PERFECT

The condo is beautiful, well designed, spacious, and very comfortable. The view is awesome through the huge windows or from the large deck. We were there in November, so we did not make use of the pool, which looked inviting. The location is central for easy drives to the grocery store, gas station, downtown, beaches, and the highway to explore in both directions. The hosts Michel and Dominque were great at communication. Absolutely perfect stay!

A perfect place for a family vacation. Two very spacious bedrooms with lots of closet space and very comfortable beds. Incredibly clean! The kitchen had everything you could ask for. The balcony was by far our favourite place to be. The view was stunning! The owners were very easy to get in touch with and were helpful.

First time in the Algarve

The property was in a great location to the beach and the hiking path along the cliff with amazing views. Pictures are accurate. The owners took the time to show us around the property/grounds and provided great recommendations for amazing restaurants. The only things we'd recommend would be better quality beach chairs and a small cooler for the beach. We'd absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend.

Wonderful stay, highly recommend!

We had such a wonderful stay at Dominique & Michel’s appartement! The place was very clean, something that is super important to us, and truly felt like home. Just a few minutes walk from the beach, we enjoyed Praia de Porto Mós, the breathtaking views, and some hikes around. Quick 5 minutes car rides (we mainly used Uber) were able to have us enjoy many excellent restaurants downtown Lagos ( Green Room, Case do Prego, The 7 hills, Nah Nah Bah to name a few). Absolutely recommend +++

Fantastic apartment with beautiful view

We had an amazing time staying at this lovely apartment. The owners were extremely nice and helpful, which made the stay very special. The check-in process was very smooth. The unit is very spacious and has a great view. The attention to detail and cleanliness was much appreciated. The grounds are immaculate and the trail is right off the front side of the property so you can walk the cliffs either a short walk to Porto do Mós beach or the other direction to Luz. The beds are very comfortable and the unit is nicely decorated. The apartment really is even better than it looks in the photos. We cannot wait to stay there again soon!

There's no place like home

After an emotional decision to attend my scheduled family vacation without my husband and 2 daughter's due to his illness. I was greeted by the most lovely Dominique. Her genuineness was unlike anything I have experienced in hospitality (I have been in this field 30 years) Dominique and Michel are truly a light of sunshine!

Fantastic location

We had a lovely holiday at Porto de mos. The apartment was fantastic and with a great view. It was nearly better than expected. We had high expectations and will not hesitating coming back. Maybe a little earlier to get better use off the outdoor pool. We enjoyed everything and had a wonderful time at the balcony and the wonderful view. The apartment is full equipped for making dinner at home if the guests prefer that. We appreciate that. We can really recommend this to other guests.

Superb apartment, amazing views!

We spent a very relaxing week in the apartment, the views from the lounge, master bedroom and the terrace are the best we’ve ever experienced. We loved the panoramic sea views and the view of the national park so spent much of our time sat out on the terrace taking in the view! Amazing sunsets and sunrises. The apartment interior is of a very high standard and well designed, ever need it met and the owners kindly provide towels for the pool, beach and even sun chairs and parasols. We were very well looked after by Yvonne who greeted us and was available if needed. The owners Dominique and Michel have been extremely helpful and made regular contact before, during and after our stay. We will definitely be back!

Stunning view

If you are looking for a lovely, quiet spot to soak in a perfect, unobstructed view of the water, this condo is for you. If you want to be in the center of nightlife and action, this will not be the right spot. It is a short drive into the lively town of Lagos, but located in a quieter, more remote area. There is a spectacular cliff walk that you can access just outside the gates of the condo, which is perfect for a jog or peaceful walk. The condo community is small, quiet, and geared to couples and families. This unit is spotless, well equipped, and the photos show an accurate picture of the view. The owners and manager were lovely and easy to work with. We had a great week!

Superb!

There is a real wow factor as you walk into this beautiful apartment. Everything is immaculate and of high quality. Kitchen well equipped with everything you need. Comfortable beds, the master bed even has a view of the ocean! Large spacious terrace with great views of the ocean and the beautifully kept gardens and pool. We have just spent five weeks there and it was a real home from home. Being winter you needed heat at night and this was available with just the push of a button and instantly warm. Michel and Dominique are very caring owners and although they were not in residence were always at the other end of the telephone and ever ready to answer your queries.

Easter Stay

Thanks so much to Michel & Dominique for letting us use their amazing apartment. The apartment was spotless on arrival and furnished to a really high standard. The floors and kitchen were so clean. Everything we needed was provided and the kitchen is so well stocked with plates, glasses and cutlery. What was really impressive was the additional items such as plastic containers, plastic bags, bin bags and ice blocks.... all the things we usually have to buy in other apartments! The apartment is located in a really quiet and peaceful location with the most amazing view overlooking the cliffs and sea. The excellent Porto de Mos beach is within walking distance and Lagos is just a couple of mins by car or around 4 euros in an Uber. We can't wait to return!

Fabulous Apartment in Porto do Mos

This is a beautiful, modern, comfortable two-bedroom with two bathrooms (one en suite). If you’re in the master bedroom you wake to gorgeous sea views and if you’re in the other one you’re only steps away. It has a very large living area with balcony that runs from the living area to the master bedroom. There is a table for four on the balcony where we had breakfast every morning. As well as a dining table inside also for four. The kitchen is very well appointed we had everything we needed and more. The neighborhood is quiet and easy to get to from Lagos, yet you’re away from the traffic and noise. If you’re looking for a beautiful place from which you can enjoy the Algarve you couldn’t ask for much more. Great for two couples or a family of four. Try it!

Amazing stay, lovely and quiet upscale 2BR-2bath apartment

Beautiful space, location & balcony views of the ocean and pool. My wife was in awe after her first step inside, and sent videos of the apartment & views to all her girlfriends back home. Huge, spacious, clean, great hot water & shower pressure, comfy beds, and very quiet soundproofing. Plentiful free parking. My 2 boys loved having their own beds & room, and loved the pool and grounds. With Intermarche 5 min drive away, we enjoyed self-catering most of our meals. Lovely Porto de Mos beach is a brief walk at bottom of the hill road, or a short drive to parking lot. But honestly we spent our days enjoying Lagos, Benagil, Sagres, Tavira and Saint Luzia/Barril Beach - and we loved returning to the apartment every evening. We'd happily stay here again if we're lucky to return to Lagos/Porto de Mos. We could easily spend a month, not just the 4 nights we did stay between our Lisbon and Evora/Estremoz stays. (And the bottle of welcome wine was a thoughtful touch!)

Dream Vacation Getaway

Dominique and Michel's beautiful home was our dream vacation getaway. Everything was just as wonderful as the pictures we saw, but being there in person was an experience we will never forget. The location is stunningly beautiful and there are spectacular views of the ocean and cliffs from almost every room. An amazing walking path for hiking and biking along the coastline is just outside the door and its a short walk to one of the most beautiful beaches on the Algarve. Their home is beautifully appointed both inside and out and we had absolutely everything we needed at hand, with Lagos just a short 5 minute drive away for groceries and anything we wanted to pick up. This was our first trip to the Algarve so we rented a car and took time to drive out to the eastern Algarve (out to Vila Real de San Antonio) as well as exploring further west (Sagres and St. Vincent). We were particularly in awe of the caves, cliffs and beaches of the western Algarve and found Lagos to be perfectly situated for further kayaking and hiking explorations! Without a doubt, we will be returning to the Algarve and can't think of a more wonderful place to stay than Dominique and Michel's. Thank you for helping make our dream vacation come true!

About the host

Hosted by Michel and Dominique JACOUD

Host profile image
We are a Belgian retired couple leaving a great part of the year in Portugal in the same Residence as the apartment for rent.

Why they chose this property

When looking for our own retirement place in 2014 we visited many apartments all around Algarve and in particular around Lagos and found in love with this brand new Residence for its unique setting, its unspoiled environment and the large & bright inside living space.
We managed later to acquire a second apartment which, after a 12 months rental ending June 30, is available for friends and guests in the same unique Residence.

What makes this property unique

The Residence and apartment also offer a wide range of outstanding benefits : beautiful architecture, large terrace with uninterrupted views on ocean and nature, a very large landscaped & tropical garden, an outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool, a jacuzzi, a sauna and a gym.
The Residence has also parking spaces in front of the door.
