About the home

Casa Do Nascer Sol is a beautiful 3 storey town house overlooking the Atlantic and Meia Praia beach and is ideally located only 1.5km from Palmares golf course and 1.5km from the charming town of Lagos. We stay in our house as often as we can during out of peak periods when the weather is still far more inviting than northern Europe. The name of the house translates to 'House of the Rising Sun' which, for the early risers, will be plain to see why. The property looks out onto Meia Praia beach, which is 200m away, and which can be admired from the three large sea/sun facing balconies. There is a beach bar/restaurant facing the house which serves excellent food and drinks all day long, and several others along the beach - we have tried them all and recommned them all too !!.
The property has a communal swimming pool with a smaller shallow pool for young children and there is a bar where you can buy refreshments during the summer months. There is no menu but Ana Paula prepares lovely snacks on request and more substantial meals with a bit of notice - best to let her know if you might require meals service in advance. The bar has free WiFi.


The house has a lot of space and has over 40 square metres of sea and sun facing balcony space. The top balcony has an electric sun blind to provide some protection from the sun and is ideal for spending the evenings listening to the sea and eating 'al fresco'. We always have breakfast out on the balcony listening to the sea and watching the last of the fishing boats returning to the harbour. If we are especially early we watch the sun come up, sun rise is pretty spectacular.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The house can accommodate six adults with scope for additional small children . For each additional guest above 6 there will be a charge of £20 per day.
Two very spacious double bedrooms (with proper double beds) with lovely balconies facing the sea. One of the double bedrooms has an en suite, and a very comfortable double "put-you-up" which can be used for additional guests by prior arrangement. The third bedroom has two adult size single beds and plenty of space . There are also two 'Z-beds' suitable for children if required. All of the beds/mattresses were renewed in April 2008. Bed linen is new and all cotton (some egyptian) for that added crisp and luxurious feeling.

There is one bathroom with bath/shower, WC and bidet and one en suite with WC and shower . Both have double sinks.

There is a dining area on the top floor with a dining table and chairs. Alternatively you can eat 'al fresco' on the balcony overlooking the ocean with views of the beach, Lagos town and the popular Dona Ana in the distance.
There is plenty of flexibility with numbers of seats around tables as most of the chairs are on the top floor.

The kitchen comes fully equipped with cutlery, crockery and all that is needed to self cater, plenty of wine/soft drink/beer glasses.

Cleaning and laundry (bed linen, tea towels and bathroom towels) will be carried out once a week. Bath towels are provided for use within the house only,and we ask that guests bring their own beach/pool towels.

There is a safe for your valuables.

There is TV with most of the usual channels. There are also a variety of books, maps, DVDs and an I-pod speaker dock which fits most I-pods.

A pair of binoculars shouild be found on the mantle piece. There is a variety of buckets/spades/beach balls/beach umbrellas fully stocked at the beginning of each season.

Further details outdoors:
There is parking available directly outside the house. There are attractive gardens to admire by the communal pool area whilst soaking up some rays and enjoying a cool drink from the bar (in season).

Both double bedrooms have balconies which look out over the sea, being the perfect way to wake up on your holiday.

The top balcony is ideal for eating outside with a fabulous view of the coast, westwards to Lagos town and to Dona Ana probably about 3km across the bay. Breakfast on the balcony is a particular treat.There is a large white metal table on this balcony with 6 matching chairs and there are several spare garden chairs which can be used if necessary - there is plenty of space !!

The bottom balcony is the largest and has a few chairs and a couple of sun beds to relax on.

The Algarve / West Algarve region

The Algarve is the southernmost region of Portugal and it's one of Europe's favourite holiday destinations well known for glorious year round sunshine and excellent sandy beaches. The western Algarve is unspoilt with many rocky coves and sandy beaches very close to Lagos where you could have the beach to yourself.

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 beautiful beaches, but by venturing just a few miles inland, you can lose yourself in the heritage and history of the Algarve.

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.

The Lagos / Meia Praia area

Lagos enjoys a fantastic climate for most of the year, and benefits from it's close location next to the sea, a scenic coastline, and historical patrimony. It also has plenty of cultural and night-life entertainment venues which cater for all age groups - there are plenty of late night bars/clubs which come to life after 10pm and literally hundreds of restaurants . Many local traditions are celebrated, ranging from architecture to gastronomy and handicrafts.

Lagos has 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.

Meia Praia (which means half beach) with it's soft and white sand, is a sweeping bay about 4 - 5 km long and is a blue flag beach. The water is clear and great for swimming and is only about 200m from the property.

Just 3km away across the bay westwards, and visible from the house is Dona Ana beach, also a blue flag beach, which is 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. Dona Ana is essentially split into two beaches with a protruding cliff separating the two sides at high tide. Again, the sea is very clear and great to swim in and there are 2 restaurants overlooking the bay which do a variety of dishes. The local fishermen come onto the beach in their small fishing boats to pick you up for a trip round the caves (grotto) which is excellent value for about €10 pp.

Palmares golf club is 1.5km away and Boavista golf club is only 8km from the apartment.

From the port of Lagos you can organise various activities and excursions such as boat hire, scuba diving, dolphin watching, sea fishing, cave exploration by boat, surfing, windsurfing and many more. There is a fantastic water park (near Guia) about 25 minutes away which children (and most adults!) will love and also an zoo marine park which has dolphin and sea lion shows, children's funfair rides and a water park.

If you prefer, you can sit in or outside one of the many restaurants and cafes in Lagos or admire the boats in the marina and enjoy the local cuisine.

The most south-westerly point of Europe, Cape da St Vincente, is only 20kms away and is reported to be a fantastic place to listen to the sea and watch the sun set over the Atlantic.

There are also lots of picturesque towns and mountain villages to visit in and around the Algarve and not too far from Lagos.
Nearby a new hotel opened in 2009 has a spa, gym, indoor pool, minigolf etc which is open to the public for a small fee - ask at the hotel reception. Use of these facilities would be a bonus for a winter break . You pass this hotal on your left as you drive along the Miea Praia beach road about 400 metres before the turning to uor house.

“Fantastic property, easily accessible to fabulous beach and vibrant town of Lagos!” We had a great holiday ... it's a perfect location for families with teenagers, as they could make their own way into Lagos safely. Very close to a superb beach with water sports, sun beds and great beach bars! The property is beautifully decorated and very spacious and has the use of a good sized communal pool. Added to all of this, we were lucky enough to have fantastic weather every day and a great tan as a result! Will definitely be returning.

Just wanted to let you know that we arrived back last night after a really wonderful week. The house was great, amazing views and had everything we could have wanted! The boys loved the poker set in particular.... The area was amazing too - the beach is probably one of the best I've ever been to and the weather was perfect all week, we literally didn't see a cloud!

We would love to come back and have already been checking out your calendar!
