A car is very convenient but not essential as train, airport transfers are an easy option. Help is readily available if required. We do have a tame taxi driver who is very reliable, even when in Luz. A very good supermarket is just a 500mt walk or 750mt drive. The beach is just a 800mt walk.

***** " Home from home " in the sun!
We had a lovely holiday in Mac and Roger's very homely and comfortable house. I can honestly say that I have never stayed anywhere that I have felt more at home in on a holiday
.
It really is in an ideal position, .literally only 10 minutes walk into Luz, where there is a very nice promenade and beach.
We enjoyed a delicious fish Cataplana in La Concha right on the front, looking directly over the beach. Very friendly and welcoming staff.
The house is in an ideal location, if you enjoy walking you could manage without a car, but there is so much to do and see in the area that a car is a bonus, and it is was easy to drive as the roads were very quiet.
Lagos is a lovely old town, with very quaint cobbled streets and only 10 mins away by car. We also enjoyed walking to Begau and Salema, both reminded us Cornwall in the sun, delightful!
The house itself has everything you need, we especially enjoyed having the choice of the balcony or the private terrace and using the pool area which we mostly had to ourselves.
We do want to recommend this holiday because it greatly deserved, as long as it doesn't get too booked up, because we want to go back next year!

***** Brilliant - Home away from Home
This was our first time in Portugal and what a welcome this was. Upon arival, on one of the hottest days in the history of the world, what better way to refresh than a nice cool drink with ready made ice-cubes from the freezer or perhaps a lovely coffee made with freshly ground beans from the Bean-to-Cup coffee maker? To say that this apartment is well equipt would be an understatement, it's not a case of seeing what it has got but more try to find something it hasn't! From start to finish this apartment made our holiday the most enjoyable to date and delivered on every aspect. It didn't have the usual clinical and sterile feel of many units or hotels but a very homely one that made you comfortable as soon as you set foot through the door. The shared grounds and pool area were excellently maintained and beautifuly landscaped and the pool itself was perhaps one the most interesting i've seen. Chris the property manger was a very pleasant English fellow and was on hand to answer any questions we had both about the property and the local area. We only tried a few of the local eateries and bars, which were all excellent, we bought groceries from the local supermarkets (SPAR and Baptista) which both stock a great selection of both local and british products. The beach, although busy, was very pleasant with lots of activities available (pedalos and other watersports). On the whole it as the apartment and pool that made it for us and was where we spent most of our time, it was a home away from home and I would recomend it to anyone, anyday. Many thanks to Roger & Mac, we wil be back for sure!

Peacefully situated but within reach of all ammenities. Very comfortable and a pool to die for! Try the cliff walk to nearby Burgau for a drink or lunch, catch the bus back a beautiful trip!. Luzi bar on the front at Luz good for light snacks and cool beers, recommended!
