Great Location

Loved everything about this property. Ideally located just outside the walls of the old town, it is minutes away from the many cafes, restaurants, bars and shops in the picturesque area. The apartment is on the upper floor of a building on a cul de sac. It is large, bright and tastefully decorated with every modern amenity, including excellent wifi and tv with many English channels. The deck is roomy and features a sun room and offers a spectacular view of the old town and the bay. The pool area is quite large with dedicated deck chairs for sunning and there is also a rooftop deck with a stunning view. Our hostess, Claire, was very helpful and went out of her way to ensure that we had a nice stay. The photos truly do not do justice to the apartment. We hope to stay again when we return to Lagos.

February 2023 in Lagos Stay Review

What was great: The place is lovely with an amazing high up view of the city and beach with lots of windows and light. The furnishing are nicely done and the place is spacious. We were just above the Old Town of Lagos so it was easy to visit all the restaurants and stores and see the downtown historical locations and the promenade. The kitchen was large with pretty much everything you need for cooking, and we used the washing machine a couple times although the cycle was short (otherwise takes hours in Portugeses machines!!!) No dryer but we were able to hang out our clothes outside on sunny days. Claire greeted us upon arrival, explained everything, and there is a great book where all your questions could be answered. Halfway through the 3 weeks the linens and towels etc. were replace and the condo was cleaned. Lovely cleaning lady! Lovely pool but too cold for our stay but would be great in the summer. Lots of hot water, but not drinkable. You need to use bottled water for drinking, tea and coffee. Pretty typical in Portugal. A couple of issues however. We had chosen the place for the central heating as we knew Feb would be quite cool, and we were told not to use it when we arrived. There were two small space heaters in the two bedrooms, and a heat pump in the lounge but the bathrooms, kitchen and halls were very cold all the time, and even the bedrooms got quite cool despite the heaters. I know electricity and gas are very expensive this year in the EU so I understand the concerns about cost but it was disappointing. And we felt cold most of the time. Some suggestions for improvement: the beds are HARD!! Like a board. We put blankets on top to soften them a bit but it was hard for sleeping. Easily solved with mattress toppers in foam or plush. Also the large bathroom has a bath/shower combination with a deep tub and a glass separator near the faucet and it was too difficult to get into and out of as there was no railing along the wall to hold on to. Probably should be added as you don't want anyone slipping and falling in the tub/shower. As a result we only used the tiny shower in the smaller bedroom. And with all the walking up and down hills I missed having a nice hot bath. Do note that it is a 15-20 minute walk to the beach down steepish hills through the Old town on cobblestones (so we drove several times and there is lots of parking). This rental will be perfect in the summer!

Fabulous location. Less then 5 minute walk to great restaurants and shopping. Super friendly locals

Overall we were happy with the property. No problem with parking for our rental vehicle. Excellent location. Beds were comfortable. Quiet neighbourhood. There were a couple of housekeeping issues. We had to reset hot water tank before each use or risk having cold showers. The handheld shower didn't hold securely in the wall attachment when in use. Could use a few more dishes and clothe hangers. Overall, I would recommend this property.

Views better than advert and great location for town and beach

The apartment living area is bright with stunning sea views - photos do not do the view justice! The balcony is large with the same views - it doesn’t get much sun so if you want to sunbathe the pool area was always clean and quiet. The roof terrace was always empty too for another sunbathing option. Location is perfect, a few minutes walk into the town centre with lots of restaurants and shops and bars - something to suit all ages. The marina is about 15/20 minute walk depending on the heat! Showers were great, kitchen facilities perfect for nights in, living room very comfy with Netflix and huge tv! Claire and Lou were fantastic hosts, always on hand to help. Our only issue was that there is no air con in the bedrooms and the cool air didn’t transfer from the living room ac unit when it was very hot with no breeze - this made sleeping tricky at times. Otherwise, perfect. Thank you Claire and Lou!

Wonderful stay

This is our second visit to Claire's and Lou's wonderful apartment in Lagos. It was perfect for our family of four, lots of space, fully equipped with everything we needed, with amazing views and fresh breeze through the windows. The location is perfect - steps to the old town Lagos and a short Uber ride to the beach. The swimming pool is a huge hit with our kids. Claire's book of recommendations was very helpful and we tried many destinations and restaurants she suggested. We hope to back AGAIN!

Thank you very much to Claire and Lou for allowing us to stay in your apartment. The apartment met all our needs and had everything we needed to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable. The views over the bay are great and it's location near the old town was perfect with easy access to the shops and restaurants. The pool was also great for the adults and kids as it was always very quiet. The boys enjoyed the nearby mini golf course. Thanks again Andy

Our special experience in Lagos started with this apartment

Spacious, well appointed/furnished, fully equipped was just the start. Claire met us at the door and gave us a complete briefing on all aspects of the apartment and facilities, appliances, etc. She then gave us a very helpful overview of our location vis a vis the surrounding area and gave us great suggestions re local restaurants, sites, and distances/best routes to travel comfortably around the Algarve. Best of all...the VIEW from the apartment over the Ocean. And we were only steps away from the old town which we thoroughly enjoyed during our stay. We will be back soon!

Beautiful villa with breathtaking views

My husband and I spent an amazing week in this two bedroom villa and wished we could have stayed longer. Claire and Lou were excellent hosts and responded to all my emails, texts and calls within the hour. Claire was at the Villa to meet us upon our arrival and as soon as we walked in and saw that view of Old town Lagos with the backdrop of the sea and beyond we were hooked. Claire was so warm and welcoming and made us feel at home immediately. She has compiled a very thorough information binder on the operation of all things in the villa as well as restraunts and things to do in the surrounding area. The master bedroom has a very comfortable queen bed, television & bathroom across the hall. The second bedroom has two twin beds, television and a ensuite bathroom. The living area is very nicely decorated and very comfortable. There is a 70" television with Netflix and many viewing choices, as well as a dvd library to choose from. There is an amazing wraparound balcony with views of the pool right below, the old city wall & town of Lagos & the sea beyond. There is also a sunroom off the balcony as an additional option with awesome views also. There is an air conditioner if needed, but with the villa being on the third floor if the windows are open the breeze keeps it cool enough. Being from Illinois we couldn't get over being able to leave the windows open all night with no bugs or critters coming in! We really appreciated the elevator for hauling our luggage and groceries and the access to the pool was great also. We had it all to ourselves and although it was quite hot, there was a constant breeze. We really enjoyed our time in Portugal and found the people to be some of the warmest we have had the good fortune to meet. We enjoyed everything about Old town Lagos....the Grotto tour, etc. We have been extremely blessed to have traveled extensively in Europe, Hawaii and the Caribbean, and we found Claire and Lou's villa to be one of the nicest and cleanest. We would love to return and will certainly recommend this villa to friends and family. Thanks to Claire and Lou for sharing your beautiful home with us.

We had a wonderful week at Views of Lagos. The appartment is huge, comfortable and has all the equipment and facilities you would want. We ate all our meals on the balcony and enjoyed the lovely view. Our kids loved swimming in the pool and playing bat and ball in the outdoor space. Lagos has stunning beaches and lovely places to eat. We would definitely return.

Fantastic apartment close to town and the beaches

This is a great apartment, just outside the city walls, so close to town. Only a 15 minute walk to the nearest beach. The apartment was perfect for 4 of us, lovely and clean with great facilities. Beautiful views from the balcony and the living room, a sunroom to sit in if it’s too sunny or windy on the balcony and a small balcony from the kitchen which was very sheltered. Our teen boys loved having Netflix on tv when they wanted to keep out of the sun. The pool area is lovely, clean and quiet, no fighting over sun loungers here! Lagos is a great city, very busy when we went in August with many restaurants needing booking in advance, great food, plenty of little shops and interesting people watching! I would highly recommend this apartment as it’s a real home from home! Claire was always responsive when organising our booking.

Great location, view, comfort

This lovely condo is located just outside the old city walls, which is perfect for a quiet stay but within minutes of the old town's amenities. The view over the red Lagos rooftops to the sea is stunning, made all the nicer by the large deck. And on windy days the sunroom was a perfect respite. Inside the condo is very well appointed and comfortable. Claire was very helpful, I would definitely recommend this property.

Perfect Apartment! Perfect Location!

We cannot say enough about this apartment. The whole stay from the apartment, to the location, to the town of Lagos and the nearby beaches exceeded our expectations. The apartment was walking distance to nearby beaches (all within 30 min or less). It was nice to be able to choose from different beaches. But the best was how close it was to the old city walls and entrance. Every night we explored the cobble stoned narrow streets with so much to see and so many restaurants to choose from! Of course we had the fantastic view from the living room and balcony and the pool to cool off after our walks from the beach. The apartment itself could not have been better - clean, spacious, and stocked with everything you need. I could not recommend this place enough. When we come back to Lago, we will definitely stay here! I also want to thank Claire for always being so helpful and answering all of our questions.

Just perfect!

This property is amazing! The apartment is extremely spacious and well appointed - our family of 2 adults and 2 teens was very comfortable there. The location is ideal - right near the action in the center of town (walking distance) yet away from the noise and bustle. The pool was an excellent place to relax and the views from the apartment were gorgeous. The owners and property manager were very responsive and accommodating. I would highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Claire Schillaci

Host profile image
Lou and Claire moved to the Algarve from Australia and have enjoyed making a new home in Lagos in the Western Algarve.

"It's a large enough town to be busy and have every imaginable facility and yet it is a walkable, relaxed town with lovely old streets, beautiful beaches and a year round holiday spirit. We love it!"

Lou and Claire, and their Australian cattle dog, Lilli, love to share the Lagos experience with visitors who all comment on the beautiful views from the apartment.

"We enjoy a walk around the old town in the morning and a quiet cup of coffee in one of the many cafes. If we get the chance we walk to the beach during the day. In the evenings there is an endless choice of bars, shops and restaurants to while away the evening."

Lou and Claire warmly welcome you to Lagos.

Why they chose this property

We were lucky enough to find our Views of Lagos apartment two years ago and happily rented it until having the recent good fortune to purchase it.

It is a very spacious top floor apartment. Of course the views are what draw you in immediately as they span a 180 degree vista, from the mountain of Monchique, across Meia Praia beach and the Bay of Lagos, right across the old town to the ancient city wall.

The loungeroom and balcony have prime views but the nice thing is that every room has a view of something - old town, new town and the old wall.

Being just outside the city wall, the old town is on the doorstep, which makes for great walks and easy shopping and dining. It’s also lovely that the beaches you can see from the apartment are walking distance.

What makes this property unique

It is rare to have the combination of views and location. Everything you see you can walk to. Within 30 seconds you are through the wall and in the old town with its cobbled streets and fisherman's cottages.

Even the locals agree that Lagos is authentically Portuguese so you can enjoy meandering around the old town, and still find great places to eat, live music and interesting shops.

Behind the apartment is the local neighbourhood where you will see how the locals live - how they shop and the bars and cafes they frequent. The local fish and fruit and veggie market is here. It’s a real slice of life experience.

At Views of Lagos you are central to absolutely everything . You can just relax around the pool or on the balcony, or take in many interesting local sights.
