About this property

Villa Camillo - Amazing location and real luxury in Lagos

Villa Camilo is a contemporary luxury villa located in an exceptionally beautiful location on the headland of Ponta da Piedade and within walking distance of Lagos.

The villa is finished to a very high standard with stone floors, soft rugs, comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, a gas fire, high spec kitchen, an infinity pool and rooftop hot tub with sea views. Each bedroom is ensuite with a terrace. Living and sleeping areas are set out over one level.

Outside there are a number of separate terrace, roof and garden areas for private relaxation and sun lounging, an infinity pool with views to the sea and a gas BBQ area.

Surrounding the villa are the most stunning beaches, golden cliffs and rock formations in the Algarve including Camilo Beach (4 min walk) (hailed by the Huffington Post as the most beautiful beach in the world!), Praia de Dona Ana (10 min walk) the Ponta da Piedade lighthouse and cliff boardwalk (9 mins). The villa is only 20 minute walk from the centre of historic Lagos.

The location is the starting point of some of the most beautiful walking, running and cycling pathways in Portugal and an ideal base for golf and water sports.

The nearest restaurant is the excellent seafood restaurant, O Camilo, (2 mins walk) but there are many others within walking distance and a huge choice around Lagos.

Please Note: There is construction work being carried out in the area but guests have reported little/no disruption.

Lagos villa
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.

Great holiday home
Really good holiday home near Lagos. Top quality property just as impressive as the pictures suggest. Great for families and/or friends. Very nice pool area, with the bonus of a hot tub on the roof. The local area has a lot of construction, but this was never loud or disruptive. It's about a 20 minute walk into the centre of Lagos with some great restaurants on the way. Would definitely stay again!

Fabulous stay
House is gorgeous and sizable. Short walk - very short- to beach and boardwalks to view coastline. Lovely town with lots of great restaurants and beautiful golf courses in the area. We will be back.

Family holidays in Portugal
We had a wonderful time staying at Villa Camillo - as our 1st trip to the Algarve. Villa was just as beautiful as listing and the surrounding area was so convenient and easy for beaches, restaurants and interesting activities. We did Sea kayaking locally which was a perfect way to see the coast and enjoyed several beach trips. Our local agent Maria was so helpful on local restaurant bookings and activities as well needs in the house - like extra towels or bike pumps - she was brilliant. We loved the relaxing space and beautiful arrangement of the house with lots of different terraces /places to eat and relax as well as gorgeous pool and hot tub. Even with some building works nearby (which we were totally expecting so not a problem) it was just such a relaxing and wonderful holiday at Villa Camillo. Thank you

Superb Villa
We had a fabulous 1 week stay, Villa was spacious and well equipped. Pool on the same level as living area was great. Perfect location. There are building works nearby but they did not encroach on our enjoyment. The property manager Maria was extremely responsive and any issues were delt with quickly and professionally. Would happily return to this Villa!

Perfekt!
Sehr grosszügig, elegant, Bauhausstil, Fensteraussichten auf einen Infinitypool , das Meer und eine wunderschöne Frühlingsblumenwiese sowie ein mediteraner Garten, der im Eingangsbereich futuristisch, puristisch ist. Es blieb kein Wunsch offen! Jederzeit wieder!

Traumvilla zum Entspannen
Wir genossen unseren Aufenthalt in dieser schönen Villa mit Liegeterrasse und erhöhtem Pool mit Sicht auf die Landschaft und das Meer! Besonders auch den Wirlpool auf dem Dach! Es hat alles wunderbar funktioniert und die Betreuung war für alles besorgt. Einziger kleiner Störfaktor war die Baustelle hinter dem Haus.

5 star villa with shortcomings
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.

The villa is very comfortable (6 in our party), beautifully designed and is well appointed with views and access to beaches and town. The centerpiece is the elevated infinity pool.
