The perfect holiday apartment for all
Review Submitted: July 12, 2009

I can not recommend this apartment highly enough. It is situated with easy access to Prai da Luz and many other small villages along the coastline. The apartment itself is beautiful.
When we arrived and opened the door we were more than delighted with what we saw. The apartment is exceptionally clean and tidy and all the fixtures and fittings are of excellent quality. It is the nicest apartment that we have ever been lucky enough to book. There was everything that we could possibly require in the apartment and excellent kitchen and bathroom facilities. It was spotlessly clean and very well maintained.
There are two swimming pools in the garden; one adult size and a second smaller one for the children for anyone not wishing to go to the beach. It is completely safe due to the key only access for the guests.
There are many places to eat out either in Prai da Luz or any of the small villages near by. There is also an English Pub for those who enjoy a good pint and good lunch time snacks. We liked the African restaurant in the town. It is child friendly, always busy, has superb food and I advise anyone wishing to go to book first.
Our favorite village was Bagau a couple of miles to the west. The beach was very safe for children and the cafe/restaurant was superb. The food was exceptional; from sandwiches to a full meal.
If you want an apartment that is just that little bit special this is it !!
I will certainly recommend it to any one I know who wishes to visit the western Algarve.

Very Accurate Description

The description of 10 Vilamar is a very true and accurate representation of this apartment. It was modern, clean and well maintained. There is a hair drier which is not listed. The barbeque is worn out and needs replacing.
The owner, Jeff, was very helpful and provided very good customer service and advice throughout.
Users of the apartment are allowed access to the hotel facilities (pools, bar etc.) and the hotel manager gave us unlimited access to his high speed wireless internet LAN for a very small charge. (available in the bar and reception).
During our 20 night stay, bed linen changing and cleaning took place on days 6 and 14 and towels were changed on days 6, 8 and 14.
I would definitely recommend this apartment to a friend and I would definitely return again.

Owner's Response: I feel it is important to provide good customer service and advice throughout the process of booking as it gives people confidence and provides a personal touch.
The barbeque does get used a lot and it will be replaced forthwith.

We spent a week very nice. The appartment is quite silent, with a fantastic terrace where you can have your breakfast or lunch watching the sea.
All the appartment is completly furnished (you will find all kinds of details into the kitchen), very confortamble indeed.
I sincerely recommend this nice place to my friends.

Owner's Response: The apartment is comfortable, relaxing and well equipped.
It has three terraces which are ideal to have a meal, have a drink or sunbathe in private.

We were more than delighted with the apartment.Everything was spotlessly clean ,well maintained and was equiped with everything you could need for a holiday. Lovely new kitchen with all mod cons.The lower balcony is a real suntrap and is equiped with sun loungers. It was within easy walking distance of Luz and an ideal base for exploring the west coast by car. The complex is ideal for family use, pool,tennis court and snack bar.Easy to find with great directions from the airport.Would definately recommend this property.

It’s a long while since my wife and I have had a holiday together without the kids and so this was very much a second honeymoon for us. We had looked forward so much that we were a bit worried that things would never reach our expectations.
We had hired a car from from Hertz at Faro airport and the apartment owner had given us excellent directions for the trip down the coast. It was a leisurely drive and not a bit scary. When we arrived at the Vilamar, we went straight to the apartment. It was spotlessly clean and well prepared for our arrival. What a fabulous place and we really appreciated all the small things that just added to a really lovely feeling of being welcome and at home.
We felt a little guilty that there was no-one else to share the place with, as it is so roomy, but that didn’t trouble us for long. We stayed in on the first night and were very impressed with what appears to be a brand new kitchen. After we had eaten we sat on our bedroom veranda and watched the sunset over the sea. It is so peaceful here and the breeze keeps the apartment quite cool.
We had a lovely stay. Some nights we were happy to stay in and the DVD collection was a real bonus.
The resort is really lovely, if a little sleepy, so we were pleased we had hired a car. Lagos is a great place to visit if you need a bit more activity, although we did get lost in the maze of streets. We did around 450 km during our 9 days and visited lots of beautiful beaches, towns and mountain areas, but it was always so nice to come back to our apartment at Vilamar. Hopefully we can come back again !

Great Location - Nice Unit
Review Submitted: April 19, 2009

My husband and I spent a wonderful 9 days in Luz in April 2009. The unit definitely enhanced our stay.
On arrival we found it to be well presented, well equipped and spotlessly clean (something I value highly). The only slight downside for me was that I found the bed in the master bedroom to be a touch firm. Also the tiled floors can be quite cold in the cooler months, so take some comfy indoor footware with you.
We made great use of the balconies. Early in April the see breeze can still be cool, but lying on the loungers provided gave us full access to the sun with protection from the breeze!! Perfect combination.
Luz itself was a lovely surprise and we couldn't have been happier with our choice of location. The unit is well situated to give a good sea view. The complex itself is nice and quiet but close enough to the centre of the village and Luz beach to be reached on foot.
The facilities within Luz should cater for most tastes - we were surprised at the number of different resturants available. The local supermarket was well stocked and served our purposes, although for some items, they can be a bit pricey. If you're needing a bigger supermarket, I'd recommend the going to the Algarve Shopping Centre enroute to Luz from Faro
Our Algarve site-seeing highlights included the forte at Cape St Vincent +-30km west of Luz. (If you're intending to visit - take a jumper it can be very windy) And the stunning rock formations at Ponta Da Piedade near Lagos - definitely worth visit.
We had great holiday.

Owner's Response: We always pride ourselves on ensuring that the apartment is always spotlessly clean and the three balconies are a great way of getting some 'space'.

My family and I have just returned from this apartment and would highly recommend it. It was just the write size for the 4 of us and was like being home from home.
When we arrived the apartment was spotless, we stayed for 12 nights and during this time the apartment was cleaned twice and new towels provided.
I would highly recommend this apartment for your stay in wonderful Luz.

We stayed as a family of 4 at 10 Vilamar in July 2008 and found it to be everything we wanted from this type of holiday. Lovely apartment, clean, fresh, spacious and is very well equiped. Great pool area with very handy snack bar. Wonderful views of sea. Short pleasant stroll to beach and restaurants but located in a quiet area. We highly recommend it.

I would firstly like to say what a great apartment. We spent 5 days ar Villamar & the apartment had everything would could of needed & wanted. The pool area was great, very quiet.
The sun loungers on the balcony of the apartment were a plus as they were alot more comfortable than the one's round the pool!
We had a great holiday thanks very much for letting us use your lovely apartment.
Already recommended it to friends & family!
