Hidden away in the small town of Praia da Luz, this cool coastal apartment is the perfect base for your next trip to the Algarve. It’s the location that’s the selling point here – not only are you surrounded by a whole host of authentic bars and eateries, but you’re just two minutes from the town’s eponymous beach, ideal for relaxing under the hot Portuguese sun or cooling off in the blue waters of the Atlantic. The house itself is nothing to scoff at though. Boasting a large open-plan living area and pleasing views of the sea, it’s the perfect place to unwind after a day of being out and about in the Algarve. Sink into the comfy living room sofa or step out onto the private terrace and enjoy a cool glass of wine under the evening sun. When it’s time to eat, cook up a storm in the kitchen or treat your entourage to a meal at Fortaleza da Luz, a castle-turned-eatery within striking distance of your apartment. Tuck into a delicious seafood cataplana and gaze out at the gorgeous coastline as you sip a glass of the region’s best wine. We don’t know about you, but we...
