We love this place

Over the last 30 years we’ve stayed at Quinta Mimosa many times. It’s a little dated now but that just adds to its charm. The peaceful surroundings and fabulous views are a recipe for instant relaxation. Swimming, reading and barbecuing with the beach and restaurants a ten minute walk away - perfect

Amazing. Pictures don’t do it justice

The villa is amazing. We were 8 of us (kids aged 1,3,12,15) Very spacious villa with an amazing outdoor space. The grounds and location are big enough that although you’re in the middle of luz you feel you are away from everything. All facilities we needed for the younger kids. 10min walk down to the beach which our 3year old did with ease. The pool was heated to a lovely temperature. The only thing the villa would benefit from is air conditioning throughout the summer months. Most of the week the temperatures were fine with the fans , but when the temperatures increased it was a little uncomfortable at night… would 100% go back and hope to on the near future. ***100% recommend***

A great villa for lazy days relaxing by the pool

The villa is very spacious with a large open plan living area, a couple of outdoor eating areas, a games room and four large double bedrooms (all ensuite). The beach and supermarket are only a 10-15 minute gentle walk away, though we ended up spending most of our time in the pool which is surrounded by a lovely private garden and tall trees giving total privacy. The only minor gripe was that some aspects of the property are starting to feel a little less well maintained.

Nearly perfect

Quinta da Mimosa is a beautiful, large property that lacks nothing by way of amenities. It may be getting a little tired but generally it is a perfect spot for a family or large group. We had some difficulty checking in as the code was sent weeks before and being non-Europeans we had no internet access to retrieve it from our emails. (Our bad for not retreving it earlier).The owner was super quick to help us out, however. Please note if you plan to use the oven, there is a learning curve. Finally, we would highly recommend Quinta da Mimosa as it is a quiet, restful property in a vibrant area. Thank you to Ruth, Sylvia, Jinny and Natasha.

As advertised!

We stayed with 7 people (5 adults and 2 children) at Ruth's place for a week the beginning of May. The villa is located on a hill and provides a great view over the sea. The four bedrooms are spacious, each room has its own bathroom with toilet. The swimming pool is (green-)heated to a comfortable 30 degrees Centigrade, the children could play all day in it. There is a choice of seating locations to enjoy your meals: a sheltered balcony for breakfast, near the swimming pool for dinner and next to the BBQ for.. the BBQ! Based on the pictures in the living room it seems that the owners are also staying here which provides an authentic feel to the place. There is plenty of everything: a large BBQ, a large kitchen with a stove, two large refrigerators, plenty of cutlery, plates, cups, glasses etc. There are two supermarkets nearby and the Intermarché Hypermaket and the Fish Market in the Mercado Municipal in Lagos (a 10 minute drive) provide one-stop shopping for everything else. Luz is a nice village with a great beach (but note that the sea is quite chilly in May) and lots of restaurants and bars to enjoy. Visiting the beaches at the Atlantic Ocean (a 30 minute drive) to enjoy the swell for swimming or surfing is highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Ruth E Mason

My name is Ruth Mason and my parents purchased Quinta Mimosa in the late 1970s. Ownership has now been handed down to the next generation and it is our holiday home. All ages enjoy Quinta Mimosa from the very young, teenagers to the more sedate.

Although Portugal has altered greatly over the past 50 years, the magic which is Portugal has not and the Mason Family young and old still love it as much as today as we did when we first arrived all those years ago.

Primarily this is our holiday home and we hope all our guests, and we have had many over the years, enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

At Quinta Mimosa you can either "lock the doors" and just soak up the atmosphere requiring only good company, a swim, food and drink or venture down to Praia da Luz or Lagos for restaurants, shops and people. At the end of the day however, you always return to your own piece of Portugal, self contained and yours for your stay.
