Luxury 2 bed 2 bath Apartment on Algarve

“Second time in Joe 's flat and second time "so happy". Everything is just perfect. We've been there in October and in April. The two months are great. ”

“We enjoyed a week in Joe's lovely apartment in the charming, intimate coastal town of Luz. The apartment was beautifully laid out with floor area prioritised for these very spacious living area, kitchen and terrace. Described as ground floor, that's technically correct as you enter the apartment at ground level. However, the development is set on a gradient so the terrace overlooks pretty landscaped gardens. Out of season one of the two large pools was heated so perfect for the kids. The location was ideal, just a short stroll from the beach and even closer to the local 'High Street'. After accumulating 1000s of points over the years without being able to spend them, it was a welcome relief that Joe accepted our points offer. In fact in 8 years of home exchanging, this was the fastest, hassle free exchange we ever organised. Offer to agreement took about 5 minutes. Joe's communication was great prior, during and post our stay. I wish our experience was like this every time. Note to LHS members - Be Like Joe!”

“Baia da Luz is an excellent property/resort. It provided a good introduction to the Western Algarve. Joe was also readily available to answer all my questions. This was my first home swap and first trip to Portugal. Everything worked out perfectly and am grateful I found Joe & Bernadette and their comfortable property. The small village of Luz is worth a visit. Seems quite a few expats enjoy living or visiting there even in January. The beach is tranquil and the best part in my experience was the proximity to the Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina. Everything west of Lagos is worth a visit if you enjoy tranquility and serene small villages. In terms of the apartment, it had all the comforts. Wifi worked great and the resort reception staff were quite professional and already ready to provide directions to local points of attractions in the area. The ambiance of the apartment is modern and furniture are high end, which is not always the case in other places I stayed in the Algarve. Kitchen has everything needed, although no time for cooking as too many nice local restaurants to try both in Luz and in the following villages. I stayed away from the big cities such as Lagos or Portimao but for those who don't mind bigger areas, Lagos is very close, less then a 15 min. drive. Very pleasant home swap. Thanks again Joe& Bernadette!”

“We had a wonderful time in Luz thanks to Joe. The flat is very comfortable and spacious in a premium residence. The warm swimming pool and the nice gardens and the fabulous terrace are great. Luz is a small village with every thing near by : beach, ice cream for kids, supermarket, etc... We really want to thank Joe for his flat and for the great holidays we had thanks to him.. I highly recommend. ”

“Thanks Joe and Family for a wonderful stay at their beautiful apartment in Bai da Luz. My family(2 adults and 2 kids 1 and 3) had a wonderful time. The location is perfect (just a short stroll into town) where there are lots of fantastic restaurants and a beautiful beach. Our kids loved the pool and playground and we had a fantastic time relaxing there. Thanks again Joe. ”

“A fantastic trip to a really nice quiet location in the Algarve. Joe is a perfect gentleman. He couldn't have been more helpful and went well above and beyond. The apartment is top quality and the balcony fabulous for lazy lunches with a bottle of wine. Just a short walk away is a great beach. A few very nice restaurants immediately local too! I'm hoping to go back for another trip in the near future, and that hasn't influenced my review at all! Thanks Joe for everything.”

“We can't thank Joe and his family enough for his kind generosity in letting us use his holiday apartment. We stayed at Baia da Luz for the last part of our trip to Portugal and enjoyed every minute. It is so nice to have such a lovely pool area, restaurant and reception area. The apartment itself was well equipped with everything we needed for our short stay, there was also plenty of space for our 2 little ones to run around. During the day we explored the beaches and many of the surrounding areas, including Lagos which is a great place. Thank you Joe, we are already looking to come to Portugal again next year we like the country and the Algarve so much. ”
