Panoramic View in Old Town Lagos
Sun Splashed Roof Deck in the Heart of it All
Sleeps 4 (2 Bedrooms)
|
|
Next to the Church of San Sebastian, we occupy a premier position at the highest point in old town Lagos. From our roof deck you can look down on the Plaza Gil Eanes, the very heart of Lagos, or out over the Atlantic. Watch the masts of the sailboats gliding by upriver to the Marina. There is an uninterrupted view of the undulating historic west wall. It is a short walk to the grand beach of Meia Praia or the more intimate cliff protected beach of Dona Ana. There is free parking near the Church or along the river promenade and we are a 12 mins walk from the train station and about 5 mins from the bus depot. We are a half block from an internet cafe and within sight of some of the best restaurants in Lagos, as well as several grocers. As for the bars, we are not so close that you can hear the noise, but near enough to walk the few mins home and watch the sun rise out of the Atlantic. They load up the Land Rover with surfboards right behind us and it's not 10 minutes to golf.

Notes on accommodation
Ideal for 2 couples or a family, there is lots of privacy and plenty for children to do nearby. There are a few permanent residents in the building and only one other rental, a few floors down with no access to the roof. The building is very private and quiet. The modern room controlled air conditioning works very well and also run as heaters.
Accessibility
The apartment is at the top of a third floor walk up. There is no elevator access.
Outside
The veranda runs the length of the apartment and is a good spot to lounge in the afternoon sun. The roof deck has to be seen to be believed. There is a table and chairs, as well as lounge chairs, all stored on the roof.
Coast/Beach
The beach of Meia Praia is about a 10 min walk over the river via a nearby footbridge. The fort and town beach are a short walk down the promenade. The cliff beaches are easily accessed on foot across from the fire station (past the Indian restaurant with the awesome butter chicken), Dona Ana being the largest and a twenty minute walk. There are many little coves accessible by steps in the cliffs between town and the lighthouse at Ponta da Piedade. Many are serviced by restaurants.
Golf
Palmares Golf Club a few mins drive along the Meia Praia (the long swath of beach running east of town). Boa Vista Golf is less than 5 mins drive west, near Luz.
Travel
Faro airport is well laid out and very organized. For less than ten euros you can taxi to the train station in a few mins. Eight trains run to Lagos a day, about an hour and 40 min trip, for about seven euros a person. The Lagos train station is right behind the Marina building, a short walk into town. Via the A22 Motorway Lagos is about an hours drive from Faro. Car hire is not necessary but is available by the day less than 5 mins walk, over past the petrol station.
Distances
Sagres and the end of the world is about a 20 min drive west of town. The coast north of Sagres is spectacular and rugged.
Further details
There is a little supermarket just next door and 2 larger ones a few mins walk on the main plaza. The nearest internet cafe is at the end of the block. There are several banks in the main plaza, along with many restaurants with English service. The Indian restaurants are all quite good but the best place in town is the Australian run Thai restaurant Lemon Grass (cash only). Also the Argentinian 'Don Toro Steak House' is excellent. Oddly enough, there are lots of lingerie stores. The dolphin / grotto boat tours are a must see; check out the tour booths on the promenade along the river. There are charter yachts available as well as surfing and fishing excursions. The friendly guys at these booths can point you to almost any recreational activity you can imagine.
