Arrived after a long 2hr 30 min coach journey, was told the coach could not get up the narrow street, and we would have to walk to the villa, not a happy bunny!! Then we was greeted by isobel and escorted to heaven!!! The double entrance door opened and a huge hallway was upon us very cool and very boutique... more

The apartments are fine and I would return. We had a one bedroom apartment with lots of space as we had a ground floor living room and small kitchen area (the fridge is great) and a wc, 1st floor with a bedroom (comfy beds but only singles) and bathroom and a roof terrace with a room we could store the... more

Studio well appointed with everything we needed for a super two weeks. Lagos is a great resort with just enough energy and not too overpowering. The apartments are 10 mins from town downhill - which is not so funny when coming back! It is ALWAYS uphill - there are lots of hills in Lagos! The pool area is lovely, although... more

The best aspect of the Porta da Vila apartments is the location. Literally a 5 minute stroll through narrow cobbled streets from the lovely chilled out old-town of Lagos (pedestrianised, plenty of restaurants with outdoor eating, shops, a few bars but don't come to Lagos expecting hectic night life, this is a chilled out place for relaxation). In the other... more

Spent a week in the Porta Da Vila ,Lagos Portugal in August 2008. The apartments were as decribed on the website. Located just inside the old walled town , in fact the wall at the end of the pool area ,is the part of the ancient town walls. The room was clean and modern , with an excellent view over... more

Everything that previous reviewers have said, is totally true, but we would like to add a couple of comments. Firstly, on arriving at Stanstead, at 3.30a.m we were notified that the flight was delayed by two hours. Afterwhich we were told that the transfer... more

Absolutely fantastic! Can't add anything else to this review. See Chilledoutblokes review says it all and totally agree! A week in the sun, with peace and a chance to read a book with no loud music etc around! Pefect location, away from any bussle but only a five minute walk away from the centre! Loved it! more

We were going to write a full review but having just read "Chilledoutbloke's" review we feel that he has perfectly described the amazing Lagos. We were there at the same time. The only other things we would add is do go to the restaurants off the beaten track and when you get to restaurants. You also normally seat yourself not... more

My wife and I were looking for a last minute break and stumbled across the Porto Da Vila apartments in Lagos. Two days later, we were on our plane and on the way. Transfer from Faro was approximately two hours, so a bit of a haul, but it did allow us to see all the other resorts in the region... more
