Welcome to our 300-year-old fisherman’s cottage, where old-fashioned charm meets modern comfort

Experience a unique blend of rustic charm and modern comfort in this beautifully restored former fishermen’s cottage, located just steps from the beach. This cozy retreat offers a tranquil escape with the convenience of beachfront living, perfect for families or groups seeking a peaceful getaway.

This beautifully converted holiday home offers a romantic retreat with a private pool and terrace. The soft colors of the décor are perfectly complemented by the natural light that fills the rooms.

Located just 200 meters from the beach and close to the amenities of Praia da Luz, the cottage is ideally situated. A small supermarket and bakery are within walking distance, so you can easily pick up fresh bread and fruit. Free parking is available near the house.

Recently refurbished, the self-catering cottage includes three bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area, a Moroccan-style bathroom with both a bathtub and shower, and a cozy sitting room. The thick walls of the traditional construction ensure the house stays cool in summer and warm in winter.

With two beds in each of the second and third bedrooms, there’s ample space for everyone. Curl up with a book in the sitting room or start your day with coffee and honey cake by the private pool. Enjoy a day at the beach or exploring local sights, and end your evening relaxing under the fruit trees on the shady terrace.

I’m thrilled to have you stay at one of our properties, each personally developed by me. Having lived in the Algarve for over 20 years, I’ve filled the cottage with unique and eclectic pieces collected from my travels around the world.

Enjoy a peaceful meal in your private garden or explore the local dining scene with numerous restaurants and bars nearby. For quiet evenings, you’ll find a selection of board games and books in several languages, perfect for undisturbed relaxation.

If you’re searching for vegetarian dining options, local vineyards, almond and fig orchards, or hoping to spot a wild boar or dolphin, I’ve compiled a folder with my personal recommendations—places to visit, things to see, local products to buy, and must-try foods.

Rest easy knowing the beds are made and the closet is stocked with ample towels. The house is also equipped with soap, tea and dish cloths, herbs, dishwashing liquid, garbage bag, and the first roll of toilet paper.

No need to stress—you’re on vacation! Enjoy good food, a glass of wine, a refreshing dip in the pool, cycling, walking, or simply relaxing. We hope you quickly feel ‘at home’ and enjoy your stay.

We look forward to welcoming you! www casadapraia-algarve com

    It’s a cute cottage and is nicely presented but it has damp problems and is very cold. When we got into our beds on the first night the sheets felt damp. There is only one electric radiator in the back sitting room and a wood burning stove but we struggled to get the fire going with pine cones instead of kindling and only 5 matches left for this and the hob. Probably a lovely place in the summer when the weather is better. We were there in thunder storms and rain.

    We enjoyed our stay in this 300 year old fisherman’s house. Conveniently located. Parking not as easy as expected but we found spots the other side of the block. Luz was not too busy yet but I think this little seaside resort will be bustling in the Summer!

    What a wonderful rustic cottage with a great pool/yard space. The decor and comfort was great. The location was ideal with restaurants and the beach nearby. Parking is wherever you can find it nearby top or bottom of the hill as the road was too narrow to park. The amenities for the kitchen were well stocked. The lighting in the bathroom was dim but the lower part of the cottage had great light. It was cozy, comfortable and quiet- except for a neighbour’s dog excessively barking in the middle of the night. All 4 friends would stay again!

    Great host, all made simple and easy to locate. On our arrival we were pleasantly surprised to find that it was even better than the pictures. Only 1 min walk from the beach of Luz!!! Everything you could possible need and want in an holiday home. The host was always available if you needed anything and gilave us great advice about the local area. We loved the very nice decoaration and the quite terrace with pool and BBQ. The house was clean and tidy with plenty of space for our family! We had a wonderfull holiday!

    Great beautifull and very stylish cottage. We where a family of 2 adults and 4 children. The house has 3 bedrooms that fitted us all. More then enough room for us all. Very good kitchen and washing machine. But the location is the deal maker! Steps to the beach which our kids loved. Quite place and very clean. Many many restaurtants, 2 good supermarkets. We did go into the Lagos for groceries one day, but it isn't necessary. You will find everything you need in Praia da Luz. We loved the pool and the kids loved the beach toys. The owner was a dream to deal with! I could go on and on ...... dreaming of the Algarve and this amazing very cosy former fishermens cottage! I can't imagine anyone being disapointed with this rental.

    We spend a very nice holiday at Casa da Praia Algarve, everything you need for a very quiet relaxed holiday yet only a short stroll from the beach and the lovely restaurants. We loved the pool and the quite terrace outside where we had many BBQs. Very comfortable beds. Kitchen has everything you will need. The cottage was spotless when we arrived, very well maintained house. We would highly recommend this house and will return. Thank you to the owner for having us experience this unique house which made our holiday special.

    We have been spending our holidays in Praia da Luz for many years in a row now but this holiday was the best ever. The property is so unique in Praia da Luz. The house itself is really nice and the owner has done a great job in turning this former fishermens house into a very warm holiday home. Nicely decorated with good quality bedlinen etc.. We felt at home straight away when we opened the door. We loved the fantastic outdoor space with the pool, very quite so a perfect place to relax. The beach is your door step! For a family of 6 it was great. We could have not gotten any better place to stay and we will not be going anywhere else in the future. Thank you for everything and see you next year!

    The place is cosy and calm. A perfect place to relax. When the sun is out, there is no better place than the terrace! The house was very clean and we felt from the very beginning very comfortable! The location close the beach was great for our kids. The owner gave us a warm and genuine welcome that was much appreciated. 5 stars!! A holiday we can't fault, and a somewhere we hope to return to soon.

    Fabulous lovely decorated cottage nestled in a small village in the Algarve. The cottage is private, extremely clean, and was the perfect fit for our family holiday with our 4 kids. Thoroughly enjoyed the space and the highlight has to be the private and quite terrace with pool! We loved relaxing and dining on the patio. The beach is steps from house which was great for our kids. The owner is very friendly and gave us a warm welcome. She gave us lots of information on restaurants and beaches. Highly recommended for a very peaceful and happy stay! We will return!

    This cottage is spectaular and the location is great. We loved spending our evenings in the outdoor space! The local area is quite authentic and it gives a classic Portuguese experience, there are a couple of local bars and restaurants and the beach of Praia da Luz is a step from the house. The owner is very friendly and we loved the many recommendations. Highly recommended. We will definitely be coming back.Thank you so much.
