We live and work in London, we have three children and have been holidaying here from 2004. We appreciate and understand the demands of holidaying with children. The Algarve, Lagos and the surrounding area and our apartment works really well for us.

As a family we appreciate holidaying which is stress and hassle free. This apartment being fully equipped with all the necessary mod cons and conveniently located in a beautiful and award winning Lagos Marina at our door step, ensures a very relaxing and enjoyable time.

Being foodies we enjoy the various local restaurants both in the Marina and the old town, which offers traditional Portuguese dishes as well as cuisines form around the world.

We purchased this property in this stunningly beautiful location primarily because of the convenience of the local amenities, and the ease with which we can travel from England. The western Algarve provides a range of different activities to suit all ages and interests. The Algarve is undoubtedly a region of outstanding natural beauty, and Lagos is very well located within easy reach, and which provides easy access to the Eastern and Western Algarve, surrounded by beautiful and undulating scenery.

In addition, Lagos being a coastal town, there are many clean and stunning beaches that can be accessed from the apartment by either a short walk or as short drive away. Being on the Marina, one is spoilt for choice of the vast array of restaurants and cafes, the shops in town and supermarkets are easily accessible from the apartment. The nearest supermarket Pingo Doce is across the road.

In addition to the only private pool on our complex, there is a local modern leisure center with latest equipment and facilities within 5 minutes walk, which provide a whole host of sporting activities, as well as beauty treatments.

When in the apartment we can enjoy the lovely views of hills to the rear, views of the Marina to the front and the wonderfully maintained gardens. We enjoy the space our apartment offers, it is comfortable for us and we tried to make it a home from home. Moreover, it has been furnished with good quality furniture to ensure that our guests are comfortable and relaxed in their stay; whether they are adults or families with young children.

Within the Marina Complex, our apartment block is unique in that it has two private swimming pools for adults and children (infants). This is a feature that we use as a family and the children thoroughly enjoy it. The block is secure and gated. Both our balconies at the front and back are made secure for infants and toddlers providing a safe area for them to play in. There is also a play area in the complex. Lagos offers a fresh market, where one can buy fresh fish, vegetables, fruits as well as local produce daily. There is spectacular views of the Marina and the hills behind Lagos from our apartment.

The marina provides a whole host of activities, from hiring boats out for the day for tours and for fishing, to scuba diving, fishing in the sea/river. As well as numerous restaurant and cafes to sample the authentic Portuguese food, deserts and wines. It is also a haven for golfers, and water sport enthusiasts.
