Great Location in Lagos

Enjoyed our stay in Lagos and the location of this apartment was wonderful. We could walk to all the restaurants and attractions in the town of Lagos. Celia provided us with very detailed directions to the apartment and where to park. She even provided YouTube videos on how to operate the washing machine and dishwasher. We were also able to park for free near the city wall and take day trips to the other towns along the coast such as Sagres and Tavira. Definitely recommend this apartment if you want to stay in town. Lagos is a good base for traveling along the Algarve coast.

Fabulous Lagos Retreat!

This apartment was even better than advertised. It was clean, very well appointed, perfectly located just inside the old city wall but far enough from nightlife action that we were not bothered, and cloae enough to all the beaches that it never felt too long a walk or a chore to get there. In addition, just down the hill were fabulous restauranys, a very well equipped convenience store and a most fabulous bakery. The pharmacy is a few steps beyond these amenities and the staff there are wonderful too. 10 minutes walk above the apartment is a great grocery store, InterMarchē. In the house Celia provided a beach umbrella, beach chairs, shopping bags, just everything we needed. We highly recommend this VRBO.

Nice Stay

We rented this apartment for one week during our month long Portugal vacation. The apartment was very clean, efficient and worked well for us. The owner was great to deal with and communication was top notch. This is a perfect location if you want to explore the southern coast of the country. Staying within the walls of the city made for a quaint experience that was enjoyable. The apartment is conveniently located to many restaurants and shops.

Sardine House - Lagos

We rented this accommodation for two weeks on the back of excellent reviews, and we were not disappointed. The apartment was spotless, well decorated and had all the facilities we needed - my wife loved the washing machine! It is ideally located, just a few minutes' walk into Lagos town, but far enough away so as not to be disturbed by the noise. It is also close to the beach and the marina. The facilities were as described, and the apartment has everything you could possibly need. The two bedrooms are spacious, with plenty of wardrobe space. The bathroom and shower are wonderful. The only small point I (well my wife) would make us that there isn't a full length mirror. The WiFi speed is lightning fast, and made me green with envy! The TV/IPTV package looked really good, but we didn't use it, as we both had tablets. There is a balcony overlooking the street, and it was lovely to sit out having breakfast, and watching the world go by. There is also a rooftop terrace, which although small, gives you amazing views. We didn't use it, as we are beach people. The property manager was very helpful, and responded quickly when I contacted him about replacing the gas cylinder. Overall, Sardine House is a great place to stay, and I would thoroughly recommend it. If we come back to Lagos again, we will definitely check the availability for it.

Minutes from the best bars and restaurants in town

This is a very well located, spotlessly clean apartment. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could possibly need. It is located on very narrow cobbled streets in the old town part of Lagos. It can be quite noisy at night with cars and people walking past but having air conditioning in both bedroom means you don’t have to open windows to be able to cool down and sleep. The apartment directly below is in the early stages of being renovated during the day and it can be noisy but this doesn’t start early or finish late and is only during the week. There is so much to do in this charming place that we were in and out most of the week. The roof terrace gives a fantastic view of the sea and Marina and gives you a chance to appreciate where you are and what a fantastic place this is. The town centre has a great feeling of being family friendly and the marina offers a multitude of great boat trips with anything from Dolphin watching to day trips to Alvor. There is a small market with numerous stalls selling a wide variety of mainly clothing which has great variety. Restaurant wise there is everything you could possibly need from Italian in the main square, Dynasty for a Chinese meal with a sea view or many family restaurant selling fantastic fish dishes. There are many street musicians earning a living as you shop or dine so there is music always on tap. My wife and I loved it and couldn’t recommend it highly enough....

Great apartment, excellent location

The apartment was lovely, in a perfect location. It was very clean and had everything needed for a perfect stay, including dishwasher and washing machine. The shower was great and the bed was comfy. It has a small roof terrace, with two sun loungers, there is no shade up there and it did get very hot in the afternoon sun, but was perfect from about 4.30pm onwards, and there are lovely beaches within easy walking distance. There are bars, restaurants, mini markets and bakeries, less than a couple of minutes walk from the apartment. During our stay there was heavy building work going on in the apartment next to us, so the weekdays it was very noisy (this is not a complaint as we appreciate this is totally out of the owners control), but over the weekend the area was very quiet and although there were bars very close by you couldn’t hear any noise from them. The booking process was quick and easy and correspondence with the owner was clear and concise. The meet and greet at the apartment was seamless. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly book again if we were staying in Lagos.

Lovely lively Lagos

Hidden in the old city this condo was difficult to find, but worth the effort! We enjoyed the great location. Can get a bit noisy at night, but just for short periods of time. Had coffee on the little terrace and watched the cars try to navigate the tiny street. Wear comfortable shoes and enjoy all Lagos has to offer. Great waterfront, restaurants, boat tours to the caves. Visit Luz and Sagres. We enjoyed!

Wonderful Apartment

We just finished a three month stay in Celia‘s apartment. We loved the apartment and all its amenities. Celia is very responsive and easy to work with. The location is unbeatable. We travel by bicycle so we were able to bike or walk everywhere we needed to go. The train station is just a short walk away giving you access to other towns along the Algarve. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our own meals, the beds were very comfortable, and the shower was super. It was very nice to have a washing machine and dishwasher. We were not able to take advantage of the small outdoor patio due to cool weather in December and January and then the apartment was getting painted so they tarped over all of our windows and outdoor space. Otherwise, it would be a lovely spot for morning coffee. It is a very quiet neighborhood. We moved from the double bedroom to the twin bedroom due to the motion detector light outside the double room window. A good solid black out curtain could solve that though. There is plenty of storage and we were able to keep our bicycles secure in an outdoor spot attached to the apartment. I would highly recommend this apartment and will definitely visit again if we return to Portugal. Thanks for a great stay, Celia.

Large, confortable appartment in great location!

The apartment was very roomy, clean and within walking distance of many great restaurants and landmarks. We had everything we needed for our stay, a nicely equipped kitchen, a washing machine and free parking close by. The bed was comfortable. The only thing that was a bit bothersome was the security light outside the master bedroom window that kept turning on when people or cars went by, which illuminated the whole bedroom. A better, room darkening blind would be a nice addition!

Beautiful well equipped apartment in an ideal location

We really enjoyed staying in this beautiful apartment. It is very well furnished with beautifully stylish furniture. The walk in shower is lovely. The location is perfect. It’s right on the heart of the Old Town with numerous restaurants literally round the corner. Because it’s so central there can be some noise at night but nothing that bothered us too much. The river is five minutes walk and the marina and beaches ten minutes walk away. We had a great time and highly recommend this lovely apartment.
