Villa de rêve
Nous avons séjourner dans cette villa du 6 au 13 juillet et ce fût le coup de foudre total. La villa est encore mieux que nos attentes et mieux que sur les photos. Les lits sont confortable, les salle de bain sont propre. La piscine est parfaite avec plusieurs chaise longue. La communication avec John était sans faille. Je recommande sans hésiter

Happy 60th and 30th!
What a week! We were a large group of 14 plus 2 small children, from 3 different areas of UK and USA! The villa was perfect, ample room for all of us. All the facilities and equipment we could need. Spotlessly clean. Pool was cold but a great refresher from the heat! Walking distance (20mins) to beach and a number of restaurants but uber also on hand for those less able. Great help and communication from owner and agent before and throughout the stay- thank you! We would highly recommend this villa!!

Great comfortable villa
Lovely spot near Vila Luz - great pool which was a lovely temperature. Villa was clean and well equipped. Despite the heat we were all very comfortable- from 16m to 70y! Praia da Luz is a short walk with friendly restaurants and bars and overall a great spot to relax.

Excellent All-around
An extremely comfortable stay! All 15 members of my group enjoyed spending a week here. Great location, house is really spacious, has a great layout, having a dishwasher and clothes washing machine were a plus, and having a pool was a plus for the moments when one didn’t want to go to the beach. All bedrooms but one have what I consider to be an en suite or adjacent bathroom — it’s just that only two bathrooms have a tub-shower combo rather than just a standing shower. Would definitely recommend this place for large groups!

Amazing property and location
Had a fantastic stay. We were a large group with a wide range of ages and it suited perfectly. Pool lovely and bedrooms nicer than the photos even show. Plenty of space for dining and a reasonably stocked kitchen. Lots of parking available. An easy walk to restaurants and pubs and swimming off the rocks nearby. All in all a fabulous place to stay.

Perfect family getaway
We enjoyed a lovely week in John’s house. It is perfectly positioned for easy access into Luz and the beach, while being in a quiet and peaceful spot. Having the aparthotel next door was also handy for coffees and drinks without walking far. The house is even better than it looks on the website - very spacious and with everything you need for your stay. We had lots of fun in the pool. We ate out several times in Luz and had good experiences. Some of our party wanted to surf and the drive to some excellent West coast beaches was only about 24/30 minutes away. A great holiday and we will certainly be planning a return trip to this lovely part of the world. Communication with John both before and during our stay was easy and efficient. Thank you!

Muy buen lugar. Cuartos comodos, muchos baños, cocina equipada. Pro: faltaba la parrilla en la barbacoa y el dueño proveyo una nueva en 2 dias. Contra: sillones del salon se les cae el tapizado y les han puesto inas mantas, pero se ven HORRIBLES asi. Dan mala impresion y ensucian el suelo. Fallaron 3 aires acondicionados y no se arreglaron durante la estancia, aunque dijeron q tratarian.

Great family holiday
An excellent large property with its own private large pool set in lovely surroundings with a lovely view of the sea. 5 of the 7 spacious bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, and 6 are air-conditioned. The house is family friendly within walking distance to the beach, restaurants and most amenities. The owners were very friendly and accommodating and easily contactable for the duration of our stay. As we didn’t all have cars we took the bus into Lagos from Praia da Luz on a couple of occasions. A thoroughly enjoyable week was had by all 15 of our family so we would definitely recommend it for large groups.

Perfect vacation for group
We had a wonderful stay. The location is perfect with walking/running/biking trails on one side and the village leading to the beach in the other, as well as beautiful ocean views. We had no issues with anything. John made it clear he was available if we needed anything but everything was perfect. We were a group of 18 and had plenty of space to spread out. The ping pong table was a nice bonus and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool. The village has great restaurants, bars, and groceries all walking distance. If we wanted more, Lagos was a quick drive away. Our only complaint was not enough containers to store leftovers, so minor! and we managed just fine. We easily rented bikes and also had a chef come to the house to cook for us one night (hence the leftovers). Perfect base for a great vacation!!

Excellent villa for large groups
We can highly recommend this villa for large family groups or friends. It is very well equipped and spacious. The owners are very friendly and helpful and contactable at all times for advise . We were a family group of 6 adults and 5 children and had a really lovely holiday. It’s worth paying the extra for the pool heating out of season. It was very well used by everyone.

Great Location
Enjoyed our stay in this lovely accommodation which was very spacious, we were a party of 17. Great sea views. I especially loved the white towels which were provided. It was close to the centre where there were plenty of places to eat, Boatys was our favourite restaurant of the ones we tried. We had a nice coastal walk towards Burgau. John was very attentive he replied straight away when we had a query.

Fantastic house with marvelous sea view
Fantastic house with a marvelous sea view! The house is very well disposed with lots of space. You will also find more or less all equipment you need and everything is well organised by the owner. Nice to have direct contact with the owners who lives in a nereby village. The house is situated in Luz with walking distance to the beach and the center. Luz is also a very nice and beautiful village with several bars, restaurants and shops. I can strongly recommend the house! Håkan T

Lots of room, simple decor
We had a great stay in Luz, we had plenty of room for all of our guests to do yoga on the patio and use the deck around the corner overlooking the water. The water is very close and there are beautiful vistas all around. There is a great hotel with a bar directly behind the property but it was never noisy! Nights were quiet at the quinta. The rooms are big and there are plenty of places to sleep. Things such as toilet paper, trash bags and paper towels are not included past the two rolls that are supplied, this was a surprise to us and not having a car we had to walk and get them. The furniture and decor is definitely enough for a large crowd, but is nothing fancy. If you want a beautiful location with plenty of sleeping space but spartan supplies, this is a great place. The only thing we didn't realize was that there would be family with children on the other side of the wall and the kids having water fights and cannonball contests were not very relaxing, but would be GREAT for a family. Thank you! Liz

About the host

Hosted by Mr John Nevins

Host profile image
The house is family owned. We have been holidaying in Portugal for over twenty years along with our four children and friends. After renting for many years we took the plunge and the house was purchased in 2005 and we haven't looked back! Portugal and more specifically Luz, has offered us a welcome break from our busy working lives. The children have also enjoyed the area having 'grown up' from toddlers into adults who now holiday there several times a year.

Why they chose this property

This property offers fantastic ocean views in a quiet and yet convenient location on the edge of the village of Praia da Luz. It offers excellent and spacious accommodation for people who wish to get away from it all with a larger family group or friends. The house is large enough to give everyone their own space, while at the same time having spacious indoor and outdoor areas for people to be together. Luz itself is delightful all year round, offering something for everyone. There are quiet coastal walks nearby, fantastic beaches with a wide range of water sports, picturesque villages and towns either a walk or short drive away, various sporting opportunities and most of all beautiful year round sunshine!

What makes this property unique

One look from the top balcony sold the house to us - the view is exceptional!
