Uma Casa a Beira Sol

We stayed here 6 days and five nights. This small boutique type hotel with only 15 units on the property exceeded our expectations in every way. The hotel staff, including Summer and Anais were so warm and kind, going out of their way to make sure we became familiar with the grounds, the Lagos area, town and beaches. The property itself is a calming garden oasis, surrounded by greenery, plants, flowers, grassy areas and a gorgeous pool, and each room was tastefully decorated and comfortable. About a 20 minute walk to central Old Lagos and 7 minutes to Praia Dona Ana beach, yet secluded from it all to provide that retreat feeling. Absolutely a wonderful stay and experience. If you have breakfast included in your stay, it is filled with tasteful options and the staff serves it is the small dining area, outside in the beautiful gardens, or even on a tray you can take to your room or patio.

Nothing, except through no responsibility of the property, many of the local beaches were overrun with algae on the sands and in the water. Unfortunate, but we still found some areas along the coast elsewhere with clean and gorgeous waters.

Nice secluded resort with beautiful garden. Apartments were really lovely. Staff were very friendly and helpful

Property and room were unique (or some might say quaint). It was reasonably quiet, well ventilated and brightly lit. As the weather was cool and damp we did not use the pool although it looked inviting. We did sit out for one day on the balcony when the sun shone - nice view. Walked to the old town and beach/boardwalks - all easy walking distances. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Kitchen and counter area were a bit small and could have been slightly better equipped. The WIFI was a bit finicky. If you are driving, there is no parking on site, it was available on the street but not always easy to find.

- very original character, ‘moorish’ style - the garden and the building style

- the TV is ridiculous small, 25cm Probably a computer monitor
