About

Our family is Portuguese, however, we have lived abroad for many years. We've been coming to Meia Praia, Lagos for years as it was family tradition to gather up in the summer. We decided to design and build our house on family property which was completed in 2009. Our family for generations have gone to Meia Praia. We love the versatility of the Algarve and we try to come to Lagos as much as possible. We have been coming to Meia Praia for more than 30 years as there is so much to offer. Great beaches, great restaurants and an animated night life in Lagos town center is what makes us not go anywhere else on vacation. Unique benefits: Location and ocean views are key. The house is in a quiet residential area, yet close to town, but most importantly it is walking distance to Meia Praia beach. So fantastic view from the house. There are great beach restaurants along the beach, so if not up to driving to Lagos you can just walk for fresh seafood. It is perfect for who wants a relaxing, yet, diversified holiday.

This was a lovely property. It was nice and clean. Communication with owner was excellent and it was nice to meet Carolina on our arrival. It was a very quite area and very close to the beach (a short walk). We enjoyed our stay here, although we had a few days of cooler weather. The pool was clean and I would recommend this villa. A great area to stay in.

Thank you Marco for taking the time to write a review! You were great guests and you´re welcome back anytime! :)
It was great meeting you all!

This was our second stay at the apartment, on the basis it was so good first time round. We were not disappointed and enjoyed the facilities, the beach and the town. It was a very relaxed vacation in this well located, clean and well equipped apartment. We may well book again for the same time next year! Tim W. UK This was our first family holiday since the birth of our daughter and we also travelled with two friends, picking up a car upon arrival at Faro. We was looking for a quiet, private location with home from home comforts. The villa was immaculate, very homely, well equipped, wifi, private pool & BBQ area. The villa is located a few hundred metres away from Meia Praia beach approximately one mile out of Lagos and we frequently walked into town/harbour in around 20 minutes. There are beach bars and restaurants in the local area too. We also had numerous BBQs at the villa since the weather was perfect and filled our time relaxing, dolphin watching, a visit to the local zoo and of course playing a little golf. The owners (Carolina) was a pleasure to deal with and we would highly recommend this villa to anybody looking for a peaceful holiday, the serenity and local birdlife topped off the holiday too. Hopefully we will be back at some point in the future. Ian K. UK A warm welcome awaited us, a friendly smile & an ice cold bottle of rose. The villa was more than we expected, beautifully decorated & highly maintained. So comfortable & homely, no expense is spared on furniture. Beautiful location just across the road from the beach & 5 mins walk from the marina in Lagos. Very close to beach bars. Very professional friendly family who own this villa who cant do enough to help. You can contact them any time if you have any problems. I highly recommend this villa, & hope your stay there is as fantastic as ours. Joanne and Paul G. UK

What a beautiful apartment. We felt at home immediately. The views are great. Breakfast on the balcony watching the sunrise. Sunset on the amazing roof terrace with a glass of wine or a gin and tonic Such a relaxing holiday. We have been to Lagos several times before and it is a really good place for a holiday, particularly out of the main season. When we were there all the beach bars were open. A particular favourite was Bar Quim, but they were all ok. Great to have the beach so close. There is a huge selec tion of restaurants in Lagos itself and we ate lots of really good food. There are buses into town but its not too far to walk. About twenty minutes and plenty of street lights on the way home. Carolina and Susanna were very helpful and friendly and the apartment was spotlessly clean. Really hope to be able to return. Adrianne J. UK Stayed here for a week at the end of October. We rented the upper floor of the property and we absolutely loved it. It was better than we anticipated, photos cant really do it justice. The living area was very tastefully furnished and very comfortable. Both bedrooms were equally nice with extra large beds and impressive shower rooms. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped, everything we needed was there. The balcony which runs the length of the living room and one bedroom was perfect for relaxing and eating meals with a stunning view of the coast and the star of the show for us was the spacious roof terrace with built in barbecue, sink and even a fridge. An amazing, private, place to relax with views right along the coast. The area was incredibly relaxing with a beautiful beach and several nearby restaurants but it was an easy walk into Largos town - we usually caught the train back, very easy to do, costs a little more than a pound and Maia Praia station is a 5/10 minute walk from the property. This was our first visit to the Algarve, we really enjoyed it but the property made all the difference - thank you to Carolina and Susana for a warm welcome and for providing a lovely place to stay. David L. UK My partner and I stayed at the Villa Meia Praia in June 2012 on the top floor flat. Tastefully decorated and absolutely immaculate, our favorite feature was the balcony with its gorgeous views onto the ocean. We enjoyed a glass of wine nearly every evening whilst lazying in the hammock. The deck chairs came in handy when it was too windy to enjoy the beach.The bathroom and kitchen were very clean and tidy and the friendly landlady was always happy to help and recommend restaurants and beaches in the area. The area we stayed in is very quiet at night, and we truly loved our holiday as the villa made our stay a lot more intimate with its personal touches, than staying in a hotel room which can be a little soulless. Weve already planned our next stay for August 2013. Highly recommend it! Nathalie T. UK The Algarve is full of nice beaches and this place was perfect for a relaxing break. It only took a couple of minutes walking to get to the beach. The property is very clean, comfortable and quiet. The owners are courteous and manage things hands-on, so everything went smoothly and I basically had nothing to worry about while there. Overall it felt like staying at a top class resort. Roberto F. Italy We had a fantastic time at Villa Meia Praia! Not only is the beach on your doorstep but youre also within walking distance of Lagos where you can find great restaurants, bars and shops. Its the perfect place to relax and unwind, with sea views and in a quiet area. For the more adventurous guests, there are nearby water activities available as well as a varied nightlife in the town centre. Lucy E. UK
