We have recently returned from a relaxing break at this property in Meia Praia. We booked a 10 day stay with our 2 boys aged 14 and 8. The whole booking from beginning to end was so easy. Initially made an enquiry for 10 days rather than 7 or 14 which was fine with the owners. Communication was excellent we were able to reserve the dates for a couple of days so we could organise our flights. Payment was made by bank transfer and all booking confirmation and accommodation details and directions were sent straight away. We arrived a couple of hours earlier than the 2pm - booked in at the reception office and we were able to leave our suitcases at the property whilst it was being cleaned so,we could go to the supermarket Pingo Doce which is about 5-7 minute drive away, where you can get all you need. The house was immaculate, exactly as it is described - large living area, dining, kitchen well equipped for all your needs, dishwasher, washing machine. Large bedrooms with lots of storage space. Lovely terrace-BBQ . There are two pools one adult and one children's , which I would say is for young children (more toddlers up to about 5). We did speak to the staff about the adult pool if our 14 year old could use it as the childrens/family pool was just not suitable. they said we could take both children into the adult pool as long as they are well behaved and not too noisy. lots of parents did the same and it worked out well for us. If there were any adults coming in just to swim, our children would get out for a while, you do need to respect that it is an adult pool. but to be honest we were there in the middle of school holidays and the first 3 days we had the pool to ourselves, very quiet. We did hire a car, journey from Faro about 1 hour 10 mins. The marina is about 5 min drive, you can park anywhere down there. We did walk one eve to the old town which did take about an hour! Not ideal road to walk back in the dark tho. We took a cab back. Lagos town bustling, great restaurants, nice atmosphere. We found a beach called Furnas Beach which is just past Salema beach. It's a small cove, quiet and great for the children to swim. All in all we had a fantastic time, first time we have used owners direct and would highly recommend it. The house I would definitely go back, and have recommended to our friends and family. Shame we had to return home!
