About this property
Beautiful 1 bed Apt with heated pool/sauna/hot-tub/gym
This fabulous apartment is part of the luxury Estrela da Luz Resort with a sea view from the lounge, bedroom, and kitchen.
Included in the rental is the free use of the indoor pool, sauna, hot-tub (all heated and working all year round), gym, tennis court, 3 outside pools (heated mid Apr to mid Oct) and underground parking.
Estrela is situated in a quiet location in the centre of Praia da Luz and just a few minutes’ walk from the beach, restaurants & shops. (Rental License -128060/AL)
The apartment is luxurious and stylishly furnished and offers many special features:
- Large double bedroom which can be set up with a king size double bed or 2 single beds.
- Living room with dining/TV areas.
- Modern kitchen with Nespresso & filter coffee machines, dishwasher and washing machine
- Twin sink bathroom with integrated shower/bath.
- Up to 2 full size extra single beds or baby cot(s) can be added in the living room or bedroom for additional children or adults, up to a maximum occupancy of 4 people.
- 2 balconies (1 with a table and chairs & one with chair)
- Air-conditioning for cooling or heating is also fitted.
- There is a 65”/165cm smart TV with a paid Netflix account set up for your immediate use and a full range of international channels.
- High speed Wi-Fi.
- A bookcase (feel free to take any books home)
Free underground parking space.
- One of the outside swimming pools is for babies and toddlers (45cm - 60cm deep)
- In addition to the inside and outside pools, hot-tub, sauna & gym there is also a beauty treatment spa (please check availability prior to booking), access to a multi-purpose pitch for football/basketball as well as beautiful gardens in the resort.
- ‘Chiccas‘ is the main restaurant in Estrela da Luz and during the summer months there is also a pool bar open, serving drinks and snacks.
Lastly, the apartment's windows and balconies face onto the sea and are therefore not overlooking the pools/bar/restaurant areas, which makes it a very quiet location within the resort.
The internal size of the apartment (not including balconies) is 88 Square Metres / 950 Square foot.
Estrela is a fully gated complex which makes it extremely secure and child friendly.
There is a 24 hour/365 days reception, where staff will be happy to check you in whenever you arrive.
The apartment is easily accessible by wheelchair (single level) and to the other floors.
Please also note that as a host we are legally mandated by Portuguese/EU law to provide visitors’ passport/national ID information to the Portuguese Border Control Authority SEF (Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiros). In order to do this, we will require a copy of everyone’s passport or national ID card (including children) who are staying in the apartment, prior to their arrival at Estrela da Luz.

About the host
Hosted by Michael Tiernan & Helene Leuschel
We are a British/German couple who moved to the Algarve in 2009, with our two young children, after falling in love with the area. Ever since moving to Portugal we have not only grown fond of the friendly welcoming nature of the Portuguese people but also the incredible life style of living by the Sea. The sun (over 300 days of sunshine each year) & stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean are still jaw-dropping, even after all these years and we have been able to explore the area and its numerous attractions and places of interest with great pleasure. We love having a beach picnic as much as dining out at one of our favourite local restaurants & we are sure that you will too!
Why they chose this property
We purchased the property, because we just love the quiet and picturesque location of Praia da Luz. Being demanding travellers ourselves, we wanted something that offered all of the luxuries that are needed, to make a holiday very special & after a very long and thorough search, we found an apartment in Estrela da Luz, that literally ticked all of the boxes.
What makes this property unique
We really do feel that our apartment is very special & enjoy it for a host of reasons - it’s luxurious, very spacious, has sea views from the lounge, kitchen & bedroom, there is access to all of Estrela’s facilities - heated pools, Jacuzzi, Sauna, Gym, tennis courts, gardens & it’s only a short walk to the beach & all local amenities - Restaurants, supermarkets, shops etc. It is very comfortable all year round, with air-conditioning & heating……yes, even though the sun is always close by, it can still be a little chilly in January! We also appreciate the special little touches, such as free parking & wifi, lots of space for kids beds/toys etc, a 24 hour reception & last but not least, a decent sized TV to relax in front of with a glass of wine, after a long ‘hard’ day at the beach :-)
