The sea view is simply breathtaking… The access to the house is through the main gate at the front of the house. Located in a residential area there is no main street close by, which means total silence (apart from the sound of the waves and the seagulls), and the absence of the customary summer rowdy crowds: you will enjoy a private appointment with the waves and the stars! On 3 floors: the house has 3 suites on the upper floor, 2 of which are equipped with double beds and the other with 1 single beds. The two frontal suites share the upper balcony and the same spectacular sea view right in front. All 3 suites have private toilets equipped with Spa baths. On the ground floor a large living/dining area allows the enjoyment of the same sea view and the possibility of having the meals either in the dining room or on the large terrace (fully furnished with dining table, chairs and sofas), in an atmosphere of peace, tranquility and natural beauty. On the same floor, we have a fourth bedroom, equipped with a double bed, very close to a separate toilet with a shower. A large and modern kitchen, fully equipped, has direct access to the rear of the house. No BBQ available. The living area has cable TV (115 channels, some of which in several European languages) and a DVD player. WIFI is available in all the house. Telephone is not available. As if all this is not enough, the house has an additional large lower floor which gives you a direct access to the private swimming pool and the private garden with beach/garden furniture. On this floor, you will find another toilet (with shower) and a small gym with an elliptical trainer, abs platform and some weights (should you wish to remain fit during the vacations). There is also a very comfortable sofa bed that accommodates 2 more guests and TV with cable channels (the same system as the one in the living room upstairs). The center of the small village of Luz and its famous beach are just a short walking distance away. There you will find all the shops, restaurants, and bars you will need. You do not need a car in Luz, unless you wish to visit the beautiful city of Lagos or the surrounding areas, such as the Sagres Cape and its fortress, the pleasant beaches of the west of the Algarve or the Costa Alentejana. Burgau, a small fishermen village, where you can eat great sea food, is located just 5 Kms west of Luz, and you reach it hiking alongside the ocean and the cliffs. All in all: a unique opportunity to enjoy your vacation in the Algarve. Important Notes: 1\. Smoking in the house is not permitted. 2\. Pets are not allowed. 3\. no events allowed 4\. Is not allowed to charge electric car at the property facilities. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car not required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Outdoor shower - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Golf - Gym - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 2,691 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 25 ### Check-out Flexible check-out available (contact host to arrange) ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Check-out time is flexible; to make arrangements, please contact the property ahead of time using the information on the booking confirmation ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed This property accepts cash Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property This property has outdoor spaces, such as balconies, patios, terraces which may not be suitable for children; if you have concerns, we recommend contacting the property prior to your arrival to confirm they can accommodate you in a suitable room This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

Sep 28, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous family holiday I rented this villa for a family celebration, because of its location, easy access to the beach, restaurants and shops. We had two little ones in the party and they loved the pool and garden. The views from the balconies are fabulous. We all had a great holiday. Hoping to return in the not too distant future. ##### Linda F. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gill S. Jul 3, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic Holiday Really enjoyed staying at the villa, nice and quiet, short walk to great restaurants and bars, great for children, lacks a barbecue. Neighbouring villas are very close but we were lucky as these were not occupied when we stayed ##### Gill S. ### 8/10 Good #### Janet L., Calgary May 27, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We really enjoyed the villa, it’s location to all amenities and the ability to walk most places! The villa was well equipped but would have appreciated better water pressure for showers when three couples are using the facilities! Did cook at the villa but would have liked to have access to barbecue! Check in was a bit confusing as never received info till after our arrival! However, Property Managers were very attentive to our needs! Would certainly stay here again! ##### Janet L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne B., Geneva, IL Apr 17, 2019 #### Great girls get away! House was as described and was super clean. We had plenty of room, the pool, yard, and decks were great. It was so nice to wake up to see and hear the waves hitting the rocks, Location was perfect, close to town and some good restaurants. We enjoyed the information provided in the house and in fact took in a few of the sights recommended, along with a couple of the restaurants. Very great and quick response from Louise in answering our question. I would definitely like to stay at this location again. ##### Joanne B. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Maria S. Oct 26, 2018 #### Beautiful villa, perfect location! 4 couples stayed here! Walking distance to shopping, restaurants and beach. Fully equipped with everything you need! At this time of year the pool needs to be heated! Towel warmers weren’t working so towels didn’t dry. Lotsa room and storage. Difficult to lock lower level door from inside.please leave spare light bulbs many bathroom lights were out. Wonderful holiday! Thank you! ##### Maria S.

My family and I stayed at the beautiful villa 7 Fontainhas in July 2015. I have to say it was our best holiday ever. Our party consisted of my adult son and his girlfriend, my teenage daughter, my husband and myself. Our first impressions upon unlocking the front door and seeing the fabulous view from the living room area was "Wow"! The villa certainly has the wow factor. No attention to detail is spared either starting from the extensive information folder on the coffee table to every utensil you would possibly need in the kitchen. Not that we bothered cooking much as there are plenty of great restaurants in the area - as helpfully suggested in the information folder. The house is huge and has plenty of room if you sometimes want to find a quiet corner for yourself. It's a mere few minutes stroll to the centre of Praia da Luz and it's great beach. We also discovered a small but lovely beach just a short walk up the road. My husband and I did the five kilometre cliff walk that runs from in front of the house to the next sea fishing village, Burgau. It also has a lovely beach and nice places to dine. Steep streets too! The cliff walk itself is scenic but a bit scary in the odd place if, like me, you haven't a great head for heights! Well worth it though. It's also definitely worth a trip to the nearby town of Lagos which is steeped in history. It has great character and is also a great place to shop and dine. We went there by bus which is very inexpensive as we hadn't got ton around to hiring a car but you don't actually need a car in Luz unless you plan to travel further afield. Evertthing you need is accessible by foot. All in all, 7 Fontainhas was a magical holiday and we can't wait to come back! ##### Gina M.

Perfect location to walk into town (on level and tarmac roads!). Have been to Luz on many occasions but this villa location best by far Excellent customer service. Would definitely "recommend to a friend" Fortaleza restaurant excellent and less than a 10 minute walk away. ##### david d.
