Just what we required, a great relaxing time, everything as promised.

Clean, comfortable and well located. A car is must have for this property. Good for a romantic week for couple or for small family. A bit too small for two couples. The kitchen was good. Even the espresso coffee machine was the same as I have at home.

We and our friends had a fantastic holiday from the 26th of September till the 6th of October.
The house was very complete and it felt like
home immediately. Because we had such beautiful weather, we could have breakfast every morning on
the very nice balcony overlooking the gorgeous garden and swimmingpool. The description of the house was very accurate and did meet all our expectations. We enjoyed the beach, the food, the
dolphin boattrip, Lagos, Sagres and much more.
We would certainly recommend your house to our friends and we hope to be back soon.
Thank you again.
Kindest regards,

This property in my opinion was excellent in all areas.
Everything is close and easy walking distance.
The pool is clean and quiet so very relaxing during the day or enjoying the evening on the balcony.

I had a loverly week, the owners have catered for all, young and old alike. I am a lady of 80+ years. Even in late winter, it was warm during the day but got a bit chilly in the evening but the house was very warm and cosy. Most days I sat out in the garden and read my book. It did surprise me that most bars and eateries were open, particulaly liked the Lazuli bar for a midday snack and the Adaga da Marina in Lagos for an evening meal that was very good and very reasonable. I ate very well, with wine for 10 euros.  I have to say that the owners were extremely helpful, they helped with everything, nothing was too much trouble. As for Chris their manager, if only I was younger, he was so helpful. Thank you Roger and Margaret for a wonderful week, you have succeeded in making a home from home, not sure you could have thought of anything else. I will certainly be back next year, if not sooner.

23rd Sept to 7th October 2008

Just returned from one of the best holidays ever.  The peaceful resort of Praia da Luz is thoroughly recommended if you need a relaxing holiday.  We found the local people friendly and helpful.

The house was well maintained and comfortably furnished, it lacked nothing from the air-conditioning to the stock of DVDs and games to watch and play on the very rare wet day.  The gardens and large pool are of a very high standard and beautifully clean.  Compared to other properties we looked at it was very good value for money.  It exceeded our expectations and the pictures on the website did not do it justice.

The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could need to cook the most sophisticated meal, or you can eat out at dozens of restaurants and bars down near the beach which serve every kind of food that you might fancy from English, Indian, Chinese and African.  There is even an English and Irish pub.

The beach itself is beautiful, overlooked by the Black Rock and surrounded by blue sea.  Sit at an outside café, watch the many water sports, or just enjoy the sunshine.

Lagos was well worth a visit with its busy marina and shops - an opportunity for rides to watch dolphins or deep sea fishing.

The small surrounding villages were also very beautiful.

Finally, the English manager Chris was worth his weight in gold - especially when we locked ourselves out.  It was very reassuring knowing we could phone a number and speak to a fellow Englishman.

All in all the perfect holiday.

Second visit. This time was even better than last year. Felt like we were returning home. Will be going again in 2013. Weather fantastic, thank god for the air conditioning!. Pool superb, beach is just the best. Met some really nice people who were also staying which was great as the kids all played together. And met up with a family from last year again. Local shops are great &amp; we had some great meals out, returning to a couple of our favorite restaurants. Cant recommend highly enough.

Another Fantastic Holiday in Luz

Review Submitted: 19 September 2011Date of Stay: August 2011

 Our third trip to Luz and Journeys End and another fantastic family holiday. Our children are now at school so it was our first time during school holidays - thought the complex may be crowded but it was surprisingly quiet and had the pool to ourselves most days which was a pleasant surprise - very peaceful, relaxing and no rush to secure sunbeds!!
 Tried out some more western beaches this year too - Zavial our favourite - always (great waves for fun in the sea and fantastic restaurant), Bergau (busier but very child friendly and great restaurant), Martinhal (stunning and well worth the slightly longer drive), Journeys End still feels like home from home with everything you need for a family holiday.
 As this was our third year in Luz, we asked other families we met at the beach whether they thought we should try another country/resort next year and we were told "youre looking for something youve already found" which I think sums it up. Thank you Roger and Mac

Well what can we say - Third time in Luz, first time in over 17 years &amp; it was even better than we remembered. The accomodation aswell was fantastic &amp; it was just great for our 2 kids who spent hours in the wonderful pool.
Luz beach has got to be one of the best clean, not over crowded. The sea was beautiful. Running out of expletives!
Well how good was it really? Well weve just booked again for next year thats how good. Would recommend to anyone.
