Life at Casa Mãe
Picture your arrival: your driver meets you at Faro Airport, the luggage is taken care of, and before long you are in Lagos, where Casa Mãe waits. A design-led boutique hotel in Lagos with its own organic garden.
Organic kitchen garden and design by local artisans set the tone for the days ahead. Restaurants and a café celebrate garden produce and Algarve fish. It is a stay we recommend especially for couples, design lovers, food lovers.
Beyond the hotel, Algarve unfolds at your own pace. The Algarve is Europe's sunniest coastline, with more than 300 days of sunshine a year. In the west, golden cliffs, grottoes and sea stacks frame hidden coves; in the east, the Ria Formosa lagoon shelters islands, flamingos and quiet fishing villages.
