We had an absolutely fantastic week at this property, which has everything we've come to expect from Encosta Do Lago. Immaculate property kitted out with everything we needed and a lovely garden space (we utilised the BBQ that is provided), close to the pool, beach front and a range of beach bars and Quinta restaurants. The Owner was extremely responsive and helpful whenever I had any questions. Would very happily stay again.

Excellent apartment.
This is a lovely spacious apartment well appointed with good sized rooms in an exclusive area. All the equipment seemed in good order and the beds were comfortable. Large tvs in the lounge and main bedroom with U.K. tv channels and sky sports. A very fast WiFi is also there. The property is a very short walk to a large pool with children’s area with restaurant and bar. The property is close to the Quinta lake where there is a man made beach and various activities as well as more restaurants. The sea and sandy beaches are a good walk away. In my opinion a car is essential to get around. The nearest supermarket is Pingo Doce at Quinta shopping about 2 miles away. Larger supermarkets are at Almancil. There are excellent sandy beaches a short drive away. Overall we were very pleased with the apartment and would return.

A beautiful apartment
We have just returned from a 6 night stay in this lovely apartment. It was spacious, clean and well equipped. Lovely beach towels and a hair dryer were amongst many of the much appreciated items left for our use. We had a great time and very much enjoyed the use of the pool, which was a short walk away and huge! The complex was quiet and smart. A car is needed really but we made do with using Uber’s on this occasion. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely book again. Thank you for letting us enjoy your apartment.

Perfect place to relax and recharge
My wife and I were in the Amancil area for our friend’s daughter’s wedding so decided to make a holiday of this invite. Our friends joined us for our second week once their entourage had returned home. Firstly, James was a wonderful host, he must’ve been sick and tired of me contacting him before our visit but responded - cheerily I think - almost immediately to each my queries, even from his trip to Mexico! The apartment is in a wonderful area, very peaceful and within striking distance of everything we needed - a rental car is essential. The amenities available were excellent- tennis courts/gym/pool/pool bar and restaurant- we gave the tennis courts and gym a miss! The apartment had everything you would need for a self catering holiday. We would definitely return to this apartment and the area in general. The only downside was that the property management company promised that they would make two visits for cleaning - only one was provided - a couple of towel changes would have been very welcome This did not detract from what was a memorable trip to The Algarve Barry & Doreen McGowan- St Andrews

First trip to Quinta do Lago
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the villa. Exactly as advertised, extremely well equipped and a lovely garden to catch the morning and afternoon sun. The pool was loved by all and only a 2 minute walk (as advised by previous reviewers). No issue at all with Sun loungers, even if arriving mid afternoon. The beach at Quinta is stunning and also fun watching the planes take off from Faro. We loved eating out and Limoni, The Bold Octopus and Tony’s at Quinta shopping were favourites. Already looking forward to returning.

Our third visit to this well appointed and comfortable apartment in the Encosta do Lago resort. The service provided by the property manager was absolutely first class and the maid service was excellent and unobtrusive.

The perfect home for a relaxing getaway - exactly as described
James was extremely helpful throughout the booming process and that continued while we were in the apartment too. He was quick to respond, and his advice (including hire car and restaurant recommendations) was always great. The apartment was spotless when we arrived, and was genuinely like a home from home. The washing machine and dishwasher were easy to use, and the large built-in fridge and separate freezer were spacious and reliable. The hot water for the showers was also copious. The air conditioners were a godsend in the heat that we had while were there (35C) and the outdoor dining table and gas BBQ were clean and easy to use. The location of the apartment couldn't be better - it was no more than 300m from the pool, but far enough away that there was no noise for a quiet lunch or dinner. The pool itself was icy cold at the start, but was great fun. We didn't eat at the on-site restaurant but did have sandwiches and drinks from the pool bar and the quality was good. We used the gym a few times, which - while small - was well stocked, and we played tennis a few times on the courts, borrowing racquets and balls from the lovely ladies in reception, who couldn't have been more helpful. All in all, the trip was exactly what we expected, and as a result was idyllically stress-free. James made the whole process easy from start to finish and we would definitely go back if he'd have us.
