Lockdown Escape
I wanted to book an apartment where we felt safe and home from home if anything happened while in Portugal . Beautiful balcony was all we needed with amazing views . 5 min walk to beach where my son went body boarding and skimming . These can be hired for 2 weeks in town. 7 mins drive to Lagos. We drove left the car, Taxi back and ran or walked back for it in the morning. Everywhere felt safe . I’m fussy with my bed on holiday and they were all amazing, comfy and lovely linen and lovely towels. Apartment was lovely and clean and so was the mid stay clean that was done . Both the initial booking with Penny was smooth and taken over by Sonia who was great and efficient . On her recommendation we went surfing on the west coast which my son loved . Restaurants are hit and miss so worth doing your research . Quay was our favourite on the marina. Anyone with teenagers internet works fine and even used a PS4. Great holiday with plenty of places within 30 mins to visit

Super Stay
Everything in the apartment was as stated. Andrea was super, she checked us in and explained everything in the apartment and surrounding area. Would highly recommend this apartment to anyone staying in the Lagos area.

Lovely apartment with a large south facing balcony.
This apartment is well equipped with everything from coffee machine to wrap around music! It is spotlessly clean, comfortably furnished to a high standard. We were met at the apartment by Andrea who explained fully the workings of the apartment, gave us maps of the area and was all in all most informative. Unfortunately the only draw backs were the building of a villa opposite (the noise was sometimes a nuisance) and the hot tub on the roof was out of order which was disappointing as this is something we would have used regularly throughout our stay. We would recommend this apartment to friends.
Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr 2020
Thanks David for your feedback. Yes, it is a shame the hot tub is closed in winters. The condominium ‘powers to be’ decided so. Surprised about the noise from the villa, as it’s so nearly finished after 18 months. Most don’t notice a thing, so you must have had some bad luck with outside work being done. Apologies. Do stay again anytime. You can’t beat the view! Penny

Stunning apartment in a lovely quiet area
Just spent a wonderful week here, the apartment is stunning and very well equipped. Being met on arrival by Andrea to show us around was an added bonus and very much appreciated. We all loved the large balcony and spent many a lazy evening enjoying a drink Or two🍷

Loved Lagos
The accommodations were wonderful and as described. It was very well equipped with everything we needed and more. Andrea was a life saver. On our first day when we got hopelessly lost she came to find us and led us "home." She also provided us with great suggestions for things to do in Lagos and surroundings. The Carnival in Loule was amazing. Great accommodations and a great host. Ron, Sue, John & Jane

We enjoyed our stay tremendously. Well suited for a family of 4 ( with 2 kids). All amenities are excellent. Kitchen was well equipped with the exception of a functional coffee maker. That was our biggest complaint:(. Location and views are exceptional. We will return to Algarve one day and would recommend this property to friends and family. Thanks

Excellent location!
Loved staying in this beautiful apartment. Great location and fab views. Easy walk to the beach and slightly longer walk into Lagos. A bit disappointed the lady who manages the property couldn't help us print our tickets for Easy Jet so had to spend 3 hours in town trying to sort that out. Be great if the salt and pepper supplies were filled up in the kitchen - otherwise fab trip!

Very nice!
Stay was great. Everything was as described. The apartment is new and well maintained. There were only two of us so plenty of room and very comfortable. We were off season so we couldn't enjoy the pool or roof top hot tub but these look very nice and would be terrific in the warmer months. The area is very nice and the beach is close. Lots of places to walk and enjoy the views. There is construction in the area which was a little annoying first thing in the morning but most of this should be completed soon. A car is definitely required . Lagos is close by but there is really not much to see or do at this time of year in Lagos. There is however lots to explore in the area. TV would be nice especially at this time of year with the short days a cool evenings. All in all this was a very nice and relaxing place to stay and we would definitely consider staying here again if we return to the area again next year.

Fantastic appartment
Extremely well equipped, very modern appartment. Everything you need to cater for yourself or, just 10mins walk into the bay, 2 great restaurants serving very good food at reasonable prices. Kitchen area great and lounge dining area very spacious. Loved the colourful sofas. Very comfy beds, powerful showers and extremely clean bathrooms with nice soft towels! Very secure building. Didn't use the pool or hot tub but both clean and would be a welcome break from the heat in full summer. Lovely coastal walks and great golf nearby.

Stunning modern large apartment very well equipped with lovely bath and shower rooms. Large terrace
My husband, son and his partner and I had a long weekend break in this stunning apartment which was very clean and well managed. It is extremely well equipped everything you would require. The disappointing part for me was that the hot tub was not in use this was one of the main reasons we booked the apartment and we only found out when we arrived. Also a apartment block is being built directly in front of the apartment which partly blocks the sea view which is a great shame. Saying that we enjoyed our stay and Penny was very helpful. Stunning beach just down the road and a short taxi drive into beautiful Lagos

Thank you for your review and delighted you loved the apartment. So sorry the jacuzzi wasn't filled. They condominium management made the decision to empty it in winter months just days before your arrival and I hadn't been informed. And yes the villa (not apartment block) in front is a bit of a pain but will soon be finished. The view is still there and so delighted you loved the huge balcony. Hope to host you again another time. Penny

Bright and light a luxurious, perfect get away for a relaxing beach side holiday.
Our four night stay was nowhere near enough time to enjoy this beautiful bright and spacious apartment, yet alone all that Lagos has to offer! The apartment has a wonderfully spacious with a crisp, exceptionally clean, modern feel and is equipped with all you should need. The balcony basks in sunshine for almost the entire day. If you're after some late evenings rays, the roof top hot tub is the perfect location. The roof also has a BBQ area if you feel like cooking. The pool area is perfect for a cooling dip or relaxing swim, and again enjoys the sun for the majority of the day. The owner was kind enough to assist us with an early drop off of our luggage which enabled us to enjoy the day in full, which we greatly appreciated. The location is just a few minutes walk from the fantastic Porto de Mos beach that offers a bit of everything. Overlooking the beach are two wonderful beach side restaurants. Antonio's the more popular of the two restaurant is well known for providing excellent food, it's a good idea to pre-book to guarantee a table, the fillet steaks were incredible! Both restaurants offer hot and cold drinks, ice creams and snacks to take away onto the beach. Porto de Mos is a much quieter part of Lagos and seems to be somewhat of a developing and well sought after area. Lagos towns itself has charming old winding streets which are full of shop's bars and restaurants. These are only a short drive away or good walk away from the apartment. The marina has a much more modern look and caters very well for British tourists. There's plenty of coastal tours on offer from the marina, in anything from a kayak to a luxury yacht, as well as fishing trips, jet skiing, etc. Lagos tiny coves and beaches can get very busy, but with a little thought and good timing you can find yourself all alone of a stunning beach. Can't wait to go back, this is somewhere I'd recommend to anyone looking to enjoy a luxury beach side holiday and apartment away from the hustle and bustle of town. Thank you Penny!

Beautiful Apartment in great location
The apartment is very new, well furnished and spotlessly clean. The kitchen is very well equipped and the outside space is very generous. It is in a great location with just a short walk down to the beach and two good restaurants. The slight disappointment is the villa being built in front of the apartment block which does obscure some of the view, but you do still get a good view of the sea.

One week stay from 24th to 31st May 2016
The apartment is absolutely beautiful and exactly as described and photographed. It is finished to a very high standard throughout with some lovely details. It is very well equipped. The views are fantastic and you can hear the waves on the beach all the time as it is so close. It takes just a few minutes to walk down to the beach, which is stunning. During our stay the beach was never too busy and the two beach bars are excellent. I can highly recommend this apartment for a quiet and very relaxing holiday. We had a hire car and played golf at two excellent courses very close by (Boa Vista is just a few minutes drive away). Porto de Mos is an up and coming area but as yet has no facilities except for the two beach bars. The nearest shops and supermarkets are a short drive away in Lagos, but Lagos itself has everything you could need. There is building work going on at the moment in Porto de Mos but it is small scale (individual villas and small apartment blocks are under construction). During the day there was a little bit of noise from the work but it really did not disturb us at all. The area will be improved by the work being done once it is finished. At night all you can hear is the sea - the area is wonderfully quiet. Penny (the owner) was so helpful during our booking process and Andea who did meet and greet at the apartment was also very helpful. All in all a great holiday and we will book this apartment again for a longer stay next year.

In één woord geweldig!
Zoals wij gehoopt hadden dat het appartement zou zijn zo was het ook! What you see is what you get! Een heel ruim, modern, luxe en schoon ingericht appartement.Het ligt heerlijk rustig op loopafstand van de zee via een aantal trapjes en een licht hellende weg. In het appartement was alles wat we nodig hadden aanwezig. Er is een heerlijk ruim balkon en nog een kleiner balkon aan de master bedroom waar je heel lang nog lekker in de zon kunt zitten.Het gemeenschappelijke zwembad vonden wij nog iets te koud nu om in te zwemmen maar is ook heel mooi aangelegd. De jacuzzi op het dakterras van het complex was heerlijk! Onze jongens vonden het geweldig dat er een hele collectie dvd's aanwezig was waar we gebruik van konden maken! Wij houden ervan om nieuwe bestemming te ontdekken en gaan eigenlijk nooit ergens terug, maar hier zouden we zeker nog wel een keer terug willen omdat het gewoon geweldig was! Hartelijk dank familie Dawson dat we gebruik mochten maken van jullie mooie appartement! Andrea bedankt voor alle goede en accurate informatie vooraf en bij de ontvangst. We hebben genoten!

perfect holidays
What a nice holiday accommodation. We found the apartment exactly as it was described, furnished perfect and fashionable decorated. The very personal photos and paintings made let us feeling like guests at good friends. We really loved the breakfast on balcony, enjoying the beautiful views to the ocean. The basement car park was of great advantage at a rainy day. Andrea, the local agent informed about all useful things we may need during our stay. She was of great help on our little mishap on a Sunday afternoon. Just a call and she organized help just in minutes. Many thanks again! We really can recommend this accommodation and will definitely come back if there is a chance. The only item we missed a little bit was a coffee filter machine, but there were alternatives.
