We had a great time with friends and four teenagers at the house. It’s a nice walk into Lagos along the boardwalk and Meia Praia is a lovely beach. The house has everything you could need for 8 and the pool and table tennis kept everyone occupied. Thanks for a lovely week
Perfect location, easy walk to the beach, great beach bars close by, fantastic board walk all the way to Lagos, also a local train.
Good for family stay as plenty for everyone to do together or independently.
We had a great time at this place. Short walk to the beach, close to grocery store and restaurants. It is dated but for us that did not matter. Management team is great and prompt. We loved it and will be back
Had a long stay here and loved the place.
Easy to get too and has everything you could need for a relaxing stay.
The villa has a beautiful veranda and the pool stunning views of the beach towards Lagos town. Is not new but has characteriser and shall certainly be back.

14 days in a dirty, windy noisy villa
At first, the contact with Jenny was great, and to our surprise the fotos did not represent the reality, to our luck the bed was better, but still IKEA. The house is more than 30y old, some things have been renewed, but we could not use the cooker and a kettle!!! so to make breakfast, hot water, coffee and toast and eggs.. no way... This was a disappointment.. do you want me to go on?? everywere insects and dirt.. Not that is the host fault, it was so cold, we could not get the humidity out and feel comfortable. We did not use the open fire, because we did not trust the chimney. Parking our big car was also a great hazzle... The chairs outside, plastic not comfortable, but in our case it was too windy and did not use the pool either.. A really disaster.. so we spent most of our time not in the house, only to sleep there... The price was acceptable, at first sight, but now, we could have done better in going elswhere. It was 800m walking to the beach, a boaring spot.. but it was a beach.. What was positive.. they accepted our dogs, which are very pickky and did not like the house...The cleaner, came but we had already change the bedlinen, so she was waiting to get a pick up and did a washing at 55mins .. than she left. To get this house up to date and clean..goof luck. Change all the windows and doors, the tiles, the bathrooms, the kitchen and the poolsite.. This could be a dreamhouse, the location is fine...
After one week in this villa, all i have to say are good things. All the great comments are well deserved. Realy nice house for the perfect holidays. 5 stars.
Nothing bad to report.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Es war ein wundervoller Urlaub für uns als ganze Familie. Die Lage ist ideal für tolle Ausflüge, Strandbesuche, und ganz in der Nähe sind auch sehr leckere Restaurants, die zum Essen einladen. Der Pool und die Aussicht auf s Meer ist traumhaft schön. Wir kommen wieder.

Shabby and needs love care and attention
Beautiful location and amazing views but this villa needs a lot of TLC and a thorough clean.
Das Haus und die Einrichtung ist ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen. Aber die Größe des Hauses mit dem Pool und die Lage machen das Haus absolut empfehlenswert.
Die Unterkunft war alles in allem sehr schön. Es sind vier sehr schöne Schlafzimmer mit einem sehr gemütlichen Wohnzimmer inkl. Kamin. Wir haben den Aufenthalt in Lagos sehr genossen.
Ich kann die Unterkunft wärmstens weiterempfehlen.
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.
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
Our villa is owned by the family, and I help manage the bookings.
Why they chose this property
Our villa was built by my mother-in-law 60 years ago and was one of the first properties to be built on Meia Praia. She had the foresight to build the villa in walking distance from the wonderful beach, enjoying views of the sea and Lagos. Fortunately this area still remains unspoilt, is wonderfully quiet, but it is easy to get to the local historical town of Lagos, and the new Marina by car, train, bus or a 40 minute walk. However there are several restaurants within easy walking distance
What makes this property unique
There are very few places with such magnificent peace and quiet, views, private pool which is not over-looked. The design of the villa allows you to sit in the sun or shade outside at any time of the day. Our guests always say that the position is 'perfect'!
