Your villa is superb ... by far the best we've stayed in so far.
It was clean and fresh and the beds were comfortable.
Having a villa manager living nearby turned out to be very helpful.

About the owner
We spent many years renting villas for our own holidays and were often dismayed to find poor beds, showers that didn't work well, utensils that bend when you try to use them etc. You get the picture! We eventually bought our own villa and equipped it as we feel a villa should be ... everything works as it is supposed to! The complimentary feedback we get from or clients tells us that we have got things right. We also think that it is important to have beautiful views to look at while wining and dining alfresco. We spend hours gazing across the ocean and headland from our spacious terraces. Our clients all seem to do the same!
Year purchased: 2003
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We bought our villa largely for our own use and chose the village of Praia da Luz for its unspoiled charm. We chose our villa for its situation. We wanted to be close enough to be able to walk to the restaurants, beach and supermarket, to be just out of range of the hustle and bustle of the village centre, and to be able to enjoy the fabulous ocean and headland views. A tall order, but we found just the spot! We're sure you'll agree with us.
Unique benefits of the property
We have a great garden which wraps around the villa. It links the quiet secluded area at the rear to the pool area at the front. Many of our clients alternate between going to the beach and just chilling out in the garden. The villa terraces are on the upper floor to get the views. We enlarged the front terrace because it is such a great place for sunbathing, dining, lounging, whatever you prefer to do on holiday.
Once you are at the villa, there is no need for a car. Everything is within walking distance ... and the local supermarket offers a free delivery service. This means you won't have to carry the water, food, wine and beer back to the villa.
