About Baluarte da Vila

Located near one of the entrance doors of the historic town of Lagos, within the old town walls, the Baluarte da Vila Apartments arised from the dream of rehabilitating an old manor holiday house dated from the early nineteenth century.

Surrounded by the original old wall of the city on the south side, the building maintains some of its original features, influenced by the romantic period of the Portuguese Discoveries, such as the use of Santa Catarina tile on the pavement, the application of typical limestone linings around the doors and windows and the use white color of the facades which helps to reflect the intense sun of the summer months. It is still visible the remnants of Arab culture with the persistence of terraces (açoteias) to the detriment of roofs.

Next to where once was the Church of Our Lady Grace, where it was buried the Infant Henry the Navigator, this old style hotel aims to celebrate the town's history, pioneer in the Discoveries. The aparthotel situated in one of the town's hills offers a privileged view over the historical city center of Lagos and it's magnificent bay.

Feel the pleasure of waking up with a calm and relaxing view over the blue sea. Enjoy a central location, with the comfort of moving on foot to any cultural point in the town.
