Villa Pocilgo

Villa Pocilgo stands on the site of the original pigsties, next to the main house, Casa Velha, where owners reside. It features a very bright living room with open fireplace and two windows, two full size seating/sleeping divans, one small double bed-settee and a fitted kitchenette/diner, leading to a bathroom and to a large double bedroom. Outside there is a terrace featuring a pergola partly covered in grape producing vines, a built-in barbeque at one end and a dining table, large parasol and chairs at the other end. Ideal for romantic alfresco dining. It looks across a small Mediterranean garden to a lawn area, a lake (biological swimming-pool) and open land covered in almond and fig trees, with the ocean as a backdrop. The view from all rooms and terrace is panoramic and quite beautiful.

The property is a small farm located on a protected piece of land, between the Boavista Golf Resort, and the ocean. There are three houses on the grounds: Casa Velha, the original farmhouse, family home not for rental. Villa Pocilgo, a charming and cozy 1 bedroom cottage (max. 4 occupants) with open fireplace, next to Casa Velha, with its own terrace and BBQ and sharing the same amazing views across the biological swimming-pool and the gardens, through fig and almond trees and wild fennel, to the sea, . And Villa Celeiro, a very spacious 2 bedroom split-level villa (max. 6 occupants), with mezzanine, its own garden with lawn, rockery and pine and almond trees.
One can walk along the cliff path, after crossing the land, either left to Praia de Porto de Mós, or right towards Praia da Luz. The very large biological pool, shared by the 3 houses, looks like a natural lake and is a favourite with most children! It is also a great attraction for migrating birds etc...

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

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!

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 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!

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 true Gem our Lagos!
We spent an amazing week here with or 10 month old and it was all that we had hoped for and more. This beautiful, vast and unique property is private while being very close to Lagos and the surrounding areas. You can walk along the famous cliffs to beaches and restaurants right from your lodging but also feel remote and peacefully secluded. The host (Simon) is very friendly and helpful, available to you when you need him but he also gives you your privacy. He was happy to provide information about the area, checked in to make sure all was well with the villa, and was flexible and kind. The villa is clean and equipped with the basics, we were looking for a 'cottage getaway' after a busy week seeing the sites in Portugal so this was the perfect place to feel like you were 'unplugging' without actually needing to do so. Our only recommendation is bring a pair of slippers and warm layers if you are going in the winter months. The space heaters and fireplace so a great job but the tiles floor stays pretty cool! This would be a bonus in the summer, as the villa would stay quite cool even in the heat! We didn't originally plan to return to Portugal but after staying here, we could definitely see ourselves coming back again!

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!

Potentially brilliant
Great location but needs more general information about the property and better methods of communication with the kind and friendly caretaker. The house, lovely as it could be, we felt had not been properly serviced for some time....we could provide details if asked. Despite our criticism we would be happy to return!

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.

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.

Tranquil property away from it all
Very peaceful location for visitors wanting restful vacation accommodation. We enjoyed lazy meals on the patio overlooking the lovely garden, many opportunities to see hoopoes and azure-winged magpies, cliff-tops walks to the nearest beaches, swims in the pool, and visits from Bruno the dog. Easy access to a supermarket and straightforward access to the A22 and N125. The kitchen is basic but adequate for simple meals.

Excellent place for a quiet break but still close to amenities.
Although we were unlucky with the weather (we weren’t really expecting much dark cloud and rain in May) we had a really good holiday and that was largely thanks to Villa Pocilgo. Situated about a mile off made roads along a track (don’t go in a low slung sports car), it is in a wonderful quiet position with a large idyllic garden and a wonderful sea view. It was difficult to believe we were only a 10 minute drive away from the popular resort of Lagos. The property is equipped with all the essentials (including wifi) and the resident caretakers on site were very helpful. Sadly, because of the weather we only used the outdoor furniture on a couple of 2 days and the barbecue will have to wait for our second visit. We really appreciated the direct access to the coastal path and being able to walk one way along the cliffs to Mos or the other way to Luz. Both have lovely beaches and good restaurants. All in all this is a great place for a relaxing break, and we would love to return one day.

Wunderschönes einfaches Häuschen
Wunderschönes einfaches Häuschen in liebevoll angelegter Gartenlandschaft auf weitläufigen Grundstück mit direktem Zugang zur Steilküste. Wir haben uns in der etwas abgelegen Unterkunft sehr wohl gefühlt und haben insbesondere die sonnige Terasse und das gesamte Ambiente genossen. Die auf dem Grundstück lebenden Verwalter waren sehr hilfsbereit aber zurückgezogen.

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.

Séjour parfait dans la petite maison de Simon qui nous a fait un super accueil et était très réactif. Nous avons adoré le cadre qui est juste magique... Nous avons apprécié la tranquillité de l'emplacement, tout en étant à 10min en voiture de Lagos pour faire le marché ou boire un verre. Etant sportifs nous beaucoup apprécié l'immédiate proximité du chemin de côte pour courir et par lequel nous pouvions rejoindre les plages voisines.

Wir haben den Aufenthalt dort sehr genossen. Die Ferienwohnung nicht hypermodern, aber sehr gut ausgestattet. Die Lage ist ruhig, über den Klippen mit Blick auf`s Meer. Garten und Schwimmteich sind sehr schön angelegt. Hotspots der Algarve, aber auch traumhafte, menschenleere Stände sind nicht weit entfernt. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und unkompliziert. An die holprige Zufahrt über Schotterstraßen gewöhnt man sich schnell.
