Notes on prices
Prices are two persons per week in Euros. In the winter we like to warm up the house before clients arrive therefore we prefer more than 7 days. Special arrangements can be done for Christmas and New-Year. In the winter electricity is charged by reading the meter and we can also provide logs (at cost price) for the wood burner. An extra 10% is charged for extra person (maximum 2). We accept "civilized" dogs but charge 20.00euros for the extra cleaning!
Changeover day
During the high season Thursday is the recommended day for changeover. And in winter we only take 3 weeks stay unless the clients will be charged for 3 days previous heating.
Special arrangements can always be made, especially over Christmas/New-Year.

Accessibility
Lagos is a hilly town and the house is on three levels, therefore not suitable for people with mobility problems.

Fully equipped with table, chairs, armchairs, loungers and sunshade.
Barbecue. Lots of plants.
Coast/Beach
The nearest beach is under 10 minutes walk. Or a 5kms long in the bay, 10 minutes walk to it or over the river with a small ferry during the summer.
Many very good spots for surfing and windsurf and kiting.

There are plenty of golf clubs in the area. The nearest and best known is Palmares along the beach, under 5kms away.
Penina is 14 kms away. Boa Vista & Parque da Floresta to the West and Golf do Morgado to the East 17kms away.

You can either rent a car (not needed once you are staying in town !). There are good taxis and we can recommend one with English, French and German speaking driver. There are also trains from the down town Faro.

Sagres at the far West point is only 30 kms away and is the historic place from where the Caravelas started on their search to the route to India with Vasco da Gama in the XVIth century. Silves 25km the old capital of the Algarve. Monchique the highest point of the area, lovely vegetation.
Further details
Lagos is a small and busy fishing village and you can buy the catch of the day at the local market (33 fish mongers and 2 butchers!). Fish and fruit -vegetable markets are fantastic. Great place for "foodies"! The town has a lot of activities cafes and bars, restaurants, a good cinema (o.v.), museums, theatre, so it has life all year round.
Booking notes
To confirm a booking: once we have agreed on dates we request a 50% deposit and the other 50% 30 days before the stay. Payment can be done by private cheque or bank transfer to be arranged. In case of unforseen cancellation insurance usually helps.

Owner profile
About the owner
By 1992 most of the historical centre of town (where I have lived since the late 60') had become pedestrian and it was obvious that cars would have to be kept out of the streets. I also needed an extra storage for my work.
Eventually bought an old house, few meters from home, which I demolished to build a garage... Hence the existence of the "little pink house" ("wee house" as some of the regulars call it!).
It was a very exciting project, completely within my work & experience and it put me back on my feet after the sudden death of my Portuguese husband.
Why the owner chose a home in this location
With knowledge of the local climate through the year and the needs on a rental property for holidays I wanted to make sure it would be good enough for me if I had to live in it myself.
It is set in a very quiet environment, with pleasant local neighbours and my new husband and I (now both retired) make a challenge to keep it in prime conditions and assure that each of our guest have an enjoyable stay.
