Great family vacations

An absolute recommendation for this property. Home decor and equipments are a bit outdated but everything else is superb. The apartment is large, conveniently located (20-25 walk to the beach, bike rental is available in the area and highly recommended). The host is readily available and the check in/out process was swift. 5 stars

Carla our house rep and the apartment were amazing.

Firstly the apartment is set in an ideal location in the quieter end of Quinta do Lago. But within walking distance of the Shack restaurant. It is very well equipped with everything you need. Everything was spotless. Our rep Carla was fantastic.... any problem we had she immediately replied to we did not want to come back to the UK ! would highly recommend this property and having Carla as the house rep.

Lovely property perfectly located

Thoroughly enjoyed our time in this apartment. It’s perfectly located in a quiet area, close to the beach and local restaurants. 5 minutes drive to Vale do Lobo resort, 10 mins to the local town, 20 minutes drive to/from the airport. Parking space outside, air conditioning. Carla, the owner, is very friendly and easy to contact . Highly recommend for a family stay. We look forward to staying again in the future.

Great family break

We had a fabulous time in this beautifully clean, well furnished apartment. The apartment had everything we needed, is in a nice quiet spot, and was very comfortable in the evenings when the kids were in bed, either out on the balcony or indoors. Encosta do Lago was perfect for us, the pool is beautiful, with some fun areas for playing, and room for a proper swim if you want one. The tennis courts are well kept, and when we were there in early July it was easy to get time on court. We all enjoyed visiting the Shack, a short walk down the road with its little lakeside beach, and the huge range of water sports on offer. The inflatable course on the lake was a particular hit. The beach is a bit more of a walk, but is worth the effort (although there is a car park close to the beach if you aren't feeling like the walk). There is a good selection of restaurants to choose from, we didn't get to try them all by any means. The trip to Bovino wasn't the cheapest but its worth splashing out, the food was excellent and the service was ultra friendly. Carla was very friendly and quick to respond to all our queries. We can't wait to come back for another trip.
