Travel
R. do Jogo da Bola 41, 8600-712 Lagos, Portugal
We discovered Casa Mãe by the historic city walls of Lagos, just a short walk from the beach. Aleem enjoyed the relaxing ambience and nearby waves while Yvonne loved the details of the casa featuring Portuguese craftsmanship throughout and dishes made with ingredients from the casa's organic vegetable garden and out of town farm.

Flights
Fly into Lisbon (LIS) or Faro Airport (FAO). There are more direct flights to Lisbon but if you're already in Europe, Faro is closer to the venue.
Another tactic is to get any direct flight to Europe and use some of the smaller European airlines to get to Lisbon/Faro.

Rental Car
Renting a car and driving from Lisbon or Faro to Lagos is fairly easy. We suggest a compact car as the streets in Lagos are narrow.
Driving from Lisbon is a 2.5 hour drive and Faro is about a 1 hour drive away.
