Professionally decorated and furnished to the highest standards it has ample space for its occupancy and with its three balconies gives a choice of sun from morning to evening. The main balcony is spacious and fully furnished for dining and the back balcony is great for relaxing with a beer and a book in the evening.
The bedrooms are spacious with good storage, the master bedroom has a four poster queen and the other two rooms have twin singles. There is air conditioning in all the rooms and the main living area, and the electric roller shutters keep the place extra cool if needed and provides solitude for those needing to catch up on sleep or just get over a good night on the town. Underfloor heating keeps the place warm in the cooler evenings of the low season.

| The Algarve region |
|
This area of the Algarve offers a range of climate depending on time of year to suit all needs, Spring, Early Summer and Autumn offers a more moderate temperature which is just made for golf, mountain safaris and sightseeing. In Luz, the months of June, July and August never get too hot due to the magnificent sea breeze and September and October are balmy and my favourite times. November, December and January are cool and quiet but are still excellent for Golf and the New years party at Estrela da Luz is a bash and a half.
The Algarve is a haven for golf and the area around Luz has Boavista five minutes up the road, with Palmares, Parque de Floresta and Penina all within 20 minutes and all are championship standard. The resort reception will arrange golf trips at discounted rates for guests.

| Praia Da Luz Estrela Da Luz area |
The area surrounding Luz offers the more adventurous a range of sightseeing and dining experiences to explore. There are a number of small towns and wonderful beaches to be investigated to the west of Luz, some of the towns are Burgau, Sagres and Cape Vincent. Back east towards Faro one can visit the more familiar names such as Alvor, Carvoeiro, Portimao, Albufeira and past Faro to Olhado, Tavira, Lago and the Spanish border. I would have to recommend a drive into some of the surrounding rural villages for lunch or dinner and a craft of wine all of which is easy on the pocket.
|
| How to get there |
All the main airlines; Ryanair, Aer Lingus, Globespan.com, Flybe.com and Easy Jet fly to Faro.
Car hire is available at Faro Airport and it takes approximately 50 minutes to 1 hour on the A22 to Luz. Full directions from Faro to the Apartment are available on request. It is not essential to have a car while at Estrela da Luz but if intending to visit the Golf Courses it is advisable.
Alternatively a Taxi from the Faro costs in the region of €80 and can be arranged by the owner for the arriving guests - assuming sufficient advance notice is given.
Similarly all the usual airlines and more fly into Lisbon which is 2.5 to 3 hours by car to the complex and in this case car hire is advisable. Again full directions will be provided on request.

We found your apartment a great place for a vacation. Attempting to get away from a hectic travelling schedule we cooked in a lot and found your front balcony and living area excellent for family dining and had many a long conversations until the moon rose on Luz bay and the kids were carried to bed.
Will be back in the near future. Joe and Deb Boston 2006

Marion and Ron. We just loved your apartment and Marion\'s hand in the decor is obvious. We really needed the downtime and got so much rest the first week we were all action for the second. Loved the Hugo as well.
