Casa Luz—an oasis of discovery and adventure

From a topographical perspective, CASA LUZ forms the south-facing tip of the Malhada. The three terraces invite you to use them as outdoor spaces. Here, everyone can find their own sunny spots and quiet retreats throughout the day, with dynamic shadows created by the partially traditional bamboo roofing.

In the interior design, we prioritized a spacious and open feel on both levels. The dining and living area is structured around our custom-tiled kitchen island as its centerpiece. A fireplace and a lounge area provide a cozy atmosphere.

This layout brings the cooking experience to life with its social atmosphere and features, in addition to a modern gas stove with an oven, a spacious dishwasher and a large refrigerator with a freezer compartment that offers ample space for the weekly groceries. As in CASA COLINAS, food lovers will find a well-thought-out, fully equipped kitchen with all the utensils needed to prepare the delicacies brought back from the markets.

Sleeping accommodations are located on the first floor and the upper floor. Both bedrooms feature modern bathrooms with showers and toilets.

We have furnished each bedroom with large queen-size beds.

The access road winds away from the main street at the signposted turnoff along a 2.4 km-long, winding gravel road typical of the region, nestled in the picturesque hilly landscape.

We recommend making your first trip to our secluded paradise during daylight hours.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as a living plant wall and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Great rural getaway

I had an excellent week at Casa Luz. The house is beautiful, spacious and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is open, spacious and modern. The bedrooms are large and comfortable. There is a large deck area around the main floor with seating and dining areas. Another deck off the upstairs bedroom. The outdoor kitchen with the gas grill is a great feature. The setting is beautiful in the hills north of Tavira. This is a great place for a short or long stay.

Ein wunderschönes Ferienhaus an sich und dazu unglaublich schön, individuell und geschmackvoll eingerichtet mit vielen liebevollen Details - die Fotos versprechen nicht zu viel. Sehr sauber. Auch Handtücher, Kissen, Decken genügend vorhanden. Sehr gute Kommunikation, ein herzliches Willkommen (mehr soll hier nicht verraten sein ;-). Die Anfahrt tatsächlich etwas beschwerlich (2,4 km/10 Minuten Schotterstraße) - aber das wussten wir ja im Voraus. Wegbeschreibung war sehr gut. Wirklich abgelegen (ca. 6 Häuser) in schöner ruhiger Landschaft - daher viel Zeit zum Kochen in der gut ausgestatteten Küche und Lesen auf einen der drei Terrassen. Nach Tavira und somit dem nächsten größeren Supermarkt knapp 25 min mit dem Auto. Nur Lagunenstrände (aber das wussten wir), das offene flache Meer erst ganz im Osten der Küste kurz vor Spanien. Wenn wir das nächste Mal in der Region Urlaub machen, kommen wir bestimmt wieder :-)

Superbe

La maison et l'espace autour sont calmes et apaisants. Un lieu parfait pour se ressourcer dans une grande maison avec tout le nécessaire pour se sentir accueilli, ainsi que des espaces extérieurs ombragés et ensoleillés bien aménagés. Les indication des propriétaires sont claires et facilités par leur bienveillance. Une location que nous ne pouvons que recommander avec les charmes de la rivière qui coule en contre-bas avec des lieux pour se baigner, des villes charmantes et des plages magnifiques!

Wunderbarer Aufenthalt

Wir haben die Zeit in der Casa Luz sehr genossen. Das Haus ist sehr schön gestaltet und perfekt ausgestattet. Die Lage ist traumhaft und sehr ruhig in der wunderschönen Hügellandschaft der Algarve. Man kann sich wunderbar auf der großen Terasse aufhalten, aber auch recht schnell viele Ziele am Meer und im Hinterland erreichen. Wir können die Casa Luz nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.
