Casa Do Nascer Sol (house)

Home description

Casa Do Nascer Sol is a beautiful 3 storey 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. 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.

The property has a communal swimming pool with a smaller pool for young children and there is a bar where you can buy refreshments during the summer months.

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'.

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.

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.

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. 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 one of the biggest bays in Europe and is a blue flag beach. The water is clear and great for swimming and is only about 200m from the property.

Just 4km away, 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 which is excellent value for €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 about 20 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 on 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.

How to get there

Regular flights to Faro from the budget airlines including Easyjet and Monarch. If you book early there are a lot of cheap flights depending on the days that you choose to travel.
