About this property

Borboleta apartment - sleeps up to 4

This 1 bed and 1 bath apartment is on the top floor of a lovely old manor house (please note there is no lift). It is beautifully furnished and very well equipped with everything we hope you would need to enjoy the perfect summer or winter holiday or short weekend break.

The air conditioning unit provides heat for the chillier winter evenings. A large sofa bed in the sitting room and third bed which is above the cupboard in the bedroom (accessed via a ladder) enables the apartment to sleep up to 4.

There are private terraces to the front and rear of the apartment (one accessed from the bedroom and the other from the sitting room), both of which are ideal for relaxing with a good book and glass of wine.

The apartment was in a great central location, walking distance to so many great restaurants, bars and shops. There was lots of space in the apartment and having the two balconies was great. Everything was clean and we had all that we needed for our stay.

The forty steps up were a challenge with heavy luggage but after a couple of days you adapted and barely heavy puffed at all. The central location worked out well. Bed was comfy and bathroom was well appointed. Two balconies meant you always had a choice of sun or shade. A convenience store just across the road and a full fledged supermarket within walking distance. I don’t know what it'd be like in high season but fringe season, it worked well.

The apartment was lovely. It was stocked with the little things you don't really want to have to buy such as, oil, salt & pepper, some herbs etc. We loved having the two terraces. Overall great apartment.

Very nice appartment with individual details, clean and with full equipment, recommended for three people, the forth needs to sleep in the living room. Located in the middle of the old town near three bars/ night clubs, so at night there is some noise outside. We enjoyed our stay very much, could reach the beaches and activities by walking! Parking was about 10min away for free and no problem to geht free space.

Great apartment.

Excellent apartment but it is in a noisy street. At night time lots of young people gather at bars on the street with constant noise till 3am. It's unfortunate that bars on the street have attracted such a young clientele.

Hello Elizabeth - Thank you so much for your 4-star review. We're delighted the apartment proved excellent for you, but we're sorry to hear you found the area noisy. August is, of course, the height of the holiday season in Portugal and the busiest month of the year to visit. Lagos offers lots of bars and restaurants and, as you have witnessed, can get lively. Its lovely beach and water sports draw visitors too. We're so sorry you were disturbed.

Great Location in Lagos

Close to everything you will want to walk about and see in Lagos. This apartment has both a front and back terrace making it bright and open feeling. Well equipped kitchen. A full tub in the bathroom. It is up two long flights of stairs, so not so good if that is an issue for you. Washing machine was an asset once we found it, lol. Located outside in a cupboard on the back terrace. Felt very safe in Lagos.

Un appartement très propre lumineux et bien climatisé.Nous avons apprécié toute les attentions des hôtes et le fait que l'appartement était bien équipé. La terrasse à l'avant est particulièrement intéressante en fin de journée. Elle est vaste nous permettant de souper en fin de journée.

Im Herzen Lagos

Die Wohnung liegt ideal, die Strände sind gut zu Fuss erreichbar, so auch die Altstadt mit den Restaurants. Die Wohnung hat Charme und lässt sich gut lüften und ist angenehm, auch wenn sie unter dem Dach liegt. Die Umgebung ist laut, aber das wussten wir vorher.

Thanks so much for your lovely review of our 'charming' apartment which, as you say, is in the heart of beautiful Lagos. Its location means everything is close at hand - the old town, bars, restaurants and the beach. Inevitably, at the height of the holiday season it can be a little noisy. This is is not the case at quieter times of year, of course. Nevertheless, you were aware of this and had a great time! We're delighted about that and very much hope to welcome you again!
