Beautiful villa just outside of Lagos
We had the most incredible stay at this villa, it was nicely located just outside of Lagos so it was super easy to get into town and be able to explore, but also nicely secluded so we could unwind and enjoy the beautiful pool, and scenic views. The host was wonderful and helped us with any questions/issues we had, highly recommend you stay here!

Unbelievable property and location, hope to return!
The villa was absolutely wonderful. The rooms, and the grounds are gorgeous, and the pool fantastic. It's a quiet area, so you hear bird song as you lounge by the pool, but there's a little shop and a restaurant (which is amazing!) within ten mins walk, and it's half an hour walk to the edge of Lagos where there's a Lidl, and then loads of restaurants and bars and everything you'd expect. The weather in the second half of May was perfect - MUCH hotter than BBC weather indicated (more like 30c than the 19 we thought we might encounter)! The cleaners came only as often as we wanted them to, but I think they'd have come by every day if we'd asked! Someone stopped by a couple of times a week to clean the pool, and tend the garden. I would very strongly recommend you ask the host for the address if the villa, as the directions provided are.. a little challenging, shall we say (he said that GPS isn't very good at finding the location, but Google Maps does a fine job from plotting a route from Faro airport to the villa address, if you have it). While we there, the aircon in the double room didn't work (it blew air, but it wasn't chilled), which was OK for my partner and I as we had the place to ourselves! I'm sure that the host will sort it out, and likely would have done so while we were there if we hadn't said that we were fine using the twin room (where the aircon was delightfully cool)! We took so many photos of the place during our stay, because it was just so beautiful!

Beautiful, private, tropical retreat!
Gorgeous gardens, nice pool, comfortable cozy house with all amenities.
Only suggestion is for the owners to talk to the neighbors about their barking dogs. No one likes to listen to dogs barking all day and all night!

Wonderful holiday
The outside space of this villa is beautiful, causing us to change our plans for eating out every day to staying in and using the BBQ area and outside seating, of course we did go out and I would advice people to download the Uber app beforehand as the service is amazing and very cheap.
The villa was lovely much better than the photos show, very cosy although I have to say we didn’t stay indoors very much but made the most of the beautiful pool area, the BBQ area and the lovely comfortable seating area.
Eduardo the owner was so helpful with any queries we had, on our fourth day we asked for an extra clothes airer so we could do some washing and it was delivered almost immediately, really great service. I would recommend this villa, and do intend to go back again one day

A relaxing haven
We had a very easy rental process. One payment in July, then final payment when we arrived. Good communication with the owner who was very helpful when we were side swiped in a hit and run accident and needed to replace our rental. Rules of.the house were clear and everything was in good order. The garden was magical. Gardeners were unobtrusive and respected our privacy. Highly recommend this property.

Great place for a relaxing holiday
This was our second stay at Casa Paula and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Located only a few minutes' drive outside of Lagos, it's a beautiful secluded place with a lovely garden, a great pool, an outdoor kitchen and nice shaded seating areas. Given the climate we spent most of our time outside, but the house itself was also clean and comfortable. It's a great base to explore the lovely things this area of Portugal has to offer.

Our beautiful Villa
Casa Paula 1 was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Our private pool, private BBQ & lush grounds made our stay perfect. We had fresh fish every night sat together around the BBQ area.. it was really a quality family holiday. The villa itself was also beautiful with everything we needed and more. Sandra checked on us every day which was so lovely of her. I can honestly say this has to be my favourite holiday I have ever been on. Thank you Paula for one fantastic holiday.. we will be defiantly be back!!

Beautiful, well appointed villa for a relaxing holiday, only a short drive to Lagos town.
Beautiful, well maintained and clean villa situated in a peaceful location only a five minute drive from Lagos town. Full amenities to cater more than sufficiently for a great stay. Regular housekeeping without being intrusive. Highly recommended.

More than we expected
We received a warm welcome at No.1 Casa Paula Villa and we were very well looked after by Sandra who came in and cleaned several times, which we had not expected. More than the basic supplies were provided including coal for the barbeque
We had beautiful October weather but the pool was too cold to swim in although this did not matter because the sea was lovely for swimming and we enjoyed Algarve's many wonderful beaches.
On day one we had an issue with the hot water and the wifi both of which were promptly and efficiently dealt with. Staff appeared on our doorstep within minutes of putting down the phone and you can't ask more than that.

Quiet and relaxing getaway
The property is in a quiet area just outside of town and was extremely relaxing. The villa is cosy rather than modern, but the pool and outside areas are fantastic. Eduardo and his wife were very helpful.
We'd definitely recommend this place for a relaxing break near a beautiful town.

Fijne vakantie in een fijn huis
We hadden een fijn verblijf. Een tip voor de schoonmakers: er zaten veel spinnenwebben langs plafond in de slaapkamer.
Verder hadden we last van de honden die de hele nacht en dag blaften. Hier kan de eigenaar overigens niets aan doen.
Het huis was superfijn!

Haus mit schönem Garten und Grillbereich
Wir (2 Erw./1 Teenager) haben ein paar Tage im Casa Paula verbracht. Die Gartenanlage mit dem Grillplatz ist wirklich toll und der Pool schön gross. Den Aussenbereich haben wir nach Ausflügen sehr genossen.
Das Haus ist grosszügig und die Betten gross und bequem. Klimaanlage in jedem Raum. Das Reinigungspersonal kam zwischendurch und war sehr freundlich. Kommunikation und Check-In war unkompliziert.
Innen wirkt das Haus eher dunkel und leider riecht es aus allen Schubladen muffig. Hier wäre eine Renovation vielleicht nicht schlecht.
Die Umgebung an sich war jetzt nicht super, aber 5' mit dem Auto von Lagos.
Leider müssen auch wir das Hundegebell erwähnen. Schade, der Vermieter kann natürlich nicht viel dagegen tun, aber es ist halt so, dass die Hunde jeden Abend bellen.

Erstbesuch in Lagos
Das Haus und Grundstück war groß genug.
Der Service war sehr gut und unauffällig bzw. unaufdringlich jedoch jederzeit ansprechbar.
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit und kommen auch gerne wieder.
