Casa das Andorinhas, in Lagos centre

Traditional 2-bedroom villa in the centre of Lagos:
Charming 100-Year-Old Townhouse Near Lagos Centre

Stay in a beautifully restored traditional Portuguese townhouse just 350m from Lagos centre. Tucked away in a quiet spot, this character-filled home features original wooden floors, wrought-iron beds, vintage photos, and plenty of natural light. An orange tree outside the lounge window adds a lovely touch of Algarve charm.

Relax on the private ivy-covered patio with traditional calçada flooring. Inside,on the ground floor, you’ll find a quirky (not modern) kitchen, cosy lounge with plasma TV, Portuguese cable
Wi-Fi, a breakfast room, and a bathroom with shower and WC.

Upstairs, a steep narrow staircase leads to two compact bedrooms (one double, one twin), plus a small dressing room and WC.

No air conditioning, but the thick old walls help keep things cooler in summer. No designated parking, though free public parking is usually available nearby (free car park ~ 250m).

    Great location

    Really nice location, easy to park right next to the house. Shame that beyond toilet paper nothing was provided (no sponges or washing up liquid, no coal for the grill, no salt, etcetc so we had to buy everything new for a one week stay, hoping what we bought remains available to the next guests so they don't have to do the same).

    House with character in old town

    A spacious light older house with a patio in a great location on the edge of the old town. A few details could be improved- the shower head needs fixing, corkscrew was broken and patio furniture needs cleaning. We enjoyed our stay and it was surprisingly peaceful and quiet.

    Wirklich sehr charmantes Stadthaus mit Flair, welches wir trotz einiger Kritikpunkte wieder buchen würden. Was uns gefallen hat:- zentrale Lage (fußläufig zu Altstadt und Busbahnhof)- der private Innenhof (ein wirkliches Highlight und gut zu nutzen, da zum Frühstück und Abendessen natürlicher Schatten vorhanden). - Das Haus selber ist sehr stilvoll und geschmackvoll gestaltet. Wirklich origniell!- Check-in reibungslos mit Key-box, Agenturmitarbeiter freundlich Kritikpunkte:- Küchenausstattung etwas mager und teilweise in keinem guten Zustand, Spülmaschine zwar vorhanden, aber bei 4 Personen nicht genug Geschirr für einen sinvollen Betrieb- Sauberkeit allgemein ok, aber das Geschirr im Schrank war schmierig bei Ankunft und unter dem Bastteppich im Wohnzimmer sehr viel Sand.- für die Stühle im Innenhof gibt es keine Sitzkissen und für den Tisch im Hof nur die Platzsets, die leider auch etwas unappetitlich waren- das Haus wird von einer Agentur betreut, die ein eigenes Bezahlsystem hat, dessen Bedienung etwas holprig war- Ausser 2 Kleiderstangen gibt es kaum Stauraum fürs Gepäck. Hinzu kam, dass in einer Ecke noch ein Stapel mit 4 Bettdecken für kältere Tage lagen, die man weder benutzen noch verstauen konnte. Fazit: Wir können die Unterkunft trotz dieser Kritikpunkte weiterempfehlen, fanden das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis jedoch nicht ganz angemessen. In puncto Zustand der Ausstattung und Gepflegtheit des Hauses hätten wir für diesen Mietpreis mehr erwartet.

    Un beau séjour mais …

    … l’arrivée a été un peu compliquée, malgré les mails envoyés par l’hôte avant la date, le jour J impossible de le joindre par téléphone, mails, sms ou via la page Vbro, afin de récupérer les clés, une heure de discussion avec le chat en ligne pour enfin récupérer le code de la boîte à clés. Point d’amélioration: laisser un minimum: sel, poivre, huile, vinaigre, éponge, produits pour les lave vaisselle et machine à laver. Tout acheter pour quelques jours à chaque fois que l’on change de logement c’est vraiment pénible.

    comfort limité

    La maison est mignonne et bien située dans le centre de Lagos. La plage et la plupart des activités sont accessibles à pied. Par contre elle manque sérieusement d'équipements. Il me parait indispensable d'ajouter des ventilateurs dans les chambres pour l'été (nous y étions en plein mois d'août). La maison est très mal isolée et engrange facilement la chaleur et l'air y circule mal, ce qui rend les nuits étouffantes. Un peu plus de vaisselle serait également apprécié car la quantité limitée force à lancer le lave vaisselle à chaque repas. À noter qu'aucun produit de base ne vous sera fourni (savon, sel, huile...). La maison n'est pas non plus adaptée aux personnes grandes : mon mari de 1,83m se cognait constamment dans les portes et les lits sont petits. La salle de bain ne se vérrouille pas, le ballon d'eau chaude est d'une taille trop juste, la grille du BBQ est rouillée, bref beaucoup de petits détails énervants. Cette location me parait trop chère pour la prestation proposée.

    Lagos und Algarve im November

    Das kleine portugiesische Stadthaus ist für selbstversorgende Individualreisende genau richtig. Am Rande der historischen Altstadt gelegen, ist alles fußläufig gut erreichbar: Supermärkte (z.B. Pingo Doce und Lidl), Restaurants (z.B. The Green Room um die Ecke), die Marina, die Strände, der Bahnhof (ein Ausflug mit der Algarve-Line lohnt sich auf jeden Fall) und natürlich die Altstadt. Im Haus ist so ziemlich alles vorhanden, was man braucht: Herd, Backofen, Spülmaschine, Waschmaschine, alles da. Eine Kaffeemaschine hätten wir uns noch gewünscht. Aber es gab ein Bialetti für Espresso. Auch Töpfe, Pfannen und Geschirr sind vorhanden, sodass man sich ein leckeres Essen mit frischen Zutaten vom Mercado Municipal zubereiten kann. An der Marina gibt es fangfrische Meeresfrüchte, absolut empfehlenswert. Der Innenhof ist ein schöner Aufenthaltsort, aber leider etwas vernachlässigt, was die Pflanzen und die Sauberkeit betrifft. Zu beachten ist, dass das Häuschen keine Heizung hat, außer einem kleinen Elektro-Radiator. Es wird also im Winter in den Abend- und Morgenstunden schon etwas frisch. Aber das wurde ja in anderen Rezensionen bereits erwähnt. Leider wird es dadurch dann auch etwas feucht, was der Bausubstanz auch etwas schadet und was man durchaus auch riechen kann. Alles in allem haben wir zwei schöne Wochen in Lagos verbracht und uns gut erholt.

    viaje en familia

    Lo primero que quiero destacar es que la casa es como la de mi abuela (vintage) pero eso no quita que este limpia y no con telas de arañas, horno sucios y faltaba un buen barrido por toda la casa. Lo segundo es un buen mantenimiento y no que algunos puertas no cerraban, parquet roto y con carcoma, silla jardín rota y falta de pintura (se nota que es una empresa que lo gestiona). Lo tercero para comunicarnos era con Jao a través de llamada o SMS (con coste ya que era imposible por Watchapp). Lo unico bueno era la ubicación aunque muy dificil de aparcar en esa calle ya que las otras era de pago.

    Gemütliche, urige Einrichtungen

    Zusammenfassend hat das Appartement den beschriebenen Anforderungen entsprochen. Leider ist die Dusche so undicht, dass nach jedem Duschen das Bad unter Wasser stand. Der Ablauf im oberen Bad war auch undicht und das Wasser lief raus. Bei so vielen Schwachstellen ist es kein Wunder, dass sich Schimmel bildet und es muffig riecht. Das hat unseren Urlaub allerdings nicht eingeschränkt. Wir haben es mit Humor genommen und nach jedem Duschen dem Wischmob eingesetzt bzw eine Salatschüssel unter das Waschbecken gestellt. So einige Reparaturen wären für die Zukunft aber angebracht.

    Beautiful house in great location

    We really enjoyed our stay at Casa das Andorinhas, the house is delightful, loved the decor throughout and it had everything we needed. Felt like we were locals! It is also in a great location, near to the marina, old town and the beautiful beaches. You can walk to all of the amenities. We didn’t have a car but caught the bus to Porto de Mos and Sagres which were both really nice days out. The train station is also very near and we got the train back to Faro for our flight. A taxi is needed at the other end to the airport. Only negative was the hot nights and quite a lot of noise at nights but that wouldn’t stop me staying here again, loved it!

    "Uma casa portugesa" (Amalia Rodrigues)

    Det var första gången för oss att använda Vrbo men femte gången vi var i Algarve. Lagos känns som hemma och så gjorde även huset. Vi saknade ingenting förutom kaffebryggare när vi fick gäster. Den lilla mockakannan gör bara två koppar. Att hålla värmen nere fungerar faktiskt med att stänga dom tjocka fönsterluckorna. Vi klarade oss utan AC och fläktar på det viset. Miljövänligt! Vi bodde här i fyra veckor och fick nya lakan och handdukar en gång i veckan. Läget är perfekt och det är nära till centrum, bussar, tåg och en stor gratis parkeringsplats. Sängarna är hårda och gatorna är som berg-och-dalbanor men det hör Portugal till!
