Porta Da Villa is a truly wonderful experience! Apartments are spacious and receptionist, Isabel is a lovely lady and very helpful.(Only negative is no pool snack bar) great location, Lagos is a lovely resort with lots of atmosphere, small cobbled street, lots of restaurants & bars, lovely beaches! This holiday certainly ticked all my boxes, can't wait to go again!

We revisited Porta Da Vila this October for a 9 night stay and can see how much it has improved since our last visit 18 months ago. Cleanliness is now far better with a cleaner who called 6 days a week and the towels and linen were also changed regularly this time. We had one of the Garden rooms (107)... More

We had no problem finding it although the sign outside is poor. We had a lovely room on second floor with pool and sea view. The rooms are well equipt but need a little more care with the cleaning (a few dusty corners and cobwebs). The apartments are not serviced with 24 hour reception and this became a problem one...

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a lovely 1 bed appartment that over looked the pool, it was in a great location and easy access to the hidden beech and a short walk to the town. It was so peaceful and relaxing and had suck good views Nice little kitchen, only missing an oven really.. The owner was... More

The apartments can be difficult to find as no name on door and one could walk by as the building looks more like an old portuguse villa rather than holiday apartments. No good for children, to quiet and not alot of room around the pool area for children to play, ideal for couples of all ages, we loved the peace... More

If I had to comment on one negative aspect of this hotel it was difficult to find. However, once we were at the hotel, everything was wonderful. We had a 2 floor room, which overlooked the pool. The wireless internet didn't work very well in the room, but did in the common area below the front desk. Our room was... More

We travelled with Thomson in mid Sept 2010 for 2 weeks. The coach transfer from Faro is about 2 hours (but Thomson do advise of this on the web site, so we were expecting it). We passed through a number of concrete jungle/ hi-rise resorts on the way and were beginning to think we'd made a mistake booking the Algarve... More

Me and my boyfriend booked a 1 bed apartment for the first week in october '10. I have been to Lagos once before and my boyfriend and I both loved the night life. We would recomend going to Casa do Pintor (french restaurant) which is just 20 second around the corner. The bars are good value, play great music (lots... More

Having read mixed reviews about this place ranging from good to terrible! we arrived with trepidation to be met by the lovely Isobel (waiting near the fire station) she took us into the apartments and what a surprise! ours was overlooking the pool area, very spacious for two of us, and then we were left to explore.It is certainly not...
