The surrounding beaches were great and not busy, would go again, no problems.' Andrew, Leeds: 'The villa was superbly located; close enough to walk into a village with all amenities but far enough away from traffic & beach noise to enjoy quiet seclusion. Villa had everything we needed and several days we were happy spending all day just going in and out of the pool !' Angela, Kings Lynn: 'We stayed at this gorgeous villa, the last week of June and first week of July. The villa is totally stunning, with beautiful views of the ocean from the upper balcony and the newly added air conditioning was great. Having your own pool is such a bonus, and I think every day of our stay we had at least one dip ! Praia de Luz is a lovely quiet town, with lots of great restaurants and some lovely shopping boutiques.'

Privacy but walking distance to town

BillU Bury
Review Submitted: June 29, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My wife and I and two daughters (ages 19 and 22) stayed for a week after they had both just finished exams. The villa accommodation is very good. The pool is large and totally private and is surrounded by a lovely garden containing beautiful trees and shrubs. It is deep which was great for us, but may not be ideal for a family with toddlers who can't swim. The balcony provides excellent views and usually a cooling breeze.
It is an easy walk down into Praia da Luz, although a little more effort is needed back up the hill! So a very tranquil location, but a car is not needed if you want to visit a restaurant in the evening.
I would recommend a car to explore the western Algarve and take trips into Lagos which is very close.
The administration and organisation were superb and there are very helpful information packs both in the villa and on the web.
Owner's Response: Thanks for the review. A quick note about the pool depth: It is about 2.3m (7 1/2ft) in the deep end and 1.1m (3 1/2ft) in the shallow end near the wide steps.

We stayed at Casa Alimas over the xmas/New year period 08/09 and had a fantasic time. The Villa is a beauty and was very well kept. It had everything we needed and a fantastic second floor deck with views out over the sea. Very relaxing place to stay in winter or summer. Good times!

Casa Alimas Oct 2008

TheBoltonDiplomats Bolton
Review Submitted: November 7, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
Casa Alimas is in a superb position in Luz - within easy walking of the beach, shops and restaurants, but in very tranquil surroundings. We found the villa to be well equipped, with just about everything we wanted. Highlights for our family were barbecues on the balcony - enjoying the spectacular view; swimming in the large pool and sunbathing in privacy. The kids loved the widescreen TV and appreciated the toys and games provided.

We've enjoyed a number of visits to Luz and were pleased to see that the resort is now looking better than ever with new pavements and a more 'finished' feel to it. Most evenings we would stroll down to one of the local restaurants - who all welcome kids, or stay at the villa for a barbecue. Luz is a very family-friendly resort, where we felt comfortable - and safe - with the kids.

We look forward to returning to Luz and Casa Alimas next year!

Great Villa - Perfect for a relaxing holiday

Chris&Debs grantham
Review Submitted: August 29, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
The arrangements and corresponence prior to travelling to the Villa were all handled very professionally and efficiently.

The Villa itself is about a 10 minute walk out of Luz in a very quiet peaceful area. The overall decor was in good condition and the amenities were very good. The view from the upstairs balcony was beautiful and the pool was great - the kids had lots of fun in it!!

We found Luz a little too "British" for our liking and overall we were a little disapponted in the food. Having said this Lagos is only a 10 minute bus ride away and this is much more varied in terms of culture.

The property was cleaned on a daily basis (excluding Sundays) and the maid did a very good job and was extemely pleasent.

We had a great holiday overall and we could not fault the Villa (air conditioning was an essential). We would certainly recommend to friends and if we travel to Luz again we would certainly stay at Casa Alimas again.

Chris.
