Owner profile
Kirby Family down the coast at Cabo San Vincente
About the owner
The Kirby family had been to Luz twice before buying 'Casa das Calcadas'. It was always a hit with our children, being the scene of many significant achievements in their lives such as building sand castles, learning to swim, mastering the art of a successful serve at tennis or simply cycling across the top of the cliffs to the next village, Burgau. They have always loved being there. Even when they became difficult teenagers, it held sufficient attraction for them to holiday with us willingly!
Year purchased: 2002
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Easter 2000 saw us in Praia da Luz on a tennis activity holiday. Somehow by the end of that short holiday we had signed for an off plan home that would be ready in 2002. It was unquestionably an impulse buy. We have never regretted it, and it has given us and our four children immense pleasure. Some of our children are now young independent adults but they always like to try and join us on holiday in Luz. It's just that sort of place. there's something for everyone there or in nearby Lagos.
Unique benefits of the property
Despite being right in the heart of the village and close to all necessary amenities including beach, supermarket, Bank, restaurants etc. our house is peaceful and relaxing. The first floor balcony which is ideal for alfresco dining or just reading your book and chilling, looks out over rooftops to the Ocean and the clifftops to the east side of the bay. We love the arrangement of the bedrooms downstairs (for coolness in summer) and the superb sea views from the upstairs living areas and balcony.All bedrooms look out onto private gardens at the front and rear of the property, stocked with bouganvilea, hibiscus, plumbago and our very own lemon and palm trees.
