Luz Charming Houses

A Colorful, Bohemian Escape Inspired by the Traditional Architecture of Fatima

Named after a kidnapped Moorish princess and filled with Catholic mythology, Fatima is a town steeped in mystery and layered histories. Luz Charming Houses is an eclectic, bohemian boutique hotel inspired by the traditional architecture of Fatima from the 19th and early 20th centuries. The region, for many centuries, was largely barren and filled with homes built by the residents themselves alongside relatives and neighbors. The property reflects these intimate traditions alongside a dedication to ecological preservation, with pial porch houses, a natural cave in the garden with aromatherapy treatments, a sheep shelter, and a forest filled with indigenous plants.

Rooms are cozy, with pleasant natural tones, and light-filled. Concrete open-plan suites come fit with full kitchens, fireplaces, and sunken bathtubs. An on-site garden raises fruit trees, olive trees, and oaks. The pool is carved from stone, and there is a hermitage for meditation. Begin the day with a fresh, organic local breakfast, enjoy a soothing massage in the natural cave, and explore the surrounding area –known for cycling, the nature of the Serra D’Aire mountains, and many nearby beaches.

Beautiful hotel with personal touches throughout our stay. Breakfast was excellent and everyone was so friendly. It's a tranquil location walkable to Fatima holy site.

In general, it's a pleasant place for a short stay of 1 to 3 days. However, if you're seeking genuine relaxation, you might want to explore other options due to the noisy roads nearby. Regrettably, we won't be returning. Pros: - The breakfast was delightful. - The welcome we received was warm and inviting. - Morning room service was impressively swift. - The outdoor chill-out area was lovely. -The interior leaves a highly favorable impression. - External pottery class with José Siphioni Cons: - There's a noisy road nearby, leading to constant background car noise. - Limited opportunities for excursions. - The Poké Bowl (snacks) was overly sour and not recommended. Possible Improvements: - Consider placing garbage bins in the hotel's outdoor areas. - Equip the rooms with wardrobes to facilitate unpacking. - Implement noise cancellation measures in the breakfast area, as it can get quite loud with multiple guests. - Designate fewer smoking areas, and position them further away from food and social spaces. - The staff was friendly, although a more personalized touch could enhance the experience for such an intimate hotel.

We had an amazing stay! After a few days in Lisbon and before a day in Sintra we were craving some relaxing time, and Lux was the most perfect place. We woke up and enjoyed an incredible breakfast buffet (best I've ever had!) and then lounged by the pool before taking bikes into town. The We had an amazing stay! After a few days in Lisbon and before a day in Sintra we were craving some relaxing time, and Lux was the most perfect place. We woke up and enjoyed an incredible breakfast buffet (best I've ever had!) and then lounged by the pool before taking bikes into town. The staff is so friendly, and we especially loved our dinner where the Sous-chef came to our table to chat with us about the meal. 100% recommend! We also did a yoga class right when we arrived and it was just my husband and I - such a perfect way to transition into relaxation. [...]
