About this property

Fawlty T - amazing 5-bed villa with pool & stunning views of sea & Luz

Fawlty Towers is a very attractive 5-bedroom property with private pool, situated in a quiet location at the top of Praia da Luz, yet only a few minutes’ walk to shops, restaurants and the beach.
The property is fully enclosed and accessed from a quiet cul-de-sac.

On the ground floor you will find the living/dining area, with dining table and chairs, a large sofa, some easy chairs and a central log fireplace. French windows open out onto a patio/garden at the side of the villa, where you will also find table and seating for some al-fresco dining.

The kitchen is very well equipped with a moveable island, fridge-freezer, oven + hob, dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine, kettle, toaster, juicer, food processor, among other appliances (all electric; no gas).

There are 3 bedrooms on this floor: one of the double bedrooms and the twin bedroom each have a full en-suite bathroom; the second double bedroom has use of a family shower room, just a little further down the hall.
On the first floor there are another two bedrooms: one is a double bedroom with full en-suite bathroom and and the other is a twin bedroom.
There is a further full family bathroom on this floor too.

A second living room is comfortably furnished with a large sofa, an individual chaise-longue and an open fireplace. A large flatscreen TV provides UK, PT & European channels; wi-fi is also available.
All bedrooms and both living areas have air-conditioning units to keep the house cool on those hot, summer days/evenings.

Up another flight of stairs is Fawlty Towers' pièce de résistance : an amazing roof terrace with spectacular birds-eye views of the village and the sea. This space is fully equipped for leisurely lunches and dinners, with built-in barbecue, fridge and sink, and comfortable seating for eating and relaxing.

On a lower floor (accessed from the kitchen) there is a huge games room that stretches the length of the house. Here you will find a pool table, table tennis table, foosball table, gym bike, wall-to-wall bookcase with plenty of books and some comfortable armchairs.
A bar with drinks fridge and bar stools is located at the back of this room.
Sliding doors open out onto an external staircase which leads up to the pool area.

Next to the games room/bar there is a laundry room where you will find the washing machine, iron and ironing board.
There is also a cloakroom down here, comprising toilet and washbasin.

Around the pool you will find plenty of sun loungers for relaxing, as well as tables and chairs for outside meals.
All the outside areas have good lighting, allowing for the evenings to be as enjoyable as the daytime.
This property is ideal for more than one family with plenty of rooms and areas for relaxation.

It is necessary to pay a refundable damage deposit on this property with your final payment. Providing there are no breakages this will be returned to you within 5 days of your departure.

The entire villa and all its facilities are completely private and for the exclusive use of its guests.

Super stay in superb villa

Our two families (10 people) stayed in this villa for a week in July. Absolutely excellent experience from start to finish, and we would definitely return given the chance. The villa is fantastic for older teens and adults; plenty of living space, very nicely furnished, and equipped with everything you could need. The basement level games room was a big reason why we chose this property and it delivered exactly what we hoped and needed. Roof terrace was another big hit. 10 out of 10 (including the local management and cleaning team).

Family holiday

Excellent experience from start of booking process until our arrival and then time to go home. Property is amazing. Clean, spacious and of a high standard. Roof terrace and games room in basement are fabulous additions especially to keep everyone entertained. Good location…. Hills to walk up back from beach and front but doable. Overall an brilliant holiday and experience

A beautiful family home

The attention to detail you have gone into when it comes to equipment is commendable, from utensils to equipment. Your assistance with the airport transfers will wonderful and the villa is exceptional. Pool wall could do with a touch up. A welcome pack may be a good idea that you include as an extra bread, milk, butter and fresh fruit and juices.

Just perfect

A beautiful villa with wonderful views. As a family of 10 there was plenty of room for all of us and the rooftop terrace was a fantastic place to enjoy evening meals. Good sized pool and the basement games room was well used in the late evening.Would love to go back as Luz is a great place for a family holiday. A full sized bbq on the roof terrace would be a welcome improvement. Bit of a chore carrying all the food from the poolside bbq up to the top although it did not detract from our enjoyment of the Villa

Absolutely nothing to fault about Fawlty Towers villa

Our two families (10 adults and late teens) rented this villa for a week. It was our first time in Praia da Luz and first time renting via Luz Villa Rentals. In summary we would not hesitate to use the company or to rent the villa again. The communication and flexibility offered by Gemma and co at Luz Villa Rentals in the weeks up to our stay was excellent and responses to questions were quick. Directions and check in info were clear. The villa itself is superb. Plenty of comfortable space for all of us and the place is well decorated and designed and exceptionally well equipped. The games basement room was a huge plus. Best villa stay we can remember! Cannot think of anything!

Fawlty Towers is a relaxing base to explore the Algarves

As a group of 9 with adults and young adults we found Fawlty Towers comfortable, spacious and well appointed. The roof top deck offered great views and was a comfortable place to relax with a coffee in the morning or enjoy an evening drink. The pool and deck were a great place to hang out and cool off while the young adults really enjoyed the game room. Additionally, with multiple living spaces, there was plenty of room for everyone, and the management staff were very responsive. The villa was located within easy walking distance of the city center which had a beautiful beach, nice cafes, good restaurants, relaxing bars and a couple grocery stores. We were only a short drive (or Uber) to Lagos, which is a bit larger and offers even more beaches, cafes, shops, restaurants and bars. I'd highly recommend Fawlty Towers as a great base from which to enjoy the Algarve region of Portugal!

Absolutely breathtaking property

Oh how I want to give this property 5 stars. It is one of the most amazing properties we've stayed at as far as beauty of both the property itself and the views! The amenities are very nice as well featuring well appointed indoor and outdoor kitchens, a great swimming pool & game room, and a rooftop terrace with sweeping ocean views. Dara, the property manager, was very helpful and friendly. The only reason this property is losing a star is the beds. The only mattress we felt was really comfortable was the upstairs master. The mattresses on the twin beds were OK. The king mattress downstairs was not very good and the double mattress in the downstairs master was terrible. It was no longer holding shape and very springy. It was definitely a shame for some of our party of 8 not to be able to get good sleep in such a lovely location. If the mattresses were upgraded to reflect the quality of the rest of the property, we would be giving it an enthusiastic 5 star review and would not hesitate to stay here again!

Stunning villa

The villa catered perfectly for 4 generations from 4 months to 79 years of age. Perfect location for accessing the beach and restaurants on foot. Villa was spotless and well stocked with kitchen utensils etc. The roof top with garden furniture, table, chairs and stainless steel outdoor kitchen is spectacular the views from here looking over the sea are incredible. Would highly recommend this villa for the perfect algarve stay. A key for the front gate would be useful for keeping the little ones save.

Conforto e aconchego na Luz

Gostei de tudo e foi num crescendo pois a casa lhe surpreende todos os dias, com novos e cuidadosos detalhes. É muito bem equipada e há uma preocupação de tornar a casa aconchegante e ao mesmo tempo funcional. Não parece uma casa de aluguel de temporada e sim uma casa com todo o conforto para se morar. O ponto alto é sem dúvida o terraço, que com a sua vista espetacular, proporcionou belos finais de dia, com excelentes vinhos e drinks. O nosso grupo era composto por avó, filhos e netos. (Dos 70 a 3 anos de idade). Para todos a casa ofereceu opções de lazer. A sala de jogos é um fator a mais para a alegria das crianças . A Praia da Luz é ótima para crianças e muito perto tem outras praias igualmente boas. Recomendo o passeio da Trilha dos Pescadores- de Luz a Porto de Mós que tem vistas lindas . O sentido Mos a Luz é mais fácil pois a subida é menos íngreme, Providenciar pequenos consertos chave do portão e da churrasqueira do terraço que não estavam funcionando. . Nada disso, porém, afetou a nossa estada, pois existe uma outra churrasqueira no andar térreo próximo à piscina. Sugiro também providenciar uma tesoura para a cozinha. Foi o único item que fez falta. São pequenos detalhes mas a casa é tão perfeita que vale a pena sugerir o que sentimos falta na nossa estadia.

Lovely time in the villa, more than large enough for a big group, it was really clean and the photos almost didn't do the property justice! Excellent stay!
