Great Location
Loved everything about this property. Ideally located just outside the walls of the old town, it is minutes away from the many cafes, restaurants, bars and shops in the picturesque area. The apartment is on the upper floor of a building on a cul de sac. It is large, bright and tastefully decorated with every modern amenity, including excellent wifi and tv with many English channels. The deck is roomy and features a sun room and offers a spectacular view of the old town and the bay. The pool area is quite large with dedicated deck chairs for sunning and there is also a rooftop deck with a stunning view. Our hostess, Claire, was very helpful and went out of her way to ensure that we had a nice stay. The photos truly do not do justice to the apartment. We hope to stay again when we return to Lagos.

February 2023 in Lagos Stay Review
What was great: The place is lovely with an amazing high up view of the city and beach with lots of windows and light. The furnishing are nicely done and the place is spacious. We were just above the Old Town of Lagos so it was easy to visit all the restaurants and stores and see the downtown historical locations and the promenade. The kitchen was large with pretty much everything you need for cooking, and we used the washing machine a couple times although the cycle was short (otherwise takes hours in Portugeses machines!!!) No dryer but we were able to hang out our clothes outside on sunny days. Claire greeted us upon arrival, explained everything, and there is a great book where all your questions could be answered. Halfway through the 3 weeks the linens and towels etc. were replace and the condo was cleaned. Lovely cleaning lady! Lovely pool but too cold for our stay but would be great in the summer. Lots of hot water, but not drinkable. You need to use bottled water for drinking, tea and coffee. Pretty typical in Portugal. A couple of issues however. We had chosen the place for the central heating as we knew Feb would be quite cool, and we were told not to use it when we arrived. There were two small space heaters in the two bedrooms, and a heat pump in the lounge but the bathrooms, kitchen and halls were very cold all the time, and even the bedrooms got quite cool despite the heaters. I know electricity and gas are very expensive this year in the EU so I understand the concerns about cost but it was disappointing. And we felt cold most of the time. Some suggestions for improvement: the beds are HARD!! Like a board. We put blankets on top to soften them a bit but it was hard for sleeping. Easily solved with mattress toppers in foam or plush. Also the large bathroom has a bath/shower combination with a deep tub and a glass separator near the faucet and it was too difficult to get into and out of as there was no railing along the wall to hold on to. Probably should be added as you don't want anyone slipping and falling in the tub/shower. As a result we only used the tiny shower in the smaller bedroom. And with all the walking up and down hills I missed having a nice hot bath. Do note that it is a 15-20 minute walk to the beach down steepish hills through the Old town on cobblestones (so we drove several times and there is lots of parking). This rental will be perfect in the summer!

Excellent experience
The flat was large, clean and bright, with a postcard view. All the amenities that we needed were provided. The location is ideal for visiting the historic district, and we had no difficulty finding parking right in front of the building.

About the host

Hosted by Claire Schillaci

Host profile image
Lou and Claire moved to the Algarve from Australia and have enjoyed making a new home in Lagos in the Western Algarve.

"It's a large enough town to be busy and have every imaginable facility and yet it is a walkable, relaxed town with lovely old streets, beautiful beaches and a year round holiday spirit. We love it!"

Lou and Claire, and their Australian cattle dog, Lilli, love to share the Lagos experience with visitors who all comment on the beautiful views from the apartment.

"We enjoy a walk around the old town in the morning and a quiet cup of coffee in one of the many cafes. If we get the chance we walk to the beach during the day. In the evenings there is an endless choice of bars, shops and restaurants to while away the evening."

Lou and Claire warmly welcome you to Lagos.

Why they chose this property

We were lucky enough to find our Views of Lagos apartment two years ago and happily rented it until having the recent good fortune to purchase it.

It is a very spacious top floor apartment. Of course the views are what draw you in immediately as they span a 180 degree vista, from the mountain of Monchique, across Meia Praia beach and the Bay of Lagos, right across the old town to the ancient city wall.

The loungeroom and balcony have prime views but the nice thing is that every room has a view of something - old town, new town and the old wall.

Being just outside the city wall, the old town is on the doorstep, which makes for great walks and easy shopping and dining. It’s also lovely that the beaches you can see from the apartment are walking distance.

What makes this property unique

It is rare to have the combination of views and location. Everything you see you can walk to. Within 30 seconds you are through the wall and in the old town with its cobbled streets and fisherman's cottages.

Even the locals agree that Lagos is authentically Portuguese so you can enjoy meandering around the old town, and still find great places to eat, live music and interesting shops.

Behind the apartment is the local neighbourhood where you will see how the locals live - how they shop and the bars and cafes they frequent. The local fish and fruit and veggie market is here. It’s a real slice of life experience.

At Views of Lagos you are central to absolutely everything . You can just relax around the pool or on the balcony, or take in many interesting local sights.
