We were a family of 8 and had a superb holiday staying in this villa, it was plenty big enough for us all with great outdoor spaces. The location was also perfect, very peaceful but within walking distance to a brilliant beach and Lagos town centre. We would definitely go back!

It’s hard to describe the tranquility of this place. The location and the aesthetics are so calming that even though we all had a long and complicated transit from afar, we were immediately transported to a peaceful state. We spent the week swimming and lounging and eating on repeat. Pure Bliss. It’s even better than the photos but we had trouble with transport because it’s on a dirt road overlooking the town/sea. Some taxis and rideshares wouldn’t service it so it’s best to have a car. The house had everything we needed and more. Perfect for friends and family holidaying together. One of the few places with a barrier to the pool for kids. Just book it - you won’t be disappointed!

Super home with all needed facilities to enjoy and relax for young and old.
Staff very friendly and concerned.
Hope this location will long stay as it is in this surrounding as Tourism is developing in this area either.
Great and thanks

In 1 woord: GEWELDIG!
Een práchtige villa met enorm veel ruimte, zowel binnen als buiten. Een geweldig grote keuken met alle mogelijkheden! Elke ochtend buiten ontbijten in de schaduw was een genot. Maar als je in de zon wilde zitten, waren daar ook genoeg mogelijkheden voor: overal zijn zitjes in de zon of in de schaduw. Het zwembad is ook super en schoon, net zoals de jaccuzzi. Heerlijke bedden! Mijn man en ik, onze kinderen met partners én onze kleindochter hebben van 2 jaar hebben een geweldige week gehad in dit paradijs!!!! Ik wil deze riante villa zéker aanbevelen!!!

Fabulous villa!
We stayed at the villa as a 3 generation family group and all loved it! The villa is clean and spacious and well stocked with plenty of Crockery, cutlery etc. Beautiful and large gardens but safe as fenced in. Pool and hot tub was in use everyday and loved by all. Pool fence was great too for safety. The pool is very deep so worth taking flotation aids if any non Swimmers. Location is great nearby to beaches marina and Lagos centre. We would all be happy to stay there again which says it all! Communication with owners was great too! Thank you.

Top locatie, op 10 minuten loopafstand van het strand. Heerlijk verblijf als je wakker wil worden van de natuur en niet van verkeers lawaai. Heerlijk privé om te genieten met je gezin of vrienden.

Beautiful property with an excellent location with walking access to Lagos and beach
We spent six weeks at Villa Coluna Arenosa and enjoyed it immensely. The property is beautiful with well maintained gardens full of blooming plants. The villa is spacious and very comfortable. With lots of windows, the interior feels very connected with the outdoor space. The kitchen is well equipped, very spacious, and has a view of beautiful flowering plants. The extensive patio and pool deck have a southern exposure and are bathed in delightful sunlight all day. There are lots of tables, chairs and loungers making it easy to enjoy. The property has a secluded countryside feel but is a very walkable distance to the Meia Praia (beach) and Lagos. The property manager is very responsive and professional. Their local support people are very helpful and friendly. Lagos is an enjoyable blend of old world and modern cosmopolitan. The surrounding Algarve region has magnificent scenery to explore and many outdoor activities to enjoy.

Fab villa
This villa is amazing! Perfect location, beautiful outside living area and loved the pool. The only negative was the villa was listed as having air conditioning but this wasn’t working when we arrived however when it was raised with the manager within a few hours we had fans etc. Would highly recommend and would stay here again.

A fabulous villa, close to the beach,
The villa is extremely spacious both inside and outside. The grounds are extensive; there is plenty of room around the beautiful pool to enjoy the sun. We enjoyed relaxing in the Jacuzzi as well as playing with the inflatables in the pool. The outside seating area is a great place to sit and while away the hours in the shade enjoying the views down to the sea. Sitting on the side patio in the early morning listening to and watching the many birds was another delight. The villa is well appointed with a new kitchen and revamped en-suite bedrooms . The villa is surrounded by open fields - walking through the fields and down to the beach was very easy. It is a 15 minute walk to the marina along the roads and then the same distance again into the centre of Lagos and its many restaurants. It is also possible to walk along the beach and then take the small foot ferry across to Lagos. There is a well stocked supermarket 5 minutes by car. All in all, a great location for a holiday with the extended family, but it would equally suit two families on holiday together.

Beautiful spacious villa in quiet surroundings near the beach
We stayed at the villa with two families with children and we all enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The comfortable and nicely decorated villa has all amenities you could wish for and winding down is easy in such a peaceful environment.
Highlights are the superb, enormous garden (such a joy for the eye and for playing), the view from the terrace and pool area, the swimming pool and jacuzzi, the layout of the villa and the privacy and secludedness of the property, while still being only a stone´s throw from the beach, shops and town.
We loved the ping pong table and the wide selection of beaches to choose from. The rugged west coast is also definitely worth to be visited!
Communication with owners was easy and smooth, before and during our stay.
The photos are accurate, although the garden in real is huge and even nicer than the pictures show.

Villa magnifique et spacieuse... Séjour agréable !
La villa est spacieuse et offre de nombreux équipements (piscine sécurisée par un portail, spa, table de ping pong, cuisine aménagée, etc). Aucun vis-à-vis et très grand jardin.
Elle est idéalement située (proche de la marina, de la plage et des commerces).
Très bon contact avec le propriétaire qui est très sympathique et prévenant.
Séjour très agréable dans cette magnifique villa!
Je recommande vivement !!!
