We stayed in the Luxloft in Liepaja in July this year for two weeks. We decided to come to Latvia after watching the Hairy Bikers on TV, the beaches looked beautiful. We were blown away by the LuxLoft, it is truly a hidden gem. The apartment is tasteful, impeccable, beautiful and comfortable. It is absolutely perfect! It is hard to summarise just how special this place is, from the décor to the lighting, the soft furnishings, the facilities and the location. We have two small children and it was perfect, they loved it, especially the TV/ surround sound and comfortable lounging area to watch all the DVDs that were there. After they went to bed we made maximum use of the ambient lighting, music system, sauna and bath! As for Liepaja, what a fabulous place, such nice people and some lovely little restaurants and beautiful bakeries- particularly Boulangerie and Pastnieka Maja . The supermarket and shops were close by and stocked with everything you could need and more. We love to go to the beach and Liepaja beach lived up to all our expectations, clean white sands, lovely sea, lots of sand dunes to tuck ourselves away into. Beach bars with lovely cold drinks (including the very nice and inexpensive Latvian champagne) to sit and watch the sunset on giant bean bags and totally chill out. We also enjoyed the history, culture and architecture, a lovely mix of old and new with some fantastic churches to look around. The seaside park was amazing, clean and plenty to do with the children. Judith and Ashley could not have been more helpful, it was a pleasure to meet them both. We had a thoughtful and wonderful welcome pack left for us, there were lovely products in the bathrooms to use and they took time to show us around the apartment and around Liepaja. It was our daughters birthday when we were there and they even supplied birthday candles as well as directing us to a great place to have a cake made. They sorted out bikes for us to use and actually we spent the whole holiday cycling around the very safe cycle paths to various points along the beach and different restaurants. The weather was great, we all came home with lovely tans! I can honestly say it was the most amazing, relaxing holiday I have ever had. I would HIGHLY recommend a visit. Thank you Judith and Ashley xx

Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Perfekte Lage der Wohnung und ein sehr freundlicher Service. Das Loft war sauber und es war alles da was man brauchte. Eine interessante Stadt mit netten Menschen. Unser Favorit für Cafe und Kuchen war die Boulangerie. Wir werden sicherlich nicht das letzte Mal dort gewesen sein.

If you are going to Latvia, forget about Riga. Liepaja is the place to go. There you can find everything you need for a nice holiday but much cheaper. The beach and park close to it is just amazing. I once tried to walk to the end of the beach but I had to give up after 2 hours and red shoulders. The city is nice and not to crowded. You will find a lot of nice restaurants. A lot of them have very nice business Lunch offers during Lunch time (starter and main course for 5 €, not bad). The market is another place you must visit. There you will find everything you need for a nice meal or you can just enjoy the nice atmosphere. If you are into music and culture, Liepaja has a lot to offer. If you want stay for a few days of more, forget about hotels. They all look the same and is nothing really special. The Lux Loft apartment is the place where to stay. It is only one of a kind and just to stay there is worth the whole trip to Latvia. It is masterpiece of design and comfort situated right in the middle of everything. From the balcony you will have a very nice view overlooking the variety of architectural epochs Latvia has been through. There you can enjoy your barbeque with friends. Everything in the flat is made with such care. You will find two superb double beds with exclusive bed linens. You will also find two nicely designed bathrooms with sauna, bath and washing machine. The kitchen is well equipped and you have a dish washer. After dinner you can relax in a nice sofa and enjoy a high end media system with 60 inch HD TV with superior stereo equipment. Windows and everything is run with remotes. The floor and the furniture is just something out of the ordinary. It is not all the things put together that makes this flat so unique, it is the atmosphere and is something you must experience to realize. The hosts Ashely and Judith are so nice and will provide you with the services you will need. I am already looking forward to my next holiday in the Lux Loft in Liepaja.

In 2012 our family spent 6 months living in Latvia while my husband was on job assignment there. The first three months we split our time between Riga and Ventspils. While we enjoyed our time in both places our experience in Liepaja is our most memorable. I believe we owe this to our decision to rent the LuxLoft from the LuxPod. At that moment our time went from work focus to being on vacation/holiday. While this particular loft is built to suit a couple with a guest couple, the staff and owners worked hard to make it extremely comfortable for our entire family; two growing teenage boys included. The space is set up in a way that everyone had space to get together, or have that much needed alone time. If our boys weren’t hanging out in the loft they could be found enjoying their video games on the 65” plasma screen from the totally space age bubble chair. My husband and I particularly enjoyed the terraces. We spent many nights sitting under on or both of the outdoor heaters watching and listening to life in Liepaja. The summer concert series filled the terrace with music and happy voices. If we weren’t there we were probably in our second favorite place-the sauna. While the kitchen is compact it is very efficient and we had no problem creating meals for our family almost every day; many times for our crew of friends as well. After sleeping in several beds throughout Latvia it was a joy to crawl into the bed in the LuxLoft, I think it may be the most comfortable in the country. The linens were of exceptional quality and the room is designed for comfort. While I was often too involved in the activity of the household I did sneak a few long soaks in the wonderful tub in the en suite bath. Even though the loft is a vacation in itself don’t miss life in Liepaja to remain home. The loft is perfectly situated for easy access to almost anywhere you might want to go. When you need a snack the Top grocery is a block away. Several museums and historical places are within a few minutes’ walk of the loft. Even better, if it’s summer, you will be able to grab one of the bikes and ride to one of the outdoor eateries found in the park along the beach and enjoy a glass of Uzavas beer and a snack followed by a ride on the beach. I believe this stretch of beach may be the best bike riding beach in the world. (The sand on the beach in Leipaja is amazingly soft to the touch-sunbath without a towel) Most of the best eateries in Liepaja can also be found near the loft...
