Meia Praia holiday rentals

Property was true to listing and was situated right across the road from an amazing sandy beach and only a short drive into town or a nice walk if preferred.Property itself had multiple zones to relax including upstairs and downstairs outdoor dining and lounging areas. Electric blinds, fans and airconditioning in all rooms together with outside awnings and pool umbrellas made the property comfortable to use in warmer weather. The property was also very secure, with locking gates at front and back of property. We had an amazing week here. Property Manager was very helpful and very easy to deal with.

We travelled to Portugal to celebrate my husband’s 50th and rented the villa for our closets friends and some family members too. We had two small children and 12 adults who flew in from various places around the world. Lagos is one of the best places in the Algarve with so much choice for food and beautiful beaches to explore. The villa is absolutely breathtaking and the photos on the website are fabulous, but cannot really do it justice. The ocean views, the impeccable garden, the large living spaces and main bedrooms each with private bathrooms were exceptional. We hired the small cottage due to our group size which is attached the house and despite it being at the back of the house and somewhat smaller, the rooms were clean and its position meant the kids could sleep early without being woken up by gatherings in the living spaces. The villa’s outdoor facilities are well maintained with a beautiful slightly heated pool, tennis court, small pool table and table tennis table and there are well placed garden tables and chairs throughout the grounds, which offer gorgeous views for morning coffees or late afternoon drinks (but prepare for the mosquitos at dusk). We were offered contacts for a wonderful local chef who prepared a special 50th dinner for my husband and the food and service was impeccable. We also called on a recommended babysitter who was excellent and the villa has cleaning staff who help to maintain the morning bedroom service most days. There is not enough cleaning provisions for a week (particularly the kitchen) so you really need to buy everything from bin bags to dishwashing tablets etc (a few are provided to get you started) and there was only a small amount of hand soap but no shampoo/conditioner so remember to pack these. The villa had loads of books and games which we made great use of and there is plenty of crockery for entertaining and meals and also plastics for the bar area near the pool. We found the checkin and instructions clear and the villa was a short taxi drive to town, but we often walked in (about 20 minutes) when it wasn’t too hot. Angela is a fantastic host and she obviously values the quality and maintenance of the villa. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to catch up with our friends and family post-covid and celebrate my husband’s milestone birthday. You won’t be disappointed!!
