About this property

Apt. Praças das Armas I

A fantastic opportunity to stay in the heart of Lagos with everything on your doorstep. This stylish apartment is conveniently located in a quiet location, just inside the city walls of this historic and amazing town.

This newly modernised and very chic apartment has been tastefully renovated and decorated. The owners have chosen high quality finishing’s and furnishings giving the apartment a feeling of luxury. You will find all the modern comforts we come to expect from accommodation these days, but cleverly mixed with vintage pieces.

Set in the “Praça das Armas” village square with the medieval town walls to one side, and an archway on the other, which was once one of the main gateways into the old city. Across the square you will find a “Churrasqueira” takeaway, selling the famous and delicious Piri Piri Chicken. Secure off-road parking can be found in the Anel Verde underground car park 100 metres away. Just outside the walls, there is a large green park area, complete with children’s play-parks and the Pro Putting Garden (mini golf). There is also a well-stocked Spar supermarket within 300 metres.

The 2nd floor apartment, set-up to sleep 2 adults, is very spacious (59 m2). The lounge has double glazed patio windows and a balcony overlooking the square. Facilities include MEO cable TV offering a large number of channels in various languages, a 43” TV, and old fashioned style Bluetooth radio, Wi-Fi, ceiling fan, air con and electric shutters.
There is a dining area for 4 with a replica of the famous Eero Saarinen Tulip Table and 4 Eames DSW chairs in a 1950’s style
The modern, white kitchen, comes complete with Siemens washing machine, dishwasher, electric oven & hob, microwave, large fridge and freezer, toaster, kettle, Nespresso machine and electric juicer.

A corridor leads to a large double bedroom, double glazed patio doors and a small balcony. Facilities include 32” TV, Air con and ceiling fan.
The bathroom has natural light thanks to the “corner” window, and boasts a walk-in rain dance shower and superior quality finishing’s. Underfloor heating and a heated towel rail, ensure comfort even in the cooler months.

All bed linen and towels are supplied. The owner would be willing to put in 1 extra fold out bed for a child up to 12 years of age, and/or a cot, making the apartment suitable for 2 adults, or for a family of 4.

Lagos is a vibrant, lively town with its myriad of winding streets and hidden gems. Wonderful in the summer months with numerous restaurants, bars and eclectic shops, plus street entertainment laid on for visitors and, equally delightful during the rest of the year for those wishing to escape the weather at home.

Trending now, “winter lets” would also be a possibility for this apartment, for a minimun of 30 nights between October and April

Eine wunderschöne Ferienwohnung, in Spitzenlage! Wir mussten kurz suchen, da wir nicht gleich den Hauseingang gefunden haben. Dank der netten Kommunikation mit der Agentur, fanden wir es.

Great Stay

We loved our stay at this apartment. Check in with Sarah was super easy and she provided tons of details about parking and shopping in the area. The apartment size was great and also very clean when we showed up. The location is also very fun and easy to find. The only thing to consider is the noise factor late at night. My wife and I enjoyed it, but there was a loud concert and partying happening some nights in the square right outside the apartment which didn't end until after midnight. So if you are looking for quiet, this apartment or likely old town Lagos isn't the spot to stay. Would stay here again if we are ever in Lagos.

The good, the bad and the ugly

The good, beautiful apartment in great location midway between old town and beaches. The bad, very uncomfortable bed, extremely low water pressure and very noisy until 11:30 pm. Also, there were no starting grocery basics like salt, pepper, sugar or tea, all needed to be purchased at the local store unlike all the other apartments we have rented using HomeAway. The ugly, when we arrived we found that construction was going on in the building. Extremely loud hammering and drilling between 9 am and 5 pm. We were not advised of any work being done by the host. The host did not seem aware the work was going on but I find it hard to believe that the owner had not been notified. The reason for the vacation was to rest and recover for medical reasons which was near impossible. Out of our 4 day stay we had to endure the noise for 3 days. We had asked the host for compensation but were only offered a drink at the owners restaurant.

Loved Old Town

We loved the location of this property being right by the entrance to the Old Town. We really enjoyed sitting out on the balcony savoring coffee in the morning and indulging in fabulous Portuguese wines and appetizers in the evenings. It was a great people watching spot right by entrance. The unit is beautifully remodeled with all of the modern conveniences including electric shades that made sleeping so delightful in a dark, quiet room. This place is very walkable to all of the sites in Old Town. Would highly recommend it!

This place is a gem!

I've stayed in many VRBOs and for the most part, while they've all had some charm, they tend to be somewhat less desirable than their pictures. Not this place though - if anything, the pictures undersell it. This is a completely updated apartment with quality finishes, it's spacious, and the furniture is all really comfortable. The property manager, Sarah, is fantastic and wonderfully helpful. Overall, an excellent vacation and we hope to return soon.

nice modern apt in very good location

Nice apt in great location. Balcony overlooking small plaza. A/c works well. Three floors up with no elevator. I am 73 with heavy luggage and could manage ok. Rental office is just a few blocks away and better address to use to use when first arriving. Older agent on duty during weekend was a little crusty but ok. I made a good choice .

Great little apartment

Great little apartment and city. We loved our stay and would recommend it to others. It was a little inconvenient not having a lift to the apartment as we had a six month old baby and lots of luggage to accompany him. The beaches in the area are incredible and the location is perfect for a few days or weeks getaway.

Great location and Very good quality Property

The property is located just inside the old city walls and provides easy access to the town on foot and the main parade running the length of the town by the sea. Plenty of good restaurants nearby and some interesting buildings and narrow streets to wander in. The beaches are simply stunning on both the south and west coasts and if you take the time to go up into the mountain area as well there are some amazing walks.

Great stay with the family

Would definitely stay here again. Close to town centre and somewhat away from all the noise. People walk down the street from other locations to get to the town centre so it can get a little noisy. There are bars which are down the street for the young folks and quite loud when your near it but apt is a little ways away and cannot hear it at night. Apartment was very modern and very clean and well looked after. Washroom kitchen and bedroom are ideal for a family. Would have been nice to have some basic essentials provided like toilet paper, sugar, spices so we have to go out and buy that. Also we did have a laundry machine but we're told that the cleaners would come mid-week to provide fresh towels. Sarah was amazing with the communication back and forth and even allowed us to store the luggage at her office while the apartment was being cleaned. Overall a great stay.

The apartment in Lagos was great. It was very clean and well located to visit around the Algave. Everything looked as new and was well organised. It is near the beach and in the heart of the old town. I recommend this place to anyone and we would definetly stay there again.

Ideal holiday apartment

Lovely apartment, beautifully presented and ideally located for bars, restaurants and local cafes and supermarkets. The agents are first class and are located within a 5 minute walk. They also arrange transfers to and from the airport which eliviates any transfer worries. All in all the best value for money myself and my wife have had in all our years of travelling !!! We will be back.
