If you’re looking for a real Portuguese experience, not a generic hotel room — you’ve come to the right place. Our home is simple and modest, located in a charming historic building, just a 3-minute walk from Praia da Batata, the old town, and dozens of local restaurants, cafes, and shops. Please note: this is not a luxury or newly renovated space. The rooms are basic but clean, with all the essentials for a short stay. The bathroom is shared. During summer, the street can be lively, and our family restaurant operates on the ground floor — perfect if you love local energy, but perhaps not ideal if you're seeking complete silence. This is a place for travelers who value location, authenticity, and affordability over fancy interiors. We welcome kind, easygoing guests who want to explore, enjoy, and rest their heads at night in a clean and honest space.
I am a visual artist passionate about Lagos, its hidden gems, and vibrant atmosphere, full of charm, history, and inspiration. Hosting guests is a pleasure—a chance to meet new people, share experiences, and discover different perspectives. My family has also been running Ala do Castelo for 19 years—a cozy restaurant where we serve traditional Portuguese cuisine, fresh seafood, fish, and perfectly grilled meats. If you're looking for a great local dining experience, we'd love to welcome you!
