About this property

Detached Villa with large pool, aircon and wifi in Praia da Luz, Algarve

Casa Alimas is a spacious, yet cosy, detached holiday villa is set in a peaceful location, a short walk (less than 1km) from the centre of Praia da Luz and the beach. The 3 bedrooms (one double and two twins) usually accommodate up to six people, but can comfortably accommodate eight people. Each bedroom has ensuite facilities and patio doors.

Casa Alimas is licensed by Câmara Municipal de Lagos (the local council) as meeting all requirements of the Alojamento Local (AL) legislation for holiday rental properties. Registration number: 3890/AL.

A marble spiral staircase, with child gates, leads upstairs to the large, fully equipped kitchen and the lounge/dining room. A modern open-plan kitchen is well equipped with an induction hob, oven, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. A breakfast bar with stalls links the kitchen with the lounge. Three sets of patio doors lead onto the broad balcony with beautiful views over Luz and the Atlantic Ocean.

The large 10m x 5m swimming pool is walled for privacy with areas for sunbathing on all sides. The gardens are well stocked with flowers and fruit trees.

The villa is fully equipped, including Air Con, fibre broadband wifi, Widescreen TV ( UK channels), iPod player, telephone, dishwasher etc. Ideal for family holidays.

Private parking for three cars.

Praia da Luz is developing into a busy resort in the peak summer, but Casa Alimas offers a peaceful position accessible along a small lane in the centre of Luz. The beach, shops and restaurants are all within 10 minutes walk of the villa. There are many good restaurants in Luz and even more in Lagos.

The beach is protected by the famous 'Black Rock' headland and is very popular with the Portuguese. There are many quieter beaches within a short drive. The local villa management company can arrange many local leisure activities for you, such as tennis, water sports and horse riding.

Lagos and the Algarve: Between Luz and Lagos there are spectacular caves and grottos, accessible from land at Ponta da Piedade or by sea from various boat trips out of Lagos. The historic town of Lagos is just 10 minutes drive from the villa and has a wide range of good shops and restaurants. The main street fronts onto the river and the elegant marina.

There are numerous beaches both to the East and the West of the villa. Other attractions include Zoo Marine - a seaworld park; Family Water Parks; Lagos Zoo (a small but very attractive zoo); Monchique and the hills, Cape St. Vincente ('The end of the World'); and the wilder West Coast. The nearest golf course is at the new Boavista resort just outside Praia da Luz. There are numerous other courses all along the Algarve.

We had a most amazing week as a family at this superb villa which is so well equipped and the layout is ideal. Contact was great from host and villa management. Pool though not heated didn't present a problem and was thoroughly used and enjoyed by us all and soon heats up given the sun shining which it did throughout the week

Great villa with view at Praia da Luz

A very comfortable villa in quiet area of the beautiful village Luz. We stayed in the winter period with 5 persons. A very good fireplace and aircos to warm the villa in january. An excellent sitting room for 6 persons and a high quality Wifi network. The 3 sleeping rooms with good beds and 3 bathrooms makes a comfortable stay possible.

Perfect villa for families and close friends

The villa is up a little road in the little town of Luz. It offers stunning ocean views over Luz on the sunny veranda. The villa is perfect: big kitchen, plenty of dining tables, a pool, comfy beds with linen and towels. There is an open empty plot of land immediately in front which makes the villa feel private and off the beaten track. The host was brilliant.

Fantastic place to stay!

We stayed for one week and absolutely loved it! The Villa is modern, bright, clean and comfortable and felt like home! The pool was a little chilly (came mid May) but no doubt if we had come later in the summer it would have been perfect! It look around 13 mins to get to the shop and around the same to get to town! Couldn’t fault the location and we were with older parents and young children. The management team were wonderful and super helpful and we had great communication throughout! Absolutely recommend and will stay again! Thank you for having us!

Fabulous villa

Spacious villa in lovely location. Stunning view from the balcony. We enjoyed a lovely week relaxing around the pool. Praia da Luz is a lovely small village with some good restaurants we especially liked Chiccas! Shops etc within 20 mins walking distance although it is uphill on the way back. Lovely beach but sea was cold!! Enjoyed a dolphin watching boat trip from nearby Lagos. Would recommend for s quiet relaxing family holiday.

Lovely stay and great holiday

Just returned from a two week stay at this villa and we all had a great time. It is a lovely villa with excellent facilities and well equipped. Whilst there we a few issues at the beginning of our stay these which were quickly dealt with by the owner and the management team. The pool is a nice size but unheated and a little deep for us, however, we used it daily and had great fun doing so. Whilst Luz is close by, we found it a little too small and switch to Lagos which is just a 10-minute drive away. We would highly recommend this villa and should we visit this area in the future would certainly look to stay here again.

Fantastic holiday in a great villa!

We really enjoyed our stay in this newly refurbished villa. It was spacious and every room had a bathroom which really helped. The kitchen was amazing with all the equipment and appliances which were new. The host was amazing where we received very useful information before our arrival. One host came to visit us a few days after to make sure that we have settled well and really made us feel most welcome. The pool was huge, clean and warm so everyone in the family enjoyed it. The villa itself is set in a quiet area of Luz with fantastic view of the sea. We will definitively come back here and I thoroughly recommend this villa!

Good sized villa for 6 adults with excellent views from the balcony.

We were really happy with the villa, it was a good size for 6 adults and is well maintained and clean. Communication with the owner and agent was very good. Good view over the town to the ocean from the balcony. Parking for three cars. The only downside for us was the pool area. It’s a bit bland and lacks any shade in the morning (the covered area shown on the photos is no longer there). The pool is also very deep (2.4meters for more than half its length) which meant the water was very chilly even in August. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

About the host

Hosted by Geoff Penn

Host profile image
I have owned Casa Alimas since 2001 and have had a programme of modernisation and improvements. The villa is our special retreat, which we keep to very high standards. The two things that really attracted us to the villa were the large swimming pool and the large sweeping first floor balcony, which wraps around two sides of the property and provides spectacular views out to the Atlantic Ocean.

Why they chose this property

We chose Luz because it is a very compact, family friendly resort. Casa Alimas is within easy walking distance of all that Luz offers.

What makes this property unique

As a stand alone villa, set in its own land, there is plenty of parking and a high level of accommodation.
