Fabulous sea view townhouse in Praia de Luz

Vila Serena is located on the edge of Praia da Luz, one of the best coastal villages on the western Algarve. Luz has its own beautiful beach but within 30 minutes there are dozens of beaches – some of which have very few visitors, even in the Summer.
When the estate agent took us up to the second-floor roof-terrace and we gazed over the sunlit pools, beautiful gardens, palm trees and blue sea we knew this was going to be the perfect holiday home.
The villa is one of 16 sited in extensive beautiful gardens that encloses a huge swimming pool with linked children’s pool and loads of grass for sunbathing and BBQs.
The first floor has two bedrooms, one with a veranda, and a bathroom with loo, bidet, washbasin and newly-installed walk-in shower. A baby bath is available and two travel cots with bedding.
Bedroom three has an adjacent loo and shower and is on the ground floor.
The roof terrace has sunbeds, perfect for all-over suntans
The living room is open plan with a dining area. The Smart TV will supply most channels – BBC, ITV, Sky Sports, Cinema, Netflix, Amazon Prime and local channels. There are plenty of books and board games. The log-fire is wonderful in the winter. The Wifi is Superfast cable and consistently runs at 250+ MBS.
The double doors lead to the wide sunny patio garden with dining gear and comfortable garden furniture to cover all forms of relaxation. There are parasols to shade the sun. Each patio is enclosed with hedges. Out front there’s a sheltered parking space for a car.
The kitchen has an oven, 4-ring ceramic hob, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, fridge-freezer and is well stocked with cutlery and glasses. Children’s mugs and plates are supplied, including cafetiere and a teapot.
All linens and towels - including beach towels - are supplied. Given how quickly clothes dry in the Algarve sun, you can fly out with hand-luggage only! There’s a cupboard bursting with buckets & spades and all the gear you’ll need for the gorgeous beaches. And a BBQ. In the Algarve, everything is on a hill, but there is a bus service which is reliable.
Next to Vila Serena there is an Indian restaurant and an hotel restaurant. 15 minutes’ walk away in the village of Luz there are café’s, bars and restaurants of every description offering everything from sardines to prime steaks, pub pints to classy cocktails. And the Ice Cream Factory is an absolute must.
A short bus ride away or 15 minutes’ drive is the town of Lagos, one of the fastest growing towns in Europe with people moving from all over Europe and northern Portugal. Here you can access countless boat trips, the marina and loads of restaurants.
Our caretaker Joao will, if you call from the airport, meet you at the front door to show you in. He can provide a welcome pack if your arrival is too late to catch the excellent local Baptista supermarket five minutes’ away.
During longer stays, Joao and his team will, for a fee, freshen up the house and change sheets/towels.
We’ve tried to make a ‘home from home’ experience for our guests, and many return year after year. They love the detail in the house – coat hangers, cheese grater, clothes pegs, digital radio, measuring jug– let us know if we can add anything.
We hope you enjoy your stay.

it feels like home!
Beautiful area and one feels at home right away! We liked very much the swimming pool area and the neighborhood ... to go to the beach, it is better to drive by car (specially if you have kids like us because the beach is not too far away but up hill). Bill was always very helpful and answers right away. The people from the neighborhood were also very nice.

Fantastic
Wow what a fantastic holiday villa. Villa serena exceeded our expectations- clean, well furnished and very well equipped. The owners were so helpful and quick to respond prior to our visit. We enjoyed the quiet pool and the fact we had loungers that were just ours and enjoyed dining on the sun terrace and using the bbq. Loved that our towels were refreshed half way through our stay. The surrounding gardens are immaculately kept too. It's a short stroll into the small local town or a ten minute taxi Into larger lagos. you are looking for a chilled out holiday I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Bom no geral
Vivenda com uma área boa e inserida num condomínio com piscina muito boa . Único senão a TV só ter canais ingleses quando se aluga em Portugal. No mínimo os 4 canais. De resto tudo bom e calmo.

Herrliche 3 Wochen verbracht
Wir hatten wunderschöne 3 Wochen in der Ferienwohnung. Der Pool ist traumhaft, ruhig und wir waren oft ganz alleine. Die Terasse mit den Lounge-Möbeln ist herrlich zum entspannen. Von der Dachterasse und den Schlafzimmern hat man einen herrlichen Blick bis ans Meer. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind zu Fuß zu erreichen. Auto würden wir aber trotzdem empfehlen - es gibt einen privaten Stellplatz direkt vor dem Haus. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne einmal wieder.

Excelente apartamento!
Hemos estado durante 5 noches en este apartamento de Villa Serena y ha sido francamente excelente. El apartamento está totalmente equipado, con todo lo necesario. Además tiene una decoración muy bonita, cómoda y funcional; y unas vistas estupendas desde las diferentes terrazas. El porche/terraza de abajo es estupenda. Además está ubicada en una urbanización preciosa y muy silenciosa, con una piscina espectacular. Así que nuestra estancia ha sido muy muy satisfactoria. Lo recomendaría totalmente a cualquier familia que quiera pasar allí unos días.
