Torrinha House

Emplacement proche de la vieille ville

Il faut savoir que c'est une cuisine partagée et dont l état depend des autres locataires. Il manque bouilloire service dans la chambre. Salle de bain sommaire. Cher pour ce qui est proposé hormis la situation géographique

Very basic, but has all you need.

When selecting the room it very specifically says on booking.com "sea view" as well as "terrace." This is not just in the main listing for the property, but the room itself. We were very disappointed when we showed up and there was no view and no terrace. The manager of the property brushed this off as if it were our fault, highlighting that there is a sea view and a terrace shared amongst all guests. We specifically booked a place with a view and terrace as I am 6 months pregnant and needing a lot of rest but still wanted to enjoy where we were. We arrived too late to change our accommodation so we stayed one night and left the next day. There was also no toilet paper.

The location was perfect - in a quiet spot but still very close to all the restaurants and bars Lagos has to offer. Walking to the beach is very doable, the closest one being a 15 minute walk. Also, the balcony in our room was incredible. Such amazing views over the city, it was nice to chill up there and read. Finally, Rita was amazing! She was so helpful and gave us a lot of advice on what to do around the city. :)

The central location as well as the roof terrace were incredible. Our host was so nice and helpful, we loved it!

The terrace is superb! We had a bottle of wine there every night because of the view and quietness. Great location to walk to town and not be bothered by noise. Just a 5 minute walk to the main square and streets to have a meal, and not a long walk to reach the nearest beach. Even the cliffs are at a walkable distance! Train station is a 15 min walk which is very convenient too. Great communication with the host before, during and after our stay! Thanks for having us!

The bedroom can get a bit hot but there were 2 powerful fans to stay fresh. There was an AC machine but did not know how to use it properly, so we stuck with the fans and was aright!

The property had everything we needed! A lovely bedroom with separate living area and bathroom, the kitchen upstairs had all the equipment needed and a lovely balcony with views from both sides of the property so you can watch the sunrise and sunset. Rita was a fantastic host, she was warm, welcoming and had great communication. You can tell she genuinely cares that her guests have a great experience. Thank you for having us, Rita! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay ☺️

Excellent property, great location, lots of space in the rooms within the individual units, incredible shared terrace and kitchen area.

Sometimes got rather hot however a strong fan was given which worked excellently, TV did not work for us.

Der Check-in hat sehr schnell und spontan funktioniert. Unser Host war sehr freundlich. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und man hat einen super Blick über die Stadt.

La vieille ville.

Manque la climatisation et un mini bar

We were staying in the room with a balcony. An opportunity to have a balcony was one of the main facilities for us. It's a wonderful place to get some rest in the evening. The view is nice. Also, there is a common terrace on the upper floor with a kitchen. We also spent time there with wine and meals. It was incredible at sunset. It's noticeable that there is a TV with a YouTube app, perfect for spare time in the apartment. It's important to say that Rita is a very attentive and professional manager. She helped us arrange a kayak trip and gave us a lot of useful information. Definitely, next time in Lagos we will prefer the same place.

Rita è una persona fantastica, appena arrivate in struttura di ha accolto e ci ha dato varie informazioni su escursioni e ristoranti. Inoltre, la vista dalla terrazza è qualcosa di indescrivibile, potrete fare colazione/pranzo/cena con vista sull’oceano.

Sehr sauber, gut gelegen und perfekt für ein paar Tage. Rits war wirklich sehr nett und hat uns auch während dem Aufenthalt bestens unterstützt.

Leider hat es keine Nachttischlampe ;-)

Superb location with a very large living space and loved the host who gave us suggestions on where to go

Room got quite hot at times, but we had 3 fans to use

Sehr bemühte „Hausmutter“ und gute Lage.

Das Klimagerät war eine Zumutung, zum Glück kühlte es abends gut ab und man konnte es durch die Rollläden auch ohne aushalten. Das Waschbecken war dreckig. Insgesamt in die Jahre gekommen. Zimmerservice hat scheinbar nur insofern stattgefunden als dass die Mülleimer geleert wurde und meine Pfandflaschen (nicht im Müll) verschwanden

La ubicación muy céntrica pero en zona tranquila, parking gratuito a muy poca distancia.

No hay aire acondicionado

Super fijne locatie dicht bij alles in het stadje. Fijne kamer, niet te warm en het dakterras was top om te zitten met een geweldig uitzicht! Ook de hulp met onder andere aanbevelingen en activiteiten was erg fijn.

Location, terrace and the apartment in general.

What we liked the least was that the Wi-Fi didn’t work in our bedroom. It worked well in other parts of the house, such as the kitchen, but unfortunately there was no signal in the room where we were staying, which was quite inconvenient. Another downside was that the apartment didn’t have a built-in air conditioner. Instead, there was a portable air conditioner, but to use it, the exhaust hose had to be placed out of the window. This meant we had to leave the window open all night, which also made it impossible to close the shutter. As a result, the room filled with daylight early in the morning. In the end, we had to choose between sleeping in the heat or sleeping with the window open and waking up to the morning light.

Friendly staff, nice and clean, great kitchen with view, excellent location

The TV didn’t work properly which I missed most of the World Cup matches

Our host Rita was amazing. She made sure to always be in contact and was quick with any questions we had.

Grandezza camera, pulizia.

Mancanza di aria condizionata,

Die Inhaberin ist sehr aufmerksam und ist auch darauf eingegangen, dass wir mit Kind gereist sind. Es wurden Tipps für Unternehmungen, als auch Restaurants etc. gegeben. Die zentrale Küche war für uns auch mit Kind sehr vom Vorteil. Ein paar mehr Haken zum Aufhängen von Sachen (z. B. hinter der Tür) wäre für uns von Vorteil gewesen. Ansonsten können wir die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen.

No kettle in the room, had to go up 5 stairs to make a drink. There should have been a welcome corner where you could at least make a drink.

no window in the bedroom and you couldnt get into bed without scratching yourself on the walls! Airless apartment. No windows in the bedroom. It was like a cave and a dark one at that! The lighting is just awful. Hard and too bright. No reading lights anywhere! Very poor design. The kitchen upstairs is no good for the bottom apartment

Logement en plein centre de Lagos tout en étant très calme. Terrasse agréable, parking gratuit à proximité avec beaucoup de places. Hôte sympathique.

Great location and Rita was a great host!😊

The location was very convenient. Close to the old town, but had more of a residential feel. Easy to access on foot, and close to the town’s bus station and car parking. The shared kitchen area and roof terrace were lovely. Rita was pleasant in her engagement with us.

The accommodation wasn’t as nice as photographed, and in general it lacked the facilities & touches that we expected such a highly rated place to have. The towels smelled musty, even when replaced with a fresh set, and there was visible damp in the corners of the sleeping area. We were provided with one spare toilet roll, and told to contact the host if we needed more, which is a strange thing to have to do. The shower curtain, towels and the sofa were heavily used, and in need of freshening up. The room was also little noisy at times, with fairly thin walls and doors.

Amazing location and absolutely beautiful and clean room. Very spacious. Rita was an excellent host and gave great recommendations. Would absolutely come back!

Staff went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time. Location central that work really well. Facilities exceeded expectations

N/A

We absolutely loved it. The house and the street were very quiet. Perfect distance from the old town and the beaches. The view of New Year fireworks from the terrace was amazing! Rita is the kindest host. She was so caring and helpful! The place was exceptionally clean, warm and lots of hot water.

I loved Torrinha House! Ana was a great host and answered my questions quickly. The kitchen upstairs is very nice, fully stocked, and has an excellent view. My room was thoughtfully designed and I was very happy here. It is an easy walk to the restaurants, bars, and shops of Old Town.

I have no complaints at all

Rita est une hôtesse charmante. Location idéale, à quelques minutes à pied (au sommet d'une butte) de l'animation, ce qui assure la tranquillité; et à huit minutes à pied de la gare routière (quinze de la gare ferroviaire). Appartement très spacieux. et bien éclairé.

The location was superb! Our room was very large. For sure, the biggest room we stayed in during our whole trip to Portugal and our private balcony was very big also with stunning views of the city and the Atlantic! Rita was very helpful giving us recommendations for restaurants. The upstairs kitchen is shared with the 5 other rooms and is a fully equipped kitchen. Off the kitchen are two good sized balconies with tables and chairs - one facing west to sit with a drink and watch sunset or the other one facing east to eat breakfast while the sun rises. By far our favourite place we stayed in the Algarve.

Super Lage, top angebunden aber ruhig.

Great location 10 min walk from bus terminal and 5 min walk from the center of old Lagos. Fantastic rooftop terrace with kitchen and 360 view of Lagos. Very friendly staff (Rita) who was very helpful while answering our questions.

The street is a bit noisy, particularly for the first floor residents. A lot of car and foot traffic. So booking the second or third floor apartments is recommended.

Sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit

Nichts

Die zentrale Lage und die Parkmöglichkeit in der Nähe

The staff go above and beyond to let you know all the best places in town and the best excursions. Any questions you have they have a great solutions for.

Tolle Lage,alles einfach zu erreichen, tolle Tipps

The accommodation was comfortable. It was a nice older building with nice features.The host Rita was amazing, she would always go out of her way to help you. She arranged our transfers to and from Faro.

We didn't know that to get to the property from whatever direction required ascending a hill. When you got to the property depending on what floor your where located you could have 40 stairs to negotiate . For health and safety no smoke alarms. Fire extinguishers in the building covered in dust, so you don't know if they are fit for purpose.

The building was old and lovely, we stayed on the second floor in our own flat with ensuite, living room and bedroom. There are about 6 rooms, with a communal kitchen/living space and terrace with a great view over Lagos. The house was peaceful and quiet, and the other guests were met were lovely. The facilities were good and the house was well-equipped. Our bed was very comfortable. Rita, the manager of the property, was lovely and helped us out with some great local recommendations.

Our bedroom didn’t have any external windows so it was quite dark, the fan we had in the bedroom to keep cool was effective but a little loud (if thats something that bothers you – we still slept well). The television did not work at all but that wasn’t too much of an issue for us.

Ein sehr schönes Appartement und Rita ist einfach großartig. Sie hat tolle Tipps und ist einfach sehr liebenswert.

Fabulous location, free carpark a couple minutes walk away. Access to shared kitchen, which was well-equipped and clean.

No air-conditioning or smart tv.

La posizione eccellente

Mancanza di aria condizionata e il cambio asciugamani solo su richiesta

Being able to hang out on the balcony at night and view the city was definitely the biggest perk.

There was no A/C and our TV did not work. Our room was very, very hot but luckily, there were a couple of fans and we were able to open the windows. It definitely did cool off in the evenings.

Sehr freundliche Vermieterin mit vielen Tipps. Super zentral und trotzdem ruhig gelegen. 10 min zum Busbahnhof und 15 min zum Zug (Brückensperrung berücksichtigen!). Zum Strand mit dem Taxiboot (1 €, letztes 18 Uhr) in 15 min ansonsten in 25 min. Apartment geräumig mit großem Bad und vielen Pflegeprodukten. Tisch zum Arbeiten verfügbar und eine große Couch. Große Gemeinschaftsküche gut ausgestattet mit 2 abgehenden Terrassen. Eine mit Aussicht auf's Meer. Wäscheständer vorhanden.

Assenza di condizionatore

It was huge with amazing lighting and an incredible view.

Rita was fantastic. She went out of her way the entire time to show us around her city. The house is beautiful and clean, the terrace on the roof is lovely to watch sunsets. The apartment was very clean. We will be back to stay again. The location was fantastic great walking distance to everything but also very quiet just outside the hustle and bustle. Highly recommend!

Honestly... Nothing. It would perhaps be nice to have a mini fridge in the rooms but that's obviously not that much of a negative ha

Rita is really a fine person and very helpful. Loads of information on restaurants and activities. The best is the roof kitchen en terrace.

the beds are to soft for our liking. walls are a bit thin.

The location was central to old town. The host, Rita was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The house was beautiful, the upstairs views were breathtaking.

Unable to get the room totally dark to be able to sleep in. Other than that Torrinha House was a dream!

Wonderful host - made me feel welcome. great terasse. Good facilities and location

The close proximity to restaurants, bakeries, Mercados and activities. Rita was a responsive and very helpful host with outstanding customer service skills.

The room was a bit cool at times.

Rita was super responsive. The shared kitchen was great 😊

No area rug in living room, no bed stand lights, or floor lamp in living room

Torrinha House is a beautiful example of a traditional Portuguese home. The apartment is cozy and comfortable, with a great location close to the old town and everything you might need. The rooftop terrace with a great view is the highlight of the accommodation. Rita is an excellent and professional host. We highly recommend this apartment if you travel to Lagos!

Heating in the apartment might be an issue if you visit during the winter months.

We liked the apartment with a terrace. Rita was very helpful!

The apartment was fine. However, all the small streets and one way streets were difficult (unrelated to the apartment). We loved the city, but glad we had GPS

This is a gem of a property! Shared rooftop deck is an amazing amenity, and Rita, the host is incredibly pleasant and helpful. Lagos is an incredible city, the coastline and boardwalks are beyond spectacular.

Rita is fantastic, so helpful and friendly. There were so many thoughtful extras in the apartment. We had seperate entrance ground floor and it was great.

Nothing that Rita could fix, but the noise of the other house guests coming back at night and the snoring were a negative. Soundproofing isn’t really a feature of the house.

The location is perfect, 4 mins walk to the heart of old town. We spent a lot of time having pre dinner drinks on the roof top patio, of which there are 2. Our apartment was a good size and very well stocked. The roof top has a full kitchen where you can put drinks etc in the fridge.

There isn’t any AC but we did have a large powerful fan in the room, we were fine as the temperature cooled down a little at night. We had the windows wide open as well as the area is very quiet.

The unit we rented was ground floor entrance. It was clean, spacious and had a fully equipped kitchen. We had access to the top floor patios with a breathtaking view. Great location - very close to shops and the waterfront. Rita was a charm and she provided us with lots of tips while visiting Lagos.

There is no air conditioning in the unit but there is a big fan to use in cooling the room somewhat. Having access to the top floor patios was a bonus with the cooling winds of Lagos.

Rita is an exceptionnal host ! The communication was really easy, and she made sure that we had everything we needed everyday. She made sure we enjoyed our stay in Lagos and helped us through activities also, we are very thankful ! The appartement itself is ideally located, and very comfortable. I highly recommend the place

Apartment was located in a good area, walkable to everything we wanted to do. Access to a terrace for nice sunrises and sunsets. Rita was hospitable, gave us recommendations and even helped us book a day tour.

Our host went out of her way to ensure that we had a lovely stay. The room was spacious and close to all we needed.

There needs to be a couple of lamps in the bedroom to improve the room.

The location was great - very close walking distance to the center of old town Lagos yet the area was quiet in the evenings, away from the louder parts of the old town. The view from the rooftop patio was great. Rita was a kind host who explained the area very thoroughly for us at check in.

Although the description of the place does state that each booking is assigned a separate "accommodation" in the entire apartment with "access to a terrace," it would have been so much clearer if the description stated that the house is a shared space with 6 units. Upon looking at the description under "Hosted by Nico," I see now that it states there are 6 apartments in the house (also, Rita was our host, not Nico), but I think most people take a look at the main description. We went in thinking that each unit was separated and private, but this was not the case. It felt like a dormitory. For some, this may not be a problem, but this was not our style, hoping for more privacy, and we ended up leaving 2 days early. Rita was kind enough to offer a refund on one of the days. The shared space became a bigger issue for us when a group of guests hung out in the shared kitchen space late into the night. Because we were in unit 4, right below the kitchen floor, we could hear the conversation and their noise woke us up at 1:30 in the morning. It would be most helpful to post a sign for quiet hours and reminded at check in to be courteous since walls are very thin and you can hear everything. Finally, the whole space was not "sparkling clean" like many other hosted stays I've been to. It was just ok and felt a bit dated. Kitchen was not very clean/not cleaned daily. Floors were a little dirty. We were given one set of towels that had a musty smell to it (was told it was the laundry service's fault), but Rita quickly remedied by bringing a new clean set the next day. Also, I noticed black mold spots and pink stains (Serratia) on the shower curtain. As another reviewer mentioned, the placement of the shower head with the tub was not ideal. I booked "Deluxe Room" according to the room I wanted from the photos, but I was given a different "Deluxe Room" upon arrival.

Rita was very helpful despite her busy schedule. We unfortunately pre-booked activities before our stay but I highly recommend you ask Rita as she can provide the best advice for activities to do. She was one of the most helpful and sweetest staff we had during our stay in Portugal. If there was any issues she was easy to contact and a pleasure to chat with. Our room came with a washing machine, drying rack and even a beach umbrella which made our stay that much more comfortable.

There isn't a proper cooling system, so it can get quite warm in the house. There is a fan thats provided but no air-conditioning so be wary. The location is also quite narrow, so if you plan to visit without a car be mindful to wear comfortable shoes and know that a short walk can be tiring as its walking up hil..

We loved our stay in Lagos! The apartment is located in a quiet and safe area, yet close to everything—grocery stores, restaurants, and the beach. It was very well equipped, with a fully functional kitchen that made cooking meals a breeze. Rita, our host, was incredibly welcoming and always available, offering great recommendations for local spots. We had an amazing experience and would definitely stay here again!

No AC

The host Rita was very friendly and helpful. The location of the apartment was very close to the center, about a 5 minute walk. You could use the kitchen (community kitchen).

There is no airconditioning (room 1). They did have a Dyson ventilator but it did not cool enough. The house is pretty noisy. So you hear your neighbors if they walk or go up and down the stairs.

Very clean and centrally located - the owner, Rita was very helpful :)

We stayed here for 5 days and we had a very pleasant stay. The room was quite big as well as the bathroom, and it was very quiet at night and very close to the city center. Would definitely come back and stay here again. Rita was a very lovely host and very helpful throughout our stay with great tips about Lagos.

Quaint location. spacious , clean and comfortable room. Extremely friendly and helpful host who spoke good English and went out of her to help us.

Challenging for older older people to carry heavy luggage up very steep staircase to accommodation

Beautiful, clean and spacious apartment. Rita, the host, is wonderful and very helpful.

Fan placement is important as there is no AC but the area is quiet enough to keep the windows open
