Included in the rental is the free use of the indoor pool, sauna, hot-tub (all heated and working all year round), gym, tennis court, 3 outside pools (heated mid Apr to mid Oct) and underground parking.
Estrela is situated in a quiet location in the centre of Praia da Luz and just a few minutes’ walk from the beach, restaurants & shops. (Rental License -98040/AL)
The apartment is luxurious and stylishly furnished and offers many special features:
- Large double bedroom which can be set up with a king size double bed or 2 single beds.
- Living room with dining/TV areas.
- Modern kitchen with Nespresso & filter coffee machines, dishwasher and washing machine.
- Twin sink bathroom with integrated shower/bath.
- Up to 2 full size extra single beds or baby cot(s) can be added in the living room or bedroom for additional children or adults, up to a maximum occupancy of 4 people.
- 2 balconies (1 with a table and chairs & one with 2 sun loungers)

A few things of note in the condo:
1) the bed is really hard
2) the couches have an odour to them
3) the bathroom is quirky, super narrow between toilet and counter. The counter goes right to the tub/shower, and you have to maneuver between the counter, toilet and a shower door to step in the tub/shower. I can't imagine older individuals would feel comfortable using the shower.

The apartment is part of what I would call a 5 star resort. There is controlled entry (very easy) through all the gates into the premises. Lovely landscaped gardens & everywhere is kept in top notch condition. The apartment itself is very spacious & was the cleanest rental we have ever stayed at. It is well equipped with quality items such that even me, being a keen cook, could find all I needed to whip up a meal with the lovely produce available locally. Between the resort staff & the host Michael, we were really looked after & communication was exemplary. I was wary of this part of Portugal, Luz & particularly Lagos fearing that it would be a bit Hi-De-Hi or full of British hens & stags. It was a delight to discover that both towns are charming & certainly in May, had enough people to have character, but few enough that it was nicely un-crowded (not a real word). Luz itself is a great option as a slightly smaller town but still having all the amenities needed & a great beach. It's only 10 minutes to Lagos. The host's guidance notes were a great help steering us to worthwhile destinations & eateries. I could go on! All in all a great holiday experience. We were there a week & could have easily had 2 weeks with plenty to do (we did have a hire car). Many thanks to Michael our host.

We really enjoyed exploring the Algarve from Luz. Comfortable apartment, friendly and helpful host. The hiking was amazing.

We had a wonderful time in Luz, and this suite really helped us feel at home. It is spacious, clean and comfortable, with modern appliances, a good bed and nice furniture. There were numerous little extras that we appreciate - some spices and other stock items from previous guests, as well as a toaster and Bodum and Nespresso coffee makers. Everything was very easy to use and we really appreciated the clothes washer.
Michael was great to deal with. He sent us a very thorough outline of virtually everything we needed to know, and communicated quickly with us before, during and after our stay.
Estrela da Luz is a great complex, very professionally run, with all of the extras of a first class resort. Luz is a beautiful, laid back little town, without all of the hustle and bustle of nearby Lagos. It has a good beach, some nice restaurants, a supermarket and excellent walking both east and west of town. We walked to Lagos one day and it was quite do-able, after the initial hike up the cliff to the east of Luz. Ponta da Piedade to the south of Lagos is a must see! Contrary to what some online sites might say, the bus between Lagos and Luz is pretty good, the only problem being it doesn't operate past 20:00 from Sept. to June.
If you are looking for a laid back vacation, with some awesome walks along the coast, we would highly recommend Luz, and Michael's place is
a wondeful home to enjoy it from.We definitely hope to return for a longer stay in the future.
Thanks for everything, Michael.

The apartment was really large and comfortable for a one bedroom, we were very impressed with the size of the rooms. Two large balconies with sun most of the day and only a five minute walk to the seafront. Estrela is a first class resort with lots of attention to detail. We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 night stay.

My husband and I spent a week at this fabulous property. Communication with the owner was highly efficient and very professional. We appreciated the detailed instructions and recommendations provided in advance. The unit, the resort, and the location were all excellent! We especially loved the view from the balcony in the evenings. We highly recommend this property for a home base in the Algarve.

While I was planning a short stay, the very nice apartment and Michael's outstanding service made me extend and extend. It is a large apartment with separate bedroom and fully equipped kitchen - with all the things you could wish for!
Michael also went out of his way to make remote work a pleasure and even brought some exercise equipment to the apartment when the resort's gym had to close because of COVID restrictions.
Parking is super convenient, with an own parking spot just below the building.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and can only recommend the apartment and the Estrela da Luz compound to anyone! There's a pretty high chance I'll be back :-)

From initial booking, Michael's communication has been excellent. Any queries we had were answered quickly and he gave us a lot of information regarding the resort. The apartment was very clean and everything we needed was here. It was good to have internet and a large tv with uk channels . Weather throughout the 10 days was fantastic and we ate out on one of the 2 balconies for every meal. The resort of Estrella is very pretty with lovely gardens. There is an indoor pool and jacuzzi and 3 other pools (children's, family and adult) all heated. There were always sunbeds and umbrellas free and staff to clean them as soon as vacated with antiviral spray. At all times we felt covid safe.
