About this property

WAKE UP TO THE SOUND OF THE SEA T1 CENTRAL-AIR CONDITIONING (FREE WIFI) 3 MIN BEACH

If you think this is the right place for you .... book the apartment and enjoy all that this friendly village can offer you
One-bedroom apartment with double bed, fitted wardrobe and a fantastic balcony with fabulous east-facing views, table, chairs and a grill allow for great alfresco dining; a bathroom, kitchen and a common room with a small balcony facing west.

FREE PARKING:
You can park on a small road next to the apartment. Usually there is always place to park, don't worry!

IMPORTANT:
Since 2015, Portugal has enforced a longstanding law that requires anyone who offers paid holiday accommodation to record the entry, departure and identification details of all non-Portuguese citizens using such accommodation. This law came into force in Portugal and most other EU countries sometime since the gradual implementation of the 1990 Schengen Agreement, which aims to prevent trafficking in human beings and other illegal practices. In this case, it is specifically Article 45 of the Schengen Agreement and the recent law on local accommodation in Portugal which has made this rule clearer.
For this reason, all guests of all bookings need to provide their passports so that we may have the necessary information.

The apartment has free WIFI but you can also have access to 4G Mobile Wi-Fi (for when not in the apartment) available for € 10 for bookings up to 7 days; 15 € plus 7 days (Internet sharing up to 6 users / devices) Internet connection wherever you go (Losing or breaking Mobile Wi-Fi entails payment of 70 €)

From November to April inclusive, an extra energy charge of € 15 per week will be charged

Monthly Rentals: Between November and end of February stays of 30 days or more (Low Season Monthly rate) DOES NOT include maid service or laundry, it will always be considered an optional extra service, which costs 25 € per week per week. both

What my guests loved the most:

Svenja (Mar 2017) the mattress was really comfortable!

Marc (Oct 2016) Tout

Anne (Sept 2016) I felt Maria had put a lot of thought into what her guests would need staying in the flat. The pictures accurately reflected the flat and its environs. The location was superb and I didn't feel the need to move far from the flat - it was just so comfortable.

What do you think should change:

Sven (Oct 2015) Nothing to do. It is perfect.
Martine (Oct 2015) super mieux faire difficile
Mél (Oct 2015) Dommage que nous n'ayons pas rencontré notre hôte. Cell dit nous avons when même bien été accueilli
Bhavesh (Aug 2015) Unfortunately the address provided did not have enough information for our taxi driver to find it. It was very frustrating. The check in time is very late, with an early check out time (although to be fair to the host, it is clearly and accurately listed).

Rented this property on foot of very good reviews and it totally lived up to those appraisals and our expectations. Two days home we look forward to going back to Luz and the care of Maria and her on site agent Carla- Thanks

Cosy apartment
A beautiful, snug apartment providing an awe-inspiring view! We just loved our stay in this apartment! A very welcoming and beautifully decorated place planned carefully to allow a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Amazing view from the balconies, just few steps to the beach. Next door to the delicious bakery and few minutes to the supermarket. We arrived quite late and was so thoughtful to be welcomed with a beautiful basket of fresh fruit and wine... Thank you Maria for your clear, fast communication (also for providing a good Wifi (my 12 year old son loved it!) Thanks Henrique and Carla for your attention and having everything beautifully organised to make us feel very special! We definitely recommend this place...

Rua Praia Luz
Our only regret was we had to leave. Obviously we select a rental by its attractiveness but as travelers, our next most valued criteria is responsiveness by the owner. Maria is the best at this we've experienced. Our local contacts, Marcela, Marcia and Sonia were also top notch. The hospitality was outstanding, from the wonderful welcoming package to the parting Easter cake - we felt like part of the family. The apartment was just as excellent. It had all the amenities one could ask for. The back balcony with a great view of the cliffs protecting the bay of Luz and also overlooking the ocean was great with the morning sun, while the front balcony was nice for the evening sun and just to admire the view down to the beach. The beach with all its wonderful bistros is just minutes away. Added to all of this is the town and beach of Luz which is a total gem. If you're a beach person, a surfer, or a hiker, or just like the ambience of the local restaurants, Luz has it all. We loved it. John & Mary Lou, Canada
