Beautiful place for relaxing getaway

We loved it as soon as we arrived, and will definitely return. The place had everyone we needed, the natural pool and gardens were beautiful - perfect to wind down after a morning at the beach (20 min walk along the fisherman cliff walk overlooking the sea). Friendly hosts, and friendly dogs too!

A wonderful quiet tranquile villa with stunning views of farmland and the sea.

One of the best holiday villas we have stayed at. Ideal for a couple who want a complete rest. Easy access to the coastal cliff path with views and walks to the west and east.. The garden and the veranda points south so wonderful for outdoor eating.

The views and gardens of Villa Pocilgo are wonderful, we had a great time there! The villa is equipped with everything you need and the sight of the ocean behind the lush green fields and trees is breathtaking. Our host, Ana Maria, was very kind and made us feel welcome at her home. We would love to visit again in the future!

Perfect to get away

The house is ideal for a couple, or with younger children. It is a fantastic hide away and very quiet. Beautiful landscape with an abundance of wild life. The hosts are readily available, and always make sure you are comfortable. Location to west algarve and Lagos is excellent. Great walks, great beaches and lovely garden to relax in. Bit cold for the pool in Jan/Feb, but that's not why we booked this wonderful property!

Beautiful!

We had a wonderful month stay. The outdoor area is like your own oasis with the pond, beautiful trees, and a view of the ocean. Simon & Jane could not have been more helpful! Simon even drove us to a car rental pickup when we had car issues. Hopefully we’ll make it back again!

Perfect Unwind

We have stayed several times in Lagos but this was the perfect place for us. The property is just outside Lagos but beaches town and supermarkets are all about aten minute drive away. The setting is very peaceful and quiet so ideal for relaxing outside and looking out at the wonderful views. If you are feeling active you can quickly access the coastal path and walk to the beach. Simon and Ana Maria are wonderful hosts and ensure you have all you need. We look forward to our next stay there Annette and Gerry

Winter break

The house is perfect for a couple, wouldn’t have changed anything. The garden is beautiful and leads to the cliff tops with lovely walks east and west. With orchids and birds in the garden it was perfect for the naturalist in me to enjoy. Simon was helpful and friendly. Just a really lovey time for us both.

A place like the small Gallic village of Asterix and Obelix

Approaching the property through streets lined with golf estate villas and manicured front gardens, you finally arrive at this former farmhouse with a beautiful garden in perfect tranquillity. The two rental units are appropriately furnished in country house style and the living space extends perfectly onto the terrace, with plenty of space and a well-maintained outdoor barbecue. On top of that, the hosts are very nice. For us, this place made up for some of the annoying feelings about the hustle and bustle of Lagos.

Idyllic, quiet clifftop villa

We spent a week here in May - mostly used the villa as a base for taking day trips throughout the Algarve. Really we wished we'd had more time to spend just lounging by the pond and among the flowers. The villa is just a 7 minute walk away from a clifftop trail, making for excellent morning walks or runs. The house is a well preserved traditional farmhouse. We found the hot water to be a bit unreliable, but really enjoyed our time there. Very helpful, friendly owners! Would definitely come back or recommend to friends.

It was so helpful to learn from these guests about the hot water difficulties - the problem with the boiler was solved before the next guests checked in! And we are delighted to hear they enjoyed their stay at Vila Pocilgo. Looking forward to welcoming them and other guests looking for a romantic hideaway in a beautiful natural setting, at Quinta da Falésia when they next choose the Algarve for their holidays.

In one word: Magical!

We had such a great time at Ana Maria's house. It so beautiful located on top of the cliffs surrounded by nature... and instead of a pool there is a gorgeous and clear lake! The house is rustic and has a lot of character, it's clean and cosy. The views from the house of the garden, the lake and the sea are beyond magical! 🤩 We loved the daily visits of dog Blackie and Maumau the cat... ❤️ Ana Maria and her son Simon are lovely and we felt really welcome to be there. The house is located in a quiet and natural area but only 10 minutes away from the nearest town Lagos, with Supermarkets, Bars, Restaurants and Shops. We would definitely recommend to stay here and we would love to thank Ana Maria and Simon for their hospitality 🌸

A Magical Paradise at the age of the cliffs of Atlantic

After long travel from Barcelona we arrived in the dark night, so we couldn't see of the surrounding (but, could feel it) the little house already warmed our heart. And then... We woke up and seen the natural magic of the land. The view, sound and the feeling!!! Priceless The owners are very helpful and always ready for your needs. Although we got sick after the 2nd day, we couldn't imagine better place to pass this period of time. We are very glad to get a little part of this magical, Magical paradise. Thx to Jane, Simon and Ana for sharing their authentic Portugal Quinta with us. Well Recommended to disconnect from the robotic lifestyle. We definitely will be back!

Amazing

We have stayed at Vila Pocilgo for 7 nights. Having two small boys (4yrs and 10 months) we always have to choose our vacations house very carefully. The time spent there was just perfect. It is very close to Lagos centre and also from the beach taking only 5 minutes to reach both. The house owner is extremely friendly and always ready to give all those pointers on what to see getting away from those tourists traps restaurants and tours. Do not expect a five star hotel because the property is all about running away from those stereotypes. It’s quite comfortable, well equipped also with air-condition and satellite TV also. They have a lake instead of a pool perfectly blended in the landscape. The kids just loved it. Will definitely be coming back next year. Recommended for all travellers with or without family.

We are always delighted to receive comments and suggestions from our guests. Quinta da Falésia tries to convey a special atmosphere that suits people looking for a secluded natural environment and both children and adults appreciate the facilities and beauty of the grounds and the views. We look forward to welcoming back this guest and his family! A.M. Lory

The perfect place for us

We prefer to stay in a quiet place, preferably near to but not in a town. This property is ideal, it sits in a beautiful acreage with a footpath which leads up to the epic coastal cliff top walks. You can easily walk into Lagos on this path and in the opposite direction to Luz. The house itself is rustic and relaxed with a wood fire that made the living room feel very cozy. Iryna who manages the larger properties could not have been more friendly or helpful. She was a fund of advice and recommendations. The house is proximit to some good restaurants which are nearby and handy, plus several supermarkets are equally close. We loved it and are already talking about visit again. February on the Algarve weatherwise is a vast improvement over the UK, and Vila Pocilgo is a fabulous place to enjoy that, with stunning views from the patio. Thank you Ana Maria and Iryna.
