Great location and well equipped

We are very pleased with our recent stay. The unit has lots of space and modern amenities. It is in a great location near the beach and cliff trails and is a short drive to Old Town Lagos. The complex is quiet and peaceful and a great place to relax. The beach restaurants are excellent for relaxing drinks and meals. it's a great "home base" to explore the Algarve

Summer holiday

Excellent sized apartment in a collection of just 12 sharing a good sized pool. Good selection of sunbeds and umbrellas and rarely busy during the day. Easy walk to the beach which is also first class. Make sure you book sunbeds on the beach in advance though or you’re getting there for 9am just to get what’s not been hired out. French restaurant around the corner is excellent but the ones on the beach are pretty average. Head to Vivenda Miranda for an excellent lunch and location but, again, make sure you book. If you like visiting bars then you’re looking at an Uber into Lagos but they are very cheap. We fully enjoyed our stay in this apartment and you won’t be disappointed if you stay here.

Beautiful week away !

The apartment was lovely- very clean, spacious and most importantly comfortable for a family of five ! Having two bathrooms definitely helped. The pool area is well maintained, and not busy - we had the area to ourselves most of the time. It is only a five minute walk to Porto Do Mos beach- it is quite a busy beach but nice to have it on your doorstep if you are a beach lover. Lagos is only a seven minute drive too- it is quite touristy but quite a cool town with lots of restaurants… John was extraordinarily responsive to anything we needed. Thank you John! Would highly recommend *****

Excellent appt. Good contact

Excellent appt. Good contact and discussion email and by phone with the owner (John ) prior to booking appt. Good directions and met at the appt , friendly and pleasant. Appt was well provided for. TV Sat, DVD - Good kitchen - AC in all rooms - Two good bedrooms - 3 kids in one room worked well for us. Black out shutters meant the kids slept well. V Nice main bedroom - Good balcony over looking the pool. Complex a nice mix of owners and holiday renters, all seemed very pleasant and never more than a few families at the pool at any one time. 3-5 min down hill steps to the beach. very nice beach with two fair to good restaurants. Car certainly advised. we had a small Peugeot 207 - suited the 5 of us fine. Supermarkets small drive to Lagos. Lagos itself easy to drive round and park either inside the old city wall or outside. Lagos nice with not being overly busy like other places. Couple of waterparks and a zoo marine park 30 - 40 mins drive. V easy to get to. Overall Excellent appt good position , nice and quiet. Would go back - happy to recommend.

Nice location. Beautiful place.

This rental had a lot of space. However there were some issues. We lost electricity and the host ignored us for days. We lost our food in the refrigerator and had to charge our electronics outside, and we couldn't use anything that we needed that required electricity for a few days. Finally we went for a walk and saw the host walking his dog so he had to acknowledge us. He said he'd send someone the next day (day 3!!!) When someone finally came they entered with a key and my friend was not dressed! The washing machine was also broken which was an amenity I was looking forward to since we were traveling for a few weeks. As a result I had to wait until we arrived at the next location and spent an astronomical amount dry cleaning my clothes. There was no lockbox (as stated in the description) so when we arrived after traveling for some time we had to wait outside an additional half hour for the host. Some positives were a beautiful view, and a short walk to the beach. Restaurant Campimar is on the beach, and it's absolutely wonderful. The location is quiet and the center area was very cute.

Great and very spacious , clean apartment

Lovely property very clean and very well equipped. Everything you’d need. Very spacious. Everything was great. We had a small issue with air in but sorted immediately. Only downside is that if you don’t have a car it’s a good distance to the supermarket pity there is not one locally. But Uber very reasonable and available too.

A wonderful apartment.

We spent the first three weeks of February in this beautiful apartment and loved every minute of it. It is extremely spacious, very comfortable for two couples, and has all the conveniences you would expect in high end accommodation. Plus a weekly maid service which we did not expect! Carla met us on arrival and was easy to reach if we had questions or needed anything. Particularly wonderful is the large balcony and a beautiful view of the pool and the ocean. Porto de Mos is a lovely, high end, safe community with a stunning beach. The beach is at most a five minute walk from the apartment and there are two great restaurants open all day. Lagos is only a five minute drive and there is a large supermarket a few minutes drive from the apartment. A car is definitely recommended. We cant eait to come back!

Superb apartment perfectly located with ocean view. A short walk to the Porto do Mos beach. The apartment complex is beautifully landscaped and very quiet. Two good restaurants are located nearby and right in front of the beach. The owner is responsive and quick to respond to any questions. Check in was also easy with someone that came to meet us upon our arrival. A real five stars !!!

Family holiday in Porto de Mos

Have just spent a fabulous 10 night stay in this apartment. When we arrived the apartment was spotless and beautifully presented. The view is stunning looking over the pool and to the sea. The pool and garden area is fantastic, with lots of comfortable sunbeds. We were often the only ones using it, so it was very quiet and relaxing. The beach is a 7 min stroll down a gentle hill and is beautiful. Great for swimming with lovely fine sand. We ate at one of the restaurants and had a delicious meal. Taxis were very efficient and cost about 8 Euros into Lagos. Would highly recommend staying at this apartment and would definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by John George

Host profile image
Having lived in Portugal most of my adult life & loving this part of the Algarve, especially Lagos, Porto de Mós was the obvious choice as it still retains its typical Portuguese charm and as this is where I live it seemed the right choice to provide high quality holidays right here

Why they chose this property

The 'location' - almost absolute beach position

What makes this property unique

The views & the secluded low rise condominium with only 12 apartments (most of which are seldom used & not rented)
