Just back from a fabulous holiday in Antonio's apartment. We loved everything! The instructions on how to get there were excellent and we received a detailed PDF with instructions before we arrived. The apartment was perfect ... clean, fully equipped kitchen, close to pool, beach and shop (all a few minute walk away). We hired a car which would be preferred but depending on your circumstances you could taxi everywhere easily. The beach restaurants are fantastic (would recommend Praia de Galé).It's approx 10 euros for an Uber to Armação de Pera. We loved O'Tasca. António is an excellent host and always answers any questions quickly. I would highly recommend this apartment. My son played golf in Salgados. It offers excellent rates for juniors. My daughter loved using the gym. It does great packages. Thanks for everything António.

It was an absolute pleasure hosting Sarah. She was a truly wonderful guest, friendly, respectful, an excellent communicator, and she and her family looked after the apartment as if it were their own. Hosts couldn't ask for better guests. I'm delighted that they enjoyed the apartment, the Salgados area, the golf, the gym and the beach, and that the information I sent before their arrival helped make their holiday as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Thank you once again for choosing my apartment. Sarah and her family will always be most welcome, and I hope to have the pleasure of welcoming them back to the Algarve in the future.

Herdade dos salgados

Just returned from a lovely stay at Antonio’s apartment. Apartment is excellent, has magnificent balcony entire length of property and looks onto pool area. You will find everything you need in the apartment to have a good holiday. Complex itself is very well maintained and secure. Would love to come back again but next time would definitely hire a car to help get around a bit more as choice of restaurants etc limited by location. All in all a great family holiday.

Fantastic!!

2nd time staying at Vilas Dos Lagoas and didn’t disappoint!! The apartment has everything you require for a great self catering holiday. The resort was a little quieter as we go into the low season but that did not spoil our enjoyment. As others have said you do need car hire for this location but there are plenty of dining out options in the surrounding area. Thanks to Anthony and Joao who took care of everything from initial contact to arriving at the apartment!! See you next year.

Absolutely perfect, highly recommended

All I can say is WOW! The apartment is truly 5 star on all aspects, particularly location, facilities and decor and made our first stay in Portugal really special. We hired a car and found it with ease following the instructions we had been sent before our visit. We had 5 people in the apartment and never felt overcrowded; it is very spacious. The pools and grounds are well maintained with plenty of sun loungers all day. There is a pool bar/restaurant that serves food most evenings and Mama Mia and Belavista Italian restaurants are a short walk away and highly recommended. There is a lovely cocktail bar above the main reception that has great views and definitely worth a visit! Antonio made the whole booking process very easy and Miguel was friendly and helpful on our arrival and throughout our stay. I would recommend this property and really looking forward to our next stay! Karen & Family

Magnifique séjour!

L’appartement ainsi que le domaine de la Vila das Lagoas sont impeccables. Le propriétaire, António, même sans être présent physiquement, était facilement joignable via la messagerie de VRBO. Il répondait rapidement à nos demandes ou questions. Il nous même dépanné un soir où nous étions dans une situation inconfortable. Notre fille et petite fille, de passage pour quelques jours, ont elles aussi très apprécié leur séjour avec nous. Lorsque nous retournerons à dos Salgados, nous espérons pouvoir retourner à cet appartement.

Just as gorgeous as the photos, Hospitality A+!

We had an incredible stay at Antonio's apartment. We had a very late arrival and Antonio's apartment manager, Joao came to meet us and check us in. The bottle of wine, fresh bread, cheese and pastries was a real treat after a late arrival and no place to grab a bite to eat. Joao was very helpful and responsive. We really appreciated the local tips and hospitality. The place is just as gorgeous as in the photos and had everything we needed for the week! We definitely made good use of the kitchen! We absolutely recommend renting a car so that you can enjoy all the incredible beaches along the Algarve. We ventured all the way up to Lagos - watching the sunset at Ponta da Piedade and enjoyed the loveliest dinner after at Real Portuguese Food in Lagos town. Out favourite beach was Falesia, it was the most family friendly with sunbeds just a few metres from the water and calmer waves for our 10 year old to enjoy! We also had a great time at the Slide and Splash water park. Thank you Joao and Antonio, it was an unforgettable week and we could not have felt more at home during our stay!

Amazing holidays again!

Returned from our second visit to Herdade dos Salgados with family and kids... The experience was just as good as our first. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable with a huge double bed in ours. Wonderfull place, plenty of choice to spend time playing with the kids, and beach is just a few meter from home, you can walk there! Location is perfect, facilities are great and very clean. I would recommend this apartment to anybody. Look forward to return again soon. Many tks to Antonio and Joao, they were there all time available, concerned in make our holydays unforgetable one more time providing a great service. tks Carol D p.s.

Perfect - great time for young family

loved my holiday staying in the apartment. My Wife and 2yr old son had a great time. Big comfortable living conditions overlooking pools and walk to beach. The appt. Its hard to describe the complex as they do not appear to be homes nor hotel sort of middle ground. Arrived quite late and the owner had left some bread and cheese which was a nice touch as it was not expected. I have stayed in a number of holiday apartments and in the majority of times the immediate reaction is a little disappointed as there has been artistic license with the photo's (made to look bigger etc.) However in this case the opposite was true the photo's do not do it justice. The apartment is as nice as the photo's show -comfortable living room with Cable TV (with some English channels), fast WIFI and kitchenette. it was really comfortable, my son sleeps for a couple of hours during the day and bed at about 730 so it was important to have a space where we could relax in the meantime and this really delivered. Area- the complex has loads of pools and we sent a couple of hours a day by the smaller child pool. It was May so there was us and a handful of families there only (bit busier at the weekend). Very clean well organized, there were loads of empty sun loungers so perhaps it gets busier during School holidays. Could not ask for more (... perhaps a childs play area) Short walk to the beach (adjoining wetlands) miles of lovely sand, the waves could be quite forceful but we enjoyed this. One beach restaurant for drinks and snacks - Evening meals could be expensive but snacks were not extortionate. You can hire boats etc if necessary. Lifeguard in attendance and clean, could nto ask for more. We hired a car and without it you may need to get Taxi or your eating / drinking may be restricted. As it was we drove no longer than 20 mins for food and had a great many options. We are not interested in Bars or clubs in the evening (prefer a bottle of wine in the apt) but if I was this would be the only "down side" of the location. We did the open top bus tour and it made me happier we decided to stay in Salgados over some of the busier towns (Albufeira etc.). If you are going for day trips / food I would suggest going west towards Armacao rather than east. If you want a relaxing break with the family this place can not be beaten. No issues with Deposit being returned paid promptly without chasing upon checkout.

Cara Sra. Sandra Pereira Albuquerque Em primeiro lugar deixe-me pedir-lhe desculpa pelo problema com que se deparou depois do check-in, apesar de ter confirmado presencialmente, com a pessoa que a acompanhou na vistoria ao apartamento, que estava tudo ótimo. Mas compreendemos que as queixas que apresenta só tenham sido detetadas mais tarde. Temos pena que, no seu review, não tenha referido que no momento em que reclamou, nos disponibilizámos prontamente a resolver o problema e sugerimos que fosse enviado de imediato o serviço de limpeza, ao que a Sra. Sandra respondeu não ser necessário, para surpresa nossa. No entanto, mandámos efetuar uma nova limpeza de todo o apartamento a meio da estadia, pena temos que não tenha referido também esse esforço da nossa parte no seu review. Dada a sua manifesta insatisfação, propusemos ainda que abandonasse o apartamento no dia seguinte, sem prejuízo ou qualquer penalização. ​Lamentamos que mesmo depois de lhe querermos devolver tudo o que já tinha pago, deixando-a ficar uma noite sem pagar absolutamente nada para poder arranjar uma alternativa, e havia muitas na Herdade, tenha decidido permanecer no apartamento. Em muitos anos de alugueres é a primeira vez que isto nos acontece e já dei uma palavra de ânimo à equipa de limpeza que ficou desolada com as suas palavras. Relativamente à queixa do exaustor, a senhora responsável pela limpeza crê que a reclamação deva ser por causa de alguma sujidade no interior da conduta, já que por fora está impecável. Também no forno confirmou que não consegue limpar melhor, uma vez que o pó que refere está dentro do vidro duplo da porta. O mesmo se passa com os mosquitos que a Sra. Sandra Albuquerque conseguiu encontrar dentro de um aplique incrustado no teto. São reclamações de alguém que é exigente e tem todo o direito de o ser. Não vamos aqui detalhar as sucessivas desculpas que a Sra. Sandra arranjou para adiar o pagamento. Felizmente os reviews que tivemos até hoje são todos de 5 estrelas e com comentários de famílias que querem voltar, aliás, mais de metade dos nossos clientes voltam. Resta-nos agradecer o seu review, pois só assim podemos melhorar no sentido de satisfazer o elevado grau de exigência dos nossos clientes. P.S. Em relação ao penso rápido ainda estamos sem perceber como a senhora da limpeza não o viu, o responsável pelo apartamento não o viu, durante a primeira vistoria, e ninguém o viu durante o check-in.
