There is ample room for 6 sunbeds round the pool.

The Area: Praia Da Luz, Western Algarve
Luz is a busy and popular holiday resort 10 minutes by car from the medieval walled town and port of Lagos. Luz is a family favourite with its expansive safe, sandy beach, an abundance of water sports and activities plus numerous restaurants and bars scattered throughout the village. It is an ideal base to explore the Algarve. Go west and you arrive at the most south westerly point of Europe (Cape St Vincent), north west is Vila do Bispo and the Atlantic west coast, north lies the forest, north east the mountain village of Monchique and the hot mineral baths of Caldas de Monchique, east takes you to Lagos and then to Portimao, both offering excellent shopping and sightseeing, with plenty of night life and entertainment for those of a more energetic inclination. There are four top quality golf courses within 10 minutes' drive, a Zoo close by and the water parks "Slide and Splash" and "Aqualand" only 30 minutes away.
Whatever the season, you will find plenty to do in the surrounding area. Close to Lagos airport you can now try wakeboarding and you can also take a water taxi to and from Alvor during the summer from Lagos marina. Above the expansive beach of Meia Praia on the East side of Lagos is Parque Aventura (Lagos) which is great for outdoor activity for all ages and includes a Zip Line. Great reviews on Trip Advisor and open all year round. I f you want something more tranquil, try the Crazy Golf complex just outside the city walls. Suitable for all ages and abilities.

Changeovers are flexible out of peak season. But once a booking is taken for peak season, then we would prefer that bookings fall within one day of each other please. On the day of arrival, the villa is accessible from 2pm and must be vacated by 10am on the day of departure to allow preparation of the villa for the next clients who may be arriving later that day. If there is no one booked in immediately before you arrive or after your stay, it may be possible to be flexible on times.
We would prefer that change-overs do not occur on a Sunday if possible because the cleaners want a day off! However, if this is the only option, then whoever books second for that day may have to pay a 30 Euro surcharge. New clients will also be required to pay a £50 returnable security deposit with the balance of the villa rental which is returned no later than 14 days after the holiday has ended.
When confirming a reservation, a £100 deposit per week is required within 7 days, with the balance being paid no later than 6 weeks prior to your holiday arrival.
Reviews of VILA SOL
Great Villa in a great location in Praia Da Luz .
We had a short stay with everything provided for.
A beautiful heated pool and garden area with lemon
Oranges and limes all at hand to pick. The balcony was
special with a superb and relaxing setting looking out at the
sea in the distance .
The booking and communication was excellent and any questions answered immediately.
I have been holidaying in villas in the Algarve for the last
12 years and I can say this has been one of the most
enjoyable and very relaxing stay
with nothing to worry about at all
Thank You Kathryn for a lovely stay in your villa and we
will certainly be
looking to book again soon.
Regards,
Sean Kelly and Family
This villa is everything you could need. To sit on the terrace in the morning looking at the wonderful view, watching the boats float by in the distance is so relaxing and beautiful.
The facilities are excellent and the pool such a good size for both swimming and playing water vollyball, etc. Always a perfect temperature and so clean. The kitchen is fully equipped and lacks nothing. The lounge has games, books, television and very comfortable seating.
The gardens are gorgeous and if you go at the right time you can pick lemons and limes from the trees at the bottom of the garden for your drinks and cooking.
It is walkable to Luz and although a very steep hill back, very easily done. A car is needed for travelling further of course.
If we could live in the villa and stay forever we would, could not recommend it more and the owners are delightful to deal with.
Vila Sol is a lovely 2 bed villa well equipped and in a great location and has a super sea view. It is a nice 10/15 minute stroll downhill to bars, restaurants and the beach and a taxi back up the hill only costs around €5. The villa is kept spotless as are the gardens and pool. The pool area is very private and not overlooked at all. We have returned there for the last 3 years and hope to go again soon. I highly recommend this villa.
Perfect in every sense of the word. A lovely quiet area, fantastic pool and a brilliant house where you find every little thing you could possiby want.
Outside beautifully cared for gardens with a lemon just in reach for your G & T.
We will definitely be back some day..... thank you!
Myself, my Husband and my Mum stayed in Vila Sol last year and we were really hoping to return this year as it was so good. Obviously with the current situation we have not been able to, but we are definitely hoping to return next year though as it is a superb villa to stay in. It has everything that you need, it is clean, comfortable and has all the necessities that you need to feel at home while you are away. The views are fantastic and the pool is just gorgeous with a lovely grass area and flowers. I can not explain how lovely this villa is. We will definitely be returning at some point. Hopefully soon!!!
We have been coming to Villa Sol since 2007 and in that time Kath & Fred have made many improvements to the property including the fabulous pool and the extended terrace with stunning views.
The villa is equipped with everything you need to have a relaxing holiday and there are many good restaurants in both Praia da Luz and nearby Lagos.
There is plenty of golf in the area, the closest being Boavista which is a very challenging resort course.
Looking forward to our next visit.
