My husband and I spent an amazing week in this two bedroom villa and wished we could have stayed longer. Claire and Lou were excellent hosts and responded to all my emails, texts and calls within the hour. Claire was at the Villa to meet us upon our arrival and as soon as we walked in and saw that view of Old town Lagos with the backdrop of the sea and beyond we were hooked. Claire was so warm and welcoming and made us feel at home immediately. She has compiled a very thorough information binder on the operation of all things in the villa as well as restraunts and things to do in the surrounding area.
The master bedroom has a very comfortable queen bed, television & bathroom across the hall. The second bedroom has two twin beds, television and a ensuite bathroom. The living area is very nicely decorated and very comfortable. There is a 70" television with Netflix and many viewing choices, as well as a dvd library to choose from. There is an amazing wraparound balcony with views of the pool right below, the old city wall & town of Lagos & the sea beyond. There is also a sunroom off the balcony as an additional option with awesome views also.
There is an air conditioner if needed, but with the villa being on the third floor if the windows are open the breeze keeps it cool enough. Being from Illinois we couldn't get over being able to leave the windows open all night with no bugs or critters coming in! We really appreciated the elevator for hauling our luggage and groceries and the access to the pool was great also. We had it all to ourselves and although it was quite hot, there was a constant breeze.
We really enjoyed our time in Portugal and found the people to be some of the warmest we have had the good fortune to meet. We enjoyed everything about Old town Lagos....the Grotto tour, etc. We have been extremely blessed to have traveled extensively in Europe, Hawaii and the Caribbean, and we found Claire and Lou's villa to be one of the nicest and cleanest. We would love to return and will certainly recommend this villa to friends and family.
Thanks to Claire and Lou for sharing your beautiful home with us.
