Holiday Rentals in Lagoa - A Guide to Lagoa
Lagoa is another municipality on the southern coast of the Algarve which has made a huge effort to attract tourists and holiday rentals in Lagoa can compete with the best in the region in terms of location and quality.
To improve appeal, the beaches have been cleaned and access improved; there are a number of superb golf courses and the towns and villages have not been spoiled by over development.
Many families have found that a holiday rental in Lagoa has given them the perfect holiday.
The larger towns such as Lagoa itself have plenty of nightlife or, if you prefer something quieter, find a small local restaurant overlooking an old fishing harbour and soak up some atmosphere along with a lovely meal.

Types of Holiday Rentals in Lagoa
There are apartments to let in Lagoa but no tall blocks of them. Most apartment buildings are only 2 or, at the most, 3 stories high and there will generally be a shared pool. 2 bedrooms seems to be the most popular formula for this type of Lagoa holiday rental and the top floor apartments often have a roof terrace. Certainly you can expect a nice-sized balcony at the very least.
The most abundant type of holiday rental in Lagoa seems to be the luxury villa. These villas to rent in Lagoa are often in wonderful locations overlooking the sea or a bit inland for a more peaceful holiday. Most are luxury villas with pools, gardens, TV etc. etc. and generally will sleep six or eight people.
Most of the Lagoa holiday rentals that I have seen have been modern properties. There seems to be very little traditional older property to rent.
