Baluarte da Vila Apartments

We had a fantastic stay at this property! The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and as described. The location was perfect—a few minutes walk to all the shops, restaurants and bars that you could need, yet very peaceful and out of the noise for a relaxing getaway. The pool and rooftop terrace were the highlights of our stay. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Lagos

Great location, 5 mins walk from a great food spa. 5 mins walk to the centre of the shops and restaurants. Central Pandaria “bakery” just 5 mins away also which is a super value and great coffee / breakfast shop 3 doors down on the corner which smart contemporary and always busy.

Baluarte da Vila is located on the quiet side of the old town, which we really enjoyed. It’s away from all the noise and busyness, yet only a short walk away to everything and the beaches. It’s a 5-minute walk to a local grocery store/supermarket, Spar (which also contains a self-served laundromat) and a short walk to Dona Ana and Pinhao beach. Slightly less than a 25 minute’s walk from the train station for those who have to walk because they couldn’t find a taxi or an Uber. The room is slightly dated, yet surprisingly spacious. We stayed in one of the seaside view rooms. Everything was clean and the caretaker can be seen cleaning regularly. The room has a decent size kitchen with basic kitchen utensils. There is a pool with sufficient number of poolside lounge chairs. Pool towels could be rented for 1.5 euro for your stay. The water temperature was a bit too cold for us even in the summer heat, but the lounge chairs were comfortable and beaches were only a few steps away. The hidden gem and star of this place is the front desk staff, Jessica. Kind and warm, and often goes out of her way to assist other guests such as ourselves. There were a few occasions where she rushed to assist us when she heard us fumbled with our keys, even at a far distance which we appreciated. She also showed up shortcuts to places and made valuable restaurants recommendation (O Alcaide is a must stop for authentic Portuguese food and a 2 minute walk from Baluarte).
