This elegantly furnished, fully air conditioned (entire new air conditioning system installed in September 2019), very spacious 2 bedroom apartment, is in the exclusive development of Quinta das Palmeiras. It has just been redecorated internally in December 2019, with brand new bedding and linens also. It is within minutes walk of the beautiful historic old town of Lagos (it is a flat walk to all parts of the town - no hills); the stunning marina; the beach and all the amenities of Lagos. It contains a fully equipped separate kitchen; free wifi in the apartment; a large lounge/dining room with seating for 6, satellite TV/DVD, and an integrated sound system throughout the apartment. A spacious terrace leads off both the kitchen and lounge, furnished with table and 6 chairs for alfresco dining. The master bedroom has a double bed, en-suite bathroom and private balcony. The second bedroom has twin beds, and there is a further shower room. A cot is also available. Given the central location of the apartment, a car is not essential. The complex has lifts, an indoor heated pool, jacuzzi and gym, plus an outdoor pool with large sun terraces. The location and facilities have given us a number of guests returning again and again!

Monina a very pleasant and attentive host. Modern apartment and condominium in a quiet location but within easy walking distance of marina area and “old town”. Really enjoyed our stay.
Communication with Monina the owner was excellent right from the initial contact. The apartment manager was also very easy to communicate with. The apartment was exactly as described, and was also very clean! We enjoyed sitting on the balcony for some breakfast in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. The view is not great, just the road and another apartment building across the street - but we still enjoyed being able to sit outside. The apartment was very spacious, great for us as we were 2 couples travelling together. We enjoyed the location - a quick walk to everything. We especially enjoyed being close to old town Lagos. Would not hesitate to recommend staying here!
Overall were enjoyed our stay in the apartment. I have listed positives and challenges below. I am guessing some of the challenges is because owner has had property up for sale since Oct18 and doesn't want to spend on replacing items.. Positives: - very spacious - close to town - close to Pingo supermarket - nice pools, Jacuzzi and small gym Challenges: - Air conditioning still not working (mentioned in May19 review) blows warm air only. This meant we're had to leave windows open at night, which then is noisy due to proximity to town and building work opposite. - beds uncomfortable. I am guessing they are old now and need replacing, -underground car park very narrow and tricky to get in and out.. - some bulbs in kitchen blown and had not been replaced
Overall we enjoyed our stay, however the AC didn’t work, and it was dirty, we had to reclean every dish before we used it, anything with metal was rusty, and there was mildew in the shower. And good luck if you want to use the underground parking - it’s a disaster to get in and out of there!
Had a lovely stay at the apartment plenty of room and everything you need is here.It is central to everything and the booking process was excellent I would have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful apartment in the future. Thank you Monina and Carla.
The instructions before-hand from Monina and welcome by Carla on arrival were clear and friendly. The apartment and complex were clean with everything you should need. The location was brilliant, with the onsite gym and pools, plus a bar / cafe and a good restaurant both on the ground floor of the apartment block. The nearest supermarket is within 100m, with a couple of others nearby. The marina is just a couple of hundred meters away with a selection of bars and restaurants. The town centre and nearest beaches are all within easy walking distance, with the town having a number of excellent restaurants. The apartment is quite spacious and our family of four found having two bathrooms a bonus when getting ready. The balconies also give the option to sit quietly in the sun in the mornings without having to leave the apartment. All round an excellent base for a great holiday, thanks.
Plenty of room for four and everything you could want for a week away. Supermarkets are close by and the restaurants in the town are a 10 min stroll away.
The apartment was well located with easy walking distance to the marina and the historical downtown Lagos. It was well maintained and has plenty of room for two couples. Grocery store was nearby and we would recommend the restaurant Bransons which is on the main floor of the apartment building.
This property has everything you could want - it's situated in an excellent location near to shops, restaurants, pubs, marina, bus and train terminals. (There are lots of nearby places to explore - Silves, Portamaeo, Sagres, Alvor to name but a few). The apartment is well decorated, beds are really comfortable and it was useful having two bathrooms. The lounge /diner area is lovely and the kitchen has everything you could need, including washing machine, fridge, cooker, iron, ironing-board, etc. The apartment complex has its own gym and indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Keypad entry into block assures security. Really enjoyed staying here and would definitely recommend.
This was our second stay in this ideally located and beautifully furnished property. We were met punctually by Carla (owners rep. in Lagos ) who was most helpful. This is a quiet area of town but closely located to supermarkets, beach, pubs and restaurants. If you have a car ( not really necessary ) several beaches are within 15-20 mins. drive from the apt. Would recommend Salema and Borgaus. The local beach is great but these are a little quieter. Great restaurants everywhere -would recommend Quay Lagos at the marina and Orangery,o'Henrique, Casa de Prego and o'Mexilhao in the old town. Louis and McCabes pubs are good and about 5 mins. walk away. We had a great time in a beautiful resort and a very comfortable apt. Look forward to returning soon and hopefully to this property. P.S. If you have a car would suggest you park it around the complex area as the facility's underground parking is very cramped.
