About this property

Detached Villa with large pool, aircon and wifi in Praia da Luz, Algarve

Check out the short video about Casa Alimas (located in photos - number 3).

This spacious, yet cosy, detached holiday villa is set in a peaceful location, a short walk (less than 1km) from the centre of Praia da Luz and the beach. The 3 bedrooms (one double and two twins) usually accommodate up to six people, but can comfortably accommodate eight people. Each bedroom has ensuite facilities and patio doors.

Casa Alimas is licensed by Câmara Municipal de Lagos (the local council) as meeting all requirements of the Alojamento Local (AL) legislation for holiday rental properties. Registration number: 3890/AL.

A marble spiral staircase, with child gates, leads upstairs to the large, fully equipped kitchen and the lounge/dining room. A modern open-plan kitchen is well equipped with an induction hob, oven, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. A breakfast bar with stalls links the kitchen with the lounge. Three sets of patio doors lead onto the broad balcony with beautiful views over Luz and the Atlantic Ocean.

The large 10m x 5m swimming pool is walled for privacy with areas for sunbathing on all sides. The gardens are well stocked with flowers and fruit trees. An almond grove in front of the villa adds to the sense of peace and privacy. Fully equipped, including Air Con, fibre broadband wifi, Widescreen TV ( UK channels), iPod player, telephone, dishwasher etc. Ideal for family holidays. Private parking for three cars.

Praia da Luz is developing into a busy resort in the peak summer, but Casa Alimas offers a peaceful position accessible along a cobbled lane in the centre of Luz. 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.

Booking Information: Bookings for Casa Alimas are managed in the UK - send us an enquiry via HomeAway in the first instance after checking the availability calendar. During your stay, a local villa management company is on hand to deal with any queries you may have.

Great layout, ideal private location, just superb
We had a most amazing week as a family at this superb villa which is so well equipped and the layout is ideal. Contact was great from host and villa management. Pool though not heated didn't present a problem and was thoroughly used and enjoyed by us all and soon heats up given the sun shining which it did throughout the week

Great villa with view at Praia da Luz
A very comfortable villa in quiet area of the beautiful village Luz. We stayed in the winter period with 5 persons. A very good fireplace and aircos to warm the villa in january. An excellent sitting room for 6 persons and a high quality Wifi network. The 3 sleeping rooms with good beds and 3 bathrooms makes a comfortable stay possible.

Good sized villa for 6 adults with excellent views from the balcony.
We were really happy with the villa, it was a good size for 6 adults and is well maintained and clean. Communication with the owner and agent was very good. Good view over the town to the ocean from the balcony. Parking for three cars. The only downside for us was the pool area. It’s a bit bland and lacks any shade in the morning (the covered area shown on the photos is no longer there). The pool is also very deep (2.4meters for more than half its length) which meant the water was very chilly even in August. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

Fantastic place to stay!
We stayed for one week and absolutely loved it! The Villa is modern, bright, clean and comfortable and felt like home! The pool was a little chilly (came mid May) but no doubt if we had come later in the summer it would have been perfect! It look around 13 mins to get to the shop and around the same to get to town! Couldn’t fault the location and we were with older parents and young children. The management team were wonderful and super helpful and we had great communication throughout! Absolutely recommend and will stay again! Thank you for having us!

Lovely stay and great holiday
Just returned from a two week stay at this villa and we all had a great time. It is a lovely villa with excellent facilities and well equipped. Whilst there we a few issues at the beginning of our stay these which were quickly dealt with by the owner and the management team. The pool is a nice size but unheated and a little deep for us, however, we used it daily and had great fun doing so. Whilst Luz is close by, we found it a little too small and switch to Lagos which is just a 10-minute drive away. We would highly recommend this villa and should we visit this area in the future would certainly look to stay here again.

Fabulous villa
Spacious villa in lovely location. Stunning view from the balcony. We enjoyed a lovely week relaxing around the pool. Praia da Luz is a lovely small village with some good restaurants we especially liked Chiccas! Shops etc within 20 mins walking distance although it is uphill on the way back. Lovely beach but sea was cold!! Enjoyed a dolphin watching boat trip from nearby Lagos. Would recommend for s quiet relaxing family holiday.

Fantastic holiday in a great villa!
We really enjoyed our stay in this newly refurbished villa. It was spacious and every room had a bathroom which really helped. The kitchen was amazing with all the equipment and appliances which were new. The host was amazing where we received very useful information before our arrival. One host came to visit us a few days after to make sure that we have settled well and really made us feel most welcome. The pool was huge, clean and warm so everyone in the family enjoyed it. The villa itself is set in a quiet area of Luz with fantastic view of the sea. We will definitively come back here and I thoroughly recommend this villa!

Lovely Villa with a good view of the Atlantic.
A quiet area, good view from the top floor and the recently renovated kitchen opened up the living space to maximize the ocean view. A great location in terms of access and touring various coastal towns and it’s proximity to Lagos with an abundance of restaurants and shops made it a very strategic locale. Marena the housekeeper and the pool maintenance guy as well as Patricio who was managing some of the other Reno’s were all very friendly as was the villa management team!! Geoff, the owner was particularly helpful throughout. Very enjoyable stay - other than some pesky mosquitoes and the towels could have been a bit softer (but typical for line drying) otherwise had a superb stay!! Highly recommend.

Very nice Villa
Not much I can say that isnt good about the property. I is what we expected going in. The upper floor has gone through a renovation to modernize things a bit. The lowere level where the bedrooms are, is next. Not that it has anything to do with the home, but the laneway to the home is very narrow and we had a large van to accommodate our family, so that made it difficult but I managed. It was great to be able to shop and cook most of our dinners in the upgraded kitchen. I would stay there again and recommended it.

casa alimas
we found everything about casa alimas to our liking & needs we often visit this area and we found the location of the villa a nice easy stroll down to the village although a wee bit more challangeing on the way back up from a night out (ha ha) it was spotlessly clean & Marina who looked after the villa was most helpfull,the villa agency was also very helpfull on helping us out on a problem that occured (due to no ones fault,just one of those things that can happen to anyone anywhere where we had no water for a few hours due to a burst pipe in lagos) but the agency took care of us,we would love to stay at this villa again but as there's only 2 of us it would be too expesive for us for aug/sept but we would strongly recommend it

Privacy but walking distance to town
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.

Great stay at Casa Alimas
Just had the pleasure of 10 days at Casa Alimas. The booking process was really easy and the owner, Geoff is very helpful. We had a few questions before we arrived and he was great at giving us all the right information. He was able to put us in touch with the villa management company who arranged our private transfers and they were perfect. The villa is fantastic and in such a beautiful spot. Very secluded with stunning views which we enjoyed every morning at breakfast. The villa is very well equipped, beds are really comfortable and the pool is huge for a villa. We could stroll down to the beach and restaurants on Praia da Luz in about 15 minutes. The supermarkets were only 10 minutes away. There are a few hills to walk up from the beach and shops but nothing too bad. We did, however make use of Uber cabs now and again and they were great and very accessible. There are many restaurants around town and on the beach, our favourite was tapas at Boaty's on the sea front. I could certainly recommend booking through VRBO and Geoff for Casa Alimas as you won't be disappointed.
