About this property

Cozy Apartment with Stunning Sea Views, One Minute Walk from the Beach

This is our lovely 1-bedroom apartment in the beautiful Portuguese village of Praia da Luz. The building, a cute two-story condominium, is located in a beautiful garden with flowers and palm trees. The view from the apartment, which is on the first floor, is breath taking - overlooking the beach with the majestic Rocha Negra at the east end. The sandy beach is only a short walk away, and so are all of Luz's tasty restaurants. Whether you need a pharmacy, grocery store, bus stop or post office – everything is reachable within a few minutes. Not to miss the fabulous ice cream parlour next to the Fortaleza. Still you will find the area around to the apartment to be quiet and peaceful. It's the perfect spot for a holiday.

The apartment has one bedroom with a double bed, a bathroom, a kitchen with a pass-through bar and a lounge with access to the south facing balcony. Free internet is available through a wifi hotspot, and there are public parking spots both in front and the back of the house.

The kitchen and bathroom have been fully renovated in winter 21/22, including plumbing and electricity. The kitchen combines traditional Portuguese style with modern comfort: a custom built kitchen unit with Lagoa granite countertop, traditional tiles, brand new energy-efficient dishwasher and an induction stove. The new bathroom, which features a walk-in rain shower, has gorgeous hand-made Portuguese tiles on both the floor and the walls.

You will find a modern washer/drier and a brand new air conditioning at your convenience, and we have replaced all windows with double glassed quality windows in 2019. Please note that there is no TV and microwave in the apartment, and that the coffee machine is an Italian style coffee brewer.

Perfect location, view and accommodation!
The apartment is beautifully laid out, all the required amenities are there like the umbrella for shade on the patio with a breathtaking view. Quieter area from the main drag but 5 minutes walk to everything. Highly recommend Real Pizza and Curry, Boaty’s for tapas, Bosman’s The Dolphin for a special dinner. The sunset is worth the 5 min walk to the outlook by the wall. Bring good tips for the talented buskers. The host was great to work with!

We would stay again. Communications were great for checking in and answering any questions. Location is ideal if you want to be close to the beach but far enough away to have some quiet. The private balcony is stunning. Well equipped very clean. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Stay in Luz
We loved this apartment in Luz. It's such a great spot. It's so close to the beach. And the view is AMAZING! The apartment had all necessary mod cons including beach towels/umbrellas etc. It was sparkling clean, a/c, good wifi, parking, close to many restaurants/shops & communication with Ralf was great. We had such a great holiday & will definitely return!

Cute well-equiped apartment with the perfect sea-view
I rarely write a review about my vacation accommodations, but this one deserves it. The apartment is super cute furnished and has everything you could need! Even umbrellas for the beach were there and the kitchen had great equipment. Especially great is the proximity to the beach, just wonderful. Also Luz is a totally nice and quiet place with some restaurants which are all quite close. Here you can spend a great vacation and relax. I can only recommend to book this apartment, we enjoyed it very much.

Really magnificent
The appartment is beautiful and very well located. Luz is a small city with a lot of nice restaurants and is a perfect spot to relax. Furthermore, it is the perfect hub to check out the coast of portugal. The balcony in this appartment is where we spent almost every sunny breakfast and late night drink. You have a beautiful view over the beach and the mountains as seen in the picture. We stayed 9 days and will come again for sure!

Spectacular Location
Spectacular location! The apartment was much larger than expected and has clearly recently been updated. Everything that we could have possibly needed was provided and easily located. The view of the beach was amazing! It was so great to be able to walk to all the many restaurants available in Luz. Having the outside spigot to wash off sand from the beach was so lovely! Really amazing rental that if you have the chance to book, you definitely should. We definitely plan to stay there again when we return on our next visit with family.

Beau village, belle plage, belles vacances
Lieu de villégiature très agréable, très bien situé, très bien équipé surtout au niveau électro-ménager. La mer est même visible de l'espace cuisine. Deux chaises du balcon, sur trois disponibles, sont trop hautes par rapport à la table, une 4ème chaise est nécessaire. La table du balcon est un peu petite. Le service conciergerie est très réactif et parle français.

Nette Fewo im ruhigen Praia da Luz
Eine entspannte Zeit, Supermarkt Bapista war gut sortiert und um die Ecke. Man kann von der Wohnung bequem sowohl den Westen als auch den Süden der algarve besuchen. Sehr schöne küstenwanderung von Luz nach Lagos, herrliche Aussichten und sogar kleine strandabschnitte mit etwas kraxeln erreichbar. Der Strand vor der Tür ist ebenfalls sehr gut. Die Wohnung ist zweckmäßig eingerichtet, Bad tolle Dusche. Es hat alles gepasst. Sonnenschirm war leider bereits kaputt.

Why they chose this property

We have been falling in love with the Algarve many years ago because of its pristine beaches, the excellent surf and great weather. Luz turned out to be the perfect hideaway and after years of staying in different places we made our dream come true with this beautiful apartment. With it's breath taking views overlooking the beach, the beautiful garden in front, and all of Luz's amenities just a walk away, it's the perfect spot for a holiday.

What makes this property unique

The view from the living room is an eye-catcher - from a slightly elevated position you are overlooking the beach including the majestic Black Rock at the very end - it's just stunning.
