Perfect Holiday
Review Submitted: July 14, 2008
Date of Stay: June 2008
We are just back from 2 weeks spent at this 3-bedroom villa in Vale de Lama, which is in a quiet residential area overlooking the Alvor Estuary and the sea towards Meia Praia Beach - a short 3 min. car ride from the villa.
The large pool, landscaped gardens and outdoor dining area were immaculately maintained and very peaceful, with just enough shade and sun to please all. You don't need air-conditioning despite the heat as there is always a lovely Atlantic breeze and all doors have fly screens which mean you can leave them open and not be pestered by flies or mosquitoes during the day/night. We enjoyed several barbecues after getting all we needed from the well-stocked local supermarkets (Intermarche/Modelo/Pingo Doce) in Lagos. The facilities both inside and outside the villa couldn't be faulted and we can't wait to go again.
We also really liked Lagos which is a great mix of both modern and traditional where you can enjoy good restaurants, some shopping and other water activities that are on offer around the Marina - something for everyone. In nearby Portimao there is a retail park for more 'international shopping'. All-in-all, we recommend booking this particular property if you want a peaceful, secluded holiday in good quality accommodation near to a lovely town.
