Notes on accommodation
The apartment is tiled throughout. It is one of two top floor apartments, 6th floor, and the balconies, or terraced areas, are on top of other flats. Their railings are approximately hip height for an adult, and can be seen in one of the photographs. The apartment is cool in summer, and easily made cosy when the weather is cooler. It has a lot of space, and is very private and quiet. We have a manager who will meet guests, shop for a box of groceries if required, and provide help where necessary.

The apartment is on the 6th (top) floor, and is accessible by 2 lifts and stairs. The lifts are very reliable. The flat is not suitable for wheelchair users because there are 4 steps up to the front door, and no ramp. There is a handrail, and the steps are not deep.
Outside
The apartment has a lot of outdoor terrace space; each room opens onto a balcony, with beautiful views. There is a table, chairs and parasol, and sun loungers. There is a pool on either side of the building, one a private club with heated pool, the other unheated, both with sun loungers and available for a small charge. Tennis courts are adjacent to the building. The apartment is within easy walking distance of Lagos town centre, and of 4 small beaches. There is a small supermarket nearby and a pizzeria across the road.
Coast/Beach
The biggest beach in Lagos is Meia Praia, with sailboard rental, water-ski lessons, surfing, canoeing and banana boat in season. This is a 5 minute drive or 25 minute walk from the apartment, past the harbour and marina. Dolphin safaris operate from the marina. There are several smaller beaches closer; Canaviel, 10-15 minutes walk, Don Ana, the same; both small quiet beaches. Porto de Mos, 20 minutes walk, has a cafe on the beach.
Golf
Boa Vista is the closest golf course to the apartment, approximately 5 mins drive or 15 mins walk away. It is an 18 hole course, with lovely views over the Atlantic. Palmares is a more challenging course,overlooking the Bay of Lagos and has beautiful views too. There are many other golf courses along the Algarve.

The nearest international airport is Faro, 50 miles/80km to the east along the Algarve coast. There is a motorway, the A22, between Faro and Lagos. Car hire is not essential; a shuttle bus will drop off outside the flat for 20 euros and there is an hourly bus service along the coast. Trains are slow but very cheap, although Sunday service is reduced. Most people speak some English. There are also organised tours with transport available from Lagos, e.g. to Gibraltar and Seville.
Distances
Portimao is the nearest larger town, about 10 miles east along the coast, good for shopping and Palmares Golf Course. Cape St. Vincent, Europe's most SW point, is about 20 miles west. The mountains seen in one of the photos are the Caldas de Monchique, about 20 miles away, and Silves is a small interesting old town on the way there. The old town of Faro is also worth a look. You can visit Gibraltar, Seville or Lisbon as a day trip from Lagos.

Guest comments
from D. Pittendreigh "We had such a great time, your flat is really nice and we loved staying in it. We went and did all the tourist things around the marina and went swimming at the Paradise Club. We would love the opportunity to use it in the future."
