Wir waren mit unseren drei Töchtern für zwei Wochen in der Wohnung zu Gast. Die Wohnung war mit den drei Schlafzimmern perfekt für uns. Insbesondere die Lage in Luz und der gemeinsame Pool haben uns sehr gefallen. Wir empfehlen die Wohnung gern weiter.

Great location family friendly
We had a great stay at this apartment. We are a large family with babies toddlers and teens and the apartment suites us well. Location great and easy for getting into town and the beach, pool is great. If you need the cot then take a sheet and bear in mind that there is no proper mattress for the cot. We also took our own travel high chair. Balcony possibly not the safest for young toddlers so we did not use this. Otherwise the pool and town well accessed with pushchairs. No air conditioning but plenty of plug in fans which were adequate even during the recent heatwave. We have travelled to the local area for several years but our first stay in Luz as the beach is very child friendly and the ice cream shop is great!

Danke für diese wundervollen Ferien!
Lieber Brian Vielen Dank, dass wir in deiner wundervollen Wohnung unsere Ferien verbringen durften. Es hat alles so wunderbar funktioniert. - Top Kommunikation von Anfang an, egaö welche "dummen" Fragen wir hatten, Brian hat immer super schnell und total nett geantwortet. - Alles was gebraucht wird, ist in der Wohnung da, vom Glätteisen über Sonnenschirm, bis Sandspielzeug! Mega! - super ist auch, dass man hier buchen darf, wie man den Flug günstig bekommt, also nicht zwangsläufig von Sa-Sa wie ja sonst in der Haptsaison meist nur möglich ist. - Bei 2 wöchigem Aufenthalt, bekommt man nach einer Woche alles frisch, sauber und aufgeräumt! ( sogar die Zimmer der 3 Kids) total gut! Aldo vielen Dank, wir kommen sicher wieder!

Wonderful stay
I can only echo what has been said before, we spent 3 weeks in the apartment and it was like a home from home. With 4 children 12 and under, they felt right at home and loved the place. The apartment has been beautifully kept and Brian was only ever a text away if I'd needed him. Very family orientated, which was great as the children were able to be entertained even on the one cloudy day we had. There were jigsaws, board games, TV and DVDs. 5 stars!

Wonderful Family Apartment in Luz
My husband and I, 22 year old daughter and 21 year old son booked this 3 bedroom apartment for our family summer holiday. We were delighted with the apartment itself and it’s ideal location within Praia da Luz. The main factors for us in choosing holiday accommodation include spaciousness, location, closeness to the beach, access to a good sized pool and reasonable price. The apartment at St James ticked all the right boxes! Communication with Brian the owner was extra helpful and enabled us to feel totally relaxed about our stay knowing that he could be contacted any time if required before and during our stay. I would thoroughly recommend this apartment. As well as the pool, there were lovely cafes and restaurants round the corner and supermarkets within a few minutes walk. The beach was close by too and we enjoyed walking along the promenade most days and evenings. A few days ago we walked along the cliff path to Bergau which was stunning. The holiday was just amazing and we can’t recommend the apartment highly enough!

Lovely apartment
We have been many times to St James apartments in Praia Da Luz. This apartment is spacious and offered plenty of room for two adults, two teenagers and two small children. The apartment itself was very clean, well kept and stocked with most holiday needs. I would strongly recommend St James and this apartment.

Well located and appinted apartment
We stayed in the apartment at Whitson - we found it incredibly quiet for school holidays but that may have been the weather!! We found it pretty well located for all amenities - about a 8 min walk to the main promenade - tho walk back a little steep! The pool was situated 30 seconds away across the walkway but sadly the pool wasn't heated so we weren't able to use it too much as the weather wasn't great for all of our stay. I think it would have been in more use had it been heated especially as quite a few younger children/toddlers were staying at the apartments. The apartment is modern and well decorated and very thoughtfully supplied with dvd''s and games. Very spacious and well equipped. My only slight niggle is that it would have been nicer to have more towels - 1 each per week is not really enough! Oh and we could not get TV to work!!! Apart from that I think a fair price for rental for this property and would recommend.

Fantastic holiday home
We loved our stay, having previously stayed at St James in a 2 bed apartment, we decided this year we needed more room. The apartment was spacious but so homely, well equiped, clean and felt like a home from home. Brian has been fantastic also, communication has been top notch, kept us update on everything and ensured our stay was a good one! Welcome pack is very thorough. The apartment itself is very well located, just a short walk to the beautiful beach, shops and some fantastic restaurants. The pool was cold but the kids enjoyed their time splashing about. We took giant inflatables but there was lots of pool toys in the wardrobe to use too. The complex is clean and tidy and even has a little playground for the kids too. Overall we couldn’t fault the holiday. We had a fantastic break, weather wasn’t fab but it didn’t dampen our holiday! We will definitely be booking again!!

Geweldig verblijf in St.James!
Sint James is een mooi complex, goed onderhouden en een gezellige sfeer. Tijdens ons verblijf voornamelijk engelstalige gasten. Het zwembad was fris, maar favoriet bij onze kinderen. Vooral met het warme Portugese weer een aangename verkoeling. Het ligt uitstekend gelegen op loopafstand van winkeltjes en strand. Maar net buiten alle drukte. Het apartement is ruim, schoon en gezellig. Netjes ingericht en onderhouden. Ook heel compleet (zelfs wasmachine, vriezer, strijkplank etc.). Ook tot onze verrassing 1x per week schone handdoeken en beddegoed. Het balkon is lang en smal, maar vanaf ongeveer 12 uur lekker in de schaduw. Ook het contact met de eigenaar (Brian) verliep heel prettig en kwam al direct betrouwbaar over. Hij gaf veel informatie en kwam alle afspraken na. Kortom: superverblijf!!

Perfect apartment in great location!
We had an amazing time staying in this beautiful apartment, so much so my children did not want to leave! The apartment is so much bigger than I thought, it's beautifully decorated and really felt like a home from home! Brian made the booking really stress free and was so helpful and friendly. The pools were fantastic and having a great sized kids pool was great for my 3 year old who was happy being able to stand in it. The location is perfect and only a 5-10 min walk to the beach which is stunning! We absolutely fell in love with Praia da Luz and this apartment so much so that I am already looking to book up again for next year!

A spacious, comfortable and well laid out apartment in a lovely complex.
This apartment was perfect for our party of 5. The pool area is lovely with two good size pools and plenty of loungers. It's in a quiet location but is only a quick walk to the seafront. Lots of parking on site. We love Luz anyway but this apartment really made our holiday. Brian was also really efficient and helpful throughout - thank you.

Lovely apartment in Praia Da Luz
This is a lovely apartment located near to the promenade and beach. The local shops are a short walk away. The apartment has wifi and a good tv system with all the English channels. It also has a selection of books and DVDs. It's clean, spacious and comfortable. The communal pool is a good size with lots of sunbeds around it. There are lots of places to visit around Praia Da Luz, like Lagos, which is just a short drive away and many beaches, like Burgau. The owner was very professional with the booking and was a great help with local restaurants and recommending things to do in the area.
