There cannot be many villas in or around Lagos that combine all the following features. Ideally situated in the peaceful countryside for utter relaxation, you could literally hear a pin drop! However yet only 1 mile from the splendid old town of Lagos with its lovely squares, fountains and pedestrian streets full of restaurants,pavement cafes and bars.
Miradouro has a private heated swimming pool (10x 5m) which has sloping steps into the shallow end and recently retiled which is lovely for little ones. Pool heating is available at £100 per week. We also have a built in barbecue with adjacent eating area by the pool and a second outdoor eating area on the large first floor terrace with panoramic views over the bay of Lagos and to the Monchique hills.
There is also a large lawned area, ideal for ball games, so children have plenty of space for running around. The villa is very baby friendly we provide all the kit to lighten your load - cot/playpen, High chair, digital baby monitor, steriliser and bottle warmer, even a few toys as well for little ones.
All bedrooms have ceiling fans, just as effective as air conditioning in the hottest months and much more environmentally friendly.
We also now have WiFi however the WiFi in Portugal isn’t like the UK as fibre yet to reach the algarve so ok to check email, Facebook etc just not great for streaming..of music etc in high season.
Our villa has been inspected and awarded its tourist licence proC. No46/2010/336/o)reg46/2010/57320.

All health and safety requirements must be installed, some of which may seem a little silly such as the sign proclaiming that no lifeguard is on duty - profoundly disappointing those hoping for a bay watch babe - however it is most important that the licence be obtained as those without it can be shut down, guests or not!
