About the home

We are located in Lagos only 900 feet from "Dona Ana" Beach, half a mile far from "Camilo" Beach, 1 mile far from "Pinhão" Beach and "Pinheiros" Beach (Naturist), 1,2 miles far from "Grande" Beach (Naturist), 1,4 far from "Barranco" Beach (Naturist) and 1,8 miles far from "Canavial" and "Porto de Mós" Beach
Our location is on a quiet and open beach zone, however only 15 minutes walking from the Historic centre of Lagos.

Peaceful family atmosphere, near the Beach but equally inside of the city. We are located at the start of an area known by "Costa D'Oiro" (Golden Coast), derived name of the yellow colour of the rocks that involve all these several beaches with singular beauty, protected of the wind and with calm and limpid waters.

It is also a protection area to the nature, fine for pedestrian walks to the Light House located at "Ponta da Piedade", excellent point to observe "Lagos" Bay and Algarve's coast witch is visible till "Albufeira".

Dona Ana Garden - Location

The Algarve / West Algarve region

The Algarve was a semi-autonomous area with a governor from 1595 to 1808, as well as a separate taxation system until the end of the 18th century. During this time, to reflect the Algarve's unique status, Portuguese monarchs were known as "King of Portugal and The Algarves".

In 1807, when Junot was leading the first Napoleonic invasion in the north of Portugal, the Algarve was occupied by the Spanish troops of Manuel Godoy. The Algarve became the first part of Portugal to liberate itself from Spanish occupation, in the rebellion of Olhão in 1808.

In the 1960s the Algarve became a very popular destination for tourists, mainly from Britain. It has since become a common destination for the Germans and the Dutch. Many of these tourists own their own property in the region. There are Algarve-based English-written publications and newspapers specifically addressed to this community. In addition to the natural beauties and plenty of beaches, the Algarve has invested in the creation of a network of golf courses. Well-known beaches in the Algarve range from Praia da Luz to Armação de Pêra. A well known spa town is Caldas de Monchique.

Algarve's mild climate attracts interest from Northern Europeans wishing to have a holiday home or residence on the region. Being a region of Portugal, and therefore in the European Union, any EU citizen have the right to freely buy property and reside with little formality in the Algarve. British, followed by German, Dutch and Scandinavians, are among the largest groups wishing to own a home in this Portugal's sunny region.

The summer months see high temperatures that attract beach-goers and sun-lovers from around the world.

With more hours of sunshine than California and only short periods of rainfall, generally between November and March, the Algarve has the perfect weather and climate for tourism.

The maximum temperatures in the Algarve fluctuate between 15 and 31 °C, with the temperature never falling below zero in the winter months.

The Lagos / Dona Ana area

Lagos is an ancient maritime town with more than 2,000 years of history. The name Lagos has a Celtic origin and is derived from the word Lacobriga. Lagos first became a settlement of the Carthaginians,who recruited Celtic tribesmen in their war against the Romans (the Punic Wars). Later it became colonized by the Romans, becoming part of the Roman province Lusitania. Some Roman remains can still be found in Lagos and the surrounding countryside. Quintus Sertorius, a Roman rebellious general, helped by the Lusitanians of Lacobriga, fought successfully a battle against the Roman army of Q. Caecilius Metellus Pius probably at nearby Monte Molião. Lacobriga was already in those times an important harbour.

The town was occupied in the sixth century by the Visigoths from the Kingdom of Toledo and later by the Byzantines. The Moors came in the eight century. The renamed the town Zawaia (meaning Lago = lake). It was part of the coastal region al-Gharb (hence the name Algarve). The Moors fortified the town and established important trade links. In 1174 the local Wali gave permission for the construction of a church of St. John the Baptist outside the town walls. This is the oldest church in the Algarve.

Even as King Afonso Henriques was reconquering Portugal (the Reconquista), the southern part (Algarve and Alentejo) remained under Moorish domination. It was captured by King Afonso III of Portugal in 1241. After the complete capture of Algarve in 1249 the king gave himself the title "King of Portugal and Algarve", stressing the fact that the Algarve, after the long rule by the Moors, was considered a foreign country and not part of Portugal.

Lagos became an independent jurisdiction under the rule of King Pedro I in 1361. King João I assembled his fleet in the harbour of Lagos, before setting sail for the siege and conquest of the city of Ceuta in 1415. This was the first step in opening the Arabian world to medieval Europe, which in fact led to the Age of Discovery with Portuguese explorers sailing across the whole world.

(replica of) the caravel Boa EsperançaThus Lagos became important during the 15th century period of Portuguese exploration. Prince Henry the Navigator, third son of King João I, lived most of the time in Lagos. From here he directed expeditions to Morocco and to the western coast of Africa with caravels, lateen-rigged ships with excellent seafaring capabilities. Lagos was also the home port for Gil Eanes who was the first to sail beyond Cape Bojador in 1434, then considered the end of the world. This was a breakthrough in the Portuguese exploration of Africa. Lagos was at least as important during the Age of Discovery as Cape Canaveral was during the early years of space exploration. Nigeria's former capital, Lagos, was named after the Portuguese location.

It was also in Lagos that the first slaves were brought to Europe. There is a 17th century building standing on the exact site where the first slave markets were held in the 15th century. As the major sponsor of these expeditions, Prince Henry received one fifth of the selling price of the slaves. After his death the town began to slumber as the Royal family lost interest in the Algarve. All major trading houses then took up residence in Lisbon.

King Sebastião, obsessed with his plans for a great crusade against the kingdom of Fez, assembled a huge fleet in Lagos in 1578. During this ill-fated attempt he and most of Portugal's nobility were killed in the Battle of Alcácer Quibir in Morocco.

The old Portuguese town was a very beautiful city with many monuments until it was destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami of 1755. But it still preserves some (rebuilt) walls from the 16th century, a governor's castle (17th century) and (the site of) an ancient slave market which is believed to be the first black slave market (Mercado de Escravos) in Europe (opened in 1444).

Two well-known naval battles took place off Lagos, reflecting its startegic location: In the Battle of Lagos (1693) a French force defeated a combined Anglo-Dutch one, in the the Battle of Lagos (1759) a British force defeated a French one.

Dona Ana - Probably the beach most frequented by tourists, and for good reason. The sand on Dona Ana is slightly thicker than the beaches in the surrounding area, and the beach itself is bounded by lovely rock formations. Many different shapes come alive when you look at the rock formation, a birthday cake, the titanic, and the sphynx's to name a few. Dona Ana is essentially split into two beaches with a protruding cliff separating the two sides at high tide.

“Great value Apartments and rooms close to Praia Dona Ana”
This is a great family run apartments/rooms in a great location only 5 mins walk from the beautiful Dona Ana Beach. The property is a collection of traditional buildings which houses large double rooms and 1,2 and I think 3 bed apartments surrounded by beautiful and immaculately maintained gardens and fish ponds. There is a heated pool with a mall kiddy pool attached and lots of sunbeds/umbrellas. There is also a large outdoor kitchen area with barbeque which guests can use for BBQ's. The room we had was very big with firm but comfortable beds and came equipped with a kettle, microwave and small fridge. The bathroom was a good size with a bath and overhead powerful shower. Maids came every day with towels and shhets being changed every two.We had a shared balcony patio area which is the only think I didn't like as you don't get a lot of privacy. Other rooms had their own balcony but because of the intimate nature of the resort some again were not that private.Attached to the complex their is a small supermarket which is great for daily supplies and has the tastiest fresh bread, rolls and croissants every day. They also sell beer, wine, cigarettes, fresh fruit amongst other things and it wasn't overpriced.
The man who owns the property is called Jose and is very friendly and helpful, in fact all the staff are and are only happy to help with any need you have.
About 30 meters up the road is a great little bar called O Amigos and the barmen George and Rui are great fun and a pair of real characters., they also do snack and food all day although I thinj the breakfast at the beach cafe is better value.
All in all it is a great place with a very intimate atmosphere and not at all nosey or intrusive and all the people we met were super friendly which created a good atmosphere. They get a lot of repeat customers and I can see why.
The walk into town is about 10/15 mins and easy to do. We used to get a taxi back which only cost 4/5 euros and saved a lot of hastle. You will be spoiled for choice for restaurants in Lagos and we never had a bad meal, the standard of cooking is very high and there is something for everyone.
I would have no hesitation recommending Dona Ana Garden. Bookings can be made direct on Jose's website donanagarden.com but check your spam folder for replies as this is where all the replies he sent me ended up!! And I thought he was ignnoring me!!
Anyway, go and enjoy.

“Excelente en todos los aspectos.”
Eramos 7 personas y nos sentimos en todo momento en nuestra casa. Los apartamentos muy confortables y limpios. Las piscinas estupendas.La atención personal inmejorable y la relación calidad/precio muy adecuada
Lagos ciudad nos pareció un sitio lleno de encanto, con playas de aguas limpias y muy entretenidas. Vida nocturna suficiente sin llegar a sentirse fuera de lugar
Los precios de los bares y alimentación son más baratos que en España
Excelente opción si quieres tener un punto de partida y llegada para conocer todo el Algarbe

“hébergement convivial et familial dans petite structure”
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Dona Ana garden. Bon accueil de la propriétaire et disponible en journée pour toute question à la petite épicerie attenante à la résidence. Appartement calme, très grand et confortable avec une chambre, possibilité en louant les 2 T1 communiquants du rez de chaussée de disposer d'un hébergement pour 8 personnes. Equipement de cuisine composé de l'essentiel. 2 chaines de TV française ; WIFI pour les inconditionnels d'internet même en vacances. Jardin très agréable avec piscine et transat à disposition.
Situé à deux minutes de la plage de Ana Dona Garden, à 15 minutes à pieds du centre ville de Lagos. . Super balade à proximité par les sentiers pédestres jusqu'à Ponta da Piedade par la côte. Marché tous les matins à Lagos, Intermarché à environ 2 km.
Hébergement très satisfaisant à prix modique hors saison. Je vous le conseille.

“Peaceful place set in beautiful gardens with pool”
We just stayed here for 9 nights in a small studio room with kitchen and loved it. The small resort is set in beautiful mature gardens and has a great pool area for hanging out on lazy days. The staff are really helpful and chilled out, no deposit required like most other hotels and just pay at the end. The cleaners come every day for clean sheets, towels and and a tidy up. The location is great as it's only 5 mins walk from Dona Ana Beach which is beaufiful, and its a 5 mins walk the other way to Camilo Beach - which we thought was even more secluded and picturesque (watch out for the 200 steps down to it though!!). Its a 10 min walk to the town which has so many great restaurant and bar options, you will never go hungry or thirsty!!
We will definately stay again. The only downer is that the bed was a little small and hard, but when you are in Lagos - which is such a great place, you can't really complain ;o)

“Nice Apartment in a good location"
We were spending a few days in Logos and had a recommendation to stay at the Dona Ana Garden Apartments. We had reserved a studio apartment, but when we checked in they gave us a one bedroom apartment for the same price. The apartment was a typical beach apartment. It was clean and efficient. The location is perfect because it was a 10 minute walk to the beach and a 15 minute to the old town. There is a grocery store on the premise that made it easy to purchase all our basic food and drink items at a reasonable price. The parking was free and there is also a pool, which we did not use. We enjoyed being able to walk into town for dinner. The only problem was finding the location of the Dona Ana Garden office. The address given is not where the office is located (even if you use a GPS). We had to stop and get directions. The office is on the main road before you turn right on to Costa D'Oiro. For the price and location you can't go wrong staying at the Dona Ana Garden.

“Good value, near beach and old town.”
Initially i was looking for a villa for a group of 14, i wanted a bbq and pool area, but couldn't find a place big enough. Dona Ana Garden appeared to fit the bill as apartments containing a pool area and BBQ The beach is about a 5 miute walk away and the old town 15. The apartments we very clean, well appointed. The grounds were very well kept with lots of plant life and a fish pond. There is a small shop next door to purchase drinks and snacks etc which was handy. Just next door is a pub that does a good breakfast. Jose the owner was very helpfull when i was organising the weekend over email.
