About this villa rental
Quinta Dos Raposos is a 7 bedroom premier villa with a south facing aspect. The spacious light and bright two storey villa provides a panoramic view of the coastline from both floors of the house and as such the aspect showcases all that the western Algarve has to offer. The property has arguably the best sea facing views on the Funchal ridge.
The grounds of the property have a magnificent three swimming pool complex that consists of a 20 metre lap pool with inbuilt Jacuzzi, a waterfall dropping down into a large main pool which then feeds an infant friendly ‘paddling pool’. Surrounding the pools are large lush grounds that provide plenty of areas for sun worshipers to enjoy and kids to play, as well as plenty of space for some relaxed quiet time. There are several seating areas and options outside around the property for all.

Both the lounge area and bedroom area have access to a private patio with seating. This room is perfect for a family with small children or for a more discerning guest who likes a little peace and quiet, maybe away from the children!
Back at the entrance of the property to the right you will find the staircase that leads to a mid section/corridor as well as the upper main floor. Firstly if you go up a few stairs and towards a separate corridor you will find two more of the properties bedrooms.
The first bedroom off the corridor is a large long bedroom. This long room has a king sized bed, chester drawers, a relaxing lounging chair and built in wardrobes. The en-suite bathroom has a shower, two sinks, toilet and bidet.

In terms of the grounds, the house is accessed through its own driveway and entrance and has room for multiple cars.

Quinta Dos Raposos on its elevated position boasts one of the best views in the area without question and is designed for families with kids that love to play and swim.
Maid Service prior to arrival so that the house will be fully set up. There will also be a mid week clean with towel change and if you are staying for a second week then there will be a full clean with towels and bedding change for the second week plus a mid week clean.

Quinta Dos Raposos is well located, with easy access to all local amenities. Beaches, activities, restaurants and shops are all within a short 5 / 10 minute drive. The location provides choices to the vacationers in and around Lagos.
Lagos is an historic city, with narrow cobbled streets in the old quarter, which offers many street cafes and restaurants; there is plenty of choice depending on your tastes. The town offers a great selection of nightlife comprising of bars and clubs. So it is a town that caters for all ages. The fabulous Lagos marina also offers a further selection of restaurants and cafes, as well as tour-operated services such as cruises, fishing and boat trips.
Lagos also boasts the beautiful sandy Meia Praia beach, which again has some good choices of restaurants. To the west of the Lagos follow the coastline and you will find the beaches at Praia D'Ana and Porto Do Mos, both with interesting rock formations and excellent for snorkelling. Restaurants and informal cafes can be found along this route.
Further along the coast and visible from the house is the town of Praia Da Luz. Luz has a family friendly beach sheltered by the ‘Black Rock’. The long promenade that runs along the beach also lends itself to many choices of cafes, restaurants and shops. It also has several market stalls and artist displays. You will also find Roman Baths from the 3rd to 5th century A.D. This historic site can be accessed from the promenade.
Just a short 15/20 minutes drive away is the wonderful village and beach of Burgau. Burgau still holds onto its fishing village charm but also offers plenty of small curiosity shops, cafes and restaurants. The rock pools at either end of the beach offer plenty of activities for young children to view some of the local sea life!
Travel further west and you can also visit the gorgeous fishing village of Selema and surfing enthusiasts can enjoy the beaches and water of Sagres.
There are 5 great supermarkets all within 5 to 10 mins drive from the house. Along with the main supermarkets there is a Saturday fruit and vegetable market in Lagos near the bus station and a fantastic very helpful daily morning fish market, a must visit when in town.
The grounds of the property have a magnificent three swimming pool complex that consists of a 20 metre lap pool with inbuilt Jacuzzi, a waterfall dropping down into a large main pool which then feeds an infant friendly ‘paddling pool’.

We stayed as a family group of 11 ranging in age from 3 years old to 76!
Each of the age groups really enjoyed our week in different ways. The kids and younger adults made extensive use of the 3 pools, from playing to serious exercising. The other facilities including the gym, basketball hoop and table tennis were also used frequently.
The house is the best equipped one we have ever stayed in with the range of facilities from barbecue to drinks coolers to cooking equipment exceptional.
Probably best of all was the vast amount of space in the house which meant we were all able to enjoy our stay without being on top of one another - a bonus which allowed for quiet time as well as family oriented time.
Exceptional!

This property was the best Villa we have stayed in. Incredible outside area with loads of outdoor seating and dining space. The kitchen had everything we could have asked for and it was easy to cater for our party of ten. The listing and photos don't do it justice. Thanks for a wondwrful stay.

Our family have just completed our second consecutive family holiday here. Ranging in age between 1 and 80, everyone had a wonderful time. A beautiful villa, equipped and maintained to a very high standard.
Lots of activities and places to visit, all within a short drive.As it appears in the photos! Lovely garden and gorgeous pools, suitable for all ages. Worthy of all its 5star reviews.

We had the most AMAZING family holiday here. 13 of us in total, slept wonderfully. The villa itself was perfect. The villa had everything and more that we needed. It was self catering at the highest level. There was space for everyone to be together and places to relax away from the crowd. The three swimming pools were the highlight for the children, endless hours of fun. The outdoor kitchen provided a great space to prepare and eat together. We didn’t want to leave! The villa was cleaned to the highest standard, mid week cleaning of the villa and pool made the stay very comfortable.
The villa was in a great location, close to Luz and Lagos.
Melanie was a wonderful host, the attention to detail was second to none the extra touches of snacks on arrival, Epsom salts for the bath, adapters in every room etc.
We were sad to leave, thanks for a wonderful stay. I’d highly recommend you this villa to anyone, it was incredible!

This is a wonderful, large villa with superb pools and lovely gardens. The facilities are excellent and it's within 10-15 minutes drive of whatever you might need.
The very-responsive owner went above and beyond to get us extra equipment for two babies and a beautiful, handmade birthday cake for Woody, who turned 3 on our first day there. The management company were equally brilliant.
A floor plan on the site would be very useful, although it worked perfectly for us (two little families, a couple and Nana). On the ground floor, there is a separate one bed flat with outdoor sitting, kitchen/living and one other ensuite bedroom (twin), as well as the kitchen, utility and living/dining area. On the first level, there are two large ensuite bedrooms - one with the only bath. At the top there are two double bedrooms with balconies and ensuite bathrooms, a sitting/games room and a room with three single beds and a trundle bed.
There are also pool toys, beach umbrellas, buckets and spades and games in the store room, by the outside loo. Pool towels are provided. There is loads of parking. The outdoor kitchen was great!
I couldn't be more delighted. I'm sad to be home tonight.
We all want to come back next year!

From the moment we booked villa Quinta Dos Raposos up until actually arriving at the villa, our host Melanie was fantastic, sending lots of useful information about the villa and surrounding areas.
Upon arrival there was a lovely welcome pack, very much appreciated.
The villa is outstanding, spotlessly clean inside and out. Bedrooms and bathrooms fantastic, complimentary toiletries, large soft towels and very comfortable beds. Attention to detail throughout the villa goes above and beyond.
The kitchen is fully equipped with ever You could possibly need, plenty of storage.
Lots of different areas inside and out to relax. There were eleven of us, 8 adults and three children, plenty of places to spend together or have time to yourself.
The swimming pools are fantastic, we all made very good use of them.
Great views of the countryside and the ocean.
We sorted out an airport transfer to get us all to the villa and then hired a small car (for supermarket runs) through Luz cars, which was delivered to the villa on the day we arrived, so much easier than sorting out a hire car at the airport.
It is so easy to order an Uber taxi, which are very reasonable. We also used Manuel F Camacho Duarte taxi service, excellent service. We have left their card in the villa and highly recommend them.
We visited Lagos and Praia DaLuz many times throughout our stay, the beaches are fantastic and an abundance of great cafes and restaurants.
A lovely family holiday. Thank you Melanie

A truly lovely villa.Beautifully designed and equipped with everything you could possibly need! Stunning views over the countryside, and of the sea in the distance. Very spacious but also extremely sociable. We’ve had a wonderful holiday and would return in a heartbeat!
Very well deserving of a five star review!

We recently enjoyed a wonderful holiday in this beautiful villa. Everything had been thought of, beautifully designed, great comfy beds! My best bit was waking early and gazing at the view from the master bed. Pool was great fun. We have been looking for somewhere wonderful to rent in their area and have always been disappointed- this time we really couldn’t have asked for more lovely cleaners too! Thank
You!

House exceeded all of her expectations!- pools were great, very elegant and spacious house. Close to town and the beaches, although we could’ve been very happy just staying at the house all week. Loved it!!

We first stayed at the property 5 years ago and have wanted to return but the pandemic and extensive renovations to the house delayed our plans. We travelled as a family group of 11 which was 8 adults and 3 children. Ages ranged from 63 to 1 year old. The house was perfect for all of us and we had plenty of space to relax. The house is well equipped with a purpose built gym , beautiful functional kitchen and more than enough tableware , kitchen gadgets etc. We made use of the large gas barbecue and on the nights we didn't want to cook and on Melanie's recommendation used Ubereats We also arranged for someone to cook for us one night and she was very impressed with the villa and the kitchen in particular. We made great use of both the lap pool and the larger pool both of which were suitable for the younger members of our party. The garden area provided enough space for badminton, football and a nice area for the toddlers to run around. There is no need really to leave the villa but we did find that apart from the small car that we mainly used for supermarket runs the best way to get around and explore Lagos was to use Uber taxis which are very reasonable.
All the bedrooms and showers are of high hotel quality and everyone felt that they had a lovely bedroom. Melanie's communication beforehand was excellent. We feel very fortunate to have stayed in this extraordinary villa and made some very special memories.

We’ve just returned from a wonderful week in your villa and wow, it completely blew us away! What a fantastic place - the bedrooms were all amazing and spacious, the kitchen well equipped and the pool was probably the best we’ve seen (we’ve had many villa holidays!). The location was perfect - very quiet and the views were fabulous. We’ve visited Lagos for many years now and we wouldn’t hesitate to come back to your villa in the future. Thanks so much - great experience !

I’ve been lucky enough to stay in many villas and this has to be one of the best. Beautifully designed and decorated and the outside is perfect for a large group who want to spread around, especially being spoilt for choice on the pools. Something that hasn’t been mentioned is the top pool for the elderly/less mobile. We managed to get my father (87) in a pool for the first time in years, it was wonderful. Melanie couldn’t have been more helpful with information and help pre holiday, which helped me immensely. Amazing villa, view. So close to Lagos we just ubered everywhere. Thoroughly recommend

14 of us,10adults and 4 children had a brilliant time at the villa for 2 weeks.
It was very large as we hoped and we received fantastic info before the holiday and help from Melanie and her management team whilst there.
Villa pictures on the internet do not do it justice.
Did not want to leave.

Ein fantastischer Urlaub
Wir hatten mit der ganzen Familie inklusive Baby eine wundervolle Zeit in der Finca! Wir wurden super freundlich empfangen und der Kühlschrank war netterweise extra für uns schon mit etwas Essen und Getränken gefüllt. Die Finca ist exakt wie beschrieben und wie in den Bildern zu sehen - alles war sauber und gut ausgestattet. Einige Gesellschaftsspiele, Bälle und ähnliches sind auch für die Gäste verfügbar. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt und Jo war jeder Zeit für Rückfragen erreichbar. Die Finca ist ruhig gelegen man ist aber innerhalb von 10 Minuten mit dem Auto in Lagos. Wir sind super Happy und können die Finca nur weiterempfehlen. Danke für den fantastischen Urlaub in dieser traumhaften Finca.

Beautiful Home, Outstanding Hospitality
From our first contact with Melanie, the homeowner, the hospitality shown to us was outstanding. Before we arrived, Melanie sent us all the information we would need to find the home, use the appliances and technology and enjoy our Lagos stay. Upon our arrival, we were promptly and pleasantly greeted by Jo, who showed us around the villa and made herself available during our stay for any question or issues. There was also a generous gift that included fruit and breakfast supplies in the kitchen. The villa is incredibly spacious -- with plenty of light and private space. We had 5 adult couples for our stay. While there were two twin rooms that were significantly smaller than the 3 other HUGE bedrooms, everyone was pleased with their accommodations. Even though the weather was colder than expected, we spent all our time on the porches and balconies taking in the beautiful views of Lagos and Luz and the sea beyond. The location of the home is ideal for day trips and Lagos was only a few minutes away. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and we were left wanting for nothing -- a real testament from group of foodies who spent every evening cooking together. The villa is situated to offer plenty of privacy and there was more than enough room to park our 4 cars. I cannot imagine a nicer place from which to explore the Algarve.

Fantastic house with an amazing view
The house was better than the pictures showed, the pools were great fun. The view is just wonderful. Jo and Peter were at the end of the phone if we needed them, they had filled the house with goodies for when we arrived. Wonderful time was had by all.

Memorable family holiday
We rented the villa as a family group of 7 adults and one baby to celebrate the 30th birthday of our eldest son. As previous reviewers have noted the villa exceeded all of our expectations and the rooms and grounds are even better in real life. We didn't venture out too far, just a couple of trips out in the mornings and a few meals in Lagos at night. The villa was so beautiful we wanted to make the most of our time there. We hired 2 cars from Avis at the airport and the journey is really straightforward. The villa has the feel of staying at a small hotel set in well kept gardens. The welcome pack was exceptional and provided us with a lovely lunch on the day of our arrival prior to a big supermarket shop. Our favourite supermarket Pingo Doce at Lagos marina. Great barbecue items, salad pastries etc to keep us all well fed. There are many extras in the villa that cater for everything, great coffee machine, domestic appliances , pool items, games and board games. The linen and towels are good quality. Jo met us at the villa and explained things to us and when we needed to contact her for advice on taxis etc while we were there she was prompt at coming back to us. Prior to arriving Melanie was exceptionally helpful and we are very grateful to her for allowing us to have the best family holiday ever at the villa.
We are all in agreement that we would like to revisit in the future.

Just amazing!
This holiday was amazing. It started already with the communication with Melanie and kept going on with a perfect introduction by Jo and Peter. We are travelling a lot and we have never seen such a well-equipped house. The kitchen had everything that a cook may desire. We can only recommend this house and we will definitely go back.

Quinta de Raposos was the perfect villa for our stay in Portugal. The house, grounds and pools are immaculatley maintained. The kids (and bigger kids!) had a wonderful time playing in the pools with evertyhting you could need to enjoy yourself in this special place already thought of.The service from the owners and their local help was responsive and friendly. My only complaint was that going for a run did mean some pretty dramatic hills! I guess the views made it worthwhile.Great villa, fantastic location and excellent facilities.We'll be back

Heaven on earth!!!!
This is truly a special place!! From the first email contact with Melanie & Iain this has been such a pleasurable experience. As has been said before, the photo's don't do justice to the spacious rooms, amazing views and well equipped villa you find yourself in. Melanie & Iain's home is a slice of paradise and amazing value for money. The villa itself is beautiful, well maintained, tastefully decorated and so well equipped. The photo's don't capture the size of the rooms & it's a pleasant surprise how light and airy it is on arrival. Melanie has been fantastic from the start, so friendly and accommodating of my MANY questions and requests! It has been like communicating with an old friend, adding to the whole experience for me. Similarly, Peter and Jo are lovely managers, greeting us warmly on arrival ,being on hand to deal with an electrical problem and giving "local knowledge" tips on places to visit too. The welcome "pack" was a generous selection of drinks, food and sweets and treats.. above and beyond the usual! The pools were brilliant, the lap pool being the biggest revelation! We thought we would be using the main pool more but found that being right by the kitchen the lap pool was almost in constant use from the minute the children got up (7.30am!!) til they had gone to bed and the grown-ups had it to themselves (11.30pm!). The fact that it is right next to the kitchen meant even if you were preparing food ( or pouring drinks!) you were still part of the fun. The views were my favourite part of this Portuguese paradise, from Lagos in the east to Praia da luz in the west the mix of countryside and town with glimpses of sea too make it hard to beat. The villa is perfectly situated only 5 minute drive from a large Intermarche supermarket and close to the main A22 road which meant the 55 minute drive from Faro Airport and any travelling up and down the Algarve coast is made easy( without intrusive road noise though). While there, we visited Sagres, Cape St Vincent, Praia's Luz, Camilo, D'Ana & Porto de Mos as well as a sunset at Ponta de Piedade ..all totally stunning and well worth a visit. We hired cars through LuzCars as recommended by Melanie in the information pack you get on completing the booking and found them to be brilliant too! In summary you would be hard pressed to find anywhere better, owned by anyone lovelier and situated anywhere more perfect - a real gem. Thank you for giving us such a memorable venue for our family gathering.

Beautiful quality, fantastic home from home
This is a super property, stylish and beautifully furnished, simple, comfortable, relaxed. The linens, towels, beach towels and bedding are super soft and luxurious. We went with just a family of four, children of 14 and 7. Indeed younger children would need constant supervision by the pools but this is in principle a fantastic property for any group make up with plenty of space and wonderful facilities to quite easily accommodate 10 people, all enjoying their own bathroom, bedroom and living space area while sharing an inviting large dining room, kitchen and numerous patios, terraces, balconies, and of course the three fantastic pools. We especially enjoyed the wonderful barbecue and table tennis. You cannot fail to love this place and wish to return. Absolutely value for money. The living space is massive. We didn't do the surrounding area justice as we simply wanted to enjoy time in the property and grounds with our children but would recommend the zoo near, Lagos, (lovely and personal, with free-running wallabies), and we visited Lagos and Aqualand, both lovely trips. The owner, Melanie, is very attentive and customer focused and the managers, cleaners and team who maintain the property, grounds and pools all professional. Highly recommended. Thank you Melanie and Iain. We hope to come back again in the future now we know of this gem's existence. All best wishes, The Drijfhout Family, Netherlands

Beautiful Villa, Great Location and amazing welcome!
We had a fantastic 2 weeks in Portugal. The Villa is stunning and fantastically equipped. The pools are lovely and the views amazing. The owners left a brilliant welcome pack and foods and wines to enable us to relax from the moment we arrived. I would thoroughly recommend this villa.

Quinta Dos Raposos
This really is a five star villa. Great space and facilities and it was tastefully and immaculately furnished and provisioned. It was ideal for our party of 10 as there is plenty of space internally and externally to group together or to find a little privacy when required. A car is essential as there are no shops or restaurants within walking distance and the swimming pools might not suit families with young children as the water is not guarded and toddlers would have to be watched the whole time when outside or when the kitchen windows are open. Having said that, we travel a lot and the space, value and quality were fantastic for our two families with teenagers.

Great property and highly recommended
Fantastic villa, and the whole family - 6 adults and 3 children - all had a wonderful time. We were given a warm welcome by the House Manager and found the villa was extremely well equipped including a great kitchen and even pool towels. The villa is in a quiet location, but close to shops, supermarkets and restaurants. The villa was spotless when we arrived and the cleaners who came in mid-week did a great job. All round, a great experience. We would love to go back.
