Wintering in Lagos - February
A short stroll from the heart of Lagos old town
Lagos is one of the Algarve's most beloved towns and for good reason. A historic old town with cobblestone streets, great restaurants, lively cafés and a beach within walking distance. Vila Branca sits just outside the center, quiet enough to unwind, close enough to walk into the buzz whenever you feel like it.
February in Lagos is calm, sunny and surprisingly local. The summer crowds are long gone and the town is yours to explore at your own pace.
Where you'll stay
Vila Branca is for those who want to be close to the action without being in the middle of it. A short walk from Lagos old town, its cobblestone streets, restaurants and cafés. Quiet enough to properly unwind at the end of the day.

Your winter program in the Algarve
Embark on unforgettable hikes through breathtaking landscapes and stunning scenery.
Our intermediate-level trails typically cover around 12 kilometers, with shorter and longer options available to suit every pace. Expect an average of 200 meters of climbing, so a basic level of fitness is recommended.
Some paths are gentle and easy-going, while others offer a bit more of a challenge with longer stretches or trickier terrain, like soft sand or loose rocks. But don’t worry, we leave no man behind!
→ The old town is your backyard — some of the best evening walks start right outside the hotel door.
→ We will offer a cut-off or shorter version of the hikes if possible. We're happy to try our best to make sure everyone can join.
