## Neighborhood

Burgau and Salema are charming fishing villages nestled between Lagos and Sagres. Tucked into a small cove and protected from the wind by surrounding cliffs, Praia do Burgau offers a picturesque spot for relaxation. It’s the perfect starting point for a peaceful beach holiday or to discover the beauty of the Western Algarve. The area boasts fantastic seaside restaurants and bars, along with several stunning beaches waiting to be explored. If your ideal holiday involves soaking up the sun and swimming in clear waters, this village has everything you need.

Within a 15-minute drive, you'll find three excellent golf courses and some of the Algarve's top surfing spots. Just 8 kilometers away lies the historic town of Lagos, known for its vibrant nightlife, bustling marina, and diverse selection of shops, cafes, and restaurants. The region also offers plenty of activities, including surfing, fishing, diving, golf, tennis, and scenic hiking trails.

## Transit

Burgau is approximately a one-hour drive from Faro Airport, with convenient car rental services available directly in the airport parking lot. Traveling by train takes about 4 to 5 hours.

While public transportation is an option in the area, it is limited, so having a rental car is highly recommended for flexibility and convenience.

Not suitable for winter stay
The location of the flat is great, beach, ocean and breathtaking cliffs as well as wonderful walks along the coastside directly accessable from the flat.There are only two rooms with windows, three rooms (1 bedroom and both bathrooms) are without any window. There is not really a heating facility, only the turned-around air condition which makes it warm within seconds, but the warmth is also gone within seconds. The flat is cold with high humidity. We stayd mid December to mid January, so flat may be ok in summer times, but definitely not in winter times. In one windows-less room a dehumidity machine was running - and it was full every day. Additionally, we had a lot of trouble with warm water which was not available for days. After some contacts with the agency, plumbers have been sent and fixed it. Kitchen is poorly equipped, no oven (no cake, no pizza, ...), cooking facility ok, but sharp knifes, slicing knifes, knife for slicing bread etc. are missing, pans and pots ok, cutlery ok. No laundry rack available, you can't dry your towels and/or bathing cloth on the terrace, inside nothing drys due to the humidity problem. No cleaning facilities (broom, hoover, ...) are available, so you can't clean the flat during a longer stay.

Gut, aber.....
Die Unterkunft ist eigentlich für 4 Personen nicht geeignet. Ein Schlafzimmer hat weder Fenster noch Lüftung, für 4 Personen gibt es 1 2-er Sofa.

Gran descubrimiento
No habíamos hecho expectativas pero nos ha encantado la zona, las playas, el alojamiento… solo una EGA, el segundo dormitorio no tenía ventana exterior.

BEL EMPLACEMENT
Logement très propre et belle vue. Il faudrait investir dans la literie et un canapé. dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de fenêtre dans la première chambre. Attention pour les ados pas de réseau téléphonique mais possibilité de se connecter au wifi quand ça fonctionne.

Ruhige Lage mit herrlichem Ausblick
Man landet im Westen von Portugal zwischen den zwei kleinen, noch recht ursprünglichen kleinen Orten Salema und Burgau. Restaurants in ausreichender Zahl vorhanden. Nette Strände. Die Wohnung ist sehr schön, hat eine tolle Terasse und heizt sich nicht auf, weil sie im Souterrain liegt. Was uns nicht klar war, unsere Tochter aber nicht gestört hat, ein Schlafzimmer hat kein Fenster! Im Wesentlichen ist die Wohnung recht ruhig, wenn nebenan geduscht wird, hört man das aber deutlich. Würde ich ingesamt aber noch mal buchen.

Feiner Platz
….leider hatte der 2. Schlafraum kein Fenster und war extrem muffig…. Zum Glück haben wir ihn nicht benötigt. Ansonsten sehr empfehlenswert.
