About this property

Luxury 2 Bed /2 Bath Apartment, large Veranda, POOL, A/C, Wi-Fi, 5 mins to Beach

High Quality furnished apartment close to beach & village. **Now with WiFi, hi-speed fibre internet in the apartment!**

The apartment is situated within the 4 star DomusIberica complex, set in beautifully landscaped gardens overlooking the sea, and has a swimming pool, kids splash pool & play area.
It is just 3 minutes stroll to the delightful fishing village of Burgau and another 2 mins along cobbled streets to the beach. Burgau boasts a superb selection of restaurants, cafes and bars; the BLUE FLAG beach is very pleasant with clean white sand.

The large 28 sqm elevated veranda features a built-in BBQ, designer outdoor furniture, and enjoys stunning views over the rooftops of Burgau to the Monchique Mountains. There are 2 bedrooms, one double, one twin. The double has an En-suite bathroom with bath & shower, there is a second bathroom with a large shower. Every room leads onto the sunny balcony. The air-conditioned apartment is extremely well equipped with high quality fittings throughout.
The lounge features the latest 50” Smart LED TV with most UK TV channels + Netflix, Prime, Disney+, YouTube (own accounts needed to access) DVD, CD / Radio.
We offer a high speed fibre broadband connection enabling Wi-Fi within the apartment, which is included in the rental price.

Dark oak furniture and local canvas wall art adds to the quality ambiance of the apartment. The kitchen is well equipped and well stocked with utensils, glasses etc for dining in.

* Our property managers have completed a special government course on additional cleaning requirements to ensure safety for guests, and have been awarded the Turismo De Portugal “Clean and Safe” seal.

The complex is situated on the edge of the village overlooking the beach and adjacent to the National park. A truly peaceful and beautiful location.

Burgau, often described as the Little Paradise in the Algarve, is located 10 minutes drive west of Lagos. It sits on the edge of a National park and is still a working fishing village. The Blue Flag beach itself is beautifully clean with golden sands and children can play safely under a watchful eye. There is a lovely restaurant on the beach where you sit and overlook the beach and watch the waves roll in.
A wonderful area for walks, you can trek up on the big hill that is the backdrop of Burgau or along the coast to the neighbouring villages of Salema and Luz. Burgau offers a good selection of bars/cafes and excellent restaurants (15 at the last count!) as well as a variety of activities such as surfing and fishing. Also in the village there is a newsagent, breadshop and 2 supermarkets.
The historic town of Lagos is a short drive away, with quaint cobbled streets, delicious waterside restaurant and a stunning marina. Lagos is a fantastic town that can certainly be enjoyed by all age groups, with a good nightlife.

Burgau is easy to reach from Faro airport, taking just under a hour on the new A22 motorway. Car hire is very reasonable and enables exploration of the area. For a really relaxing holiday arrive by Transfer Taxi or the more economical Transfer buses. We can help with recommendations for transfer services, as well as car hire.
The village is self contained with shops and restaurants, there is also a farmers market several mornings with fresh fruit, vegtables and fish. The bus service is good and taxis are reasonably priced. Historic Lagos is only a short journey away, for a fabulous day or night out.

Surrounding area: Monchique is a breathtaking rural town, nestled between the hills of Foia and Picota, 20 minutes inland from Portimao on Portugal’s Algarve Coast. A green oasis of lush gardens, flowers and butterflies the old craggy rural town sits amongst steep cobbled streets in the Serra De Monchique mountain range, commanding a majestic view of the Western Algarve below. Caldas de Monchique is a charming centuries-old spa town. A wonderfully peaceful and tranquil setting to enjoy walks and picnics.
Slide and Splash at Lagoa is the nearest water park for somewhere to cool off on those hot summer days and Zoomarine at Guia (near Albufeira) although a little further away, (about a forty minute drive) is another great family day out - take your swimsuits as there are pools as well. Going west towards Sagres, there are the fabulous beaches of the Western Atlantic coast, Castelejo, Cordoama, Amado and Carrapateira to name a few. This is an area of outstanding natural beauty, miles of relatively empty beaches, pine forests and spectacular cliffs. A magnet for surfing enthusiast, a great buzz with top surfers to watch, and amazing camper vans everywhere.

***WALKING IN THE ALGARVE Discover Algarve's secret corners***
In the Algarve there is a large protected coastline which stretches all the way from Sines to Sagres and then eastwards to Burgau. - it is the Cape St Vincent Natural Park. It became a protected area in order to preserve its unique natural beauty and fabulous flora and fauna. This coastline offers a unique walking opportunity, with a varying geology giving different coastal scenery, seascapes and wild life. This is the Algarve as it used to be before any commercial development.
The well-used coastal paths can be accessed directly from the apartment, with good routes both ways from Burgau. Going to the left you can get to Luz, then Porto de Mos, Ponta da Piede (lighthouse) and finally to Lagos.
To the right, you join the footpath to Salema. You are now entering the national park and the route offers stunning views and is a wonderful walk. This is totally unspoilt coastline and the walk is wonderful any time of the year, but especially so in spring when it is awash with wild flowers. You will discover hidden beaches and have time to take a swim.
Mild, sunny winters make walking ideal late September to early June. July and August are generally too hot.
Experience spring time in the land of orange trees, almond blossom & orchids. Bathed in southern sunshine-away from the crowds in this beautiful unspoilt corner of the Algarve. Superb for coastal & mountain walking.

All good
Very good house, full equipped and very close to the beach (5 to 10 min). If you like fresh fish, every day a van stop (around 8am) close to the house (2min) with the best fresh fish. Good balcony to have a meal with the family and to have a barbecue. The beds are very good and the cleaning is perfect. Just a suggestion - would be nice to have a coffee machine.

Wonderful Home
It was great to have Paul and Ruth’s beautiful home as a base. It is perfectly situated to explore the south from. From Sagres to Granada, from Luz to Aljezur we thoroughly explored it all. No swimming, or lying by the pool (due to unseasonable weather), but one can’t have everything. Ana and her assistants were terrific. We couldn’t have asked for more from them - and Paul. The kitchen was well equipped for our month long stay and the bedding and linens were lovely. The village of Burgau is quaint. We were a little early for many of the restaurants opening. They were just getting into the season but we did enjoy two good meals - one at the pizzeria and the other at Bombardo. Also, try the pasteis from the market. The second best we had in Portugal - after Pasteis de Belem in Lisbon. We definitely recommend Paul and Ruth’s and should we find ourselves returning to the Algarve will book it again.

In one word.....WONDERFUL!
We look back on the fond memories of our six "wonderful" weeks spent at this amazing apartment in Burgau! This home is absolutely lovely. Paul "the owner"has displayed his artwork thoughout the unit. Such a brilliant idea.....and such a brilliant man! This is truly a home away from home and more. Burgau is a very special place. When we started our stay we thought it was quite small, but after a couple of days we knew our best restaurants, where we liked to shop for our groceries, our magazines and the people in Burgau are so, so friendly. During our stay we discovered many great restaurants, but our most memorable dinners where on our terrace overlooking Burgau, with a good bottle of wine. Again Ruth and Paul, there are no words to thank you for sharing your beautiful home. Yes, it is a long journey from Canada, but you made it all worth while, and we will be back...that's a promise. Last but not least, a special thanks to a special lady....Ana, she is a gem! Bernice, Andre & Roxanne.

Perfect Apartment in Burgau
Best apartment we have stayed in, in Burgau - most definitely a home from home. Great attention to detail and nothing was missed. We will definitely recommend to friends and family and already planning another break in the spring. Nice to see that although Burgau has grown in the 12 years we have been going, the village still retains that special atmosphere. Wonderful places to eat - Ancora was a great night for my husband's 50th. Also thanks to Paul, Ruth and Anna for their kinds wishes and the champagne in the apartment for the birthday boy!
