We love this place

Over the last 30 years we’ve stayed at Quinta Mimosa many times. It’s a little dated now but that just adds to its charm. The peaceful surroundings and fabulous views are a recipe for instant relaxation. Swimming, reading and barbecuing with the beach and restaurants a ten minute walk away - perfect

Fantastic villa with great views and good sized pool.

Wow! We were amazed at the size of the villa, gardens and pool. The gardens are well kept and tranquil,. The pool is a great size with plenty of space for sun loungers. The villa seems never ending and the games room provided much entertainment. The villa is in a peaceful area with fantastic views but only 10-15 minutes walk to everything Praia da Luz has to offer. We had a fabulous holiday thank you and would definitely return.

Lovely home in need of a little TLC

Wonderful location and large home with a big pool. Some rooms had an odor that we couldn't remove with opening the windows. Fortunately there were plenty of rooms so we didn't need to use the rooms with the odor. The check in process was easy and the property was in a great location that was very quiet. Overall we enjoyed our time.

A great villa for lazy days relaxing by the pool

The villa is very spacious with a large open plan living area, a couple of outdoor eating areas, a games room and four large double bedrooms (all ensuite). The beach and supermarket are only a 10-15 minute gentle walk away, though we ended up spending most of our time in the pool which is surrounded by a lovely private garden and tall trees giving total privacy. The only minor gripe was that some aspects of the property are starting to feel a little less well maintained.

the perfect holiday for all ages

Quinta Mimosa offers the ideal holiday for families - the outstanding gardens are extremely spacious and are not overlooked and very well maintained, with a large heated pool and different areas in which to barbecue or merely sit and enjoy the view and peacefulness.The house is very attractive being large and roomy with all mod cons, and a play room for children and teenagers,also an open interior courtyard if you really wish to catch the sun!. It is a short walk to the nearest supermarket - which is very well stocked. The local village offers many choices of restaurants and bars. Our holiday was perfect and we would highly recommend Quinta Mimosa, we have been there many times and look forward to going back again.

Stunning Villa

The photos on the website don't do this place justice! It's huge with an amazing view and equally amazing grounds. We stayed for 10 days with another family ( 4 children in total aged from 10-14) and all had a fantastic time. The villa is within easy walking distance of the beach, shops and restaurants. We spent most of our time in and around the pool. The villa is really spacious and clean and has everything you could need. Praia Da Luz is a small friendly resort with a lovely beach (the sea was rather cold though!) It is easy to get a bus to nearby Lagos. We loved our 10 days at Quinta Mimosa and really hope to return.

Amazing. Pictures don’t do it justice

The villa is amazing. We were 8 of us (kids aged 1,3,12,15) Very spacious villa with an amazing outdoor space. The grounds and location are big enough that although you’re in the middle of luz you feel you are away from everything. All facilities we needed for the younger kids. 10min walk down to the beach which our 3year old did with ease. The pool was heated to a lovely temperature. The only thing the villa would benefit from is air conditioning throughout the summer months. Most of the week the temperatures were fine with the fans , but when the temperatures increased it was a little uncomfortable at night… would 100% go back and hope to on the near future. ***100% recommend***

Nearly perfect

Quinta da Mimosa is a beautiful, large property that lacks nothing by way of amenities. It may be getting a little tired but generally it is a perfect spot for a family or large group. We had some difficulty checking in as the code was sent weeks before and being non-Europeans we had no internet access to retrieve it from our emails. (Our bad for not retreving it earlier).The owner was super quick to help us out, however. Please note if you plan to use the oven, there is a learning curve. Finally, we would highly recommend Quinta da Mimosa as it is a quiet, restful property in a vibrant area. Thank you to Ruth, Sylvia, Jinny and Natasha.

Absolutely stunning villa

We had such a lovely stay at Quinta Mimosa having been lucky enough to get a visit in during May half term. The villa is really spacious and well laid out, with everything you need (even proper knives in the kitchen which is so rare in a holiday let!). The heated pool was a really good size, and the children spent hours in it, and exploring the lovely garden. The villa is in a really convenient location - 5 minutes walk to the supermarket and 15 minutes to the beach (although we ended up driving the latter as it’s quite an uphill walk for tired children at the end of the day). The beach at Praia da Luz is beautiful and sandy, with great rock pools, and a number of good enough restaurants. We also had some lovely days at Praia Dona Ana in Lagos, less than 15 minutes drive away, which is the gorgeous one you see in loads of the Portugal tourism posters. There was a very helpful information pack in the villa which included loads of restaurant recommendations. We particularly enjoyed Chico Ze and Casinha do Petisco. All in all we had an absolutely amazing time, and would thoroughly recommend the villa.

As advertised!

We stayed with 7 people (5 adults and 2 children) at Ruth's place for a week the beginning of May. The villa is located on a hill and provides a great view over the sea. The four bedrooms are spacious, each room has its own bathroom with toilet. The swimming pool is (green-)heated to a comfortable 30 degrees Centigrade, the children could play all day in it. There is a choice of seating locations to enjoy your meals: a sheltered balcony for breakfast, near the swimming pool for dinner and next to the BBQ for.. the BBQ! Based on the pictures in the living room it seems that the owners are also staying here which provides an authentic feel to the place. There is plenty of everything: a large BBQ, a large kitchen with a stove, two large refrigerators, plenty of cutlery, plates, cups, glasses etc. There are two supermarkets nearby and the Intermarché Hypermaket and the Fish Market in the Mercado Municipal in Lagos (a 10 minute drive) provide one-stop shopping for everything else. Luz is a nice village with a great beach (but note that the sea is quite chilly in May) and lots of restaurants and bars to enjoy. Visiting the beaches at the Atlantic Ocean (a 30 minute drive) to enjoy the swell for swimming or surfing is highly recommended!

This is without doubt an extraordinary property and all of our mainly family group of 7 agree that of all the holiday properties we have stayed at in the uk, Florida and Portugal this was the overall winnerYes we had read the reviews about the property needing some upgrading and this is correct in some areas but for us this added the to the character, charm and instant homeliness that we all enjoyedAll four bedrooms on-suit, with double doors opening onto a communal terrace right across the back of the home that overlooks the largest pool we have ever had , surrounded by lawned area’s and extensive gardens all with a sea viewWe are a mainly family group of seven ranging from 20 to 77 and yes there is an uphill walk from the centre of LUZ and yes you need to have an open mind about some of the dated parts of the home , a show house it isn’t but without doubt a home it isI have only dealt with Ruth, the owner by message but she sounds like a very nice person who alway responded quickly in a helpful way, Silvia the housekeeper is a lovely obliging lady and told us she has worked for the family for 50 years, who i believe have owned the property since the early 1970’sI could go on but to finalise if you want a stay in LUZ and you don’t mind overlooking some of the dated parts of this property to experience it’s charm and the ‘not over challenging 15 min uphill walk from the beach area and centre of LUZ then I believe that like us you will be amazed
