Fabulous Restored Townhouse in Lagos Old Town With Panoramic Roof Terrace.

The Casa Amendoeira is a newly renovated townhouse within the historic town walls of Lagos and only a few minutes walk to all amenities and beaches.

It is not the usual 'holiday' accommodation: the Casa has been lovingly restored, furnished and equipped to create a beautiful and comfortable 'home from home' for our guests. Warm colours, paintings by local artists, Moroccan furnishings and lamps greet the visitor on arrival. The two bedrooms (double and twin/double) are quiet, cosy and have very comfortable beds. The kitchen is well equipped with electronic devices and a good assortment of kitchen tools, upstairs is a bright and spacious open plan sitting room with dining area, with a comfortable wood-fired stove (for the winter months!) and from there outside steps lead from a balcony up to our beautiful 360° view roof terrace which is perfect for relaxing, sunning and just having a good time. Ideal for all year-round sunbathing as Lagos receives over 300 days of brilliant blue skies per year.

That said, the electric power of the Casa Amendoeira is mostly gained from a solar panel on the roof that can produce 1700KWh/per year. Further, the house is equipped with an A++ washing machine and an A+++ refrigerator and dryer. For keeping you warm in winter, we installed infrared heaters that are also powered by our solar panels.

If you want to stay 5-7 days, please send us an inquiry. In some cases, we also agree to these bookings.

By the way, if you are looking for a smaller house in the same area, please have a look at our Casinha Canal, the little sister of the Casa. You will find it using the property ID p8819471.

A side note on the Lagos Centro Histórico:
Please be aware that in the historic center of Lagos, where our holiday home is located, there has been an increase in construction and renovation activities in recent years. Consequently, there is a possibility that construction or renovation work may take place in the neighborhood, which as landlords, we cannot foresee or influence. If you highly value tranquility during your stay, we recommend considering this when choosing accommodation in the "centro histórico". We are always committed to ensuring a pleasant and relaxing stay for you and are happy to assist with any questions or concerns you may have.
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Dom Sebastiao Statue. A water park is available. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the vacation home.
  • The vacation home offers a kitchen, a washing machine, and a fireplace
  • Free WiFi
  • Splash around at the water park
  • Just a 3-minute walk from Dom Sebastiao Statue and 4 minutes by foot from Sao Sebastiao Church

Very accommodating hosts
About 1 week before we arrived, the hosts informed me that the unit next door had started off-season renovations, and we could cancel if we wanted. We decided to try it anyway. Unfortunately, the noise was too much, and we were forced to alter our plans. The hosts quickly arranged a refund of the unused nights. We appreciated the honest and professional way they handled this situation.

Wonderful little house in the old part of town. Close to public parking which was convenient for groceries and luggage. House was very cute and tidy, and had a well equipped kitchen. Front door is tricky at first and beds were hard, but overall we loved it.

First time in Lagos
Very happy with this property. Check-in was very easy and communication with our landlord was flawless from the very beginning. It is in an incredible location. We were able to walk to anything. If you have trouble with steps, this may not be the place for you, but if that is not the case, you will enjoy three incredible floors! Would definitely recommend this property.

Great location
From the beginning Uta and Marc were very helpful with information regarding the apartment, and working with us regarding check in. The apartment was in a perfect location to get to anywhere in Lagos within walking distance, and was very quiet in the evening. Everything we needed was in the apartment. Would stay here again if I returned to Lagos.

Perfect Lagos Location
The property was as described and was the perfect location for our 8 days in the Algarve. The there are plenty of beaches nearby and many restaurants to choose from. The kitchen has everything needed to prepare a meal at home, which we did, just for a change of pace. Loved the view from the upper deck and used this space to do my morning yoga as well as a cool location for an after dinner beverage. Communication with Marc was quick and efficient. There are stairs to maneuver daily, but it was not a problem for us. We also appreciated the washer/dryer. Interesting parking arrangement, which was new to us, but not uncommon in Portugal to park in a public lot a few blocks from home. We would highly recommend this accommodation.

Lagos hideaway
The house is absolutely charming and in the best location in the historic district. In the center of everything but also very quiet at night. The owners have thought of everything you could need to effectively use the kitchen for meal preparation. Be aware that as the listing states, there are several flights of stairs. The dining area and living room is one level up from the kitchen but we did not find this to be a problem. This is the cleanest rental we have had the pleasure to stay in and thoroughly enjoyed our 20 days in February.

Home away from home
We had an excellent holiday in Lagos which was hugely enhanced by the beautiful house we stayed in. It really was a home away from home. The location was perfect to reach everything on foot, and the house was very well equipped and clean. We loved every moment of our stay here. Thank you

Lovely Casa Amendoeira in Lagos City Center
Our trip to Lagos exceeded all our expectations. Uta and Marc have made Casa Amendoeira a home away from home. We were just minutes from everything in the city center, but if we decided to stay "at home," we were just steps from a magnificent view via our rooftop terrace. If we had any questions or concerns, Ana addressed each one as quickly as possible. We loved the easy access to the beaches and hiking the trails along the cliffs to the lighthouse. The wonderful park just outside the old city wall was also a favorite place to walk or relax in the sun and picnic. We are already in the planning stages for a return trip in 2020. I can hardly wait! --J&N

Comfortable, cosy, convenient and very characterful.
We loved this traditional house in the old town. Very spacious. Everything you could possibly want. Stairs were not a problem for us but bare them in mind. Loved the roof terrace with amazing views and made use of the bbq on quite a few evenings. A light on the roof would have been good as it gets dark early this time of year and it was a little difficult to see what we were cooking. Didn’t stop us using it though. Being right in the old town was a bonus as previously we have stayed on the outskirts and relied on buses and don’t run very late. We loved being able to walk to action. Having said that, the house is tucked far enough away so as not to be troubled by revellers. Comfy bed, good hairdryer (very important for us ladies), good citrus juicer and very well equipped kitchen. Good communication with the owners. A lot of very useful information about the house and it’s little quirks. Thank you Uta & Marc. We had a superb stay.

Great location close to the centre of historic Lagos and all local amenities.
This house proved to be the ideal location for our family to enjoy the historic town of Lagos and the surounding area. The house had all things needed by our family, but the star attraction was the roof terrace and the amazing views that could be seen from here. Lagos had a lovely range of activities for the family including kayaks, surfing, beaches and shopping. There is also a lovely range of restaurants in the local area for all tastes. Tho2s house and Lagos proved to a great location for our family holiday with two teenage children.

Home away from home deluxe edition
Thanx to Uta an Marc..the friendlies hosts you could wish! What a phantatastic place! We hat the best time we could have in Portugal. The Casa is so cosy and nice and well located, that we really felt like home, but better. I don´t know anything what could be better in a holiday home.... The view of the rooftop is so breathtaking... homemade breakfast there feels like in heaven. The days we were to lazy to make breakfast, we visited one of the hundreds of nice stylish bars in the neigbourhood who provide excellent healthy and cheap breakfast. Lagos is a city you have to love... all the nice bars, and for me als a hobbie barista, all the coffee bars (perfect espresso 65 euro cent!!) Pastel de nata for nothing.. The harbour, the shopping places, restaurants, it actually feels like heaven to be in this place. Beaches in 10 minutes food walk, quite surrounding around the casa, but 3 minutes to the center of everything. Like I said on top.. The location couldn´t be better... See you next time for sure to another holiday what feels like you visit a friends house.. We still dream of our nice 2 weeks in paradies. Please don´t change anything because it just could get worse. Best regards from western Germany from a really satisfied and happy Family. Thx for letting us stay in your amazing Casa. We recomment to everybody to book this place.. there is for sure nothing better in Lagos Dani (quiet young) , Pia (4) and Ralf (very old ;-) ) All the best to Uta and Marc & Family...

Wonderful Urban Gem
My husband and I recently returned from our stay in Lagos, Portugal. We can highly recommend Casa Amandoeira. The house has been beautifully renovated and lovingly decorated. The beds are of high quality and super comfortable. The kitchen is extremely well equipped for cooking complete meals. The house is very well located both within the city and within Portugal. It is part of the historic centre very close to many restaurants and an easy, pleasant walk to the waterfront, fish market and small supermarket. You can walk to beautiful beaches right in the city. With a car, there are easy drives to the West coast for wind blown Sagres vistas and more beautiful beaches. The owners, Uta and Marc, are very approachable and helpful with any questions. There is a local property manager, Ana, who is ready to help for any immediate needs that could arise. I will echo what some previous reviewers mentioned- there are a lot of stairs. The kitchen is located on the first level you walk up to from the street- with the bedrooms and the bathroom. The living room and dining room are on a separate floor, so you need to carry your dishes up and down a flight of stairs. We got used to this but if there are any mobility issues, it is something to consider. The rooftop terrace has spectacular views over the city centre and to the waterfront. It is truly a wonderful urban gem in a really fun city. Enjoy!

Great location in magical town
We stayed at Uta and Marc’s four-level apartment during the month of February. The location is fantastic; you can walk to everything (beaches, cliffs, shopping, bus and train stations). The weather was cooler and cloudier than usual so we didn’t get to enjoy the rooftop patio very much but the view is lovely. The kitchen is well-equipped especially with quality butcher knives. The owners provide a comprehensive guide to the unit and Lagos in general. There is a local property manager you can contact if you have issues or questions. A challenge (for some people) would be the stairs you need to climb. The eating/sitting area is one floor above the main floor, which is one floor above street level. The stairs to the rooftop bbq and table are quite steep and narrow. This was our first visit to the Algarve and we found Lagos to be an enchanting town filled with friendly people … both the locals and visitors.

Unique and charming apartment in an ideal location
We totally enjoyed our three week stay here. Every detail was exactly as promised online. The home is decorated fabulously and its location makes for excellent access to all things in downtown Lagos. We felt very comfortable here and the local caretaker was very helpful. Had some trouble with Wi-Fi connection the first couple days (it got knocked out with a bad rain/wind storm) but she sent good help right away and I was up and running in no time at all again. We were there at the end of the height of tourist season so crowds were diminishing with each passing week but we enjoyed that fact very much and were still fortunate to have sunny and warm weather for most of our days. I highly recommend this property and would love to return there again someday myself.

Excellent property. Ideally placed. Very well equipped.
We have just spent a fabulous week in Lagos staying in this lovely house. It is just minutes away from all amenities-bars, shops, restaurants, beaches, marina. Couldn't be better placed. It has all the equipment you could need and all information you might need. The roof terrace is a bonus. We used it quite a lot to get a bit of breeze. The temperatures were in the mid 30's for our stay, so it was very welcome. Travelled to Carvalhal beach (up the west coast). Well worth the drive out - beware the waves are very strong. Finally made it to the top of Monchique ( it was misty last visit). Stunning views. Go early and miss the coaches. Another worthwhile trip and not too far away. Batista beach is lovely and only minutes away. Our 3 favourite restaurants were Portofinos at the Marina, Casa do Prago turn right at the bottom of the street and Abrigo to the right from Green Tile Sq. All excellent food at very reasonable prices. But, so many to choose from. We have no hesitation in recommending this property. It is ideal. I would agree it's not suitable for young children or, perhaps the infirm or elderly (because of the house steps and the hill to the house-short but steep). Thank you Uta and Marc for the use of your house. We've had a wonderful time. Kim and Jean Moss and Kathleen Steadman

Perfect
We have really enjoyed our stay in your lovely house. It has been perfect for us, beautifully decorated, equipped with everything one needs ( even sewing things and first aid kit), centrally located ( only 2-3 minutes to the fish market and the bakers) but as quiet as if in the middle of the country. The roof terrace has be in one of the best positions in Lagos old town, it certainly has a fantastic view - across the town and out to sea - a great place for eating as well. The house and the environment were exactly as described on the net. Lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. We have enjoyed staying in Lagos which is real town not just a holiday town. We have had a super month away from the cold Northern European winter. Thanks Uta and Marc for the opportunity.
