The split-level villa is on a large plot with a variety of terraced areas on different levels and with different aspects. There is a bright indoor games room with a ping pong table which is accessed from a lower terrace.
The villa is surrounded by fragrant colourful plants and climbers which add depth and character to this charming villa which is ideal for a fantastic 'get away from it all' relaxing family holiday!
The villa is walking distance to the centre of the charming village of Luz which has lots of restaurants, some bars and supermarkets and a fabulous, sandy Blue Flag Beach. Near the beach there is a wonderful paved area and promenade with seats shaded by large palm trees where you can sit and enjoy the views of the beach, the sea and the lovely coastline. There are market stalls and cafes near the beach and sun loungers for hire, and there are two water sports centres at the beach offering a range of sports and trips.
Boa Vista is the nearest of many golf clubs, about 5 minutes by car, and there is a good riding stables about 10 minutes away, with various other sporting activities are catered for in the area.
From Luz you can walk to coastal path westwards to Burgau, Salema and beyond, or eastwards climbing up to the beacon on the headland and continuing on to Porto do Mos, Ponte da Piedade, Praia da Dona Ana and Lagos. This path is obviously not suitable for small children or buggies!
Lagos is the capital of the region and has an illustrious history, with sturdy defensive town walls and castles still in evidence inside of which the narrow cobbled streets are packed with shops, restaurants, bars as well as old churches and lots of dwellings along a myriad of small streets. It is also a very friendly, easy going town with a super waterfront and a large modern marina across the river and a handy pedestrian footbridge to cross the river. To the east of the marina there is a 4 km long stretch of sandy beach called Meia Praia, while back on the city-side of the river there are some gorgeous small coves nestling between huge cliffs. Lagos has a large daily fish market and a weekly farmer's market both of which have staggering choices on display, and well worth a visit.
The coastline to the west has wonderful beaches, coves and fishing villages while the western coast, which is only about 20 minutes drive, has miles and miles of stunning coastline with huge cliffs interspersed with beautiful little coves and beaches with Atlantic rollers that attract many surfers all year round.
