A COTTAGE IN THE LAGOS COUNTRYSIDE

Amazing place for family vacay. We loved the house and the host is very nice and always ready to help. The house is very confortable, clean and had everything we needed.

We spent three weeks at this wonderful place with our dog. Mary is the perfect host, very friendly, caring and helpful. Our dog enjoyed the company of Leo and Tommy. It is the perfect place to relax and starting point for daily hiking activities around the southwestern algarve.

The house was very beautiful and quiet. Mary is living in the house near by and was super friendly and caring. We had everything we needed to cook something in the big kitchen and then eating on the terrace with a nice view over the rough landscape. It’s a very special place if you’re searching for a place to relax and watch the stars at night. Absolutely perfect!

The hot tub which we were looking forward to using, was indoors in the bathroom and when we arrived we were told that it wasn't working. A big disappointment which spoilt the holiday. When we saw the advert there was a TV but actually there wasn't one there (also disappointing) and we think it has now been removed from the description. The parking space is unlit so in the dark we had to leave the car headlights on to see where we were going until we could put the house lights on. The steps up to the terrace are unsafe. The first step is six loose breeze blocks placed on the ground, the second is a crumbly piece of garden wall and from there you step onto the grass before stepping onto the terrace. There is no handrail or anything to hold onto. The villa was spacious but basic, there were no bed headboards, stiff sundried towels, used dishcloth and sponge, missing wardrobe door, slippery shower floor when wet with no safety mat and shabby outdoor furniture. There is a solar farm next door which we didn't expect and it spoils the view. The owner was welcoming, friendly and helpful so it was hard to complain, plus we had nowhere else to go so we had to live with it.
