Villa Waterside

This place was an absolute paradise with picturesque views of the ocean, spacious rooms, and a fabulous terrace for lounging all within a few minutes walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops. Our family of 4 enjoyed meals beachside, long walks on the promenade and hiking the cliff trail. Miguel and the entire staff was incredibly helpful and responsive with all of our questions and also provided a very useful visitors guide for our stay. We were here during the low season so many shops and restaurants were still closed but we had enough options to enjoy our brief stay, and we happily escaped dealing with crowds while still enjoying pleasant weather. We would definitely return here!

The best place to stay in Lagos / Luz! Our family of 6 adults thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay here. All 3 bedrooms are on the ground floor. All rooms have AC and black out blinds, with access to a patio. Upstairs is an open layout that flows from the kitchen all the way to the beautiful patio with ocean view. It’s a 40 minute drive to Lagos, and a 30 min drive to Sagres. The Fisherman’s hike is only a 15-20min walk away. Very close to two well stocked grocery stores, and multiple restaurants. We wished we could’ve stayed longer!

Location, location! Breathtaking views all days and 5 min walk to everything including stores, restaurants, public transportation. Oh and the beach is right down the street, everything is relatively close by. Miguel is the perfect host, super responsive and had a wonderful place! About a 10-15 min drive to Lagos where you can do all the cave and boat tours. Would 100% stay hear again.

Miguel is an amazing host with great knowledge of local area and helps you get whatever you need while your stay in Praia Da Luz. Our family really enjoyed meals on the terrace overlooking the ocean.His taste is really good. Cant wait to visit again. Really thankful to Miguel and team for making our stay a memorable one.

Magic!!

Oh my goodness! Stay here! Our last morning I sat on the balcony looking out over the sea, listening to the birds and watching the sunrise. I didn’t want anything to ruin the moment. So serene!! If your goal is a lovely seaside vacation with a gorgeous view, a short walk to a fabulous beach, some tasty food and drinks a short walk away, stay here! The house is comfortable, clean, and home like… and the inside of the house doesn’t matter when you step on the balcony! The whole world fades away. The occasional laugh of a child or whiff of tasty cuisine is the only thing to remind you that you are in this world and not in heaven! If you want loud crowds, shops galore, or museums and many cafes, one would need to drive to a larger town, Lagos or further. In Lisbon people told us the Algarve was crowded and too touristed. We felt like we had the town all to ourselves and were only amidst a mix of internationals and locals. Each morning we would walk to breakfast and rent a beach palapa (20€) for the whole day. We bought a few beach towels as souvenirs. We were a family of three. The house would easily accommodate five comfortably, with enough room for beds and baths. The bathrooms are new and very well apportioned. The beds were comfortable and the sheets divine. We didn’t much use the kitchen, though it had all of the basics and a Nespresso machine! A few details: we drove and found parking no problem. In our four days we went to Aljezur for a sunset horseback ride, Lagos for a meal, and Portimao for kayaking the caves. All were easily accessed and a short drive away. We were grateful that we left our last day totally free and it was magic! Thank you to Miguel for his kindness and responsiveness! We will return, no question!

This place is a gem! The space itself is very well maintained and comfortable. The view of Praia do Luz is lovely, and the location cannot be beat! An easy 5 minute walk to the beach, and an easy drive to Lagos. Miguel is an incredible host!

Stayed there for 6 nights with our 3 teenage boys. Great location!!! 2 minute walk to the beach and same to some great restaurants. Grocery store was 5 minutes away. Luz was great. Would definitely go back to this town for a beach vacation and would also try to stay in the same beach house. 

The house is wonderful. Short walk to the beach, the balcony is beautiful as pictured. It is a quiet neighborhood but close to restaurants shopping and all you will want in a lovely home. Thanks so much!

Miguel's home by the sea is in a stunning location and was the perfect spot for our family of four (2 teens). He is an excellent and friendly communicator - he reached out several days before our arrival to assist and make sure we had what we needed, including providing a lunch recommendation as we traveled by car from Lisbon to Luz. Very much appreciated! The views from the top floor terrace are just amazing but, to be honest, we didn't spend much time in the villa because there is so much to see &amp; explore in the area. Miguel provides excellent recommendations which helps to make good use of your time. We loved wandering down along the boardwalk to grab a bite to eat and drinks. Our teens enjoyed the beach which was lovely. There is an excellent supermarcado within a few minutes walk. Lagos is a very short drive as is excursions to hike and explore the caves. We loved how accessible everything was from Luz and we really aporeciated returning to Luz. Luz is a bit more quiet/less crowded which was a perfect vibe for us -- we felt comfortable allowing our teens to explore on their own as it was easy to walk around. The people are so warm and welcoming. Highly recommend a stay at this lovely place!

Stop looking for other houses, this is it! The location is fantastic. It is a few minute walk to the beach, restaurants and grocery stores. The house is exactly as pictured and described. The view from the balcony is fantastic. Miguel communicated well.
