Outside

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 full private use of the pool during the day, as owners are working. For the Spring / Summer of 2008 a new garden is being provided 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.
Booking notes
A 25% deposit at time of booking either sterling or euro cheques. Balance is payable on immediate arrival at apartment. A refundable deposit of £100 or 150 euros in cash is also payable on arrival to cover damage or breakages. We prefer guests not to smoke in the apartment.
