We had an absolutely unforgettable time at this amazing property! Marcelle was a super host with amazing communication from start to finish, and there just couldn’t be a more beautiful place to stay. The property was super clean, comfortable, convenient, with the most breathtaking views and grounds. Our only wish was that we could have stayed longer! We hope to visit again one day, and if you’re fortunate enough to visit, you won’t be disappointed by booking Marcelle’s property. Obrigada, Marcelle!

Fantastic appartment

This is our fourth stay at this appartment and it was as good as ever. Really clean, perfect position and lovely people to deal with. The area has two great restaurants and a local bus into the centre of Lagos which is just a very short journey. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone and we will be there again in 2020.

The place was really pretty and comfortable. Spotless on our arrival. Very good instructions on everything… appliances, umbrellas etc even had left over ice cream in freezer from owners visit! Enough closet space to move in for at least a month! Easy walking distance to beach with 2 wonderful restaurants. We enjoyed Lagos and the surrounding areas as well

Relaxing stay!

Marcelle’s place was peaceful and a short walk (7 mins) to the beach. Couple of beach restaurants close by, but we would mainly Uber into Lagos for dinners. Uber was easy to access and it was only a 6 min drive into Lagos. If you’re looking for a relaxing location with easy access to the beach and Lagos, would highly recommend Marcelle’s place! Plenty of room for our family of 5 and a beautiful view from the balcony!

Family stay Jul/Aug 24

We stayed for 9 nights at the end of July, I have been to the Algarve on several occasions in the last 30 years but this was my first time visiting Lagos. I have to say it’s my new favourite place to this date. The apartment was spacious well equipped and spotlessly clean.And we loved the local area. Lagos has something for everyone beautiful beaches and caves,lovely restaurants and a vibrant and interesting town, I read some reviews beforehand saying the location was a bit quiet,but tbh the fact that the property was out of the main town was perfect for us and meant we had the best of both, A quiet and beautiful apartment to enjoy lazy days by the pool and then the option to go into town for an evening out and meal. We loved this place and will definitely come back

About the host

Hosted by Marcelle Samuels

Host profile image
My husband, two daughters & myself continue to enjoy wonderful holidays at our apartment, for so many reasons. The view from our balcony is so relaxing and beautiful, with the beach only a 5 minute walk from our door. We are surrounded by an amazing choice of restaurants and have become used to eating out every night, sometimes at the high quality restaurants on the beach and other times wandering into the vibrant and welcoming town of Lagos, only a 5 minute drive away.
In the past we brought the girls here during the Easter Break to provide them with a more relaxing environment for their exam revision which worked well for years, and during our stays we enjoy days out at the many stunning towns all around, beautiful walks, and various visitor attractions. We look forward to many more wonderful family holidays.

Why they chose this property

We love this property as it is in an ideal location that is relaxing, beautiful and caters for all ages. It has it's own pool in pretty gardens if you want to stay home & relax, and a large balcony with a sea view where you can eat day or night. It's a 5 minute walk from a stunning beach, which during the summer provides water sports and activities. It's a 5 minute drive from the main beautiful and vibrant town of Lagos, a delight day or evening, with a varied range of shops and something going on for all ages. You will certainly never run out of excellent choices for somewhere to eat. It is near 2 first class golf courses, fantastic restaurants, great water parks, the superb Zoomarine and many stunning local towns.

After 10 years we still love going there and have many places still to discover.

What makes this property unique

This property is built, decorated and furnished to the very highest standard and will provide you with everything you need for a wonderful holiday. If you wish to stay in to eat there is a fully equipped kitchen, the balcony overlooks the sea and the pool, gets the sun all day and is large enough to eat out on. If you prefer to eat inside in the cool, there is a large dining table inside. The bedrooms have a huge amount of wardrobe space with very comfortable beds and there is a Jacuzzi bath with overhead shower as well as a separate power shower room.
For us it is a home from home and we hope you will also feel very at home there with everything you need around you. There is a choice of excellent supermarkets nearby and we have left an information file listing various local attractions as well as our favourite restaurant recommendations
