Marco was very helpful and answered quickly any questions we had. The house was very well equipped and the breakfast was delicious! It was a pleasure having breakfast on the rooftop :) Also the house was very clean.

All was great! A very comfortable bed and a yummy breakfast you can make: fresh bread, eggs and orange juice. The kitchen is fully equipped. The owner, Marco, is a kind and hospitable owner. The location is perfect. We'd love to be back!

Paulo Poland

Marco is just the most lovely host. The room is a great size for 3-4 people. Breakfast is provided every morning which is so kind. You are able to find beach towels and umbrellas, books and anything else needed to make your beach trips easy. The location is in the heart of the old town and is literally 5 minutes away from the beach.

Situated right above Lagos iconic meeting place "Mimar snack bar", at the very heart of Lagos old town. This Historic building was once a primary school for girls, renovated keeping some of the old features perfectly integrated to it's new funstion. Lovely retro decor, confortable and fun !!
We own and run Mimar Snack Bar, downstairs from Old School B&B. Attending to guest is our way of living and we love it !!
Lagos old town center is fun, is lively ! A taste of old Portuguese tradition mixed in all kind of nationalities and languages. Every evening is party time, and in morning take a lovely walk to beatifull beach just stroll away.
