About this property

Casa das Andorinhas, in Lagos centre

Traditional 2-bedroom villa in the centre of Lagos:
Charming 100-Year-Old Townhouse Near Lagos Centre

Stay in a beautifully restored traditional Portuguese townhouse just 350m from Lagos centre. Tucked away in a quiet spot, this character-filled home features original wooden floors, wrought-iron beds, vintage photos, and plenty of natural light. An orange tree outside the lounge window adds a lovely touch of Algarve charm.

Relax on the private ivy-covered patio with traditional calçada flooring. Inside,on the ground floor, you’ll find a quirky (not modern) kitchen, cosy lounge with plasma TV, Portuguese cable
Wi-Fi, a breakfast room, and a bathroom with shower and WC.

Upstairs, a steep narrow staircase leads to two compact bedrooms (one double, one twin), plus a small dressing room and WC.

No air conditioning, but the thick old walls help keep things cooler in summer. No designated parking, though free public parking is usually available nearby (free car park ~ 250m).

Great location

Really nice location, easy to park right next to the house. Shame that beyond toilet paper nothing was provided (no sponges or washing up liquid, no coal for the grill, no salt, etcetc so we had to buy everything new for a one week stay, hoping what we bought remains available to the next guests so they don't have to do the same).

A Vida Portuguesa

We fell head over heels in love with this absolutely quaint and authentic Portuguese villa. Unlike so many vaccination rentals, this one feels like a family home that people love and return to year after year.

House with character in old town

A spacious light older house with a patio in a great location on the edge of the old town. A few details could be improved- the shower head needs fixing, corkscrew was broken and patio furniture needs cleaning. We enjoyed our stay and it was surprisingly peaceful and quiet.

Wirklich sehr charmantes Stadthaus mit Flair, welches wir trotz einiger Kritikpunkte wieder buchen wĂŒrden. Was uns gefallen hat:- zentrale Lage (fußlĂ€ufig zu Altstadt und Busbahnhof)- der private Innenhof (ein wirkliches Highlight und gut zu nutzen, da zum FrĂŒhstĂŒck und Abendessen natĂŒrlicher Schatten vorhanden). - Das Haus selber ist sehr stilvoll und geschmackvoll gestaltet. Wirklich origniell!- Check-in reibungslos mit Key-box, Agenturmitarbeiter freundlich Kritikpunkte:- KĂŒchenausstattung etwas mager und teilweise in keinem guten Zustand, SpĂŒlmaschine zwar vorhanden, aber bei 4 Personen nicht genug Geschirr fĂŒr einen sinvollen Betrieb- Sauberkeit allgemein ok, aber das Geschirr im Schrank war schmierig bei Ankunft und unter dem Bastteppich im Wohnzimmer sehr viel Sand.- fĂŒr die StĂŒhle im Innenhof gibt es keine Sitzkissen und fĂŒr den Tisch im Hof nur die Platzsets, die leider auch etwas unappetitlich waren- das Haus wird von einer Agentur betreut, die ein eigenes Bezahlsystem hat, dessen Bedienung etwas holprig war- Ausser 2 Kleiderstangen gibt es kaum Stauraum fĂŒrs GepĂ€ck. Hinzu kam, dass in einer Ecke noch ein Stapel mit 4 Bettdecken fĂŒr kĂ€ltere Tage lagen, die man weder benutzen noch verstauen konnte. Fazit: Wir können die Unterkunft trotz dieser Kritikpunkte weiterempfehlen, fanden das Preis-LeistungsverhĂ€ltnis jedoch nicht ganz angemessen. In puncto Zustand der Ausstattung und Gepflegtheit des Hauses hĂ€tten wir fĂŒr diesen Mietpreis mehr erwartet.

Un beau séjour mais 



 l’arrivĂ©e a Ă©tĂ© un peu compliquĂ©e, malgrĂ© les mails envoyĂ©s par l’hĂŽte avant la date, le jour J impossible de le joindre par tĂ©lĂ©phone, mails, sms ou via la page Vbro, afin de rĂ©cupĂ©rer les clĂ©s, une heure de discussion avec le chat en ligne pour enfin rĂ©cupĂ©rer le code de la boĂźte Ă  clĂ©s. Point d’amĂ©lioration: laisser un minimum: sel, poivre, huile, vinaigre, Ă©ponge, produits pour les lave vaisselle et machine Ă  laver. Tout acheter pour quelques jours Ă  chaque fois que l’on change de logement c’est vraiment pĂ©nible.

comfort limité

La maison est mignonne et bien situĂ©e dans le centre de Lagos. La plage et la plupart des activitĂ©s sont accessibles Ă  pied. Par contre elle manque sĂ©rieusement d'Ă©quipements. Il me parait indispensable d'ajouter des ventilateurs dans les chambres pour l'Ă©tĂ© (nous y Ă©tions en plein mois d'aoĂ»t). La maison est trĂšs mal isolĂ©e et engrange facilement la chaleur et l'air y circule mal, ce qui rend les nuits Ă©touffantes. Un peu plus de vaisselle serait Ă©galement apprĂ©ciĂ© car la quantitĂ© limitĂ©e force Ă  lancer le lave vaisselle Ă  chaque repas. À noter qu'aucun produit de base ne vous sera fourni (savon, sel, huile...). La maison n'est pas non plus adaptĂ©e aux personnes grandes : mon mari de 1,83m se cognait constamment dans les portes et les lits sont petits. La salle de bain ne se vĂ©rrouille pas, le ballon d'eau chaude est d'une taille trop juste, la grille du BBQ est rouillĂ©e, bref beaucoup de petits dĂ©tails Ă©nervants. Cette location me parait trop chĂšre pour la prestation proposĂ©e.

Lagos und Algarve im November

Das kleine portugiesische Stadthaus ist fĂŒr selbstversorgende Individualreisende genau richtig. Am Rande der historischen Altstadt gelegen, ist alles fußlĂ€ufig gut erreichbar: SupermĂ€rkte (z.B. Pingo Doce und Lidl), Restaurants (z.B. The Green Room um die Ecke), die Marina, die StrĂ€nde, der Bahnhof (ein Ausflug mit der Algarve-Line lohnt sich auf jeden Fall) und natĂŒrlich die Altstadt. Im Haus ist so ziemlich alles vorhanden, was man braucht: Herd, Backofen, SpĂŒlmaschine, Waschmaschine, alles da. Eine Kaffeemaschine hĂ€tten wir uns noch gewĂŒnscht. Aber es gab ein Bialetti fĂŒr Espresso. Auch Töpfe, Pfannen und Geschirr sind vorhanden, sodass man sich ein leckeres Essen mit frischen Zutaten vom Mercado Municipal zubereiten kann. An der Marina gibt es fangfrische MeeresfrĂŒchte, absolut empfehlenswert. Der Innenhof ist ein schöner Aufenthaltsort, aber leider etwas vernachlĂ€ssigt, was die Pflanzen und die Sauberkeit betrifft. Zu beachten ist, dass das HĂ€uschen keine Heizung hat, außer einem kleinen Elektro-Radiator. Es wird also im Winter in den Abend- und Morgenstunden schon etwas frisch. Aber das wurde ja in anderen Rezensionen bereits erwĂ€hnt. Leider wird es dadurch dann auch etwas feucht, was der Bausubstanz auch etwas schadet und was man durchaus auch riechen kann. Alles in allem haben wir zwei schöne Wochen in Lagos verbracht und uns gut erholt.

viaje en familia

Lo primero que quiero destacar es que la casa es como la de mi abuela (vintage) pero eso no quita que este limpia y no con telas de arañas, horno sucios y faltaba un buen barrido por toda la casa. Lo segundo es un buen mantenimiento y no que algunos puertas no cerraban, parquet roto y con carcoma, silla jardín rota y falta de pintura (se nota que es una empresa que lo gestiona). Lo tercero para comunicarnos era con Jao a través de llamada o SMS (con coste ya que era imposible por Watchapp). Lo unico bueno era la ubicación aunque muy dificil de aparcar en esa calle ya que las otras era de pago.

GemĂŒtliche, urige Einrichtungen

Zusammenfassend hat das Appartement den beschriebenen Anforderungen entsprochen. Leider ist die Dusche so undicht, dass nach jedem Duschen das Bad unter Wasser stand. Der Ablauf im oberen Bad war auch undicht und das Wasser lief raus. Bei so vielen Schwachstellen ist es kein Wunder, dass sich Schimmel bildet und es muffig riecht. Das hat unseren Urlaub allerdings nicht eingeschrĂ€nkt. Wir haben es mit Humor genommen und nach jedem Duschen dem Wischmob eingesetzt bzw eine SalatschĂŒssel unter das Waschbecken gestellt. So einige Reparaturen wĂ€ren fĂŒr die Zukunft aber angebracht.

Beautiful house in great location

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa das Andorinhas, the house is delightful, loved the decor throughout and it had everything we needed. Felt like we were locals! It is also in a great location, near to the marina, old town and the beautiful beaches. You can walk to all of the amenities. We didn’t have a car but caught the bus to Porto de Mos and Sagres which were both really nice days out. The train station is also very near and we got the train back to Faro for our flight. A taxi is needed at the other end to the airport. Only negative was the hot nights and quite a lot of noise at nights but that wouldn’t stop me staying here again, loved it!

"Uma casa portugesa" (Amalia Rodrigues)

Det var första gÄngen för oss att anvÀnda Vrbo men femte gÄngen vi var i Algarve. Lagos kÀnns som hemma och sÄ gjorde Àven huset. Vi saknade ingenting förutom kaffebryggare nÀr vi fick gÀster. Den lilla mockakannan gör bara tvÄ koppar. Att hÄlla vÀrmen nere fungerar faktiskt med att stÀnga dom tjocka fönsterluckorna. Vi klarade oss utan AC och flÀktar pÄ det viset. MiljövÀnligt! Vi bodde hÀr i fyra veckor och fick nya lakan och handdukar en gÄng i veckan. LÀget Àr perfekt och det Àr nÀra till centrum, bussar, tÄg och en stor gratis parkeringsplats. SÀngarna Àr hÄrda och gatorna Àr som berg-och-dalbanor men det hör Portugal till!
