SUMMARY
Fabulous old town Lagos apartment with a unique Moroccan garden for sunbathing, eating and BBQ. Cool & stylish inside, quiet ceiling fans and just 1 minute from bars, restaurants, clubs and only a few minutes walk to the best beaches in Europe.

THE SPACE
Casinha Alegrias (The Happy House) is a unique apartment in Lagos Old Town (car not needed). It has a fabulous Moroccan courtyard garden, ideal for chilling, sunbathing, eating and BBQ´ing great fresh fish and meats from the local market (5-minute walk). The Casinha has just been renovated in the romantic Moorish style with stylish antique furniture and decor, also with super quiet ceiling fans for those warm Lagos evenings. Very quiet at night and the garden is beautifully illuminated for a truly romantic stay in one of Lagos´s finest locations.

GUEST ACCESS
You will have the whole apartment and garden to yourselves for the whole stay.

PLEASE NOTE: Arrivals any day after 9pm and anytime on Sunday or bank holidays are subject to a Meet & Greet fee of 50€ payable in cash to our local property managers when checking in.

PARKING
Although street parking is technically possible (subject to availability), due to the narrowness of the street, WE STRONGLY ADVISE using one of the two public parking lots within 150m of the apartment.

WIFI
Free wifi is available throughout the apartment and patio.

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS
Our property managers, Destination Algarve, are located in central Lagos. They will do a meet & greet upon your arrival and are always available for any problems that may arise during your stay. We leave a Lagos information pack for you with all of the best local recommendations for eating, drinking, shopping, tours and beaches.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Lagos Old Town is a charming and historical area, yet within 5-10 minutes walk from some of Europe´s best beaches. 400 bars, restaurants and cafe´s, great clubs, and quirky shops await you...our guests come back year after year after they have fallen in love with Lagos

GETTING AROUND
Excellent buses to all tourist points in Portugal and Spain. The train from Faro terminates at Lagos. Easy and cheap car rentals from Luz Car in Lagos and taxi´s are available 24 hours at the local taxi rank.

HOUSE RULES
The apartment and the garden are very strictly non-smoking. The apartment is very romantic and therefore only suitable for couples without children, no noisy surfers or late clubbers, as our street is a typical Portuguese old town street, it is quiet at night, so no loud parties or music after 11pm.

    We enjoyed our stay here. The location was excellent and had the weather been a little warmer we would have used the outdoor space more. One thing to note, if you’re on the tall side (my husband is 6’2”) you may find the foot board on the bed uncomfortable.

    Our home for 10 days in Lagos was functional, beautifully decorated, and centrally located. We felt at home the minute we walked in the door; the casinha was well appointed with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. What raised all of this to another level was the outside terrace/patio: you would have to see this bit of paradise to understand! We will be back!

    The house was fine but for the cost I would expect more I’m afraid I know it says ceiling fans but this house needs air con as the weather was exceptionally hot and the fans were pretty useless I also felt the decoration was a bit dark. I suppose I’m being picky, we enjoyed our stay but I feel it needs updating and lightened up the bed was small and there was a thick duvet on it I would expect in summer there should’ve been a 2 tog or very light duvet it’s all about attention to detail and I am fussy.also we only had a bath towel and hand towel each I did wash them but could’ve done with a few extra towels.

    Perfectly located in the old town with a wonderful peaceful private garden. The kitchen is well equipped for those wanting to cook meals. This is our #1 choice to escape our Canadian winters.

    Absolutely love this property so much so that we have been three times!!! Location is brilliant. Extremely quiet even though you are in the centre of Lagos. Did I say I love this apartment?

    Have read other reviews that said pictures didn't do it justice - so true. An amazing property in the heart of beautiful Lagos.

    This apartment is the perfect place to explore Lagos. You literally have everything at your doorstep while still being situated on a quiet street. The apartment has everything you could possibly need from beach chairs and umbrellas to shampoo! The patio garden is so beautiful - a little oasis. Everything was spotlessly clean. I couldn't fault the place on anything. It's a solid 10/10 from me! Frances and Karl

    We very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful and well appointed apartment. Located in a quiet side street in the old town, we were only a 5 minute walk from the Pracas and not much longer a walk from the beaches. The private garden was as beautiful as the images show. We will be returning!
