Wonderfully relaxing break
Having recently had a heart attack, our holiday dynamics changed dramatically as it became more about rest and relaxation for me. This was just the perfect spot, at the far end of Meia Praia beach, lovely and quiet (apart from the neighbours dogs) with great views of the sea and Lagos town. Jenny and the management company were fantastic, we had a couple of minor issues that were sorted immediately. The pool was fantastic, the family spent lots of time in there, and we even had a few games of table tennis. Ultimately, the best compliment I can pay is that we'd love to come back as soon as we can

Nice but with upgrades it would be fantastic
We all loved the location, view, veranda and the pool. That being said we all agreed that the mattresses need to be replaced with new ones, along with the dining room chairs which were falling apart. We needed to use the pillows from the couches to sitting in the chairs. We were constantly putting the nobles back on the chairs and some of the spindle off the back of chairs. We also had to have some of the locks replace due to not functioning properly. We reported that one of bathroom light need to be replace but after our three weeks stay it still was not done. One of our group members had a large amount of money stolen. We had secured the front gate and we were all at the pool. The day in question day there were two different pool cleaners and the housekeeping service at the villa so we cannot say when or who took the funds. We reported the incident to the manager, but basically received lip service. We found the owner to be a lovely lady who help us though every step of your booking and check-in. However, the villa management team needs to have a more hands on attitude to ensure the villa is maintained to a high standard. We highly recommended the upgrades be completed soonest and that the maintenance is done on a regular basis rather than only as required. Would we stay there again, yes, if things get replaced with new ones and the maintenance if done on a regular basis.

Family stay 8th - 22nd April 23
As many have already said the Villa is in great location with excellent views and all the amenities you would want. Nice to have English TV, limited channels but enough. The Villa is Ideal for an extended family, with lots of open space and very homely. Overall we enjoyed our stay but it didn't go without a couple of issues and as this is an honest report it's only fair to comment on these. We arrived and couldn't get access at the correct time as the cleaner was still working. We had to kill a couple of hours. Not the owners fault just the previous occupants being inconsiderate and not leaving on time. I went up to the pool and noticed quite a lot of surface debris. I'm no expert but I put this down to the water lever being too low. The pumps were working but the two openings at the other end which take away the water for filtering and recycling were a couple of inches above the water line so the floating debris had no where to go. The pool man came on Wed, five days after we had arrived, and had to leave a hose topping up the pool for about six hours. OK so that was the pool sorted, on Tues we had a toilet block up. We contacted that agent who sent a drain man he said the septic tank was full and the agent would need to contact the council to empty it. Until that was done, a total of 4 days, our entire family was advised just to use the very small en-suit off one of the bedrooms. That's 6 adults and 1 child. Anyone needing the toilet at night had to come through our bedroom, not great. After the tank was emptied it was still blocked and the drain man had to come back. I do feel that a thing like a septic tank should be serviced on a regular basis to avoid the issue of this inconvenience happening when paying guests are there. Having had these issues the question is would we go to this Villa again, probably.

Great location
The house has a perfect location for access to the beach and walking in the neighborhood. We were there with a dog and it was perfect with her. Also the garden is very nice for the dog (it is fully fenced). The house itself has anything you need. The furniture and facilities are a bit outdated, bathrooms are standard of many decades ago (e.g. separate outlets for warm and cold water) and could need some renovation, but it’s ok. The house has no central heating and no A/C and the isolation is not very good. The only heating options are electric heaters and a fireplace (which is cosy). We were there in January so it was quite cold in the house. It needed „heating management“, especially as the old electricity lines do not tolerate more than two heaters running at the same time. But we managed it quite well so the temperature in the house was ok then. The cleaning worked very well. The communication with the owner was also very good and she was very friendly and helpful. The absolute best thing about the house is the view, which is priceless. You have it from almost everywhere in the house. If you accept that the interior standards are a bit outdated, I can fully recommend this house.

Thank you so much for your review. Your comments are spot on.........we treat this as a family holiday house, rather than a luxury villa - and our prices reflect this. It is in the most fantastic spot and almost everyone who comes, asks to come back. Thank you.

The perfect beach house
The house is wonderful, light and airy with views across the bay to Lagos and to the sea. The 3 bedrooms facing the sea allow you to drift off to the sound of waves lapping the shore. The living room has the most amazing views to the coast through three large windows and gives access to the terrace that runs right around the house. There are so many parts of the house that you can sit and enjoy the location, not least the large pool area above the house. Something else we loved was how many different kinds of birds are living in the trees just outside the house and happy to come and take any crumbs you’ll offer them. Overall an amazing house in a wonderful location, fully equipped for a very relaxing holiday. It was a pleasure to deal with everyone connected to managing the house, particularly the warm reception we got from housekeeper, Mina. Suitable for a couple or larger group.

Charming villa with beautiful views
Villa is nicely laid out with plenty of space for our party of four adults and three children. The pool area is lovely and set above the house with wonderful sea views. Ample terraces surrounding the property so it is always possible to find somewhere either in or out of the sun. We stayed in February, so not much open nearby; but we expected this. In season there are restaurants and beach bars within a short walk. Beautiful long and sandy beach just a few minutes walk from the villa. Overall we had a wonderful stay and will definitely return. Plenty of help and advice from the owners and their agent both before and during our short stay. Heartily recommended.

The villa has a really homely feel. We were surprised to receive a lovely welcome pack with wine, soft drinks, nibbles, etc. The villa was very clean and comfortable - the log burner kept us warm in the evenings. It was a great place to stay - easy to walk down to the beach restaurants for fabulous fish and vinho verde....and 45 minutes to walk along the beach to the Marina. We will certainly go again!

Familienurlaub
Check-in hat sehr gut funktioniert. Die Lage des Hauses ist wunderschön. Man hat von der Terrasse und vom Pool aus eine tolle Aussicht auf das Meer. Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Teilweise sind die Räumlichkeiten durch die Anordnung der Möbel etwas beengt, so dass man nicht alle Fenster oder Schränke ganz öffnen kann. Das finde ich etwas schade, aber es hat der Erholung keinen Abbruch getan. Wir haben uns alle (6 Erwachsene) sehr wohl gefühlt und den Urlaub sehr genossen. Es empfiehlt sich, etwas gegen Mücken und Ameisen dabei zu haben.

Christmas in Odiaxere
We had a wonderful time with our children and grandchildren in the beautiful villa at Christmas. With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms there was sufficient space for everybody. The large living room could easily be heated by the fireplace. The grandchildren loved the pingpong table. The views from the living room, bed rooms and veranda are magnificent. There was always a place around the house or swimming pool to enjoy the sun. A long beautiful beach is at 5 minutes walking distance and Lagos 5 minutes by car.

Super fijne plek voor een heerlijke vakantie
Mooie villa, de locatie is echt perfect, 5 min lopen naar fantastisch strand. Het zwembad is groot en schoon, zoveel ruimte om het huis, altijd wel ergens zon (of schaduw, maar wij waren in februari dus gingen voor zon). Van alle gemakken voorzien. Misschien wat verouderde onderdelen (met name de bank binnen, maar die wordt vervangen begrepen wij), maar de plek en de sfeer van de villa maken alles goed. Echt fantastische service van de villa management en goed contact met de eigenaar. Al met al willen wij heel graag nog eens terugkomen!

Tolle Location
Beim vierten Mal in Lagos hat es uns an den Rand von Maia Praia in dieses Haus verschlagen. Während überall sonst heftig Trubel herrscht, kann man hier in Ruhe einen tollen Urlaub verbringen. Super Blick auf die Küste und Lagos, Strand zu Fuß erreichbar, privater Pool, immer ein Fleckchen auf der Terrasse, an dem wahlweise Schatten oder Sonne ist und kein oder mehr Wind herrscht. Lokale und ein kleiner Laden sind ebenfalls zu Fuß erreichbar. Wer will, kann mit der fußlüfig erreichbaren Bahn nach Portimao oder Lagos fahren, ansonsten erweitert ein Auto den Erlebnisbereich fantastisch, da es an der Westküste (irre Surferstrände) und auch die ganze Südküste entlang Traumstrände gibt. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder. Das Haus ist mit allem Erforderlichen eingerichtet!! Nur Mina bringt keine Fichte (siehe Werbetext), aber dafür frische Wäsche und ein geputztes Haus :-).
