About this villa rental
Villa 23 is a newly built luxury villa located in an exceptionally beautiful and special location on the headland of Ponta da Piedade. Inside the villa is finished to a very high standard, is immaculately clean and has everything you need for a relaxing luxury holiday including air conditioning throughout, a gas fireplace, underfloor heating, WIFI and cable TV. The living area, kitchen, dining room and master bedroom (with ensuite) are situated on the first floor with a full length terrace and sea views. The further three bedrooms are situated on the ground floor all have ensuite bathrooms and access to the pool area. Outside are separate roof, terrace and ground level areas for private relaxation and sun lounging, a swimming pool (which can be heated for a cost of £150 per week), gas BBQ and eating area.
Villa 23 was built and decorated by us and we are very proud of it. We have been holidaying in the Algarve for many years and we wanted the Villa to represent the very highest standard of self catering accommodation.
Ponte de Piedade is one of the most scenic locations in Portugal. Within minutes walk of the villa are stunning beaches, golden cliffs and rock formations including Camilo Beach (4 mins - hailed by the Huffington Post as the most beautiful beach in the world!) and Praia de Dona Ana (10 mins). The villa is located at the starting point of some of the most beautiful walking, running and cycling pathways in Portugal that continue West along the cliffs for many kilometres. The villa is also only a 20/25 minute walk from historic Lagos with its marina and many shops and restaurants. Nearby activities include sea kayaking, mountain biking, sailing, golf, surfing, hiking/running, snorkelling. The nearest restaurant is the excellent seafood restaurant, O Camilo, (2 mins walk) but there are many others within walking distance and a huge choice around Lagos.
There are 3 great golf courses within a 10/15 minute drive. Boavista (5 mins), Palmares (10 minutes) and Espiche 10/15 minutes. In addition Faldo Amendoeira Golf Course and Alamos Golf Course are around 30 minutes drive away.
Some building work is still being carried out on the development but not close to the villa so should be of little/no disruption. The weekly rental rates have been reduced to reflect this.

This really is an incredible property in an outstanding location!
It is apparent that a huge amount of effort has gone into the design, layout and landscaping of the house and we appreciated everything. Especially the sea view from the top terrace in the morning!
Situated just steps away from one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and close to Lagos and Luz - it was ideal for our family.
We had the very best time, bbq in the outdoor kitchen and lazy days around the pool as well as nights out to the two restaurants just 5mins walk away and evenings in Lagos.
Excellent communication with the owner and management company and everything was as listed.
Thank you so much, it was perfect - we will be back.

Overall, we had a great stay in this lovely villa. It is very well equipped and furnished to a high standard with beautiful and comfy outdoor seating.
The location itself is fabulous. Just beside a stunning coastal boardwalk & beaches, and only a short Uber ride into the old town (you could walk to if feeling energetic). Getting an Uber couldn’t have been easier.. only ever 2-3 mins wait & cheap as chips. Unless you want to go driving to other towns, you really dont need a car here. Supermarkets also within easy walking distance. It’s front row of the estate facing a road that can be busy at times, so it’s not a peaceful location. But on balance, it’s hard to top where the villa is situated.
Hazel was great at communicating with us & Maria (local manager) was responsive and helpful for everything we needed.
A few niggles with the pool, which I understand will be sorted end of season.
The Villa was perfectly clean when we got there, but in retrospect, I should have paid extra for a mid week clean, since the windy weather in the area blows in a lot of dust, so the whole outdoor area was a bit grimy by the end of our week. Although not a major issue, the villa does need a bit of attention in some spots, as the paintwork was peeling in the master bedroom. Some extra touches would also help to make it a 10/10. E.g. better quality bath & pool towels.
Overall great stay & great value for money. Thank you!

This is a very nice Villa,
Perfect for couples or families. Nicely appointed bedrooms with en suite baths. A beautiful terrace to enjoy cocktails or a barbecue. Conveniently located 10 min from grocery stores, marina jand restaurants . This was our first experience with a VRBOand we were there for 12 days so you need to remember that you need to provide everything- from shampoo to soap to all your food including condiments. Honestly, the only annoying issue was the induction range which is impossible to cook with! Maria is very responsive. The one issue not fully disclosed is they while the beach is a 5 min walk-that is to the entrance it is another 230 steps down to the beach and therefore 230 steps back up! However there are some beautiful beaches a short 15- 20 min away with lovely board walks and restaurants. Would definitely recommend this property.

We had a wonderful stay at the villa. It was exactly as described. The villa was very clean and had everything we needed to make it our home for a week. We paid to have the pool heated. The temperature was perfect. It is conveniently located near lovely beaches and town. An easy walk to both. I highly recommend.

The Villa was beautiful and in a peaceful but accessible location to the town and beaches. Would definitely recommend to others and the owner was very good at getting a hold of leading up to our stay and whilst we were there.
If looking for an excursion, would 100% recommend the Kayak tour around the caves, great value for money!

This was a special family trip for us and this villa was perfect. Great location, lots of paths close by and the walk to Old Town was lovely. This is a beautiful villa with luxury finishes. It was nice to end our day with a dip in the heated pool.

The villa did not disappoint and we were so happy it was our last stop as it would have been hard to top. I would definitely recommend paying the extra to heat pool. I would suggest a few more serving platters. All in all loved the villa and would to see area in 5 years as it looks like it is developing into something amazing.
Thank you!

We really enjoyed our two week stay with friends and family
The Villa and gardens and pool (we chose to have it heated) are lovely as is the location - with some of the best coastline in the algarve within a few minutes walk.
Great selection of good quality restaurants all within 30 minutes walk (two are just 5 minutes away) - our host Hazel made some great recommendations - her communication from the minute we booked could not have been better
We will be back!

What a way to spend a week celebrating friendships and life milestones! The location was excellent; 15-20 walking to the historic centre, shops, restaurants and supermarkets (Uber home with groceries if you have a lot). Best of all, the villa was located steps away from some of the most beautiful scenery, beaches and hiking areas. Would highly recommend a kayaking tour by “days of adventure” to see the caves from the water.
Thank you Hazel.

Top class villa
The villa delivered on everything and the pictures don’t do it justice! Amazing place with loads of space both inside and out. All the furniture you require. Bedrooms and showers perfect. You’d be hard pushed to better this place? Excellent, relaxing week.

Even better than the pictures
Stunning property, in a quiet location. Just minutes walk from a secluded beach.
We had waited 2 years for our holiday due to various covid restrictions, but it was worth it.

Simply outstanding
The property is absolutely outstanding.
Beautiful, spacious rooms; huge windows letting in loads of light; fully equipped with everything you could possibly need; cozy and comfortable - a completely relaxing experience.
Location is also fantastic with access to beaches, Lagos town and marina, and trails and walks, all within just a few minutes walk.
A beautiful villa in a beautiful part of the Algarve.
Hazel and Maria were both fantastic and looked after us completely. Everything was taken care of with no fuss.
And did I mention the pool - such a great way to spend a day relaxing poolside whilst the kids played all day
Would not hesitate to visit again.

Amazing, Stunning, Beautiful Villa
We had the most incredible vacation. After two years without travelling this break couldn't have come at a better time. Hazel is the most amazing host and the villa, its amenities and location were just perfect. On reflection this was probably the best family holiday for a very long time. The villa is immaculate, the communication with Hazel was first class. We will be booking again!!

An excellent property in a perfect location.
The villa is located on the Ponta da Piedade, possibly the most spectacular golden rock and cave formation in the entire Algarve. At first we didn't understand why so many people were coverging there until we took a look for ourselves, it is truly stunning. No need to struggle looking to park for us of course, we just crossed the road. Just to make clear, the tourists do not affect the enjoyment of the local scenery or the villa as they are parked away from the property.
There are two spectacularly scenic beaches a short walk away.
Camilo, a superb fish resuarant is across the road, though due to its popularity we found it difficult to get booked but would have dined there daily had it been possible. It is very reasonably priced for such quality seafood and fish, a fraction of what you pay in London. There are also many other quality restaurants a short drive away as well as Lagos town and seafront for a greater choice of drinking and dining.
Inside the villa has every modern convenience from the large walk-in showers in every bedroom to air conditioning throughout. The villa is well spaced over three floors and the multiple terraces are perfect for occasional solitude. There is a large pool with plenty of sun loungers and garden furniture.
We hired a car and would recommend it as there are so many places to visit.
The villa is well managed and the owners take a genuine interest in your enjoyment. Overall this proved to be an excellent holiday choice for us.

Heaven during lockdown
We spent 2 months in Lagos during the winter. This luxury villa is brand new, very bright and spacious, and extremely comfortable. The views are breathtaking. Beautiful ensuite bedrooms with amazing beds and powerful showers. Super-fast Internet. Cozy underfloor heating throughout. Gorgeous garden.
Excellent communication with the owner. There were a few teething issues but she responded immediately.
Very close to the centre of Lagos (what a great town!), but more importantly, on your doorstep you have access to the most amazing walks along the clifftops of Piedade, all the way to Luz and beyond. And for golfers there's a very nice driving range literally across the road.
Even in lockdown with everything closed except supermarkets we never ran out of things to do. The weather was hotter and sunnier than we would have ever imagined. I'm sure we will go back!

Pefect Villa
The villa leaves nothing to be desired. We have been to several villas in america and europe, but this house was by far the most beautiful. the pictures on fewodirect correspond to reality. The villa has exceeded our expectations. We recommend the villa to others and will come back again. thanks to maria and mrs hazel for the support
