We had an amazing stay and absolutely loved the apartment, which provided everything that we could have possibly needed. The balcony was fantastic, and we spent many days soaking up the sun there! The children loved the two pools. Thank you for such a great stay - we will definitely be back!

A perfect apartment in Luz!

We are a family of 5 and the apartment was absolutely prefect for us. It is completely supplied with everything you need for a holiday and the morning coffee on the deck was a my favourite part :) It is a very short walk to the beach and dinner options and the pool was a huge hit for our kids. Couldn't have asked for a better stay!

Fantastic appartment in Luz!

We spent a wonderful week during our Easter holidays in this lovely appartment at Praia da Luz, Algarve. We had plenty of space and confort with all ammenities, close to beach/cliffs and the daily needs. Fully recommend the place for those looking for a nice place to stay while visiting the South of Portugal. It's got plenty of space for 4 people and is well equiped.

Great Apartment in a Great Location

Really well appointed apartment with a fantastic balcony. Apartment was very clean and comfortable. One small issue was quickly resolved by the owner and agent and that made for an enjoyable stay. The pool area is great, as is Luz itself. Would highly recommend to all my family and friends.

Dishwasher and washing machine tablets were left available - very useful. Private terrace was fantastic. Well equipped kitchen. Short walk into Luz or the supermarket.

Fantastic apartment in great location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks at the St James Apartments in Praia da Luz. The apartment was really comfortable and had everything we needed and more! Praia da Luz is a lovely little town and there is so much to do. The apartment is only 5 mins walk from the beautiful beach where you can relax or do something a bit different such as jet skiing or going on a boat trip to watch the dolphins in their natural environment. There are lots of lovely restaurants in the town but there's also a couple of well stocked supermarkets in town should you decide to stay in and cook for yourself. A lovely apartment and a great location. What more could you ask for??

Superb!

We stayed in St James the first two weeks in July 2018. We had a wonderful holiday. Apartment is clean, spacious and has all you need - esp WiFi for teenagers!! Complex is very quiet and we often had the pool to ourselves! Luz itself is lovely and has plenty of nice restaurants within 5/10 mins walk to choose from. We ate out each evening and every restaurant we tried was excellent. Luz is very quiet but there is a regular bus service to & from Lagos which costs €1.60 or 80 cent if you buy the bus card (Can buy this in municipal building across the road from Paulo’s restaurant). A lovely apartment in a lovely resort - if you want a quiet & relaxing holiday this is the one for you!

Great apartment with huge terrace in lovely village

We spent three weeks in the apartment and everything we needed was provided. There was ample parking just outside the apartment. Lisete was a good cleaner and came in each week to change the bedding and towels and do a basic clean for us. Unfortunately the pool was out of action at the time of our visit, but we are sure that when all the retiling is done it will be an excellent addition for any holidaymaker. We ate out a few times, at the Chinese on Rua April 25 , just below Paulo's which we went to four or five times and found the food delicious, and the staff extremely friendly. We also had fish and chips one night at Kelly's Irish Bar and enjoyed that. All in all, a lovely place to spend a holiday. If you want to go to the beach, Luz beach is long, wide and sandy.
