Villa Camillo - Amazing location and real luxury in Lagos

This property is absolutely amazing.The villa has been tastefully designed to extremely high standard's.Lots of time and thought has gone into this villa. In an exclusive estate.Everything and everyone in our family were catered for.Some traffic and building work but did not bother us.Kitchen had everything and more you need and even gave us dishwasher and washing tablets as well as plenty of oils,sauces etcMore than enough plates and cutlery,saucepans etc.Powerful showers and toilet flush.Garden beautiful,pool a good size for all to enjoy including the birds!A good quality table tennis table was very much enjoyedPlenty of areas to sit and relax on different levels of the villa.Good quality wifi and tvClose to some of the best walking wooden paths and beaches in the Algrave.Walking distance to town of lagos which has many bars,shops,markets and restaurants,a castle,churches and marina.I highly recommend.

This is a fantastic house in a great location. The house is clean, modern, and spacious with lots of natural light. The kitchen is well stocked, and the grill is a nice option for cooking outdoors. The air conditioning provided some welcome relief from the high outdoor temperatures, as did the swimming pool. We loved watching the birds stop by the pool to cool off.Our host was warm, welcoming a very responsive to any requests.The property is just a short walk from beach and the boardwalks that skirt the cliffs. It is just a 15 minute walk into town and a short drive to a nearby supermarket. The house sits in a small community of about 23 similarly designed modern homes.We really could not have asked for a better home for our family vacation.

Exceptional villa in great location, short walk to restaurants and beaches. Some of the outside chairs were stained and some had bird droppings on them, which we would not expect for such a high end villa. No-one was there to greet us or explain anything about the villa, air con, alarm, safe didn't work. I contacted agent, but struggled with the key box until a passing man opened it for us (he, it turned out was the agents boss!) everything very high tech, difficult to understand oven controls. Pool very chic, but very cold. Very spacious, ample seating areas. Quite a bit of sand blew in from nearby building. Had booking issues with VRBO, which were resolved after a lot of time spent on the phone.

Villa 5++ star Pool 2 star Location 3 star Local customer service 1 star The villa is fantastic with its contemporary design and super quality fixtures and fittings. The furnishings, kitchen, table and drinkware are all to a high standard making it a genuine home from home experience. The pool was cold. It looks stunning, with three sides having an infinity style design, but according to the pool guy this design makes it impossible to heat (the heating was off anyway). We like a fairly seamless transition from air to water, not a thermal shock, and we could only gawp with envy as the neighbouring villa electronically retracted its pool cover to reveal vapour wafting upwards from the heated water. We therefore didn't use the pool but the sea (Atlantic) felt warm by comparison. Service from the local representatives was poor. We'd pre-arranged to arrive at the villa at 18:30 and arrived exactly on time. The representative was present to let us in but she was waiting for the cleaner who had the keys to the bedding and towels. We had to hang around for an hour waiting for the cleaner to arrive. We wanted to use the safe provided but the representative didn't have the code. She advised she'd text us the code later that evening but we're still waiting for her text. Departure is at 10:00 and the representative should arrive at 09:30 for handover. At 11:00 we texted to find out where she was but we're still waiting for a response to that text too. We left and put the keys in the keysafe. There was some building work going on. We knew about the potential of that but it was still disappointing that work was from 7am to 7pm and that the vacant plot adjacent was used as the dumping ground for excavations resulting in a steady cloud of dust. Would we return? Probably not. Aside from the pool temperature the local vicinity isn't great (walk from villa to the Spar) and Lagos is disappointing so our quest for the ideal holiday location continues.
