About this villa rental
There cannot be many villas in or around Lagos that combine all the following features. Peaceful countryside location for utter relaxation,you literally could hear a pin drop! Panoramic views over the Bay of Lagos at the front; Monchique hills at the side and the village of Portelas at the back. Easy access to the splendid old town of Lagos with its multitude of restaurants and bars - just 1 mile to the very centre, less to the Marina, plus a private full sized pool (10m x 5m) with spacious terraces, set in a lovely secure walled garden with large grassed area for ball games. Pool heating is available at a cost of £150pw and £50 preheat if needed. Please note the villa can only sleep 6 in winter as the annex doubles up as a winter sitting room. In the Summer there is an option to sleep 8 with the annexe at additional cost of 20% of rental agreement. This villa works very well for three generations of a family and also perfect for two families, due to the annex with two extra beds at extra cost. Very baby friendly, we provide all the kit to lighten your load - cot / play pen, high chair, digital baby monitor, steriliser and bottle warmer, even a few toys and a potty!

We felt very privileged to have stayed at this glorious villa. The 3 directional views from the upstairs dining area are stunning and we enjoyed breakfast and evening meals up there. The pool area is large and has a lovely shaded seating area covered by a bougainvillea which we were delighted to find. There was an area for playing ball games with beautiful hibiscus and other lovely flowers. We were excited to find a huge selection of English books and somes games. including chess. The weather was perfect. Windy and sunny so we were pleased we had brought a jumper for the evening as the wind made the evenings cool. Perfect. Thank you! Oh yes! We saw Dolphins (book for a morning trip if you want calm seas) and took a speed boat to see the Benagil caves from Portimao which was beautiful. The walk along the cliffs near Carvoeiro was stunning and the jump from the rocks into the sea very scary!

Excellent villa, peaceful but close enough to town. Lovely pool & garden area. A great kitchen & bbq area.
Floats & toy box for the grandkids.
A small hot water issue but fixed promptly.
My only recommendation would be a stair gate.
Highly recommended.

We both really enjoyed the beautiful Casa Miradouro at close distance from Lagos. The location is excellent. Supermarkets are at close distance. Numerous both 4 stars and cheap local restaurants are close by. Cleaning team were professionals and each question was answered promptly to full satisfaction. We look forward to come back same period (janu-febru) next year. Thank you all!!

A peaceful and very comfortable villa in an ideal location. Some wonderful views and a lovely garden with almond trees and lemon and orange trees in the orchard. A well maintained and heated pool added to the enjoyment.
The property manager is very helpful if needed.
With no hesitation we have booked a return visit.

Great villa, great location. Everything we needed for a weeks break

We loved staying at this house. It was located in a quiet neighborhood overlooking Lagos yet was very close to the everything that Lagos has to offer - e.g., the marina, grocery stores, old town, restaurants, museums, the beach., etc. We spent 5 weeks there and loved everything.

The outdoor property of the villa is magnificent! Lawn area for kids’ play, orange and lemon orchard, pool that can be heated for an additional charge and lovely gardens. Inside was spacious for 4 adults and 2 children. The Villa was cool in February but made comfortable with new heaters. We were charged in advance an extra fee for electricity for a party of six using the Villa in the winter months.
The downstairs bathrooms have been updated and are spacious and comfortable. The upper level bathroom and quaint kitchen have not yet been updated. Great views overlooking Lagos out to the sea from the upstairs terrace.
The Property Manager was always responsive and informative and rectified issues quickly.

Really enjoyed our week at the villa in Falfeira. The heated (at extra cost) pool is fabulous and the grounds are immaculate. The views are superb and the neighbourhood very quiet. Exceptionally convenient for access to Lagos. However the villa itself is rather tired (although presents well externally), with an 'old house' aroma not helped by the smell of drains in one of the bathrooms (we did report this to the managing agent but as we did not want tradesmen visiting we chose to put up with it). The kitchens need updating and they stand in contrast to the modernised bathrooms. Beds (only singles) were very comfortable. The windows and doors are ancient and difficult to operate and secure. We ran out of gas but this was rapidly attended to by the managing agent - top marks! There are no flywires.
In summary, if you are looking for luxury then look elsewhere. However the villa does provide reasonable, albeit basic accommodation, very much ameliorated by the excellent location and the grounds and the pool. Indeed the property is really all about the superb swimming pool where we spent most of our time, as the weather during our stay in early October was fabulous.

We had a great time together as a family in and around the villa. The garden has a lot of different places to chill and the pool is fantastic! Also great bbq!
We loved the view during breakfast at the balcony that’s connected to the living upstairs. The bathrooms are very well renovated.
Contact with owner in advance and during stay was very pleasant and helpful , we received a lot of information from her about the villa and tips for activities and restaurants in the Algarve. Also very accurate and kind local hosts.
We really hope to return once again!

Great villa, good location close to Lagos town & marina. Spotlessly clean & well maintained. Cannot fault communication from the owners, would recommend and would definitely stay again.

We loved everything about the villa. It was the perfect setting for our Canadian/English family holiday after being apart for so long. The garden is lovely and the lawn and pool provided many hours of fun and games for our multi-age group ranging in age from 5 to 80!

We spent two wonderful weeks at Casa do Miradouro.
We really appreciated the comfort of the upstairs lounge and the quality of the bedding.
As for the kitchen, we found everything we needed.
Thanks to Rosemary and Nicola for the prompt and excellent service.

We spent a relaxing 7 night break taking in the Autumn Algarve Sun. The villa and pool area were all that we wished for. Secluded but not to far away from Lagos. We would return,

Wonderful week at a lovely villa.
The villa is really well equipped and the setting is just so peaceful - it was impossible not to relax!
We enjoyed the large pool and the bbq. The villa is spacious, very clean with modern bathrooms. Lagos centre is only 5 minutes by car (or taxi).
4.7
The house and pool are very nice, although there were too many wasps that made the meal times a bit unpleasent. Another aspect, on a more visual side, is that most of the plants neer the pool are dried up and might need a little bit more attention from the gardener. Other than that we had the loveliest stay wich we will gladly recomend to our friends and family.

Very nice stay.

We had a very relaxing time at the villa with our two teenage sons. Especially loved the pool and all it’s various areas where you can practically track the sun through the day, beautiful well maintained garden and BBQ/sheltered patio area. The owners have taken great care in leaving listings of recommended restaurants and activities of which Lagos has many. (We’d add the crazy golf at the back of the town walls for a bit of family fun-even teenagers).
Some minor things we feel could be adjusted- Maybe too many notices about the place about security and recent thefts in the area - slightly spooked our sons who saw the notes.
We were fortunate to have great sunny days - it was hot especially to sleep at night and full air con would have been nice, as well as mosquito nets to keep some very persistent ones out.
Nearby Lagos is a very lovely town and area - we have retuned many times over the years. You need a car to get to Lagos and access the ‘wilder western beaches’.
Everything we needed was available in the villa. We would love to come back,and thoroughly enjoyed our break.

The villa was spotlessly clean and had very well managed grounds. The pool was well maintained and cleaned twice during our fortnights stay. The villa is excellently located in a rural setting with splendid views of the ocean and countryside yet close to supermarkets and all the amenities of Lagos. Doreen provided very thorough and extensive information about restaurants, points of interest, places to visit and local information which was extremely useful to us. The villa was well equipped and we enjoyed picking oranges for our freshly squeezed juice in the morning a d lemons for our evening g+t .We would definitely like to return although as a party of 6 rather than 8 as we would not use the annex as an additional bedroom again. The fold up beds were low and uncomfortable and made the sitting room cramped for space.. Apart from that it was excellent.

Lovely Villa in a great location. Communications with owner and agent very easy. An ideal family holiday with a great heated pool.

We were delighted to arrive after a long journey and were not disappointed. The villa was very clean and welcoming, the maid had put the heaters on so it was nice and warm inside as well as out. We explored the house and found everything needed for a great holiday. The pool looked fantastic and we quickly got ready for a swim which was lovely. We found a very good taxi firm which came to collect us every evening, so no need to worry about drinking and there was an ample supply of taxis to bring us back the fare being a very reasonable 5/6 euros. We followed the recommendations re restaurants in the owners local notes and found these very reliable without exception.We spent most of our time lounging around the pool at the villa but did venture out to beaches now and again and explored further afield towards the west coast. We were particularly fond of Ingrina and Salema on the way and the beaches up the west coast are all very stunning and almost undiscovered. The beach bars are all very good, but it's a shame they have all been made to conform to certain rules which has robbed them of their individual style. Nearer to home, we particularly like the restaurants at Porto de Mos, as you are right on the beach and can enjoy spectacular sunsets. It is worthwhile going inland through Portelas and up to Bensafrim then twirl around and go back through Barao St Juao and St Miguel, an unspoilt area of the Algarve unchanged by time. In short a great holiday with lots of variety .

We very much enjoyed our stay in the Casa do Miradouro in Falfeira, a small rural neighborhood on the outskirts of Lagos. The house is quite large, with great views out over the valley and down to the harbor & beaches east of Lagos. It is wonderfully quiet, and peaceful, and Lagos is almost deserted in late December. Weather here was great for the season-- low 60's (F) and mostly sunny for the entire 2 weeks we were there. The pool is heated (though for extra cost!), and works even in this off-season. The house itself is a bit odd in design, but well appointed. It has two very nicely refitted new full bathrooms with heated floors and towel bars, but the kitchen is a bit spartan, and the fireplace in the main living room does not work. The doors and windows are a bit old and need to be treated carefully, but they are secure and functional. If it is privacy and seclusion you are seeking, with a view and convenient access to everything in Lagos, this is your spot! if you seek something brand new and uber-luxurious, keep looking ;-)
