Flat for rent - Lagos

Sally A.'s avatar

On Flatio since October 2026

Nestled within the historic city walls of Lagos on a peaceful residential street, Esconderijo do Polvo Preto is a beautifully updated one-bedroom apartment blending authentic Portuguese character with modern comfort.

One of this apartment's standout features is its spacious private balcony, with outdoor dining and a comfortable lounge sofa. The full-length extendable awning allows you to enjoy this outdoor space in comfort throughout the day, providing shade when needed while still allowing you to make the most of the Algarve sunshine. Overlooking a charming, traditional Lagos street, it is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast, work outdoors, read a book, or relax with a glass of Portuguese wine after a day exploring the Algarve.

Inside, the apartment offers everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay, including heating, high-speed Wi-Fi, a Smart TV and a relaxing seating area. A dedicated workspace makes it ideal for remote working, while the fully equipped kitchen includes a coffee machine and everything needed to prepare meals. A washing machine is also provided, making it suitable for longer stays.

Whether you are planning a relaxing beach holiday, an Algarve adventure or an extended remote-working stay, Esconderijo do Polvo Preto provides a comfortable and stylish base in one of Lagos' most desirable locations. Being within the historic city walls you are just moments from the city's cafés, restaurants, bars, galleries and boutique shops. The apartment offers the rare combination of a peaceful setting while being within easy walking distance of everything Lagos has to offer.

The beautiful beach of Praia da Batata is just a six-minute stroll away, while the renowned Dona Ana Beach can be reached in around 10 minutes via the scenic coastal boardwalk, with stunning views of the Atlantic and Lagos' famous golden cliffs. The wide sandy beach of Meia Praia is approximately a 20-minute walk through the vibrant marina area, which also boasts a wide-selection of stylish waterfront cafés and restaurants as well as offering opportunities for boat trips, dolphin-watching excursions and watersports. The famous sea caves of Ponta da Piedade are easily reached by boat, kayak or coastal walk.

About host

Sally A.'s avatar

On Flatio since October 2026

Welcome to my home in the beautiful Algarve. My love of travel and discovering different cultures eventually led me to make Portugal my home. After exploring many parts of the world, I fell in love with the Algarve's unique combination of spectacular coastline, charming towns, outstanding food and wine, and relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle. As a passionate traveller myself, I've been staying in holiday homes for many years and understand what makes a stay truly memorable. I created this accommodation with the same care and attention to detail that I appreciate when I travel—comfortable, well-equipped, welcoming, and designed to help guests feel at home from the moment they arrive. I m always happy to share our local knowledge and recommendations, whether you're looking for the Algarve's most beautiful beaches, authentic local markets, exceptional restaurants, scenic walking trails, cultural events, or hidden gems away from the crowds. Whether you're visiting for remote working, a relaxing winter holiday, an active getaway, or simply to experience the best of southern Portugal, I hope you'll enjoy everything this wonderful region has to offer and leave with memories that inspire you to return.

How Flatio works

What happens after I make a booking?

Once you send a booking request, the host is notified that you are interested in their listing. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your booking.

Hosts are mainly interested in the profile of their guest. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your booking will more likely get approved.

What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the properties listed on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and Wi-Fi included. In rare cases, a property may not offer Wi-Fi – this is always clearly stated on the listing page.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the hosts offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a booking of the housing?

You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every listing. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.

While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the hosts on Flatio.

Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?

Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.

If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the host and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.

In the event that you move in and the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio, let us know as soon as possible!

If the conditions for the withdrawal are met and the host can't fix the issue immediately, you have the option to withdraw from the lease agreement with a full refund. We'll also actively help you find an alternative accommodation and remain by your side until everything is fully resolved.

You can read the conditions and all details about our Move-in Guarantee in this article of our Help Center.

How can I pay?
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my booking?

How you can cancel a booking varies depending on what stage the booking is in.

Is your booking request still waiting for host approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!

However, suppose the owner has already approved your booking request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the booking before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the host accepts your booking, the property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.

Do you have an approved booking and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your booking, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
