Overview
Description
Casa Pôr do Sol is our home, but is available for summer rental - see our calendar for available dates.It is a zero-fossil fuel villa. All our energy comes from the sun, and we use battery storage, and air source heat pumps to heat water.
The villa is situated on the exclusive Monte Lemos development 10 minutes walk from the centre of Praia da Luz, and 1 hour drive from Faro airport. The location is very private. 3 of our 4 bedrooms are available during rentals, so we can accommodate up to 6 guests. There are 3 bathrooms.
The rental cost is fully inclusive, and is for up to 6 guests.. There are no extra charges.
Casa Pôr do Sol was built in 2003, but we extensively upgraded the villa over a period of 9 months during 2023.
The villa is on three split levels. The master bedroom, on the third level, has a super-king sized bed, an en-suite bathroom, and its own terrace which faces south-west, and offers superb views. The other two bedrooms are on the second level. One has a double bed, an en-suite shower room, and its own terrace. The third bedroom has twin beds, and its own terrace, and a large family bathroom close by. All bedrooms are a similar size. The master bedroom and the double bedded room both have air conditioning. The twin and double also have ceiling fans. The master bedroom has a locking safe for your valuables. The upper landing has a desk/work station, and bookshelves with a good selection of books.
On the ground floor, there is a large open plan room, which has three large patio doors opening onto a patio overlooking the pool.
A media wall has a 50” 4K Smart TV (sign in to your U.K. streaming channels), and a Sonos music system. There is an extendable dining table with 8 chairs. The contemporary designed fully equipped kitchen and utility room have high-end appliances, including an American style fridge/freezer with ice maker and filtered cold water dispenser. All furniture, fitments and appliances are new.
The front hallway has a cloakroom. The back door from the utility room, opens directly onto the rear driveway where you park.
The open plan ground floor room is air conditioned. We have very fast fibre broadband, and Wifi is available throughout the villa.
A landline telephone is located in the lounge, which can be used for local calls.. A locking safe for valuables is located in the master bedroom.
There is a thatched pergola with dining area outside, which is perfect for outdoor dining on warm summer evenings. There is a kidney shaped salt water (no unhealthy chemicals) swimming pool, which is heated to 28 degrees and has a roller cover if required. Pool heating is included in the rental cost. The pool is serviced weekly. There are six sun beds on the pool patio. A pool safety fence can be installed prior to your arrival if you have young children. The villa is surrounded by gardens, and is fenced and gated so is very secure. There are extensive patios with comfortable outdoor seating, tables and chairs, and a portable Weber barbecue.
The building, furnishings and fitments are to a high standard. To reduce environmental impact, the villa is equipped with solar panels and air-source heat pumps to heat the water, photovoltaic panels to generate electricity, and batteries to store the electricity. Grey water and sewerage from the villa is treated and re-cycled for use in the garden, along with stored rain water. There is a Type 2 car charger for guests who arrive in an electric car - please inform us beforehand.
No fossil fuels (gas, oil, fire wood) are used.
Casa Pôr do Sol is fully compliant with the Alojamento Local licencing system for property rentals in Portugal. After all the appropriate health and safety inspections, we were granted the licence in May 2015. Our Licence Number is: 12733 / AL. Any villa owners who rent their properties and who do not have this licence, are breaking the law.
Our villa management company's office is nearby. They will be on hand to assist with any information that our guests need, or to sort out any problems during your stay. They have managed the villa since it was built, and they know it very well. Their service is first class, and they will ensure that you have an enjoyable stay.
Our maid visits the villa twice a week, to clean, make beds etc, although we can make this less frequent if you prefer. All bed linen, towels and beach towels are provided. There will be a small essentials food welcome pack on your arrival, and if you wish, we can arrange a full grocery delivery to be at the villa when you arrive. Babies are catered for - there is a cot with bedding, and a high chair.
Praia da Luz is a beautiful small holiday resort with a superb safe beach. It has a good selection of restaurants, cafes, bars, shops and 2 supermarkets. However, for much more choice, the lovely historic town of Lagos is only 4km away. Here, there are the major supermarkets: Continente, Intermarche, Pingo Doce, Lidl and Aldi.
Lagos has many superb restaurants and shops, museums, a beautiful marina, beaches, and much more.
If you play golf, you have a choice of 4 excellent courses within a 20 minute drive - Santo Antonio, Espiche, Palmares, and Penina.
Within a short drive from the villa, there are some of the best beaches in the Algarve: Luz, Meia Praia, Burgau, Salema, Figuera, and Furnas.
Access to the villa from Faro airport is very easy, via the very quiet A22 motorway, which is no longer a toll motorway. The journey takes just less than 1 hour. We can recommend car hire companies for rentals from the airport, or if you prefer, you can take one of the pre-booked shuttle buses.
We have been renting Casa Por do Sol for 20 years, and have many very happy clients who return to the villa regularly for their holidays.
However, as the villa is now our main home, we restrict rentals to the summer months - July, August, and part of September (see rental calendar for exact dates).

Casa Pôr do Sol Review
By Will & Helen Ballatyne on 02-Sep-2025Our stay at Casa Por Do Sol was nothing short of amazing. Perched on a hill just outside the hustle and bustle of Luz, it offered the perfect combination of seclusion and accessibility. Facing the setting sun, the view was breathtaking, and the evening breeze was a refreshing touch after a day of exploration. The villa was beautifully sheltered and private, allowing us to truly unwind and disconnect from the world. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, making this the ideal spot for families to relax and enjoy quality time together. The villa is immaculately decorated with modern, high-end finishes and appliances that made us feel right at home. The air conditioning was especially appreciated on some of the hotter evenings, ensuring a comfortable night's sleep. The grounds were a paradise of exotic flowers and plants, beautifully landscaped to create a serene atmosphere. The outdoor space was another highlight—there were so many different seating areas, making it perfect for entertaining or simply soaking in the surroundings. We enjoyed cozy cinema nights on the cooler evenings, and the kitchen was a dream for preparing meals with fresh produce from the local markets. This villa truly offered everything we needed for a peaceful, luxurious getaway. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and create lasting memories as a family. Thanks so much, Helen & Will
Fantastic 10 days.

Casa Por do Sol holiday
By Mr Steve Martin on 15-Aug-2025Just back from a week at your lovely villa in Praia da Luz in the Algarve. Wanted to let you know we had a great week at your place and was really impressed with the size, finish and peaceful location. We loved the pool area and modern kitchen and lounge and would not hesitate to return to Casa Por do Sol. It was great to deal with you directly, and all of your communication and helpful instructions provided great peace of mind in the build up to the holiday. Really appreciate everything and congratulations to you on your wonderful home! Kind regards Steve
The perfect accommodation
By Sue E on 13-Aug-2024We had an absolutely fantastic stay at the villa we rented in Luz, Portugal. From start to finish, Timothy was an amazing host—extremely accommodating and always available to ensure our stay was perfect. The villa itself was immaculate and incredibly well-equipped with everything we needed, making it feel like a true home away from home. The location couldn’t have been better. The Villa is in such a lovely and safe area, perfect for a relaxing holiday. We all loved the peaceful surroundings, whilst being just a short distance from local restaurants etc. We can’t recommend this villa and Timothy’s hospitality enough. We’ll definitely be back!
