| The Algarve region |
|
Think of the Algarve and you think of sunshine breaks and relaxing holidays. You imagine golden beaches on the coast of calm sea waters, sun-kissed tourists relaxing and sampling the delights that this wonderful region of Portugal has to offer.
Everywhere you go, you are surrounded by bright colours, from the golden sands, to the crystal clear waters, the clear blue skies, the vivid green grass, and the white-washed walls of the buildings in the Algarve's old towns.
There is no one best way to explore this region of Portugal. The seemingly endless coastline includes some of the world's most beutiful beaches, but by venturing just a few miles inland, you can lose yourself in the heritage and history of the Algarve.
Fancy a more action-packed holiday? The Algarve caters for all holiday makers... with every watersport available for all tourists. The Algarve is also home to some of the world's most famous golf courses, where players of all ability are welcome. You can also try your hand at a nice relaxing game of bowling, or tennis, with the Algarve's fantastic views and sights providing the perfect backdrop.

"Just a quick note to let you know that we could not have picked a nicer place to stay on what was our 2nd visit to Portugal. Your apartment is lovely, is in a good quiet location - situated within easy walking distance of Lagos town and the marina (even for a couple in there late 50's like us) and with all the mod cons provided it really did feel like home from home, without the rain of course! With the sea-views we made the most of the apartments sun-trap balcony and communal pool, which we often had to ourselves, and quite simply had a wonderful relaxing week, which is just what the doctor ordered. For those with young families and teenagers there are plenty of places to go and things to do, particularly at night when Lagos and the marina seem to come alive. We would have no hesitation in recommending your apartment to our family and friends, and hopefully will return one day ourselves".
Karen and Len Tomlinson: 11-18/07/09
"I have been to Lagos a few times before and I have friends who live in the area. The apartment is one of the best ones I have stayed in. The location is perfect as it is an easy walk into Lagos and because you are on the hill the views both from the apartment and from the pool are stunning - especially if there is a full moon! The apartment is very comfortable and well presented - I loved the voile curtains! I would definitely consider booking the apartment again and would recommend to anyone else".
Angie Dragisic: 04-11/07/09
"We really enjoyed ourselves in Lagos, everything we wanted from a holiday. The apartment is brilliant, loved looking out on the balcony to the sea watching the train go by. Had the pool to ourselves most of the time! Thanks again for renting us your brill apartment."
Gill and Bill Kelly: 20-27/09/08
"We would just like to say we had a truly wonderful two week holiday. The brochure pictures looked excellent but in reality it definitely surpassed our expectations. The apartment was very clean and tidy and well appointed with all the amenities you would require and more. The apartment is in a picturesque setting and it was a joy to wake up to the stunning sea views from the balcony. With Lagos town only a short walk away from the apartment there was plenty of activities, attractions and bars/restaurants to keep us occupied both day and night. We would definitely go back and would have no hesitation in recommending this property to friends and colleagues."
Derek and Gillian: 25/05/08-07/06/08
"We wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed your apartment. Joe and I had a great week. Good weather, good food and very good accommodation. I have got to say, your apartment ranks very highly with anywhere, and for us in the last few years it has mostly been various parts of America, you easily compare with their high standards. P.S. I loved the basin in the bathroom!"
Mary and Joe Donnelly: 01-08/09/07
"Just to let you know what a wonderful time we both had on our stay in your apartment. It met all our expectations; it is very well equipped with everything one would need. We really enjoyed the walks along the very good beach at Meia Praia and exploring the many streets in Lagos with lots of good restaurants, bars & shops - we haven't walked as much in ages! We would certainly recommend your apartment and use it again."
Des and Jackie Pye: 09-23/06/07
"We have had a wonderful 4 weeks at your excellent apartment. In the past we have rented 4 times in Lagos and yours was by far the best for location and facilities, and we hope to rent from you again in the future."
Pat and John Wood: 03-30/03/07
"The apartment was fabulous, in a great location and extremely well equipped with everything we could have wanted during our stay. We would hope to visit Lagos again in the future and you will be top of our list of places to stay".
Eoin Mills and Caoimhe O'Shea: 06-16/04/07
"A wonderfully relaxing holiday. Lagos town was a perfect all-round destination with great shops and restaurants. In the evening, Mum and I enjoyed a glass of wine and the sea views from your terrace".
Moira and Iris Dixon: 24-30/09/06.
"Thank you for letting us stay in you beautiful apartment. You have thought to provide everything required for the perfect family holiday. We would happily recommend it to anybody!"
Pam and Rob Furniss and family: 12-26/08/06
