The Algarve / West Algarve region
Think of the Algarve and you think of sunshine breaks and relaxing holidays. You imagine golden beaches on the coast of calm sea waters, sun-kissed tourists relaxing and sampling the delights that this wonderful region of Portugal has to offer.
Everywhere you go, you are surrounded by bright colours, from the golden sands, to the crystal clear waters, the clear blue skies, the vivid green grass, and the white-washed walls of the buildings in the Algarve's old towns.
There is no one best way to explore this region of Portugal. The seemingly endless coastline includes some of the world's most beutiful beaches, but by venturing just a few miles inland, you can lose yourself in the heritage and history of the Algarve.
Fancy a more action-packed holiday? The Algarve caters for all holiday makers... with every watersport available for all tourists. The Algarve is also home to some of the world's most famous golf courses, where players of all ability are welcome. You can also try your hand at a nice relaxing game of bowling, or tennis, with the Algarve's fantastic views and sights providing the perfect backdrop.
Lagos / Meia Praia area
LAGOS AREA: Lagos is a major port and historically one of the region's most interesting cities. It has style, with its sleek boats, designer boutiques and paved promenades. Prince Henry the Navigator made Lagos his headquarters but his palace was lost forever in the Great Earthquake of 1755.
Essentially now an important tourist town there are still many architectural signs of its ancient past. The walls of the town in the most part remain after sections were restored. Attached to the famous 17th Century "gold" church of Santo António there is a small museum of regional items, some of which are quite odd!
Fabulous beaches and coves, an historic town with great shopping in its quiet cobbled back streets combine to make the town one of the most sought after resorts on the coast. Excellent restaurants serving international cuisine, shopping, nightlife or quiet life, the choice is yours! White sandy beaches, crystal clear seas, friendly relaxed atmosphere, fresh fish in abundance and over 300 days of sunshine a year!
APARTMENT MARAVISTA: The location of the apartment is superb, just a few minutes walk to historic town of Lagos, its modern marina and the beautiful beach of Meia Praia. Other nearby beaches include Dona Ana and Praia da Luz. Several world class golf courses are a short drive away, including Palmares, Boavista and the challenging Parque da Floresta course.
The marina is just 5 minutes walk, with Lagos town a further 10 minutes. The town boasts numerous boutique shops, cafes and bars within its cobbled pedestrianised area.
There is plenty of local entertainment for the kids with ‘Slide and Splash’ activity park and 'Zoo Marine' approx 30 minutes drive.

Guestbook
"We really enjoyed ourselves in Lagos, everything we wanted from a holiday. The apartment is brilliant, loved looking out on the balcony to the sea watching the train go by. Had the pool to ourselves most of the time! Thanks again for renting us your brill apartment."Gill and Bill Kelly: 20-27/09/08
"We would just like to say we had a truly wonderful two week holiday. The brochure pictures looked excellent but in reality it definitely surpassed our expectations. The apartment was very clean and tidy and well appointed with all the amenities you would require and more. The apartment is in a picturesque setting and it was a joy to wake up to the stunning sea views from the balcony. With Lagos town only a short walk away from the apartment there was plenty of activities, attractions and bars/restaurants to keep us occupied both day and night. We would definitely go back and would have no hesitation in recommending this property to friends and colleagues. Thanks again." Derek and Gillian: 25/05/08-07/06/08
"We wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed your apartment. Joe and I had a great week. Good weather, good food and very good accommodation. I have got to say, your apartment ranks very highly with anywhere, and for us in the last few years it has mostly been various parts of America, you easily compare with their high standards. P.S. I loved the basin in the bathroom!" Mary and Joe Donnelly: 01-08/09/07

We really enjoyed the walks along the very good beach at Meia Praia and exploring the many streets in Lagos with lots of good restaurants, bars & shops - we haven't walked as much in ages! We would certainly recommend your apartment and use it again." Des and Jackie Pye: 09-23/06/07
"We have had a wonderful 4 weeks at your excellent apartment. In the past we have rented 4 times in Lagos and yours was by far the best for location and facilities, and we hope to rent from you again in the future." Pat and John Wood: 03-30/03/07
"The apartment was fabulous, in a great location and extremely well equipped with eveything we could have wanted during our stay. We would hope to visit Lagos again in the future and you will be top of our list of places to stay". Eoin Mills and Caoimhe O'Shea: 06-16/04/07
"A wonderfully relaxing holiday. Lagos town was a perfect all-round destination with great shops and restaurants. In the evening, Mum and I enjoyed a glass of wine and the sea views from your terrace". Moira and Iris Dixon: 24-30/09/06.
