🌟 I believe this apartment is perfect for your family! 🙂

Here is a summary of what you can enjoy:

► 🏰 Lagos is a small town, so everything is very close.
The historic centre of Lagos is less than 5 minutes’ walk.

► 🏖 Nearby beaches: around 10 minutes’ walk
A short walk to the famous Meia Praia beach, a large golden sandy beach stretching about 5 km, and the beautiful Praia da Batata beach with lovely rocks and sand.

► ⛵️ Lagos Marina
Located across the small river, less than 5 minutes’ walk towards Meia Praia beach.
Many boat trips (to Ponta da Piedade or dolphin watching) and kayaking adventures depart from Lagos Marina or Praia da Batata.

► 🍽️🍰 Restaurants, Traditional Markets, Regional Sweets and Artisan Gelato
· Next to the apartment, on the main avenue by the river, at the marina and on the way to the historic centre, there are several restaurants serving typical Algarvian and Portuguese cuisine.
· Right next to the apartment, there is a large traditional Portuguese restaurant, pizzerias, a takeaway with Portuguese food, and several cafés. Nearby, there is also a good fresh seafood restaurant.
· On your short walk to the old town, you will also find the traditional Lagos Market with fresh fish and fruit.
· Just 3 minutes on foot, on two days of the week, there are two Markets of Traditional Products from regional producers, next to the Bus Terminal.

► 🍰🍦 Regional Sweets & Artisan Gelato
You can also visit my family’s bakery “Taquelim Gonçalves” in downtown Lagos, with delicious traditional Algarve cakes (since 1935) and artisan ice creams (since 1964) in the historic centre. It was founded by my grandparents in 1935. They started making the famous Dom Rodrigo cake, now the most famous sweet in the Algarve. 😋

► 🛒 Supermarkets
One supermarket 6 minutes’ walk (550 metres), plus mini-markets (2 min. walk) and portuguese takeaway food shop nearby. You can buy fresh bread and Portuguese food for home. Very convenient!

► 🚗🚌🚴🏻‍♂️
You can enjoy other beautiful and famous beaches and the stunning views of the beautiful Ponta da Piedade, 10 minutes by car, local bus, or tourist train along the main avenue by the river, or by bike or scooter. Electric or traditional bikes can be rented right next to the apartment.

► ✈️ Faro Airport: less than 60 minutes by car
► 🚙🚗 Private Transfer / Car Rental: I can arrange either for you
► 🚍 Bus Station: less than 4 minutes’ walk
► 🚂 Train Station: less than 8 minutes’ walk


🌟 Welcome to your family apartment in the historic and bright city of Lagos! 🙂

We so enjoyed this apartment! It was very comfortable, bright, well equipped for a couple or a family, clean, safe, had a lovely large balcony for morning coffee or a glass of wine, and it felt like a home. It was larger than expected with a living room, dining room, and large kitchen. Pedro provided coffee and laundry soap, which we don't usually see. It was perfectly located just outside the old town away from the crowds and noise, but only a 5 minute walk. On a main road with easy access to the highway in/out of town for those with cars. Pedro was a wonderful host, checking in with us during our stay, and providing a lot of instructions both digitally and in writing just inside the door to the apartment for easy access. Check-in was easy, we were met at the apartment and walked through all details. This apartment was recommended to us and we are so glad it was available. It was the perfect choice for us. We highly recommend. Thank you again Pedro.

Excellent stay very convenient to everything

What an amazing stay. Owners were very responsive, apartment has everything you need. Owners took time to explain all of the surrounding areas and even provided some goodies from their family owned bakery. Also midway suggested some restaurants they frequent. Could not have had a better experience. Apartment is spacious, clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Thank you for an amazing experience for me and my family

Fantastisch!!!!

Maria Louisa en Pedro zijn hele fijne, betrokken verhuurders. Ze geven bruikbare informatie over Lagos en wat te bezoeken in de omgeving. Het appartement is comfortabel, ruim, schoon en gelegen op een prima locatie. Wij hebben het erg goed naar onze zin gehad en sluiten zeker niet uit om nog een keer terug te gaan. Ruud & Sjan

Great stay

The location was good. The beds were the most comfortable we had encountered on our Portugal trip. The air conditioning was an added bonus
