Notes on accommodation
The accommodation has a large double and a single sofa. The kitchen and bathroom contain everything 2 people would need for a relaxing holiday, with a welcome pack of essentials provided free. The village of Sargacal is a five minute walk away with a small bar where you meet with lots of local colour. As we are set in a rural are, we have a wide variety of wildlife around us. Birds of many varieties visit the garden or can be seen flying overhead. From the garden I have seen, eagles, buzzards, bee eaters, golden oriole, hoopoe, owls, to name a few. If guests go for a walk in the countryside localy, they can expect to see various assorted wildlife.
Outside
Outside the apartment is a patio area with a table and chairs provided, sun shade, barbecue, all overlooking the orchard with Orange, Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, Olive and Fig trees. Adjacent to this area is a small gate which leads down to the 10 meters by 5 meters swimming pool and sun terrace area, which is totally private. Beside the pool and sun terrace is a large lawn-ed area which is set aside for guests. Guests usually have private use of the pool during the day until late afternoon as the owners are working. A new garden area has been made available since 2008 especially for guests which receives full sun all day. A bench and table will be hidden among the plants for guests to relax and take the sun or read.
Coast/Beach
The nearest beach is Meia Praia, four kilometers away which is approximately 5 kilometers long. Around Lagos are many more smaller beautiful beaches each with a character of its own and all have the inevitable beach bar and fish restaurants. It would be difficult to recommend a beach as living in Portugal we travel and use all of them.
Golf
Close by are six golf courses, Parque da Floresta, Boavista, Palmares, Alto, Penina and Golfe do Morgado which it is possible to arrange discount green fees in advance. All these courses are between five and thirty minutes drive from the apartment and all have different challenges. When booking the apartment if this service is required it would be necessary to inform the owners and advise then of handicaps, time preferred to play, and number of players.
Travel
The nearest Airport is Faro 75 kilometers from Lagos, with a direct train service to Lagos. If guests would like to hire a car we have a local company who we use that are extremely competitive, this we can also arrange. Your car can be collected and dropped of at the Airport or at your apartment. Alternatively a taxi can be arranged.
Distances
The local village is a five minutes walk, Lagos is five minutes drive to the town with a wonderful history the voyages of discoveries of the 15th century setting out from the town. The town is pedestrianised and lots of the streets are traditionally cobbled. During the season there is a variety of street entertainment and festivals most of which are free. Places of interest include Church of Santa Maria, Church of Santo Antonio, Museu Regional, Forte Point da Bandeira set outside the town walls.
Further details
If owners are given adequate warning it is possible to arrange Fishing trips, Diving lessons, Surfing and Sailing lessons. We can also arrange your trip to a Water Park or even Zoomarina.

Owner profile
About the owner
My family and I moved to the Lagos area of Portugal, ten years ago, and have never regretted the move. We have a way of life most people only dream about. We lead a cosmopolitan lifestyle with our Portuguese friends,plus we have made friends with people who now live in Portugal coming from all over the world, its a very small place really.
My wife and I work locally, and enjoy serving the community we live in. We have many activities we take part in, national and international.
My only regret is that I didn't make the move to Portugal when I was younger. Its a wonderful way of life especially if you join in and embrace the locals and their culture.
Year purchased: 2001
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We purchased our property because we loved it at first sight. It was not build as holiday accommodation, but as a home a place to live and enjoy. We have a very large mediterranean garden with our own orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit,fig olive trees. Our own private swimming pool, but best of all space. When we come in through our front gates, no one bothers us, unless we have invited them.
