CoolHouses Algarve Luz | Casa da Pipa
This contemporary style house with a surprising location (less than 50 meters from the sea and surf), offers the possibility of a dream holiday in a very special and authentic area of the Algarve - the "Barlavento Algarvio"
The sea view is simply stunning... Access to the house is made through the front of the house, where there is a parking space for a medium-sized car. Parking is also allowed on the sea side, in front of the property's larger gate.
There is no main street nearby, which means total silence (apart from the sound of waves and seagulls) and the absence of the usual summer crowds: you will enjoy a private encounter with the waves and the stars!
In 3 floors: the house has 3 suites on the upper floor, two of which are equipped with double beds and the other with 2 single beds. The two front suites share the upper balcony and the same spectacular sea view. All 3 suites have private bathrooms, equipped with bathtubs.
On the ground floor, a spacious living room with a dining area allows you to enjoy the same sea view and the possibility of having meals in the dining room or on the large terrace (fully furnished with a dining table, chairs and sofas), in an environment of peace, tranquillity and natural beauty.
On the same floor, we have a 4th bedroom, equipped with a double bed, very close to a bathroom with a shower cabin.
A spacious and modern kitchen, fully equipped (except for the washing machine, which is located on the basement floor, in the laundry room) has direct access to the back of the house.
The living room has cable television, MEO with approximately 115 channels, some of which are in various foreign languages other than Portuguese, and a DVD player. Wi-Fi is available throughout the house. The telephone is not available.
As if all this were not enough, the house has a large additional lower floor that gives direct access to the private swimming pool and the private garden with beach/garden furniture. On this floor, you will find another bathroom (with shower), a small laundry room with a washing machine, clothesline, ironing board and an iron.
There is also a gym area with an elliptical bike, an abdominal platform and some weights (in case you want to stay in shape during your holidays).
There is also a very comfortable sofa and TV with cable channels (the same system as the one in the living room upstairs).
The centre of the small village of Luz and its famous beach are just a short walk away. There you will find all the shops, restaurants and bars you may need. You do not need a car in Luz, unless you want to visit the beautiful city of Lagos or the surrounding areas, such as Cape Sagres and its fortress, the pleasant beaches to the West of the Algarve or the Alentejo Coast. Burgau is a small fishing village, where you can eat great fish, located just 5 km West of Luz, and can be reached by walking along the ocean and the cliffs. In short: a unique opportunity to enjoy your holidays in the Algarve.

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.
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
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!

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.

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!

The WOW factor!!
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!

Perfect
Excellent property, very clean on arrival and well maintained. 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.
