Schönes Haus mit tollem Pool

Gut ausgestattetes Haus mit sehr schönem Pool und hochwertigen Gartenmöbeln. Nahe der Praia Piedade, Praia Camillo war bei uns gesperrt, Praia do Canavial ist nach ca. 15 Min. erreichbar. Schöne kleine Bucht. Die Stadt erreicht man nach 20 Min. In der näheren Umgebung Bautätigkeit.

Toller Standort, schöne Villa

Tolles Haus mit neuer, moderner Küche, tollem Pool. Die Betten sind super, das Mobiliar könnte modernisiert werden, ist aber völlig ausreichend. Leider muss die Poolheizung extra bezahlt werden. Das haus ist fußläufig gelegen am Ponta da Piedade und tollen Stränden. Man kann zu Fuß nach Lagos laufen, es ist aber gerade mit Kindern eine ganz schön weite Strecke. Es gibt aber auch gute Restaurants in der Nähe.

Close enough to town, short walk to great views

Property is located about a little over 1.5 km from town center (longer if you choose the scenic boardwalk). It is about 300 m from the entrance to Ponta da Piedade. All in it is well equipped and nice for a holiday get away. The owners/manager communicated excellently and were very responsive to all requests. If you are ok with walking alot (our preference) on holiday it is a great location. If you need to be close walking distance to everything you may not like the property. There is off street parking and there is parking lots, spaces, and a garage in town but I don't know how busy those areas would be over the summer. We did not use the pool as the outdoor temperatures were about 15-18 C. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Only recommendation to management would be to leave an extra kitchen garbage bag or two for renters.

Lovely property and stay

The villa was lovely and we had a great time. It is a bit tired, couple of broken draws, however we really enjoyed it - pool, BBQ, location, parking, spacious etc. The main issue I would say is the lack of communication with the agent as we must have replied a number of times to emails after booking and never got a response and then the same when we were there. A number of messages, one about the maid service had not been provided, and never got a reply. We did love it there though and it would suit a family really well.

Spacious Villa

We dealt with Algarve Accommodation, who were very good, excellent communication. The villa comfortably accommodated the 8 of us (6 adults, 2 children). Plenty of utensils, chairs etc. Set in a very quiet area, well away from the bustle of Lagos. The walk to and from town in the August heat was a little too much but lovely coastal walk with accessible, natural beaches very nearby. We all agreed the villa does really need some TLC. Pool area looking very sad, windows could do with upgrade etc. Also disappointing we had to pay 40 Euros to hire a travlecot for the week. After all, the child already is a paying customer and yet he had to pay extra for his own bed. Very unfair and unreasonable. We had lots of fun and an enjoyable stay but improvements needed.

Schöner Aufenthalt

Es waren schöne Ferien obwohl ein Bett etwas umgemütlich war, da das Gestell immer gequitscht hat. Und der Wind am Abend war etwas störend. Das Haus sonst war tiptop. Gute Ausstattung und genügend Platz bei 6 Personen. Das Meer ist tatsächlich nur 10min. entfernt und es hat schöne Buchten.

The most perfect week.

We had the most wonderful week in Casa Farol. The villa has everything you need. Excellent pool & outdoor area & perfectly comfortable inside. A great location to stroll into Lagos in the evening & early morning walks along the Ponta da Piedade are stunning. Highly recommend.

Lovely location

Casa Farol is in a great location. The villa is pleasant but is looking a little tired. Bedrooms are all a good size. Villa is advertised for 8 people but can only seat 6 at the dining table and we were 7. The kitchen was not suitably equipped. The oven seems to be quite old and extremely inefficient with only one shelf. I had to go buy baking trays. One burner on the stove top did not work. The pool is lovely and my grandchildren loved it, but it was expensive to heat -€200 per week. My summary would be.... Nice villa in need of some TLC in a lovely location. Fix the things I have mentioned and I would award 5 stars but as it stands I would give it 3.5 stars.

Sunsets and Early Morinng Walks

The villa is located in a quite area (although some large developments are underway) with easy access to Praia Dona Anna beach (10minute walk) and Praia Do Camillo ( 5 minute walk). The villa is spacious and as a group of 7 adults and a baby we found the villa very comfortable. The pool is fantastic, bbq a must and the varanda is great for wining and dining. Recently they have installed a network of clifftop boardwalks which are great for a stroll and easy walking if you have pushchairs. Lagos town centre is approximately 25 minute walk or an easy drive with plenty of free parking behind the marina. Or an Uber if you have the app. Enjoy!

Mainly good - couple of improvements needed.

Good house, agency and cleaning excellent but couple of pool issues that weren’t ever really resolved. House nice, very comfortable but oven needs updating as not man enough for the property and beware the patio tiles when wet which was frequent ax right next to pool. Lots of big building projects happening very close by which wasn’t a huge problem bug which wd should have been made aware of Otherwise all fine and a most enjoyable stay - checks goid and cleanjng staff excellent.

Avaliação geral

A experiência foi positiva e foi do agrado de todos. No entanto, tenho duas coisas a realçar, que poderiam ser melhoradas: a internet é muito fraca e os filtros da piscina não devem funcionar bem porque acumulava sempre muita sujidade.
