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 CHOOSE LEGALIZED APARTMENTS!

We have never been to Portugal and feel lucky to have picked Luz for our spot to stay. Our GPS did have difficulty directing us with the turns but once we found the apartment we had no trouble parking on the street. The flat is an easy walk to the beach, grocery store and restaurants. It is a perfect place for couples. Maria was a great host and all her instructions were helpful. Carla was easily contacted through WhatsApp. and she responded quickly to our questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. ##### Ruth H.

The apartment was a block and a half from the beach, multiple restaurants and the promenade which we walked every single day. We love the city of Luz, it is just the right size for our laidback stay and Lagos is just a 30 minute bus ride or 10 minute Uber ride away. Also, we did the walk to Lagos twice and it is not to be missed! Our host Maria could not have been nicer or easier to deal with - she responded to our every question super promptly. Thanks again Maria, you’re the best! ##### Mary Ruth B.

I cannot imagine a more perfect holiday stay. Maria, the hostess, provided a beautifully decorated and immaculately clean accommodation just a block up from the seashore and esplanade. The view from the patio, as well as the balcony, were both fabulous over looking the sea & providing great vantage points to admire gorgeous sunrises as well as sunsets. This accommodation was centrally located and everything in Praia da Luz was within walking distance. The apartment was fully equipped with everything one could need for a comfortable stay! You would be fortunate to find availability at this lovely seaside location. Maria is most definitely a 5 star hostess! ##### Karen Marie S. Stayed 28 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Roy P. 20 Oct 2024 Liked: Communication, location #### Great location, BUT!! The location was perfect! But everything in the apartment was DAMP. Including the pillows, the mattress, the area rugs (which really needed a cleaning). The A/C didn’t work, and we were told a tech would get there 3dayd later. The A/C. Could have helped dry out the apartment….there are also stone stairs to the apartment, with no hand rail. Slick in the damp…also, the arm to the loveseat was broken with a basket pushed up against it to try to hide it. But we Zloved the town!! ##### Roy P.

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 ##### John & Mary Lou D.

Quiet street but near everything. The beach the bus the restaurants and the hike. The sound of waves at night with everything you would need in the apartment for a wonderful stay. Easy to communication and we enjoyed the gift of wine and oranges for our arrival. We would stay again. ##### Mary Jo B.

And the beautiful little patio, with view of the ocean and the cliff- perfect spot for meals or just relaxing. Excellent communication prior to and during the visit. And the town of Luz is perfectly situated for exploring the Algarve. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sheila S. 31 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent location and communication with owner.

Maria's apartment exceeded my expectations. The view from the balcony was breathtaking, especially on those clear mornings when you could watch the sunrise from the balcony. The location is great and you can walk down to the beach in 2 minutes. I can only recommend it to anybody coming to Luz. Thanks Maria for a great stay! ##### Ralf S.

The apartment is in a great location, only 1 block up from the beach. It is well stocked with kitchen supplies and all you should need. The deck is spacious and a nice place for morning coffee or evening happy hour. The owner keeps in regular contact and helpful when needed. We would stay here again or recommend it to friends. ##### Paula M.

Maria’s apartment was delightful and lived up to all our expectations! It was very well equipped and very comfortable, especially the bed and the amazing hanging chair on the balcony! The location couldn’t be better - so close to the beach, in a quiet street (at night), and a short walk to the bus stop / supermarket etc. Communication with Maria was fantastic - she is super friendly and helpful and always very quick to respond to any queries.The only suggestion we would make would be (if feasible) to have a coded “key safe” outside the front door, rather than having to get the bus to Lagos to collect the key. All in all, a fantastic holiday! Thank you! ##### Julia W.

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... ##### maria m.

We spent four night during the off season at this cute town. Our arrival time was all over the map because of flight issues but the owner was incredibly flexible and responsive which was much appreciated. We arrived at 3 a.m. But the property manager didn't seem put out at all (there was a 30 euro surcharge which was totally worth waking up in Praia de Luz for!) Pros: a block from the beach, you can hear the surf from the bedroom, this beach is beautiful and there are plenty of places to have a coffee and look onto the ocean, street parking was never an issue for us, good internet (no English TV but plenty of German?!) Cons: the pillows and the couch were not comfortable (we ended up in folding the futon couch and using it that way,) this town has more Brittish expats than Portuguese so don't expect an authentic Portuguese experience and expect the prices to be on the high side for Portugal. ##### Morgan M.

Maria was the consummate host for our recent stay in Luz. Her property manager greeted us and gave us a wonderful orientation to Luz. Part of the welcome package was a bottle of local wine and sweets which was a lovely touch! The kitchen was stocked with all one would need including some spices and coffe pods. We, however, made our own coffee with the little espresso pot provided. The compact but cozy apartment is a two minute walk from the gorgeous beach. The balcony was private and had a beautiful view of the Mediterranean. We used the barbecue several times (we brought charcoal but there was already some provided) . We had a couple of minor issues (lock on the front door needed attention and blow dryer stopped working) but they were dealt with promptly by property managers Carla and Marissa. Since we stayed longer than a week, arrangements were also made to come in midway to clean and provide fresh towels and linens. Our only concern, which was minor, was that the shower drained slowly, but it encouraged us to be mindful of the length of our showers. All in all it was a fantastic stay. If you are a couple and are looking to stay in Luz, this is the ideal spot! Thanks so much for everything Maria!!! ##### Susan H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Silvana Q. 29 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Gute Ausstattung, Maria ist sehr nett und antwortet schnell bei Fragen.
