    Not much we did not like.. There were tiny ants there but not any fault of owners.0

    It was a lovely apartment with everything we needed to enjoy our time there.. We needed more of a layed back week as we had been going full force and this was the perfect place. We sat by pool which was lovely, ate meals on a terrace outside our apartment and enjoyed the lovely gardens. Luis our host was very friendly and helpful. The place was exceptionally clean. It was a wonderful week.

    The beds were uncomfortable. Too hard and the double was only a double. In the heat much nicer to have a bigger master bed and generally softer all around. The smell from drains was not pleasant, but it was everywhere in Portugal.

    Loved that there were not so many people due to smaller numbers of units. Made for a more personal experience. Did not feel crowded and sharing facilities was done with respect and enjoyable.

    Lovely place to stay. Good sized apartment for the 2 of us. Everything we could have needed was supplied. Nice small pool as well. Would return again and this isn't the usual type of place we would stay.

    Bed was a bit hard for my liking. You have to open the doors to get fresh air (no windows to open), but had big ceiling fans to move it around. Although the kitchen had all the appliances and tools to use, no cleaning essentials (soap, sponge) are included and no cooking basics like salt, pepper oil or even paper towels.

    Very clean and neat property. Pool was great (just right temp), parking in front of unit. 5 minutes from Lagos. Manager was very helpful. Villa was quite large, plenty of room. The nicest yet cheapest place we stayed at out of the 5 properties we rented in Portugal.

    As already mentioned by others, the beds and sofas were quite uncomfortable. The kitchen equipment was very basic.

    Our host Luis was very nice and easy to talk to, very quick at responding when we asked for additional kitchen items. The saltwater pool was very good (we used it a lot) and the area cozy on a hill where we had a comfortable light breeze in the afternoons. Everything in Lagos was easy to reach by car, mostly within 5 minutes.

    The local taxi service. We had gone for a wedding and the local taxi's let us down. They wouldn't let us reserve a taxi and then after numerous calls were 45 minutes late.thank God for Ubers who got us back.

    It was based in a good location to get to lots of different places, especially if you had transport. We walked and got to see a lot of the countryside and its wildlife but wished we had hired a car as we could have seen more.

    My bed was very hard The location is close to Lagos, but unfortunately there is nothing around, that one can explore on foot, like a park or a beach or a promenade with shops/restaurants. Everything is in Lagos. So you are 'stuck' in the hotel so to speak - which is not necessarily a bad thing, especially if you have a car.

    A very nice place close to Lagos, ideal for families. Very quiet surroundings, swimming pool for the little ones to play, lots of space in the apartments. One can reach Lagos in 10 minutes (by car).

    The only drawback were the mosquitoes. We had to keep the windows open for the airflow and temperature. There were no screens and the mosquitoes let themselves in.

    The property was a really good size and well-equipped. The grounds were beautiful. We ate breakfast and dinner on our porch. With the windows open, there was good ventilation. An easy drive to anywhere we wanted to go in the Algarve.

    A place to stay and in a good location for discoveries.

    The problem with ventilation has been mentioned several times. The doors only slide open and cannot be tilted, which is unpleasant at night when you can't see who is walking by. We had a flat on the ground floor; it is certainly more pleasant to leave the doors open on the upper floors. There are fans inside, but they only circulate the air and create a breeze, not fresh cool air. The bathroom window was therefore the only source of air at night.

    The location is great if you are flexible with the car and don't want to visit just one beach or place but several. From here you can quickly get to Lagos or Sagres. Although close to the main road, it is nice and quiet. It is also perfect to relax there for a day and not drive anywhere. The pool is lovely for a refreshing dip and otherwise it was very pleasant and the flats spacious to relax in. The host is very nice and helpful. The furniture is old-fashioned but all in good condition. The mattresses are wonderful to sleep on and the kitchen is minimal but adequately equipped.

    The place was beautiful and most importantly quiet. After many months of heavy remote work I wished for peace and quiet and I got it. I had a lovely and cozy apartment and the pool was very nice too. And so was the very well-cared garden and stones decorations around the garden which I have enjoyed looking at when reading outside - very relaxing. The owner, Luis, and his wife take great care of the place and you can see it and feel it. What’s more, Luis made sure I was comfortable right from the start and I received such a welcome I felt I was with friends, like at home. All in all, excellent, 10/10.

    Inside photos obviously were taken from 4 different differently equipped apartments and were misleading therefore. We got not the best one. Definitely the worst stay during our vacation. I have been traveling a lot, though first time in Portugal, maybe that is a standard there, but: Kitchen Never have seen so barely equipped kitchen, just a very basic stuff. Not even a grain of salt, to say nothing about anything else. Oil, baking paper, dishwashing liquid, sponge, whatever - you should take care on everything yourself. And very, very dark, just a poor lamp in cat's eye shine. Bedrooms. As there are no conditioning anywhere you should open a window. But. There are no windows there. Just sliding doors. So, to refresh the inside you have to keep doors open during a night. One electrical socket in whole room where a night light is already plugged in. Bathroom. We were 5. Amendments only for one person, except the towels. We were all five were in same thoughts regarding the smell. Inside and outside as well, depending on wind. I assume other apartments might be better, but it is as it is, our experience is strongly negative.

    Worst property to stay in Portugal

    I will not recommend this property to anyone. The property has no Air conditioning, and when we requested the owner to provide a Fan, he did not offer any support. He said the weather gets better in the evening. The rooms did not have windows but a sliding door and that too without insect nets. We stayed here for 3 nights. On the first night, we opened the door and the house got full of mosquitoes which made our time miserable and we could not sleep the whole night and got bitten badly. We had to stay the other two nights without proper ventilation and in extremely hot rooms. This was so unhuman from the property owner. Worst property to stay. Please don't plan to stay here.
