Villa with Stunning Sea Views, Private Pool & Garden - near Meia Praia, Lagos

We enjoyed our time at this villa and were impressed with the layout. It worked very well with our family’s needs. Given it was off-season we knew there would be some challenges.We thoroughly appreciated the layout of the villa. Having a central common area was great to accommodate all of us. The bedrooms were nicely isolated from the rest of the villa offering privacy and quiet. The kitchen and dining room worked out well for us too and the kitchen was stocked very well for our week. A few considerations for the owners are as follows:- The “15 minute walk” to the beach is inaccurate as the villa is situated in a cul-de-sac removed from paths. We managed to bush whack our way through the high bushes but even if that path was fully cleared it would be at least a 20-30 minute walk. The listing should simply say it’s a 5-10 minute drive to the beach. - Supplies like dish towels, garbage bags, toilet paper and the like were insufficient for a one week stay by our family. Having a baby with us automatically requires more supplies but this was not factored in. We paid extra for the playpen but this should have also included extra supplies to go along with having the baby here. We felt like the owners were cheaping out on this. - Water conservation. Considering how valuable a resource water is in this area we found it surprising how much water we wasted while waiting for hot water. I would suggest looking at on-demand heating systems rather than what is currently in use.

Beautiful Villa. Pool and outdoor area is very picturesque and perfect for relaxing. Loved the last step in the pool, because you are either in or out. Very nice, new sunbeds. Bathrooms are both great, with great shower pressure and plenty of towels. Great lighting and sink in main bathroom. Beds are very comfy. Loved the outdoor lighting and all the doors that open up to the outdoor area. Webber BBQ easy to use. Lovely new kitchen, with everything we needed. Great communication with checking in and out. No reflection on the villa, but we also experienced 1 night of party noise from the villa behind, which didn’t disturb us too much and was quiet for the rest of our holiday. This is a very pretty, cosy villa that we enjoyed thoroughly, Great location, 5 min drive to Lagos.

Amazing property in calm area, but still close enough to the city.

host asked our group to go straight to property which we did but was surprised there was not even any milk to make a hot drink beds were not made and only two towels for entire week as the rest of the linens were locked away we had to clean up a daily what looked like fox pou which was deposited on the terrace outdoor furniture tired and white plastic beds dirty could not move the single umbrella this villa is not child or elderly safe as no handle into pool and after 4th step it is a sheer drop into the pool I am 5ft 3inch and I was on my tip toe to reach the bottom plus the stone steps leading to the cellar where the washing machine is from the kitchen was u guarded and the third bedroom is a single bed with a small pull out bed the toilet broke and I had to negotiate with host for a plumber to come out that day as she just shrugged saying it was not her fault and I had to explain I did not want the male in the group coming into my bedroom in the night to use my ensuite but it did not get onto a very good start when we pulled up and saw the sour face of host It was a lovely view but certainly not luxury as there was not enough fans for every room

This location was exactly as presented in the listing, and was perfect for our needs. Beautiful views of the ocean and Lagos from the pool deck were a welcome start and end to each day. While a car is needed to get to town and local sights, it doesn't take long to get to the beach, into Lagos, or to the highway. There is also an excellent new grocery store quite nearby. We enjoyed our time here with a three-generation family group. Each of us had access to the pool deck from our comfortable rooms. The living room opens onto the patio as well. The kitchen is smaller but well appointed and everything is in good condition. There is gated parking available. The host was friendly and clear regarding arrivals and departures. We would definitely consider going back to Lagos and would return to this villa townaccess is ready

Quite comfortabele house with a lovely swimming pool. Kitchen is oké and equipped with all the necessary things. BBQ is great and at night the pool is illuminated. Just 15 minutes walking to the beach. Sun till 19:00 hours in October on the spacey terras.

Beautiful surroundings and great location for day trips. The house was very nice and the outdoor area was extremely enjoyable. The property manager was very attentive. Would definitely recommend.

Villa Doce provided a wonderful home base for us as we explored the Algarve region of Portugal. The house has incredible views, a great pool and deck area with doors opening from every part of the house to the beautiful landscape beyond. It was a 20 minute walk to Praia Meia down a well worn path. The beach has soft sand extending to Lagos and Portamaio with clear blue waters. Exploring other parts of the region was easy by car and many beautiful towns and beaches were within 30 km. My only recommendation would be that the host provided newer towels and linens, toilet paper and basic toiletries. The outdoor shower had very little water pressure and unfortunately was not useful for taking a full shower. Our stay here was wonderful and we would definitely return!

The villa is really well equipped and comfortable. It is in a peaceful neighbourhood up on a hill and is private. We had a car which you probably need as it is a 5 min drive down to the marina. Good WiFi. Great place to stay and would definitely come back.

The villa is positioned on the hills behind Meia Praia just outside Lagos, in a culdesac - quite secluded but only 5 mins down to the marina or beach by car. Very relaxing holiday with lovely open views. Pingo Doce supermarket is also just 5 mins away nr the marina. Loads of places to eat around the marina which were reasonably priced, and also in the town of Lagos itself. Plenty of room in the 3 bed villa, which was very clean but we thought the 2 bathrooms needed updating aswell as the kitchen cupboards which had also seen better days. We knew there was no air/con in the villa, but we thought there should have been a few electric fans available at least which are relatively cheap to supply considering the price we paid to rent the villa for two weeks in the peak period. The only other problem we had there (not the fault of the owner), was a group of people in the large villa directly behind, Casa Romano, partying every night of our second week until late, with very loud shouting, singing/karaoke and just generally loud overall which was very annoying. Beside that though we thoroughly enjoyed the two weeks. We were told when the cleaner would be calling in, Sunday, but would be nice to know when the pool guy and the gardener was calling.
