About the home

We love this apartment but just don't get to use it enough. Porto de Mos is a very up scale development above cliffs and the famous sandy Porto de Mos beach which is just 5 minutes walk away.

The apartment is ideal for families with children of all ages. It is ground floor with easy access to the pool but with a degree of privacy. Parents can keep an eye on the children who can harmlessly roam the gardens and if you have a toddler, the terrace is easily secured to make a good sized play area - and peace of mind for you.

It has two bedrooms, the second has two twin beds and the lounge has two comfortable sofa beds - good for up to two additional children or maybe a young adult.

Out of school holiday time couples will find this an ideal base for the cultured highlights of Lagos and the Western Algarve providing an elegant retreat if you just want to relax in peaceful and luxurious surroundings.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Inbuilt speakers in bedrooms and kitchen - don't forget your iPod! Jacuzzi bath, A/C, British TV channels. DVD collection. Underground garage parking available for long term lets.

One of the best quality apartments on the whole Algarve - we checked a lot! Ideally placed for exploring the Western Algarve.

Further details outdoors:
You can see the sun shining off the Atlantic in the morning from the master bedroom terrace but just to be clear - it's really an apartment with views of the delightful gardens and a short walk to the beach rather than one where you can sit all day gazing out to sea.

Further details

English lady property manager based in Lagos is on call as needed.

Meet & greet included in rental service.

Welcome pack and airport taxi available on request.

A car is highly recommended as Intermarche supermarket is only 3 minutes by car but a bit of a walk. Also the car park at the foot of the old town walls of Lagos is only 5 minutes drive away.

The famous Boavista golf course and development is less than 5 minutes drive away.

Conditions

15% deposit will secure booking. Balance payable 4 weeks before arrival.

100 euro breakage deposit payable on arrival - refundable 2 weeks after departure.

The Algarve / West Algarve region

Really Lagos and the beach at Porto de Mos can keep you entertained for a full two weeks but a bit of exploring will yield the end of Europe over looking the Atlantic at Sagres and beyond to Cape St Vincent, the very scenic cork growing hills of Monchique and the Moorish hill town of Silves.

If you want to go a bit more touristic, then as you move eastwards along the coast you can visit the lovely fishing villages of Ferragudo and Alvor and then really start to hit the large resorts of Albufeira, Vilamoura and so on. There's golf of course and it's even rumoured that Formula 1 is coming to the race circuit at Portimao just up the road from Lagos. We'll see.

The Lagos / Porto de Mos area

Lagos is still very much a Portuguese town with all year round activity due to its resident Portuguese population. It has a very interesting old town inside the mediaeval walls with cobbled streets, museums and a gallery as well as many good but reasonably priced restaurants.

It has an active modern marina, a zoo just outside town and, perhaps most famously, those world renowned beaches with arches and grottoes beneath the cliffs. There are boat trips to take you to the more remote beaches or to see the dolphins.

“Fantastic Oct half term” This holiday was a joy from start to finish, dealing with the owners was a pleasure and Doreen was first class. She even came to meet us from McDonalds to take us to the apartment as we'd (stupidly) forgotten the instructions ! The first thing which struck us was, what a beautiful apartment and setting. It's quiet and close to the beach with a large patio which lets you enjoy the sunshine for most of the day. Having breakfast on the patio basking in the sunshine was a particular treat ! My partner had visited Portugal several times, but for me it was a first and after touring around a little, sightseeing, I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. We were lucky enough to be blessed with gorgeous weather, sunny everyday but one (the last day) and with some beautiful beaches to visit, it was ideal. The apartment caters for your every need and we enjoyed the flexibility of being close to Lagos but in the nice suburbs of Porto de Mos, with 2 restaurants within walking distance. I would definitely recommend staying here and would like to return soon.

“Our holiday to Casa Clara” Booked the holiday online, communication and dealings with owners has been a pleasure. The rep locally was very good also, met us and was responsive to any questions we had. The apartment itself is perfect for a family or couple, it's a lovely place but not over crowded with items that "little ones" might break, so everyone can relax. Pool was super, kids spent so much time in there, getting them out was the only challenge. Quite a new complex so a little tricky to find at first, but a lovely location and the beach was one of the best I have seen. It also had a couple of nice restaruants that we had a few lovely evening meals at with a beautiful view of the sea. Lagos town, the old part, is wonderful day and night.

“Home away from home - great service” We stayed in Casa Clara with our son (3 years old). He loved the swimmingpool. We loved our breakfast on the patio, the lovely garden and the ambiance. The pictures on the internet show a realistic image of what you get. Large kitchen, large bedrooms, 2 bath rooms, all very nice and also very clean. The beach is a short stroll away, unfortunatly the pavement stops suddenly. You need a car for the shops and visiting Lagos, takes about 5 minutes. Doreen of Lloyd Properties makes sure you have a great welcome, clean towels and linen and can always be reached for questions. Even for a new frying pan.....

Guestbook for Casa Clara

"Weather was more than we could have hoped for and your apartment was everything you cracked up about. In fact it is the best we have stayed in and we have been to a few ! The couple we went with who usually do the hotel routine were well impressed, so much so that a repeat performance is envisaged for next year. So you will be hearing from us again !"

Wootton family, September 2011


"We had a great holiday in your beautiful apartment, we loved it, I can definitely say that it is one of the nicest apartments that we have ever been in, there is nothing at all to complain about (I usually find something). It was spotlessly clean and Doreen was very welcoming.

The weather was fantastic all week and we went to the beach bar several times that you had recommended in your file, it was great. We will definitely be booking it again for next year".

Anne, Rossendale, Lancashire, October 2011




We had a wonderful stay over the extended Royal Wedding break. Totally relaxing and a fantastic apartment. We didn't want to come home. Wendy & Colin, Camberley

Absolutely delightful in late May and early June - a really comfortable break and much to see. Thank you. B & P Hawksworth - Harrogate, N. Yorks

We were very impressed with the apartment – the best of everything, and very good weather to go with it! We would certainly recommend it to friends, but certainly having a car there is probably essential. John Wallace and family, Dublin.

We had a wonderful time. The apartment was gorgeous and fully exceeded our expectations! The gardens and pool were exquisitely kept and the apartment had all the amenities we could wish for! We spent most of our time by the pool or beach and had most of our meals on the terrace overlooking the pool as it was so peaceful and pretty (and warm)! The space was perfect for our son who played very safely on the terrace. He loved the outdoor jacuzzi hot tub. Bradshaw family, Southampton

Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know we had a wonderful stay at the apartment , it's a perfect setting for us & the facilities are excellent- glad we had the car, Lagos was the busiest we've ever seen, so it was good to be away from it all at Casa Clara ! I particulary enjoyed my early morning runs along the cliffs to Luz - runners heaven !! R Deane & family, Harrogate N.Yorks
