About this property

Casa Cian Luxury 8th floor apartment with stunning 270° Sea View,140m from beach

Casa Cian is a beautifully maintained property and is officially licensed by the Portuguese Authorities for rental purposes. It is a recently renovated 2 bedroom 8th floor duplex apartment in the Luztur Complex situated right in the centre of Luz, it is a 2 minute walk to the beach. As it is the end apartment in the tallest building in Luz it has the most stunning panoramic view in all of Luz from sunrise to sunset. Being the end apartment it also benefits from having a fireplace with a Wood burning stove for the cooler winter months.

Fiber Optic High Speed Wi-Fi : For those of you working remotely I have just installed (Sept 2020) Unlimited High Speed Fibre Optic Wi-Fi so that you can now benefit from a quiet working environment with a stunning view. It is DL 500, 100 UL Mbps, which in practical terms is several devices for 4/5 people.

The upstairs level consists of 2 bedrooms (sleeps 4), both with sea views.. Plus a bathroom with state of the art shower unit .

Down stairs is the kitchen, spacious living room and large balcony area. The kitchen at the entrance is fully fitted with all mod cons and makes maximum use of the available space. It is bright and airy.

The living room is spacious, warm and welcoming with an open wood burning stove for winter months, it has a L shaped settee, subdued lighting and a large oval shaped dining table leading on to the balcony. Smart TV / Fiber Optic High Speed unlimited internet access .

I have also installed your very own Honesty Bar with a spinning Optic wheel. So, at 6 o clock time (or earlier) if you have had a hard day at the beach or perhaps spent the day Video Conferencing you can make yourself a soothing Margarita and enjoy the
fading light on the beach below. Perfect.

The balcony is large with an overhanging area for sunbathing and a separate area also which has the Bar-B-Q on it.

Praia da Luz area: Praia da Luz meaning beach of light is a former fishing village and despite development over the years it has lost none of it's charm or character. There are plenty of good restaurants in Luz, especially sea food. And the beach itself is beautiful for an early morning or evening stroll.

Check out the wonderful the Aerial Video of Luz on this site taken by Lewis Davies.

Lagos is the nearest town. It has lots of history and is well worth a visit. It benefits from a strong summer sun with a cooling breeze. Spring and Autumn weather is glorious with warm fresh days and balmy evening breezes.
Lagos is an old Moorish port. It has a more lively night life than Luz and has plenty of good restaurants to choose from. It has a daily indoor market selling fresh fish and vegetables and you will enjoy just strolling along it's old narrow cobbled streets or the new tastefully developed Marina, offering boat trips to visit the famous grottos and caves of Ponte de Piedade.

Praia da Luz area: The beach and pace of life make it ideal for a very relaxing holiday. From the atmospheric Fortaleza overlooking the rugged cliffs, you can stroll along the promenade towards the beautiful beach, and enjoy a coffee along the way in one of the many small sea front restaurants.

There are a good choice of restaurants in Luz and if you like seafood, you won't be disappointed.
There are also good cafes/restaurants and take-aways that are reasonably priced. There is a very good Portuguese run restaurant on the beach itself which is not overly priced.

There are now 2 local supermarkets right beside the apartment, a SPAR in the same block, you simply take the elevator downstairs. It has a good choice of products and is good value. It also has a nice coffee shop. The other supermarket is Baptista's which is just 200 metres across the road from the apartment.

Casa Cian and Luz: The sunrises are stunning, rising over the sea at the far end of the beach. From here I can watch the fishing boats come in as the fishermen wrap up another nights catch. At sunset I can sit out and enjoy the warm glow of the evening light on Rocha Negra, literally translated ‘Black Cliff’, the cliff at the far end of the beach which was formed from volcanic activity.
Luz is ideally suited to both the independent traveller who wants to explore, hike and cycle, but equally it is a quieter family resort catering to kids.

It really has everything you need close at hand, and if you play Golf, you have a choice of several courses close by and great deals in winter time.

I would highly recommend Luz as an all year round destination, with 3000 hours of sunshine per annum, the equivalent to California, how can you go wrong.

Excellent as ever.

Can't imagine you'd get a better view than from this apartment in Luz. Of you're looking for some r&r this is the place to be. Cian has thought of everything, from sunhats to every piece of kitchen equipment. Can't think of anything that's missing. This is the perfect location and the perfect view! Looking forward to our next trip already!

Wonderful winter break

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Casa Cian with the outstanding view from all windows and all around on the balcony. The apartment was extremely quiet and peaceful as was the rest of Luz in the winter months. Logs were available in the supermarkets directly below so we had lovely fires if it was chilly. We met Cian on our last day and had a chat which was nice. There are some restaurants open for those not wishing to cook. So thank you Cian for everything and your help if ever it was needed.

Comfortable and clean, conveniently located for shops and restaurants, outstanding views

We enjoyed our stay at Cian's flat. It was exactly as described, everything was neat and clean and we enjoyed our stay. Cian was very responsive and answered all our questions promptly. Shops and restaurants and the beach were all within easy walking distance. The views from the flat were amazing.

This is perfect!

The view from this apartment is to die for! I spent many a long our just sitting on the balcony and taking in the beauty of the place. The only slight negative point was lack of air con, however Cian provided two very strong fans which helped immensely. At night we kept the windows closed as we were unsure if they could be left open, from a safety perspective, so some nights we didn't have a comfortable sleep. However having spoken with Cian he assured us it would be safe. Unfortunately we only realised this towards the end of the holiday. I wish I had confirmed the window situation at the start of our trip but that's completely our fault. This flat has everything you could possibly imagine. Think of any item and you'll find it in there. Cian has thought of everything and is always available if you need any addition help or information. We can't wait to come back and would definitely recommend this flat and the area. So glad we found it! Thanks Cian.

Lovely relaxing Christmas

We stayed for 9 nights over Christmas in Casa Cian. Wonderful location, wonderful view, wonderful host. The apartment is handy to all the local amenities and Cian was at the other end of the phone if there were any problems. Cian has recently installed a new shower which was quite luxurious after a day of walking. There's also a new wood burning stove which on a couple of very chilly nights provided great warmth throughout the apartment. There's logs and kindling available at the Spar down below so all very handy. Luz is very quiet during the holiday season which was what we wanted and although quite a few restaurants were closed for the season, there was still a good choice of places to eat (do try OndaLuz for a great meal and wonderful staff). Loved our time there.

My favourite place in the world.

We love this place so much we've come every single year since we discovered it. It's so central you don't really need a car. Lovely stove and wood on sale downstairs in the spar shop. Walk to the beach. The apartment itself has a lovely homely vibe and Cian is so easy to do business with. Hoping to go back again later this year, it's a home from home.

Terrific in the Algarve

Just look at the view......We stayed here for a week at the start of March and found it to be simply beautiful. Excellent communication from the owner, terrific double bed with the view of the sea, great shower and a super comfotrable new couch to relax on when staying in. All this making for a great holiday. We will definately return just as soon as we can. Loved it .... Paul T.

Excellent location and spectacular views.

A very comfortable apartment with everything you could possibly need for a stay away from home. The south facing balcony with spectacular sea views gets full sunshine from first thing in the morning until late in the evening. The location is a short walk from the sea front at Luz with all its cafés and restaurants and with supermarkets literally at the door of the building. It has a well equipped kitchen with everything you need, the fastest broadband we have ever seen on vacations worldwide and a great choice of tv channels including all the regular UK ones.

Beautifull apartment with great panoramic seaview

This was the second time my wife & I stayed in Cian's apartment. And both times we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. When we arrived the place was spotless. And its striking feature are the panoramic views of the Praia da Luz beach & cliffs and the surrounding country side. The apartment has an upstairs & downstairs: upstairs two spacious bedrooms & a bathroom and downstairs a kitchen and nice living room and ofcourse the balcony with the stunning views. Cian's place is conveniently situated in the centre of Luz, so beach, restaurants & shops are all in easy walking distance, while you can park your car just across the road in a spacious free car park. Cian has made a folder with lots of info about Luz & the region so that you immediately can get familiarized with this beautiful part of the Algarve. So, as we already did, one has every reason to re-visit Casa Cian! Greetings, Frans

Spektakulärer Meerblick

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Urlaub mit unseren Kindern in diesem gemütlichen Appartement. Besonders gefallen hat uns der Wahnsinnsblick vom Balkon. Aber auch die Tatsache einen Sparmarkt unter im Haus zu haben war sehr praktisch, insbesondere wenn man ohne Auto Urlaub macht. Von jedem Zimmer aus konnte man aufs Meer blicken und durch den leichten Wind wurde es im Appartement auch nicht zu heiß. Die Kommunikation mit Cian, dem Besitzer, lief schnell und unkompliziert. Wir kommen gerne wieder, wenn wir das nächste Mal in Portugal sind.

Fantastic

A stunning top floor apartment with outstanding views of Luz. Centrally located, superb facilities, clean, well presented and close to all local amenities. Luz is a lovely quaint former fishing village with golden beaches and stunning cliff/costal walks. Some great value restaurants. Highly recommended. 1st class customer care by the owner Cian

You know that picture ...

... from a child clinging to the door frame and yelling „No! I dont wanna leave!“ ? Well, thats me when I had to leave Casa Cian... :-( I can't remember holidays that made it this hard for us to go home. Considering what all the other visitors wrote, needless to say: The view from the apt. over Luz and the whole beach is just beautyful - at any time of the day! And this comes from one who doesnt really need to see any more sunrise, who thinks „I‘ve already seen them all...“. But I spent a whole lot of time on that balcony of Casa Cian enjoying the view... The apt. is really beautyful, equiped with anything you could need, even a little morey board for the beach! From the bedrooms you also have the view to the beach, and I always let the curtains open so I would open my eyes in the morning and see the ocean and the little boats just from my bed! And as the window opens to the east, the sun wakes you up - if the seagulls didnt before. I recorded the seagulls with my phone to continue this at home. :-) The Spar and Baptista Supermarkets really have anything you need. We preferred Baptista. As for the restaurants in Luz, we certainly had not the time to try them all, but I also would recommed to consider eating in Burgau (at the beach) an Lagos as well, for we had some really nice dinners there! As our family and friends who have seen our holiday fotos got really envious about it, I think that some of them are already considering about booking Casa Cian for their next holidays. And I think we also can't entirely rule out that we are coming back... ;-) And last but not least: The owner Cian is the most kind and helpfull apt. landlord you could wish for! Thanks a lot!!!

a view to render you speechless!

We've just got back from a fantastic holiday in Casa Cian. The apartment was really lovely, clean, spacious and very welcoming, and the view was truly amazing. Cian (the owner) has thought of absolutely everything to make a stay as comfortable as possible. It was real home from home. The location was great too, 5 mins walk down to the beach, either down a pretty tree lined road or along the sea front. The Spa supermarket on the ground floor had everything that we needed. We ate in on a few evenings...it would have been a shame not to, i even decided that i'd rather cook so we could eat on the balcony and enjoy the view. The beach is lovely and very clean, and after spending the day on it, we used to enjoy a late afternoon jug of sangria at the Habana Bar on the sea front, while watching the world go by, before heading back to our little bit of paradise. Our favourite meal out was at the Atlantico restaurant, piri piri tiger prawns and Portuguese chicken...fantastic meal..lovely bottle of house red too...and i'm 'fussy' wine lover! The Galley restaurant was also great, on the sea front..so a meal overlooking the beach...stunning! What more can i say...a truly wonderful holiday and I can't even remember how i discovered Casa Cian in the first place...but BOY am i pleased i did!! I couldn't recommend it MORE highly, and thank you so much Cian for all your your help, you're a star!

Our Stay in Casa Cian.

What a beautiful apartment, it was exactly how I expected it to be and a real home from home. I would have to say and I have booked apartments directly from owners before that this was the best apartment I have ever stayed in. Cian you really thought of everything from the well equipped kitchen to providing everything we needed to take to the beach and the booklet you left with everything we needed to know about restaurants and the local area. We had some lovely meals out our favourite restaurants were Atlantico, Ondaluz and the Look Steak house there was one restaurant that I would avoid and that is the Fortaleza it may look beautiful and have lovely views but the food and service leave a lot to be desired. All in all I would highly recommend Cian's apartment to anyone looking to stay in Praia Da Luz. Thanks again Cian for everything. Clare and Philip Byrne.

"All we hoped for and more"

We opened the door to our suite and the view was absolutely stunning. The apartment was clean, very comfortable, modern kitchen with modern appliances. The owner left an excellent guide book that he had prepared with lots of advice on shopping, restaurants, beaches etc. The location couldn't be better, close to shopping, beaches and the ice cream stand! We would definitely recommend this property to a friend or relative.

Great Apartment with Stunning Sea Views

My husband and I enjoyed an 8 Day break in Casa Cian in October '12. We chose this apartment based on it's spectacular sea views and central location within Praia da Luz. We were not disappointed and if anything the apartment exceeded our expectations. The views from the balcony were simply amazing and we never tired of sitting out there and enjoyed many beautiful sunrises. It really does capture the sun all day long and is the perfect spot to chill out and unwind. The apartment itself is lovely and very well presented. We had all the comforts of home and found the Kitchen to be well equipped with everything we required. There are two good Supermarkets within a 3 minute walk from the apartment and also some good take away options in the immediate area. Luz has some great restaurants and it was not possible to try them all on this trip but we ate out quite a bit and had some lovely meals. Both bedrooms have lovely sea views and we were delighted that the apartment was so quiet and restfull. The open fire is a lovely addition and adds to the appeal of the apartment. We found there to be ample parking in the immediate vicinity which was a bonus. The owner Cian is extremely helpful and willing to share his knowledge of Luz and surrounding areas. We got the impression that he really wanted us to enjoy our stay and was always available to answer any queries we had. I have already recommended this apartment to family and friends and my Sister and her family stayed here over Christmas and also had a fabulous stay. I look forward to returning to Praia da Luz and Casa Cian will be my 1st choice should it be available.

September 2012

We booked the apartment around 5 days before leaving the UK. The owner kept a slot for us until we could get a flight....it was touch and go as we had left it so late. Praia da Luz is a lovely place to visit. It has a nice beach to the left and right of the apartment. It took around five minutes to walk down. A walk up along the black mountain to the left of the apartment and the costal path to the right is a must. I took a light pair of walking boots with me......I needed them. Restaurants - I'm the worlds worst at remembering where I eat or drink. If I like the look of the place I'll just head in.....so my review is very vague. In Luz we went to both Indian restaurants just behind the church. They were both very good with friendly staff and service. In addition the Chinese restaurant (the one with the fish in a tank as you enter) was very good. We ventured out to Lagos a couple of times. There was an italian restaurant near the centre which had an excellent chicken with a wine and mushroom sauce. In addition we decided to visit Carviero just to see if there were any changes there. We have been there a couple of times.It's only 1/2 an hours drive away from Luz. Monchique was quite nice. I managed to take a few shots of some goat herders on the way there. Lovely setting and we had a snack in a cafe' in the centre next to the water feature. Well worth a visit if just for the drive up. The apartment was very well equipped with everything that we needed. The TV was handy if just to see the UK weather and gloat when we saw the forecast!!! The views from the apartment are 270 degrees and we found ourselves people watching in the late afternoon whilst enjoying a coffee and some cake. The Spar and Baptista supermarkets are very close to the apartment. I found the prices quite reasonable with good choices. Basically a relaxing holiday at a good apartment which is perfectly located in the middle of town. Wish I was there now :-)

Paradise

We stayed at Casa Cian for a week in Jan and had a wonderful holiday blessed by great weather. The apartment is beautifully laid out with some lovely touches i.e your own Honesty Bar for those early evening aperitifs on the balcony which offers stunning views across the bay. It was clean and modern with all the home comforts that you could need. The location is very convenient for the local supermarket, butchers, coffee shops & restaurants with a lovely beach just a stroll away. Luz is also the perfect base for travelling to other villages and beaches. We eat locally a few nights as there are many fine restaurants to choose from but we mainly self catered as we wanted to relax and enjoy the apartment. The kitchen was well stocked with everything that we needed. The view is idyllic and soothing and we spent many a night sitting out after dinner with a glass in hand just listening to the ocean. Planning and booking the holiday was very easy thanks to the excellent & prompt communication from Cian both before and during our visit. He also made great recommendations for restaurants, walks and hikes along the coast. All in all I would highly recommend Casa Cian to family and friends. Thank you Cian for making our much needed holiday very special.

"Casa Cian" in Praia da Luz

We found "Casa Cian" lived up to the information as advertised online and in further information provided by Cian. It is ideally situated on the 8th floor of an apartment block in the centre of Luz close to the beach, shops and several restaurants. So unless you wish to travel further along the coast a car is not necessary once you have arrived. Being so high it has an oustanding view across the bay from the balcony, lounge and 'master' bedroom. The balcony itself is a 'sun trap', even in February it was very hot at times. The kitchen is well equiped for self catering, which was important to us as we were there for a month. Cian had recently upgraded the Television to receive the UK Freeview Channels and the provision of the internet facility we found very useful. Cian had also arranged for the chimney to be swept as we had indicated that we may like to odd open fire on colder February evenings. We were blessed with four weeks of blue skies and sunshine so all in all we had a lovely time at 'Casa Cian'. John and Lynn Reynolds, Lincolnshire

SIMPLY WONDERFUL

One of the most interesting, slightly different apartments we have had the pleasure of staying in. The ownert was extremely helpful in every aspect of the whole booking/stay exsperience. We would always consider a second trip to Casa Cian.

About the host

Hosted by Cian O'Loingsigh

Host profile image
Originally from Dublin, I worked on cruise ships as a photographer for 15 years and Praia da Luz was always my first port of call when I was home.I lived in Luz for 4 years from 1986 - 1990 running a bar there and I have been visiting now for 30 years. I am currently living in Dublin but escape 3 or 4 times a year to what I consider my little piece of paradise. It is great to be able to share this with others.

Why they chose this property

My father retired here in 1987, we looked at a few apartments to buy but once we saw the view from here that was it. We knew we would never get better. The location is perfect, it is right in the heart of the village and just a few minutes walk to the beach. There are 2 supermarkets in the immediate vicinity and a good choice of restaurants and coffee shops.

What makes this property unique

Stunning 270 degree views from Sunrise to Sunset..The balcony holds the light all day long and there is nothing more magical than sitting out at dusk and watching the fading light of day on Rocha Negra in front of you. You also have the same sea view from both bedrooms. As it is the end apartment it is very bright with light pouring into every room. I have maximised this by putting in new windows, frosted glass front door and bedroom doors. The apartment has been completely upgraded over the years. It is a very quiet block with most owners having bought their apartments as holiday homes for their own occasional use. So mostly the only sounds you will hear are the waves breaking down below. Oh and the seagulls flying past.
