Notes on accommodation
This property is ideal for both couples and children. We really have tried to think of everything you could wish for in a holiday home for both adults and children with air-conditioning and TVs in all the bedrooms. For the adults there are 3 ipod docks so you can bring your ipod and listen to your own music collection in any room. There is also a good selection of books should you run out of reading material - we are happy for people to use this as a 'book exchange service'. For the children we have a selection of DVDs and a toy box. There is a Graco travel cot suitable for babies and you can hire a high chair from our management agent. There is also a bicycle for those of you who wish to get a little exercise! The property has also been equipped with a modern alarm system for your security and the security of your belongings. The alarm system is linked to a call centre with 24 hour staff who can contact the emergency services for you in the unlikely event of them being required.
Outside
The property is accessed via electric gates and is totally enclosed by a stone wall so is very secure for young children. On entering the gates there is a cobbled driveway and car port to the side of the house. There are 2 terraces leading out from the living/dining area - one is equipped with an outside dining table for 6 and the other with an outside sitting area and Weber barbecue. Steps from here lead down to the pool area with 6 comfortable loungers. The pool is 9m x 5m and 1.6m deep at the deep end with pool heating available. From the pool area there are steps to the beautifully landscaped gardens (which are not overlooked) with palm and olive trees among the many plants and trees. At the side of the house you will find a stairway which leads up to the impressive 110sq.m roof terrace with its fantastic views of the Monchique mountains to the North and the Atlantic to the South. Terrace is now beautifully furnished with dining facilities for 6 and a Moroccan day bed.
Coast/Beach
The beautiful golden sandy beach of Meia Praia is a mere 1.5km away, this vast expanse of sand near wraps itself around one of the biggest bays in Europe. The wide bay offers protection from rough seas, which makes this long beach of soft, white sand particularly popular with families. Meia Praia is dotted with snack bars and restaurants and sports on offer include water skiing, paragliding, sailing and volleyball.
Golf
The villa is very close to Palmares Golf Course and Boa Vista and Pennina are only a 10 mins drive away so excellent destination for golfers.
The many courses of the Algarve are at your disposal.
Travel
Lagos is situated approximately 70km/50 minutes from Faro Airport. Car hire is recommended but if you want to get a taxi into the town the cost is only around 6 euros.
Further details
Lagos Marina is a mere 2 minute drive away and has a supermarket, bars, restaurants, ATMs. The town of Lagos is only a 5 minute drive away and has banks, a daily fresh fish market, artisan shops with pottery and clothing bargains and many small craft shops. The historic old town is steeped in over a thousand years tradition. Jugglers, craft markets and artists are common in the cobbled streets. The pedestrianisation of the town centre has been a major success and the town is very lively in the evenings. With its winding streets, it retains an old world Portuguese charm and relaxing atmosphere. The choice of cafes, restaurants and shopping is excellent. At night, Lagos comes alive with open air stalls and street performers. Lagos is particularly beautiful at Christmas time with twinkling lights on every plam tree and various festivals going on throughout December.

Guest comments
For the first time I have no suggestions, we thought the villa was absolutely stunning. It was really well equipped and had everything we needed for the week, we loved it. We also thought it was fantastic that the Villa was cleaned midway through the week, a really nice touch. Hopefully we'll be back to use it again sometime soon. Regards, Francesca. We arrived home yesterday and could jump on a plane and go straight back. The Villa is perfect in every way, the management staff, maid, gardeners, pool man all do you proud. Paul.
The best recommendation is that many of our visitors come back and can't wait to rebook for next year!
Owner profile
About the owner
We are in our 40's with 2 children, a girl aged 12 and a boy of 8. We went on holiday to Lagos in 2004 and loved it so much ended up buying an apartment in the Marina. In 2008 we decided that whilst we loved the marina apartment it was time to find something that offered us a little more space and flexibility of living accommodation and wanted the privacy of our own private pool. We view the house very much as a second home and visit it several times a year which is why we have furnished it to such a high standard and with so many items you would not find in your average holiday home; you can also be assured that standards will be maintained.
Hope to hear from you soon, Sam Meredith.

Why the owner chose a home in this location
We find that Lagos has lots to offer for all of us. My husband loves the great choice of golf courses (Palmares currently being extended), huge choice of restaurants and bars, marina, surfing and the new motor racing track. I love the weather, the beaches, the shopping (both in Lagos and at the various retail parks along the highway), the relaxed atmosphere, the history of the old town and of course the unbelievable choice in restaurants. My daughter loves the swimming pool, the beaches, dolphin seafaris, the water parks, the shopping, the ice cream parlours! My son loves the water parks, the zoo, the beaches, swimming, boat trips, sports shops and just about everything.
Unique benefits of the property
Modern property which has been decorated to a very high standard with TVs in every room, DVD library, Ipod docks, full Sky TV package including Sports, fully equipped kitchen, dining table for 6 (but can squeeze 8), selection of reading books.

Wonderful views of sea and mountains from the fantastic roof terrace with some very luxurious furniture including a Moroccan day bed. 5 minute drive to beach, marina, old town of Lagos and Palmares golf course, so perfectly situated and if you want to have a few drinks it only costs around 6 euros in a taxi.
