HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Casa Mãe is a modern retreat on the edge of Lagos’s old town, blending Portuguese tradition with clean, contemporary design. Set across a cluster of buildings, including a 19th-century estate and minimalist new architecture, the hotel balances heritage with a fresh, forward-thinking spirit. Interiors are calm and natural, with handcrafted details, local ceramics and soft, earthy tones. Guests can enjoy seasonal dishes in the open kitchen restaurant, relax by the pool, unwind in the rooftop spa, watch a film at the outdoor cinema or wander through the gardens filled with fruit trees and native plants. With a strong connection to local makers, wellness and slow living, Casa Mãe is a thoughtful base for exploring the Algarve or simply staying still.
Casa Mãe isn’t just a place to stay, it feels like stepping into a creative community where everything, from the food to the ceramics, has a story.
