Villa Olivia (villa)

Home description

Villa Olivia is located 10 minutes' walk from the beach and the many excellent restaurants and shops in Luz. Quiet and peaceful, yet only a short drive from the larger towns such as Lagos. The villa benefits from its own private south-facing swimming pool and sun terrace and a private south-facing lawned garden.

Leading from the living room is a south-facing balcony with sea views, furnished with a table and chairs to enable you to dine al fresco, and the living room also has a log fireplace for autumn or winter stays. With one double and one twin bedroom (plus sofabed in the sitting room and 2 extra beds in the bedrooms) , the villa is ideal for families, with plenty in the surrounding area to see and do during your stay. A stairgate, highchair and cot also make the villa toddler friendly for those with little ones. There are also several world-class golf courses a short drive away, making it a good location for golfers too. The villa has private parking for 2 cars including a car port.

Praia da Luz is a pretty, relaxed seaside resort, with a family-friendly white sandy beach, flanked on one side by cliffs, on top of which lies one of the region's best designed golf courses. The region experiences hot summers and mild winters when the landscape turns into a quite lush subtropical bloom of plants and flowers.

The Algarve / West Algarve region

Spend some pleasant and unforgettable holidays at this picturesque beach 5 km from the historical city of Lagos. Ideally situated in a region of beautiful coasts, valleys and mountains, it offers much to do and see, many unforgettable visits and trips with easy access by modern highways or via roads less travelled by.

For instance:
- A visit along the picturesque coastline to the historical Cape of Sagres, where Prince Henry “the Navigator” established the XIV century Sagres Nautical School. Splendid panoramic views of the sea, rocks, white cliffs, white, sandy beaches and abundant flora amidst the famous Algarvian triad of almond, kerob and fig (almond trees blossom in January/February).

- Visit the spectacular Bravura Dam in the Espinhaco de Cao mountain range, only 15 minutes away.

- Visit the historical city of Lagos, built inside castle walls, with its fortresses, narrow streets and typical quarters, contrasting sharply to the city’s modern architecture, as embodied by the marine parade and its adjacent, newly-constructed marina offering a variety of activities.

- Restaurants, shopping centres, various sports (including golf), daily boat trips, are some of the many entertainments that the visitor can enjoy in Praia da Luz and surrounding areas.

Praia da Luz / Quinta da Bela Vista area

Several locations of historical interest can be found nearby, including the Roman ruins within the village, and the local church which is worth a visit. The village has retained much of its original charm.

With Lagos on your doorstep, other entertainment is only minutes away. The local guide, issued monthly, will inform visitors of festivals as diverse as the yearly food and confectionery fair, the summer jazz festival, sporting events, arts exhibitions (both ongoing and seasonal), and many other activities. Gastronomic variety and delights abound, not least centred around the fish market which provides local restaurants with an enviable variety of fish and seafood.

Close to the villa you will find several beautiful unspoilt beaches, with opportunities to partake in any of the following - sailing, water skiing, boat hire, wind surfing, fishing, flying, walking, cycling, horse riding, golf, tennis, scuba diving, mountain biking, bowling, hang-gliding, nature trails and surfing

Other attractions close by include historic sites, museums, Lagos Zoo, theatre, cinema, theme park, grotto visits, sports centre, Zoo Marine for dolphin/whale/seal shows and water parks such as Aqualand and Slide and Splash.

Guestbook for Villa Olivia

" I had a wonderful holiday with my son, daughter-in-law and grandchild. The villa was comfortable and very charming and it was nice to know that my granddaughter was safe playing in the beautiful private garden while we sat on the balcony having lunch and enjoying the sea view". Maria Ferreira

"What a fantastic place to spend a holiday. It was great to be able to walk to the beach with the children and we all enjoyed the facilities nearby - Zoomarine with its dolphin show, Sagres fort, walking on the cliffs to name a few. After the children were in bed it was nice to relax by having a glass of wine on the balcony watching the sunset. We will definitely come back for 2 weeks next year". Mrs Swann

"Five of us have just come back from a golfing week. We enjoyed our stay at Villa Olivia - it was clean and comfortable and the arrangements went very smoothly. It was so convenient to be able to drive such a short distance to 5 different world-class golf courses and then recover with beers and satellite TV in the evenings". Mike H.
