Vacation Home Lagos, Algarve Portugal

Whilst not a 'resort' in the true sense of the word The Funchal Ridge is well known as one of the most desirable residential areas between Lagos and Praia da Luz. Much of the Funchal Ridge is still undeveloped, flora and fauna abound and there are many lovely walks from the property. A very quiet and secluded area, only 3 kms to all the facilities of Luz and Lagos.
Quinta dos Caracois is perfect for couples or families. This is a great choice for anyone not wishing to be reliant on a car - there is a bus stop just 300m from Caracóis with regular, inexpensive, services to nearby Lagos and Praia da Luz. Both these resorts are great for children - Praia da Luz has a safe, sandy beach banked by reasonably prices restaurants and bars. During the summer months, there are dolphin watching trips from Lagos Marina - whilst the crew can't guarantee sightings, they don't give up easily; the catamarans keep in radio contact during the trips and the minute a dolphin is sighted the other catamarans take off at top speed in pursuit. Quinta dos Caracóis is also very close to the Boa Vista Golf Course and the friendly owners will happily book tee times and arrange taxi transfers. Due to its elevated position, Quinta dos Caracóis has views overlooking both the Bay of Lagos and Praia da Luz. It is built in traditional style, well equipped and furnished with its own terrace, open fireplace and electric heaters for early or late season holidays.
