Owner profile
About the owner
Hi, we are the owners of Casa Annalise: Paul & Zoe French, and Les & Mary Wightman (Zoe's parents). Paul is a company director, Zoe is a graphic designer and mum of two, Les is about to retire from a busy international construction career and Mary is supermum/granny/cook. We have lived and worked all over the world, but we are now based in England and love the Algarve as its so easy to get to, is perfect for families, has such friendly people, great weather and some of the world's best beaches!
Year purchased: 2003
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We bought Casa Margharita in 2003 and have had many happy holidays here. We had a good feeling as soon as we walked in to this apartment, and it seems that many of our clients feel the same as we get a lot of repeat bookings - we have to plan our own holidays over a year in advance or we wouldn't be able to go!
Paul and Zoe now have two children and both apartments have proved perfect for family holidays too.
We love Lagos because it has a beautiful town and harbour, many amazing beaches - even one in town, and over 400 (apparently!) restaurants to choose from. Its easy to get to from Faro airport, just under an hour. There are so many things to do, whether you are with children or not, or you can just totally relax.
The people are very friendly, and the town is very well-kept.
Unique benefits of the property
Casa Margharita is very close to three beaches, including Praia D'Ana, one of Europe's top ten, a stunning beach with golden cliffs and warm, calm waters just a few minutes walk away. Praia Camilo is similar and even closer, and has a great fish restaurant; and Porto da Mos is close by, a huge white sandy beach with two lovely beachfront restaurants.
You can walk into town easily, through the castle walls. There are plenty of shops and facilities nearby, although the apartment itself enjoys wonderful peace and quiet being slightly off the main road.
