Fabulous view, friendly locals

This a spacious apartment in a excellent location. We found it was immaculately clean and very well equipped.
There were lots of nice extra touches, such as a CD player, which made it feel homely, without being "fussy".
Being slightly outside, but close to, the town walls make it an easy stroll into the lovely old town, with all its bars, night-life and quaint little streets. However, if preferred, in the evening one can sit on the balcony, sip a glass of wine and enjoy the fabulous views across the bay.
The beaches of Pinhao & Dona Ana are in easy walking distance. The walk along the cliff to the lighthouse at Ponta da Piedade is fabulous, and not too far. Don't forget your hat & sun cream though!
It's fair to say this is an ideal location for the keen walker (or in our case - strollers). You certainly don't need a car. The train and bus stations are about a 20 minute walk and public transport is efficient and cheap. The train fare from Faro to Lagos is only 12.80 Euros return!
If you don't want to stay right "on the strip" and enjoy mixing with the locals (who are extremely friendly), this is the ideal place.
