About this property

Peaceful hillside villa great ocean/mountain views,heated pool & Town 5 mins 6+2

There cannot be many villas in or around Lagos that combine all the following features with views to die for hence the name of our villa. Peaceful countryside location for utter relaxation,you literally could hear a pin drop! Panoramic views over the Bay of Lagos at the front; Monchique hills at the side and the village of Portelas at the back. Easy access to the splendid old town of Lagos with its multitude of restaurants and bars - just 1 mile to the very centre, less to the Marina, plus a private full sized pool (10m x 5m, heated if needed at extra cost) with spacious terraces, set in a lovely secure walled garden with large grassed area for ball games. Pool heating is available at a cost of £150pw and £50 preheat if needed. Please note the villa can only sleep 6 in winter as the annex doubles up as a winter sitting room. In the Summer there is an option to sleep 8 with the annexe at additional cost of 20% of rental agreement. This villa works very well for three generations of a family and also perfect for two families, due to the annex with two extra beds at extra cost. Very baby friendly, we provide all the kit to lighten your load - cot / play pen, high chair, digital baby monitor, steriliser and bottle warmer, even a few toys and a potty! New bathrooms recently installed and kItchen renovated, new windows and doors and electric shutters. All bedrooms have ceiling fans, just as effective as air conditioning in the hottest months and much more environmentally friendly and mosquito screens on all bedrooms to sleep with windows open as well. Our villa has been inspected and awarded it's tourist licence 4401/AL.
Free WiFi.

Recommend for Family Holiday
The outdoor property of the villa is magnificent! Lawn area for kids’ play, orange and lemon orchard, pool that can be heated for an additional charge and lovely gardens. Inside was spacious for 4 adults and 2 children. The Villa was cool in February but made comfortable with new heaters. We were charged in advance an extra fee for electricity for a party of six using the Villa in the winter months. The downstairs bathrooms have been updated and are spacious and comfortable. The upper level bathroom and quaint kitchen have not yet been updated. Great views overlooking Lagos out to the sea from the upstairs terrace. The Property Manager was always responsive and informative and rectified issues quickly.

We enjoyed the stay very much. The house has everything it promised. The children loved the swimming pool and it was worth the extra expense of warming it. The house is near amenities and Lagos’ vibrant restaurants and shops close by.

Wonderful villa in peaceful location
Wonderful villa in a very peaceful location but still close to Lagos town and marina! Great size pool and lots of outdoor space for you little one to play. The toys and floats were an added bonus! Super clean too and great communication with the owner and manager in Lagos. Would highly recommend to families and would not hesitate to rebook in the future. Thank you for having us!

Schön mit kleinen Macken
Die Villa ist schön und großzügig. Es gibt eine schöne Terrasse im Erdgeschoss. Dort sind auch alle Schlafzimmer, eine kleine Küche und drei Badezimmer (wenn man die große Version des Hauses bucht). Zwei Bäder sind ganz neu renoviert. Im oberen Stockwerk ist die „richtige“ Küche und ein großes Wohnzimmer mit einem Balkon, der einen schönen Meer- und Stadtblick hat. Die Küche ist ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen, aber gut ausgestattet, auch wenn Besteck und Geschirr ein großes Sammelsurium sind. Es gibt zwei Kühlschränke mit Gefrierfach, was im Sommer sehr gut ist. Der Pool ist sehr schön und es sind genügend Liegen da. Auch eine Wiese lädt zum Spielen ein, z. B. Volleyball oder Federball. Wir haben folgende Verbesserungsvorschläge/Informationen: - der Pool könnte einmal in der Mitte der Woche gereinigt werden, wenn es dauerhaft über 30 Grad hat. - wenn fremde Handwerker vorbeikommen sollte vorher Bescheid gegeben werden. - da die Villa recht abgelegen am Rande einer Gruppierung von Häusern liegt kann man keinesfalls in den Ort laufen: es ist zu weit und zu gefährlich. Der Kontakt zur Vermieterin war sehr nett. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können das Haus weiterempfehlen entweder für zwei Familien mit ganz kleinen Kindern oder eine Familie mit erwachsenen Kindern. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis mitten im August ist wirklich fair.

Wonderful!
We felt very privileged to have stayed at this glorious villa. The 3 directional views from the upstairs dining area are stunning and we enjoyed breakfast and evening meals up there. The pool area is large and has a lovely shaded seating area covered by a bougainvillea which we were delighted to find. There was an area for playing ball games with beautiful hibiscus and other lovely flowers. We were excited to find a huge selection of English books and somes games. including chess. The weather was perfect. Windy and sunny so we were pleased we had brought a jumper for the evening as the wind made the evenings cool. Perfect. Thank you! Oh yes! We saw Dolphins (book for a morning trip if you want calm seas) and took a speed boat to see the Benagil caves from Portimao which was beautiful. The walk along the cliffs near Carvoeiro was stunning and the jump from the rocks into the sea very scary!

Lovely first holiday as Grandparents
Excellent villa, peaceful but close enough to town. Lovely pool & garden area. A great kitchen & bbq area. Floats & toy box for the grandkids. A small hot water issue but fixed promptly. My only recommendation would be a stair gate. Highly recommended.

Ein tolles Ferienhaus in dem es an nichts fehlt. Über die Ausstattung der Küche kann ich nicht viel sagen, da wir im Haus nur gefrühstückt haben, dafür ist alles vorhanden. Der Pool ist top und mit der Poolheizung zu jeder Zeit warm. Super Kommunikation und Information. Einfacher check in und check out.

Heerlijk huis met zwembad
Prima week gehad in december. Extra betaald voor het zwembad om te verwarmen, maar dat was het zeker waard. Elke dag gebruik van gemaakt! Alleen een paar kleine verbeterpuntjes….. gasfornuis/oven is aan vernieuwing toe, stofzuiger werkt niet meer naar behoren en de koelkast sluit niet goed waardoor het stroomverbruik waarschijnlijk hoger is, zonde!

A peaceful and very comfortable villa in an ideal location. Some wonderful views and a lovely garden with almond trees and lemon and orange trees in the orchard.

We loved staying at this house. It was located in a quiet neighborhood overlooking Lagos yet was very close to the everything that Lagos has to offer - e.g., the marina, grocery stores, old town, restaurants, museums, the beach., etc. We spent 5 weeks there and loved everything.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Lambkin

Host profile image
The villa has been in our family for the last 40 years and we have adapted it throughout the years and love hearing how much people enjoy staying at the villa

Why they chose this property

We first visited the Algarve in 1979 and instantly fell in love with the area and the people. We first stayed in Carvoeira and considered buying there but sadly realised that this charming little fishing village was about to be swamped by development. We then explored further west and after several visits to the area decided that Lagos was sufficiently large and predominantly Portuguese to avoid being swallowed up by developments.
Then began the search for a villa nearby rather than in the town itself which can be noisy with barking dogs and late night bars etc.! We were extremely lucky in that the first villa sent to us was in just the right location, just 1 mile from the very centre of town with fantastic panoramic views of the ocean and mountains and yet in the peaceful countryside.

What makes this property unique

I doubt there are many villas in or around Lagos that combine convenience of access to the many shops, bars and restaurants the town has to offer, with such blissful peace and quiet. We sit gazing at the views for hours both day and night and never tire of returning to Miradouro. The children love the pool,which can be heated in early and late season at extra charge when the water temperature is a mite too chilly except for the most hardy. The villa is very baby friendly as we provide cot, high chair, monitor, bottle warmer, steriliser, even a few toys and a potty!
