The view from all rooms and terrace is panoramic and quite beautiful. The property is a small farm located on a protected piece of land, between the Boavista Golf Resort, and the ocean. There are three houses on the grounds: Casa Velha, the original farmhouse, family home not for rental. Villa Pocilgo, a charming and cozy 1 bedroom cottage (max. 4 occupants) with open fireplace, next to Casa Velha, with its own terrace and BBQ and sharing the same amazing views across the biological swimming-pool and the gardens, through fig and almond trees and wild fennel, to the sea, . And Villa Celeiro, a very spacious 2 bedroom split-level villa (max. 6 occupants), with mezzanine, its own garden with lawn, rockery and pine and almond trees. One can walk along the cliff path, after crossing the land, either left to Praia de Porto de Mós, or right towards Praia da Luz. The very large biological pool, shared by the 3 houses, looks like a natural lake and is a favourite with most children! It is also a great attraction for migrating birds etc...

The two rental units are appropriately furnished in country house style and the living space extends perfectly onto the terrace, with plenty of space and a well-maintained outdoor barbecue.

Sep 4, 2013 #### Idyllic, quiet clifftop villa We spent a week here in May - mostly used the villa as a base for taking day trips throughout the Algarve. Really we wished we'd had more time to spend just lounging by the pond and among the flowers. The villa is just a 7 minute walk away from a clifftop trail, making for excellent morning walks or runs. The house is a well preserved traditional farmhouse. We found the hot water to be a bit unreliable, but really enjoyed our time there. Very helpful, friendly owners! Would definitely come back or recommend to friends. ##### Sara C. Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Bartlomiej K. Sep 12, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place for a family vacation Although a little aged, villa turned out to be cosy and quite comfortable for a 2+2 family. The biggest problem we had was to set the right water temperature under the shower, because of some malfunction in gas water heater. The garden is lovely and spacious. We used biological pool every day. It’s not as good as classic pool, but children loved to swim in it. The farm is located beside the cliffs and there are some great paths for walking. All in all we spent a great time in Quinta Falesia. ##### Bartlomiej K. Stayed 11 nights in Aug 2021 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joao B. Sep 9, 2013 #### Amazing We have stayed at Vila Pocilgo for 7 nights. Having two small boys (4yrs and 10 months) we always have to choose our vacations house very carefully. The time spent there was just perfect. It is very close to Lagos centre and also from the beach taking only 5 minutes to reach both. The house owner is extremely friendly and always ready to give all those pointers on what to see getting away from those tourists traps restaurants and tours. Do not expect a five star hotel because the property is all about running away from those stereotypes. It’s quite comfortable, well equipped also with air-condition and satellite TV also. They have a lake instead of a pool perfectly blended in the landscape. The kids just loved it. Will definitely be coming back next year. Recommended for all travellers with or without family. ##### Joao B. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christa G. Mar 6, 2019 #### The perfect place for us We prefer to stay in a quiet place, preferably near to but not in a town. This property is ideal, it sits in a beautiful acreage with a footpath which leads up to the epic coastal cliff top walks. You can easily walk into Lagos on this path and in the opposite direction to Luz. The house itself is rustic and relaxed with a wood fire that made the living room feel very cozy. Iryna who manages the larger properties could not have been more friendly or helpful. She was a fund of advice and recommendations. The house is proximit to some good restaurants which are nearby and handy, plus several supermarkets are equally close. We loved it and are already talking about visit again. February on the Algarve weatherwise is a vast improvement over the UK, and Vila Pocilgo is a fabulous place to enjoy that, with stunning views from the patio. Thank you Ana Maria and Iryna. ##### Christa G. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leah I.

We spent an amazing week here with or 10 month old and it was all that we had hoped for and more. This beautiful, vast and unique property is private while being very close to Lagos and the surrounding areas. You can walk along the famous cliffs to beaches and restaurants right from your lodging but also feel remote and peacefully secluded. The host (Simon) is very friendly and helpful, available to you when you need him but he also gives you your privacy. He was happy to provide information about the area, checked in to make sure all was well with the villa, and was flexible and kind. The villa is clean and equipped with the basics, we were looking for a 'cottage getaway' after a busy week seeing the sites in Portugal so this was the perfect place to feel like you were 'unplugging' without actually needing to do so. Our only recommendation is bring a pair of slippers and warm layers if you are going in the winter months. The space heaters and fireplace so a great job but the tiles floor stays pretty cool! This would be a bonus in the summer, as the villa would stay quite cool even in the heat! We didn't originally plan to return to Portugal but after staying here, we could definitely see ourselves coming back again! ##### Leah I. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023 Archival ### 2/10 Terrible #### Janine B. Nov 15, 2012 #### Totally over-priced very shabby cottage This is the first time in all my years of travelling (20 years) I have left a property early due to poor condition of the interior. On arrival the bungalow does look very nice from the outside, gardens are lovely and well maintained and we were well greeted by the owner Ana, and shown everything inside. I noticed straight away the interior has an odour of dampness and old cigarette smoke, there were ashtrays for use dotted around and I was extremely annoyed as the property is not listed as being for smokers otherwise I would have never even considered it for a booking, as these types of property always remain with a fug in the air you cannot get rid of. The worst part was the bedding which stank of damp and previous inhabitant’s body odour, not very pleasant at all, in fact completely unacceptable. After our first night I asked Ana for a word, and explained that this was an awkward situation to bring up, but did she not realize the smell of the interior from age, smoke and the damp bedding with body odour. She was a bit surprised at first and said she had never had a complaint previously, but did admit yes the property was open to smokers, and admitted damp is a problem. She did bring round some other alternative bedding straight away, but this too all smelled of damp. I also pointed out although the bedroom is furnished with a large wooden wardrobe and chest of drawers for storage neither of these can actually be used as the smell from inside these pieces of furniture is also horrendous, your clothes would end up stinking after a few hours. We asked for a refund and went out straight away to find alternative accommodation, unfortunately we could only find something for two nights later, so had to spend another 2 nights. On arrival at our new accommodation I had to wash the clothes that had been in contact with the bedding and soft seating as they all carried the property smell with them, as did my hair from the pillows. We also noticed during these 2 further days everytime we used the hot water in either the kitchen or bathroom, which kicked in from a wall unit boiler in the kitchen, there was a distinct smell of gas, so I’m sure this unit is a bit faulty somewhere. If this property was subject to a thorough tourist board inspection I don’t think it would rate very highly at all. It is far from the “stunning farmhouse property” it is listed as. Its shabby, smelly and way over priced. Absolutely would not recommend this property. ##### Janine B.
