The Casinha Canal - a beautiful holiday home at the Algarve

The “Casinha Canal” is a charming, romantic old townhouse in the historic centre of Lagos, the prettiest and most exciting city in the western Algarve, with the best beaches, bars, restaurants and shops within walking distance.

This Algarve holiday home is located in a quiet street and offers a beautiful sunny roof terrace. It is ideal for singles, couples, or families with a child who want luxury, sophistication and a romantic retreat while enjoying a whole house for themselves – at the same price as a holiday apartment in town.

On the ground floor there is a large living room, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining table, space for a third bed if required and a separate shower room. On the upper floor you will find a large bedroom for two with direct access to the roof terrace and a WC.

For your information you will receive our holiday home info with everything you need to know about the house and the best recommendations for food, drink, shopping, excursions and beaches of Lagos and the Algarve. Our property manager lives in the centre of Lagos. She is always available for any questions that may arise during your stay.

Portugal is serious about wine.
Despite the famous Port Wine, Portugal seems to be in the second-tier in the wine world, right after France, Italy, and Spain. And yet, Portuguese wines win the most prestigious awards every year.
Try vinho verde, white wines from Alentejo and the red wines from the Douro region.

Neighbourhood markets are fun.
Markets are the essence and beating heart of any town or city, and Portugal is not an exception. In Lagos you will find the fish market every morning at the Avenida. And on Saturday there is a big market with vegetables and fruits of the region.

Azulejos Tileart.
There’s no other place in the world where #tileart is so popular. Prepare to find elegant-painted tiles on the historical buildings, modern design instalments and even souvenirs shops.
Be careful where you buy the tiles from though. In recent years, a parallel business consisting of ripping tiles off from walls and sell it in places like street fairs and markets – e.g. Feira da Ladra, in Lisbon – has arisen.

Fado music will grab your heart.
Fado is probably the most melancholic and profoundly emotional music you’ll ever hear and still somehow makes the ideal soundtrack for every trip to Portugal. Even if you don’t understand a word, it has the power to make you thoughtful.
