About this property

Apartment With Stunning Lake And Garden Views

Delightful second floor(top) apartment in the beautiful Lakeside Village, Quinta Do Lago. It has all modern amenities and is furnished to a high, comfortable standard. It has full air conditioning. It probably has one of the best views over the lake. The bedrooms are very comfortable and furnished to a high standard, the master bedroom has an en-suite. There is a separate guest shower room opposite the second bedroom. The kitchen has all modern appliances. The living area has very comfortable sofas and a flat screen TV which has all the UK channels including Sky Sport channels. There is also free internet access. There is a dining table with 6 chairs should you wish to eat indoors. The apartment is within walking distance of the beach which has miles of uninterrupted sand. There are beautifully maintained private landscaped gardens and a pool area solely for the use of residents. This area overlooks the lake. There is also a little snack bar area for the sole use of guests at the pool which also has wifi access. It borders the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve which boasts many different species of birdlife. This is particularly enjoyable for those that like walking. There are many golf courses nearby and is in close proximity to San Lorenzo, three Quinta Do Lago courses and Pinheiros Altos. Other activities nearby are riding stables, bicycle hire and of course private tennis courts for the use of residents. It is also a short walk to "The Campus" which is a state of the art sports facility( tennis, padel, bike hire, outdoor pool, pitches and high end gym facilities. It also has an excellent restaurant called "Danos." The property has a patio area with a lovely table and chairs for dining "al fresco" and sun-loungers ( all with cushions) accessed from the living area which overlooks the lake and garden area. There is also a watersport facility a short walk away. This is set beside the exclusive "Casa Do Lago" restaurant. There is a lovely less formal bistro type restaurant, if you prefer next to it, called "The Shack". They are both located on the lake and a 5 minute walk away. Please note, preferred check in and check out in high season is on a Friday or Saturday or at the owner's discretion.

Lovely apartment fantastic location
I stayed at this lovely Lakeside Apartment for the second time with my family and we had a wonderful time. The apartment is very well equipped and has a stunning view of the lake from the balcony. It is also close to the beach, lake activities, Ria Formosa, and several good restaurants. The owners are very responsive and helpful, we had a fabulous time and definitely will visit again.

Fabulous apartment in a great spot.
This is our second visit this year to Hilary’s apartment and both times we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment is well equipped, comfortable, very homely and in a great spot. The views from the balcony over the beautiful gardens, pool and lake are fabulous. The swimming pool was never too busy and we never had an issue finding a sun bed and shade if we needed it. Hilary is a wonderful host and responded quickly to any queries. We would highly recommend Hilary’s apartment and look forward to returning again sometime in the near future.

Really well appointed apartment
We were in The Algarve for my son’s wedding. We needed an apartment from a Tuesday to Tuesday. This wasn’t ideal for the owner, but she graciously accepted our request as it was a special occasion. Hillary was always responsive to questions or comments. It was probably one of the best appointed apartments we’ve stayed in - often on your first shop you have to pick up dishwasher tabs, kitchen roll etc etc. None of that needed here. Everything stocked in plenty. Sadly, never had time to have a dip in the very large pool. Easy parking across road. If you don’t fancy hiring a car then taxis/Ubers are plentiful and not expensive. Aircon very effective. Bear in mind that on the top floor of three so be mindful of your suitcase weights. All in all a great stay in a great apartment.

Fantastic Apartment & Location
Cannot say enough about Lakeside Village in Quinta Do Lago. We had a fabulous time as a family of 4 (3 generations). The apartment was perfect. Great location, great facilities and a great apartment giving everything you need. Helped of course by great weather. The VRBO process was impressive (1st time I have used it) and dealing with the owner worked really well and was extremely helpful before, during and after.

Great Property!
We had a great stay in this property. Check in and check out was extremely easy thanks to great thorough communication from the owner and the property was exactly as pictured with great views and access to the lake. The location in QDL is fantastic with a great choice of restaurants close by as well as the lake and beach. I would very much recommend!

Beautiful location with stunning views
Had a very relaxing week in the apartment, very comfortable with gorgeous views from the balcony. Plenty to see and do in a short radius and some excellent restaurants within walking distance. Loved the area at Quinta, the nearby beach was endless white sand and the pool area never crowded. Wouldn’t hestitate to return. Hilary was a delight to deal with over the booking, very helpful and made the process quick and easy. Hope to return!

Lovely Apartment
We have just had 11 nights at this apartment (2 adults 2 kids 10&12) and it was perfect in every way. It is done out to a very high standard and very equipped for everything we needed. Lake side village is a lovely little complex & the pool area is great, never being to busy at any time of the day. The activities on the lake are brilliant for kids and adults along with the shack that serve great food & drinks and all just a short walk away. I would highly recommend this apartment we had a lovely relaxing holiday.

Nicely presented property in a good location with easy access to a variety of activities. Only downside was eagerness of cleaners to get into property on day of checkout, turning up half hour early.

Beautiful property, beautiful location - perfect!
Beautifully decorated top floor apartment, with gorgeous views across the lake. Plenty of room for two adults and two children. Great base for exploring the area; the best bars and restaurants in the area are very close by and a great sandy beach is a 15 minute walk through the nature reserve or a 5 minute drive. Couldn’t have found a better place to spend two glorious weeks - we loved it and will definitely be back! Thank you Hilary and Grant 😃

Fantastic apartment & holiday
The apartment felt like home and was so well equipped. It was spotless and furnished to a very high standard and the beds were soooo comfortable! We enjoyed sitting on the balcony admiring the views and just loved Lakeside Village and the surrounding area. An easy walk to the beach every morning with a coffee at The Shack on the way back. We were there for a wedding but still had time to find fantastic restaurants- The Alambique and Maria's. Hilary was a pleasure to deal with and we will most definitely be back!

A super apartment in perfect location
This was our first visit to Portugal and our first holiday with our 7 month old we really couldn't have hoped for a better holiday everything was perfect! The apartment was just lovely, immaculately clean, tastefully furnished, equipt with everything you could require and to top it off a balcony with a stunning view perfect for an evening gin and tonic! The communal swimming pool is lovely plenty of sunbeds and a great little pool bar run by Pedro and family who couldn't be more helpful. The location and surrounding area is excellent, we started each morning with a walk through the nature reserve to the beach and ended most days in one of the fabulous restaurants just a short walk away. Thank you so much to the owner Hilary for making everything hastle free, we will most certainly be returning to your beautiful apartment hopefully very soon!! Mark, Rebecca & Edward x

Portuguese Delight!
We could not have asked for a better week away.The weather was sunny and warm (around 25*C) and the apartment provided everything that we could have needed in a quiet, beautifully maintained setting. It was just so peaceful sitting out on the balcony enjoying the sun and the view with a drink in hand! The owners have clearly put a lot of time and effort into making their apartment a home from home and they ensured that our stay was a memorable one. There are lots of activities close by and too many restaurants to choose from, both on site and in and around the Almancil area. You can literally do as little or as much as you like..... But if you are looking for some time away to relax and recharge your batteries then you will be hard pressed to find a better location and apartment than this ....it is highly recommended!

Excellent stay in a lovely apartment
We have just spent a fantastic 2 weeks in this apartment. The facilities in the apartment are excellent, everything is very clean and well maintained. It has a modern but homely feel. The surrounding gardens and pool were kept immaculate. The location was perfect for us with a young family - 5 minutes walk to the Shack - a lakeside bar/ diner. Our children (9 and 11 years) loved the safe beach there. It's located about 20 minutes drive from Faro airport and about 15 minutes walk from lovely restaurants, golf courses and shops. Hilary was so helpful when booking the apartment and went the extra mile to make sure we enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend staying here. Thank you Hilary and Grant.

A fantastic apartment set in a special place!!!
This is a fantastic apartment set in a great location. This was our first holiday with our 9 month old boy and couldn't have chosen better. The apartment was in excellent condition with everything that a young family required. The weather was fantastic and could not fault anything. So many excellent bars and restaurants to suit all tastes and I would like to thank Hilary for making this experience so delightful - we will be returning in the near future for our next holiday.

About the host

Hosted by Hilary Williams

Host profile image
We are a non smoking couple with a grown up family. We enjoy golfing and walking and this part of the world is the perfect place for us as it has a lovely climate all year round. We also enjoy travelling to different parts of Portugal and Spain and this is an ideal location for that. The apartment suits us as we are quite happy sitting on the balcony, switching off whilst looking at the fish jumping out of the lake....quite often with a lovely glass of wine in our hand!

Why they chose this property

This property ticked all the boxes for us. We deliberately furnished it to a high standard with all the modern conveniences, including air conditioning. We wanted it to be a home from home. We had looked at a few properties but as soon as we walked into this one, the views sealed it for us. We liked the idea that we weren't overlooked and much preferred a top floor as you have the best of everything. Very peaceful! Everyone immediately relaxes when they come in the door. It is also easily accessible from the airport so no long journeys when you land! You can choose to be as active or inactive as you want! We love walking along the beach and then sitting having a sundowner, watching the sunset. We also enjoy being so close to some of the best golf courses in Europe.

What makes this property unique

There are many benefits to this property. It is in a great location giving the flexibility to do as much or as little as you want. It is very comfortable. There is plenty of space in the fitted wardrobes in each bedroom. Basically it has everything you could possibly need for a great holiday! Yes, we do love it!
